Why Does Nokia Exist in 2018? #Helpful Post

hey guys the Austin Nokia used to be one

of the biggest tech companies in the

world however after a few dark years of

Windows Phone they've actually merged

sort of better than ever and they

actually have a full lineup of Android

phones and some non Android phones but

of course the question is why does Nokia

exist in 2018 so of course we have to

start with the Nokia 3310 now if this

looks familiar to you we actually did an

entire video on the 3310 pretty recently

the sort of gist of it is is that the

original 3310 was an absolute legend and

this is sort of a modern remake with

some updated internals and sort of a

more importantly some retro style so

sure for a lot of people this is going

to be a novelty rather than a phone that

you're actually going to want to use

everyday however this is only one of a

surprisingly large amount of phones that

Nokia sells today we're things get a

little more interesting is with the

Nokia - now this takes a huge step all

the way up to running Android and with

only a hundred dollar price tag there's

a lot to like here ok let's go open and

the first thing we see is the phone

itself now something that sort of

separates this from a lot of other super

budget phones is actually going to be

the build around back you're going to

see it's got a plastic shell over around

the actual edges and the frame it's

going to be made out of aluminum that

makes a surprisingly big difference to

the actual feel in the hand it does feel

a lot nicer than the hundred dollar

price tag would suggest but if we pop

off that back panel and what you'll find

is not only a pair of SIM card slots but

you're also going to be getting microsd

expandable 'ti and you can use all three

of those at the same time something else

you're going to find here is

unfortunately an unremovable battery but

it's going to be a massive 4100 milliamp

hours so that is a very big battery for

pretty much any phone for context most

Android flagship store somewhere into

the 3,500 milliamp hour range when you

consider that this is $100 budget phone

with hundred dollar budget specs that

battery is going to make this thing last

forever what you're getting here is a

pretty solid five inch 720p display now

what's really impressive about this is

it actually gets surprisingly bright I

mean yeah of course you see $100 phone

you're gonna think that it's not going

to be super cutting-edge but for most

people you're going to be totally fine

with this screen know at this point this

is all sounding a little bit too good to

be true

and where things start to fall apart is

with the specs so inside this guy is

powered by a snap

2:12 processor and that is not exactly

going to be fast it is going to be

quad-core but it's only going to be

using cortex a7 cores which are

old-school and very very slow making

things a lot worse is the idea this only

has one gigabyte of RAM now it's going

to be kind of usable that's going to be

fine

for a lot of things but the issue is

that multitasking is pretty much going

to be a no-go and apps are going to be

constantly being ejected out of the

memory the good thing is this is running

on Android 7.1.1 nougat and they will be

getting an update to Oreo soon and for

the most part the software is going to

be nice and clean there's really no

extra bloat where it's going to be

pretty much as you would expect to find

on something like a pixel around back

it's rocking an 8 megapixel camera now

if we take a look here you know what

that's actually not going to be that bad

I mean it's going to be a little bit low

on dynamic range and it's still going to

be a touch Saabs

$400 what you're getting here is going

to be solid build quality pretty crazy

battery life at the expense of a little

bit of performance however luckily Nokia

also has a range of other devices

available including the Nokia 6 open

this guy up it's immediately apparent

that this is going to be a larger phone

so this guy oh wow you actually can tell

immediately is going to be a little bit

more of a premium build so where's the

Nokia to have a little bit of plastic on

the back how do you actually open this

as I was saying the build quality is

going to be a little bit more premium

here so as opposed to having just an

aluminum chassis what we're getting here

is a full unibody design with actual

aluminum on the back now the only thing

that kind of jumps out to me a little

bit and honestly that's because I've

been looking at so many flagships lately

is that the bezels are going to be a

little bit large but that does leave

room for the actual haptic buttons on

the bottom as well as you're going to be

getting an earpiece which doubles as a

stereo speaker along with well that a

little tiny one on the bottom actually

doesn't sound that great so you can tell

it is using both speakers but it sounds

a little bit muffled it's not terrible

mind you but it just doesn't sound very

clear which is a little bit odd for dual

speakers inside you're going to be

getting an octa-core Snapdragon 430

processor now in addition to having

double the cores of the Nokia 2 they're

also going to be cortex a53 based which

is going to be significantly faster

while still giving you decent battery

life now the rest of the specs are going

to be with three gigs of RAM as well

64 gigs of storage however one of the

only things that's going to start Lee

let this phone down is the idea that

only has a 3000 milliamp hour battery

and with a spread like that it's

actually not going to be that bad but is

definitely not going to last anywhere

near as long as the nokia 2 with its

massive four thousand milliamp hour

battery

however just like little kid 2 we are

going to be getting a super-clean build

of Android and yet again it's going to

be running new get with a future upgrade

to Oreo it also is in the same camera

app but it actually looks like this is a

little bit of a better sensor so as

opposed to the 8 megapixel sensor on the

nokia 2 this guy is rocking 16

megapixels yeah that's a lot better

especially the white balance is much

more accurate oh yeah no that is going

to be a big big change might not be the

greatest camera on a smartphone you've

ever seen but for the price I'm not

complaining that's actually looking

pretty nice it might not be super

exciting but this is a fairly decent

looking mid-range device especially

considering that there's a new version

coming out soon might be worth checking

out I've got to say no kids actually

been doing a pretty good job so far all

these phones are decent if not actually

pretty solid however the next and the

newest phone I had to take a look at

today is the Nokia 7 plus so this is a

brand new device in Europe it should

cost around 400 euros or once it comes

to the state summer in the neighborhood

of about 450 dollars

it'll makes this interesting is that not

only doesn't have Android 8.0 Oreo out

of the box but it's also going to be an

Android one device meaning that's going

to get two years of guaranteed Android

updates as well as that same fairly

stock build of Android that's going to

come pre-installed and that's actually

something that Nokia is going to be

doing across the board with their new

phones so everything above the Nokia 2

is going to be Android 1 certified so if

you want to make sure that you're going

to be getting the latest updates that's

actually going to be a big win pop this

guy open and we're getting something

that should look a lot more modern even

though these all look almost identical

when you actually whoa this is copper

yo that looks really cool I didn't

realize so you're looking at it straight

on from the back it's mostly black but

especially when you flip it over to the

side it's got this sort of brushed

copper look and that even comes across

to little things like around the camera

which also has a little Zeiss logo oh

man this is this is a really good

looking phone I can't get over just how

nice this feels in the hand so because

it's got that sort of copper Ridge

around it it actually does sort of

settle really nicely and on top of that

what we're going to be getting is a 6

inch 2

with a 18 by 9 aspect ratio so it's not

going to be bezel-less but it looks a

little bit nicer and we're also going to

be getting a full 2160 by 1080

resolution around back you're going to

be finding not only the fingerprint

sensor but also your dual cameras it's

like a lot of higher-end flagships one

is going to be the wide-angle camera and

one is going to be the telephoto option

with a 2x zoom alright so if I take a

picture of Ken on the wide-angle camera

and then zoom into 2x yeah like most of

these the telephoto camera doesn't look

quite as nice but it should be available

as should be kind of helpful to have

especially when you want to get a little

bit of a different perspective on things

interestingly this also has a 16

megapixel camera up front actually it's

going to be higher megapixel than the

rear and dude that's not that at all

actually

there's a little bit of depth of field

there to spec wise you're going to be

getting something that's going to be

basically on par with what you'd expect

at the price point a snapdragon 660 that

being said it actually does perform

pretty well and it is going to be backed

up with 4 gigs of RAM as well as 64 gigs

of storage so we're going to be getting

only a single speaker unlike the dual

speaker on the Nokia 6 but thankfully it

actually does sound better and even more

thankfully this still does have the

headphone jack so you know so this guy

is going to be rocking a 38 hundred

million power cell which while not quite

on par with the Nokia 2 is still going

to be on the upper end of what you would

find on most flagships especially

considering these slightly lower end

internals in this guy if the Nokia 7

plus does come to the US around $450

it's actually going to be a really hard

phone to beat I'm sure you're going to

be giving up a little bit of performance

but at this kind of price you're getting

nice build quality a solid camera good

screen I mean really the only thing I

can complain about is it doesn't have

stereo speakers and even then the

speaker itself here sounds pretty good

so nokia has seen a massive turnaround

and of course some people are going to

miss the old Windows Phone days but now

that they're making Android devices

they're actually doing a really good job

of making decent mid-range as well as

budget devices that have solid build

quality good battery life and just have

a nice clean build of Android that's

actually going to get updates so should

they exist in 2018 yeah of course they

should they're doing some really cool

stuff I've got to say I'm actually happy

that I got to give a good answer on one

of these
