Most of HMD’s efforts, like that “repairable” phone are a joke. I’m not particularly impressed with this either, but it seems that the pogo pins provide standard USB, which could enable some fun hacks.

This is just a series of cases.

Ironic that the entry level Lumia 520 was more modular than these attempts.

as long as HMD doesn’t allow bootloader unlocking this is DOA

They have microSD, audio jack, okay chip (Snapdragon 4 Gen 2) and RAM (4-8 GB), replaceable batteries and screens, and HMD has pledged spare parts for seven years. That’s a good start, but it’s a bit overpriced for its specs and currently only available in Europe, so it probably won’t sell very well.

After the shit they pulled with the Nokia 9 PureView, how can someone bet money on their crap?
