OnePlus Nord 5G - a good replacement for Motion?
- OnePlus Nord 5G at $500/550 with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, 6 cameras, 90HZ Refresh rate and a 4115mAh 30W fast charging battery seems like a good replacement for Motion. Any views?

The other nice thing is that it's guaranteed to get Android 11 and Android 12, and three years of security patches.07-10-20 08:26 AMLike 0 - 07-10-20 11:03 AMLike 0

- Crazy. Damn near impossible to beat value, performance (SOC), battery and support. How are the cameras?07-10-20 03:05 PMLike 0

The mid tier is getting insanely competitive..07-10-20 03:07 PMLike 0 -
- That's phenomenal. 199 for this device (just hit up Nokia's site and Amazon) and Android 11 and 12 guaranteed is top notch.
I hope these newer offerings put a tremendous amount of pressure on other Android OEM's to support longer.
If I were in the market for a new slab I would definitely support them and this device.
I have been pretty impressed by Samsung's A series, especially the A51 and A71 but this Nokia seems in the same realm and half the cost of the A71.
So interesting in the mobile handset business right now. Now 1500 dollar devices and 199 that will do everything albeit marginally slower in real world usage and use cases. 🤯07-10-20 03:56 PMLike 0 - That's phenomenal. 199 for this device (just hit up Nokia's site and Amazon) and Android 11 and 12 guaranteed is top notch.

Samsung is the safer bet...07-13-20 09:15 AMLike 0 - Low margins... or no margins? After three years HMD just made their first profits (before taxes - so after taxes they are probably still in the red). But most of their revenue is on feature phones not smartphone phones. I do have hopes for the Nokia brand in the US, I could see it taking TCL place for entry level devices and maybe moving up... but at some point a business has to work like a business. Those private investors gambling on the Nokia name and a future IPO, won't keep throwing money at HMD forever.... three years is usually as far as things go. But this isn't going to be a good year for anyone in smartphones....
Samsung is the safer bet...
Regardless of how things go, I'm not worried about HMD Global, or their commitment to Android One, over the next 3 years. After that is anyone's guess.07-13-20 09:25 AMLike 0 -
I really don't know if HMD Global will be around in three year or not... just pointing out that they are no better off than LG, Sony or Lenovo/Motorola.Last edited by Dunt Dunt Dunt; 07-13-20 at 09:51 AM.

You might have come to accept that, but it not what you were telling everyone.

But the fact that TCL actually upheld every one of their commitments bolsters my confidence in HMD Global to adhere to theirs.07-13-20 10:06 AMLike 0 -

- Are there really any guarantees that any company will be around in 3 years. After what's happened in 2020, anything could happen to any company. It's a crapshoot for tech companies imho.Troy Tiscareno likes this.07-13-20 11:43 AMLike 1
- That’s why I was hoping you had some inside track on information......
Very little information from my channels.....
I suspect this will be more about positive cash flow and exit strategy. Could always sell to another VC with fresh resources at discount.07-13-20 11:46 AMLike 0 -
In 2019, they were 2nd behind only iPhone as the highest resale value phones in the world.
With only 900 employees, Android One provided by Google, and Foxconn doing all the manufacturing, their cost structure is very contained.
They are essential a design house (for which they are constantly winning awards) and marketing company.
At the end of the day, if there is no room for well-built, exceptionally well-supported, stock Android, non-Chinese phones at all price ranges, then god help us all.Last edited by conite; 07-13-20 at 12:09 PM.

They sell four times as many feature phones as smartphone... but they've gone from a high of 20 Million feature phones to only about nine million a quarter now.
And India, is where HMD started their reinvention of Nokia.... the brand loyalty is way down.
Something wrong when owners of your phones aren't happy enough to buy again.
Don't get me wrong I'd love to see Nokia succeed, much prefer their updated phones than what TCL was trying to push on prepaid and entry level users in the US. Nokia has the whole package....07-13-20 01:24 PMLike 0 - Smartphone sales don't look too great....

The highest resale value in Android is a good indicator of build quality and customer satisfaction too, so it's hard to reconcile that with a bad couple of quarters and "low brand-loyalty" .
