    Remember, this is made by HMD Global, not the original Nokia from the 90’s/early ’00s that we all remember and loved. This (re)incarnation is just an OEM licencing/re-branding arrangement, like how the new Android “Blackberry” phones are made by TCL/Alcatel and not Blackberry themselves anymore.

    Nokia Fan here. Happy to see them back, though in essence its not the same Nokia, its just the branding. Not sure though if it will be the same quality like the Nokia Phones of yesteryear. Crossing my fingers that Nokia will be like the mobile giant they used to be. But the comments section shows they still have name recognition so looks good.
