Gosh, I want Nokia to come back to the smartphone game so much. Especially with their crazy unique cameras! Does anyone remember the N95 and how revolutionary it was with its 8GB tiny spinning hard drive?

Well, my Nokia 7+ has served me quite well.

They have been in the smartphone game for a few years now. What made you think they weren't?

Nokia could make crazy devices like the N95 and others because they had their own factories and supply chain back then. HMD buys off-the-shelf components from Samsung, Sony and others and makes mid-range phones that are indistinguishable from most Chinese and Indian OEMs, who are using the same parts.

And even then, their best features seem to be going away. My Nokia x6 in 2018 came with a stock version of Android. This one has a free trial of Spotify and ExpressVPN, i.e. bloatware.
