Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.

This device looks kind of appealing actually, apart from the lacking processor it looks like a really nice phone for a really cheap price. Hope they can continue this way and release a new "flagship killer"

HMD tried the high end and it didn't work out well for them. They quit supporting the Nokia 9 like a year before what was promised.

But they are doing okay at the low end, which is where all of their current devices have been since about 2020. I doubt there is incentive to try mid-range flagship killers. This phone does what 90% of people need and that will be fine, and if they are going to concentrate on low-end range, at least the devices are somewhat repairable which is a win.
