  • Nokia is still kicking thanks to HMD Global, and the G60 5G is one of its latest, more affordable phones.
    Henry has it in hand as it's announced at IFA 2022, but this time things are different. HMD has announced Circular, a subscription plan for loaning smartphones that incentivises people to hold onto their devices for longer.
    The company has partnered with charitable organisations to do this, and you can get the G60 5G for £12.50 per month in the UK. But is it worth it when the phone only costs £249 to begin with?

    £174 just for the first year?! I'd rather buy the phone outright, use it for as long as possible, then consider what the market was offering at that time having saved £144 per year, rather than being locked into an open-ended commitment to Nokia.

      Honestly, you pay $12 a month in exchange for points...

      You get points, which probably can be used to change battery and other parts. + full insurance, so if you are the kind of guy that often loses its phone at the bar, or live somewhere where phone thefts are common, this is actually a good deal. But if you live in a safe area, not much going on in life, never really lost a phone, buying the phone straight away is the better option. It really just depends what you are up to

      agreed in a way, but the insurance costs many upto £6 per month so, if you choose to insure phones it does factor better?

    Does the display use PWM?(pulse width modulation)

    • @BrianMillsSkills
      @BrianMillsSkills Рік тому +2

      It's IPS LCD so it doesn't. If you are PWM sensitive which a percentage of people are, then I'm sure you prefer the IPS LCD screens, mostly it's Motorola who still release a few IPS screen phones and pretty much all Nokia's are IPS too, which I think is great. I think this is a solid phone for the price overall, but the Motorola G200 5G is the most high spec phone I've seen in the last 12 months with an IPS screen, which also a nice 144htz HDR screen too, as it has a 888+ 5G chipset. If that is still available where you are then it's a really good buy, I own it and picked it up for £320, it's RRP was £399.

    The subscription plan is just too expensive, what are they setting up that costs £30?
    In 18 months you will have paid for the phone.
    I have just bought one but paid in full, my house insurance will cover it for accidental damage
    or theft.
    If you do decide to buy one, buy it direct from Nokia and you will get a free case.
    Only time will tel how long it lasts.

    I owed this phone since 10 of November. The model is quite good and reliable, but I was very surprised when I faced the following issues:
    1. I didn't find how to add the network connection speed indicator to Status bar.
    2. There is no option to mute the System start sound 🤔🤔🤔
    3. There is no option to set auto-reply for incoming calls when BT device is connected.
