Sadly, Nokia doesn’t support custom ROMs. But apart from that, they’re great.
Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years

Nokia has decent phones dirt cheap that you can repair yourself, and you can buy spare parts cheap too, and it runs completely vanilla Android, with good multi year upgrade policy.

S24U comes with 256GB, not 128

Yes you are right, I just remembered it was small for the price, especially considering it does NOT have micro-SD.

At this point I don’t even know what vanilla android looks like lol. I kinda want to get a Nokia

Yeah let’s also support European companies over Chinese ones.

Except Nokia isn’t European anymore since Microsoft ruined them and sold the brand to the Chinese company HMD Global. You’re welcome.

Not only is HMD Global not Chinese, they’re actually the same Finnish company that people think of as “Nokia”. Nokia do a lot more than just phones and they sold their mobile phone arm to Microsoft, who then spun it off as it’s own company called HMD who licensed the Nokia name.
If you want to buy from a European brand, HMD/Nokia are worth considering.

I thought hmd was based in Finland?
GeneralInterest@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You are wrong. HMD is a Finnish company, not Chinese. Apparently it is largely made up of former Nokia employees.
If you’re going to be a smart-arse and say things like “you’re welcome”, maybe you should check the facts first.

they started manufacturing a specific model in the EU, though much more expensive.
