I would just get a Samsung S10e if I were considering the OP phone, terrific value for money right now, if you're looking for quality on the cheap.

If you want something more premium, grab the Samsung S20FE, which may or may not be listing for $600-ish at various retailers.

I'd like to see an S20FE for $600-ish. The Open box deal to BB from the other week is gone. Other than that it goes for 765$ plus taxes so like 870$ or so. That is more than 320$ over what this costs.

The S10e is faster than the phone you've listed, I say this without intending to reduce your contributions, which are appreciated.

Just a few options in the same price range, new, almost new, and very good condition options.

Again, good thread, but doubtful people want to spend this much for an IPS screen (10e has AMOLED). The 10e also has a superior SD855 CPU.

765G + 4500mah + less bloat means the 8.3 is viable for many compared to Samsungs.

No need to buy a P5 anymore too. If my phone broke I would really consider this over the OP7T option.

Nokia sold the right to use their name to HMD. So it wouldn't reflect in their stock price much.

just like how many other things are much cheaper in the US than Canada. Their market is bigger, demand is larger, therefore, prices are cheaper. econ 101

how is Nokia/HMD OS update cycle? Ideally if they keep updating quite frequently.

One thing Nokia does exceptionally well is updates, right down to their entry level phones. IIRC all of their phones get two years is OS updates, and three years of security patches.

Compared to everything at that price range ? Or are you comparing to something like the iPhone 12 which cost multiple times more ?
