POLL: Will you consider to move to Android for a Nokia flagship?

[sinime]

Tried it (Android) for 3 weeks and couldn't get into it. Something about it just bugs the hell out of me.

If Nokia builds an Android phone, I'm pretty much gone!

Yeah, the Arrow Launcher is pretty cool.

Absolutely YES. It is not even necessary to think it twice. I had a Lumia 1020 as a daily driver, my wife has a Lumia 830, I changed it for an iPhone 6s, now she's waiting for that Nokia flagship and dump Windows 10 Mobile for EVER. W10M such POS, device are not but Windows OS yes.

 

[Amunarjoh]

Already made that leap. From Lumia 1520 to Huawei P9

 

[Omonja]

Yes. I'll consider.

Nokia sold the name "Nokia" in smartphones and mobile devices to Foxconn. It like GE and before that RCA sold their brand name to other companies for branding. That what happens when a company does not want to continue on with low profit products!

Ultimately, THIS is my biggest concern. I bet we're all imagining a nice Fabula 1520 or 920 with Android but seeing that Nokia branded iPad Mini knockoff from not-too-long-ago worries me.

Nokia has leased their name, not sold it. Also they have all their patents which they are leasing.

You didn't read things correctly, Nokia, HMD and Foxconn are making the phones together. HMD is full of ex Nokia people.

It's not simply Foxconn by themselves using the Nokia name.

It will be designed by mostly HMD and Nokia and built by Foxconn.

So take it from there.

No because I have never bought a flagship device and I am not starting now

Look. I love my Dell Inspirion laptop with Win10 and touchscreen. But there is a reason that Samsung Galaxy devices currently sit ranking: #1, 2, & 3 on best phones on the market. The iPhone is #4 and that the carriers are practically giving away Windows phones.

Until the Lumia branding aftertaste is completely wiped off the menu and replaced with the "Surface" brand? It ain't happening.

Have you seen the inroads that off-brands like One+ had made buying high end hardware for $350-$400? There is no "full" android market.
