It was just perfect in size.
It was very well built, was very well designed, had a premium feeling you can't get on that price range.
The design and glass back was beautiful enough so that you wouldn't want to hide it using cover.
The lock button notification light was a superb feature that I still miss today.
Had some niche nice features like aptX or NFC. Even though I hadn't never used NFC, I had plan to use the aptX feature.
The pure Android experience was beautiful.
HMD regularly released updates for the phone.
The only downside that I remember was the non-programable assistant button. And HMD was late at releasing the source so custom ROM was not present
Was really waiting for Nokia 4.3. But it never came.

onyx, 11 Mar 2024Very good phone , until the battery swole up. Would fix it just for the software.Also having the problem of battery swelling past the rear sleek glass cover and a blue permanent vertical line on the right side of the screen. I bought mine in January 2020 and it has served me well since then.

I bought this phone in 2018 and still using it. It was accidentally fallen from my hand few times and had only a tempered glass crack. Camera is also better than most newly launched phones. You don't have to worry about its strength. Most durable phone I've ever used.

OK, here is my take on this phone. I got this phone on march 2019 (it's 4 y/o and still kicking) for an unbelievable price of 15 USD... I'm not joking. It was on sale with a catch, you had to change your provider and stay for 18 months + pay with a credit card... I was paying 25USD for my old plan (30GB+unlimited minutes on phone) and changed to a new plan (100GB + 300 mins on phone) for 20USD in the new company... It was a good deal!
This phone is a beast, I have dropped it from a pocket 3 times while riding my bike at over 30Km/h... just a few scratches and that's it. I couldn't believe how it survived all that with just a couple of scratches (NOT EVEN IN THE SCREEN!!).
I had some problems with the velocity in some apps, the problem were the apps... the reddit app is basically a bloatware, facebook is painfully bad programmed, GoPro app is shit, Whatsapp just have too many stickers (and still just slows down when I try to put one LOL)
No problem with the bluetooth (works at great distances) and no problems so far with the 3.5mm jack and the USB port (problems I had constantly with other phones of other brands).
I had some overheating issues while using bluetooth and listening music from youtube and traking with an app my heart rate and GPS, I had the phone in a case in the sun at 30°C while riding on my bike in the highway in a long distance trip (+90kms). I just took the phone out of the case and put it in my backpack and worked fine... Yeah... it's a f*cking beast.
I can't express how much I love this phone.

I used to do before android11 update, but it ruined that feature plus scrapped two memory cards. Then I believed. No more memory cards in this phone. HW in this phone is OK, but updates always cause hassle.

Please Nokia, produce the heir with similar characteristics and usb-c with fast charge. It is so light and comfortable that using it becomes a pleasure.

1. Awfully poor GPS.
2. Bad memory management... moreThat's bad idea, using memory card to handle apps.

Class 10, or higher and use it for internal. It would still be slow.
Better don't use cards as internal.
