When youre on SoC Shortage era and phone manufactures make an e-waste with AI gimmick instead optimizing phone spefications.
Bosic012, 24 May 2024I don't understand buying a new ultra budget phone. Just get something like a Samsung S9.... moreThere is no way they are selling the note for that
IpsDisplay, 24 May 2024HMD is a worse brand than lower tier brands like Cubot , oukitel, umidigi And that's ... moreYou can get an LG G8 for as low as 40 dollars. Now that's a way better deal than whatever HMD spews out.
Ugly camera island, weak old slowass inefficient chipset, overpriced, how tf this company can still existed? Even Redmi A3 or my 7 years old Redmi Note 5 Pro still better than this PoS.

And that's honestly sad with the resources HMD has available to them
If you must go ultra budget your wasting your money on this get a realme note 50 or an old old old old flagship and call it a day
Someone please buy this company and dismantle it!! God, these people have their heads in 2016.

I'm actually Australian and JB hi-fi tends to have good deals, or go bonkers on the pricing for some phones. (Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus for 829 AUD???)
The phone is straight from 2017.
"This is as big a surprise for us as it must be for HMD"
Why is it such a surprise, and why do you assume that HMD is surprised by a retailer selling one of its phones?!
Haven‘t seen 900x1600 as a phone display resolution in a long time if ever. And that display doesn’t seem like 16:9 so I suspect this is wrong.
Also, the inventors of the 28nm probably wouldn’t have thought it would ever be used for something „AI accelerated“
No NFC for tap to pay unlike the Pulse-no cashless payments.
Ah yes. Push out a 60hz 720p (HD) display, a slow ass chipset that makes chipsets from 2017 look faster and to top it off, a useless depth sensor and the THICKEST bottom bezel you've ever seen! It puts rugged phones to shame.
This thing is so trash that it has to offer AI performance to make it sound better, but we all know that the AI is either server side or simply slow as the chipset powering this POS.
HMD, you had one job to carry the legacy of Nokia, and you smeared it. I hope your happy.
With all hate, Mills.
Darth Caesium, 23 May 2024More e-waste. This device has no redeemable qualities. It should be sold at no more than $70, ... moreeven if it is free I won't touch it
"..USB-C port supports only 10W charging. Based on tests, the battery should retain 80% of its original capacity after 500 cycles."
That is absolutely awful for such slow charging.
yes! old classic... wifi4, 10w charging, HD display, finger-senzor on back ... nice!
the youngest generation may not even remember these phones anymore
They managed to make a phone that is worse than redmi a3 and more expensive than it.
