    European phone manufacturers should concentrate on making mid range but straight forward handheld devices for enterprise/govt employees without any gimmick.

    ill gladly throw my money at nokia than shitty flimsy chinese phones. Cmon Nokia saves us from the cancerous degeneracy that is xiao mi, oppo, huawei and other cheap knockoff garbage. You are our last bastion of hope.

    preferably one with removable battery.

    I am a Nokia user for a long time. The moment MS took over it rapidly became clear this wasn’t a good deal. I am happy that the Nokia brand is back in business and having the 6.1 and 7.1, intensive using them, I can only say they are verry good phones bought at a reasonable prise. So I hope they Will continue the good work. 👌👌👌

    What’s the point in making these videos if you come with outdatet information. 2013 ?. That is like 6 years ago. A lot have happened since then. Microsoft as you say own Nokia is not true. It’s outdated bullshit.

    The brand name was sold to a new company called HMD, formed by former Nokia employees in Finland. Meanwhile, the manufacturing, distribution and sales arms of Nokia have been bought by iPhone manufacturer Foxconn, which has also agreed to build the new Nokia phone for HMD.18. maj 2016

    Name owned by HMD
    the manufacturing, distribution and sales owned by Foxcoon

    Spec and price are what people look for.If they can do the job,why not.I don’t believe they can do it easily.

  11. Grateful for Christ on October 31, 2019 at 5:44 pm

  12. Komar udin on October 31, 2019 at 5:46 pm

    well i think if does european smartphone want to re- exis, they should to open a factory outside europe, such as indonesia, where are so many people want to contribute

  13. ashutosh john on October 31, 2019 at 5:47 pm

    Nokia was pioneer in camera and build quality in their peak but today they are miles behind in camera, preview 9 is just like huawei p9 with some extra camera but slow. Build quality is great but need to work on design and need to go with good processor. When they came with nokia 8 with high end processor and stock android for so less than flagships, i thought they were back with bang but with Nokia 8.1 they went with mid range processor and that made me go with lg g7

  14. unlucky me on October 31, 2019 at 5:48 pm

    i too would love to see what more nokia had to offer, they have first make it to my heart. and would grateful to see nokia comeback and left behind their competitor

  15. misterx zxc on October 31, 2019 at 5:48 pm

    Those BQ phones remind me so much of my Asus Zenfone 3 m1

  21. Bowtech2 on October 31, 2019 at 5:52 pm

  23. Iqbal Abdishakur on October 31, 2019 at 5:56 pm

    I don’t see tecno mentioned in a lot of places but in Africa they are huge

  24. Eremita Arcana on October 31, 2019 at 5:56 pm

    Thanks for this analyze
    I’m from Morocco, and from time to time I find some "bq" smartphones, being sold for affordable prices, I think that "bq" will be the next company to buy from my future smartphone, due to the cooperation with the label "Android one".

  25. Ferdinand Agustin on October 31, 2019 at 5:57 pm

    NOKIA should produce full screen display phones now, no more bezzels, so they can compete in terms of design

  26. Radu Cristescu on October 31, 2019 at 5:57 pm

    Let’s hope Nokia doesn’t innovate customers away. Maybe people like Android One, but want hardware more solid than the Pixel.

  27. Adriaan Cilliers on October 31, 2019 at 6:00 pm

    It doesnt matter if Nokia is a Finnish brand, their phones are still made in China. The only European thing about the phone is the name.

  28. #NOMOREcookiesFORya on October 31, 2019 at 6:00 pm

    My first phone was Sagem. Good riddance to both the phone and the company that made it!

  29. dhan1010 on October 31, 2019 at 6:03 pm

    Nokia should relaunch Communicator it’s celebrated business phone will be a great success

  30. Smart Baba on October 31, 2019 at 6:05 pm

    Inbuilt application should be bane in phones, and android phone have almost 15+ in built Google app, which make difficult for local industry to come and compete in app making industry.

  31. donotlike 4 anonymus on October 31, 2019 at 6:06 pm

    yes but nokia is shit… That use what windows os….. shit….
    I’d rather use nokia to break bricks….
    Sure they used to make great phones… But the smartphone market is not for nostalgia…

  32. Wheng Calabucal on October 31, 2019 at 6:08 pm

    Nokia

  33. DonJuanDeLaVerga on October 31, 2019 at 6:08 pm

    So… Europeans have been incredibly stupid.

  34. Mithlesh Shetty on October 31, 2019 at 6:10 pm

    2:47 we need this badly BQ

  35. Hemant Boricha on October 31, 2019 at 6:12 pm

    Fair phone that’s sounds racist !

  36. Scan End on October 31, 2019 at 6:15 pm

    The problem is Europe, particularly Germany and the Scandinavian countries have usually been hardware oriented. Why other nations are beating Europe is that they are better at software, in particular, OS software. No matter what people say Linux is still not user friendly. The only exception to this rule has really been the invention of MP3. So until European companies and institutions invest in the long process of OS and services development, which are usually high risk and take a long long time to develop then they wont succeed. They’ll just remain an ‘us too’ product

  37. Lutz M on October 31, 2019 at 6:15 pm

    What a stupid name of a phone , Fairphone

  38. Name Surname on October 31, 2019 at 6:17 pm

  42. kucam12 on October 31, 2019 at 6:19 pm

    I can only dream about European countries pooling their resources into making Nokia a viable competitor for the rest of the brands out there, making them fairtrade, non addictive European designed and manufactured phones… alas, it is but a utopic thing to do…

  43. TD on October 31, 2019 at 6:23 pm

    European phones are really bad. (Not joking)

  44. Bhadra Gogoi on October 31, 2019 at 6:25 pm
