2. Will N9PV camera be updated to have more fluid transition, better video stabilization an feature rich camera app suck as.slow mo etc.
3. Why does HMD camera app performs inferior to gcam on the same device. Tried on Nokia 8 and Scirocco. Results much better with gcam so much that it's the default app. Will hmd update their camera app ?
it's Fun that you want us Nokia smart phone users to listen.
I just bought a Nokia 7.2, but I have been facing issues with the Pure Display in the dark mode. The color distribution is inconsistent.
See the following pics.
YouTube and the notification drawer in the dark mode with pure display on:
Now look at images of a video I was watching.
With Pure display
Without Pure Display
Clearly, Pure Display is ruining the colors on the screen. I have shared the images and the videos describing this issue with your support team thousands of time. My device has been replaced twice in a month due to that issue.
Nobody is telling me if its a software bug or a hardware issue. And not just me, other owners of the Nokia 7.2 are facing the same issue. Many of them might not be even aware of it.
So my question is, Is this how the Pure Display supposed to work? Because I have failed to see any other improvement over non Pure Display screen.
Thanks a lot @HMDLaura for this wonderful activity where we can ask question or communicate directly to Wesley Lee. And thanks to Wesley lee too giving his valuable time to community members.
As we all know Nokia have powerful camera sensors enough to compete any other brands but still we are lagging(in some aspects). There was a time when people used to talk about quality of pictures on Nokia. We had 5233, N8, Lumia 1020 and powerful 808 which was milestone in back. And now we have Nokia 8.1 and Pureview 9 but somewhere they failed lil bit to get that market and appreciation. Everyone knows Nokia phones do best when we use G cam instead stock camera. Then why we are still waiting to overtake and give our best.
As a mobile photographer I always prefer to have a good camera sensor or bigger camera sensor not the mega pixel. As already mentioned by @singhnsk everyone is fighting for more megapixel on phone and that too with multiple no of camera on back and I don't know till what limit it's going to be continued. In future can we expect something new technology in imaging system or some other method than having multiple cameras on phone.
Can we expect new design for nokia phones in future? Like some special edition designs or metal and glass combine.
Thank you HMD, Nokia, @HMDLaura and Wesley Lee again for such a initiative,
for me it is interesting as it was with 5 cameras for Nokia 9 Preview. How long did it take to develop 5 cameras from design to finished device? What obstacles had to be overcome in order to achieve the required photo quality? Are you planning to continue this set of cameras, or will the configuration change?
Thanks
Also Wesley, what was the first Nokia model you owned?
Hello @HMDLaura Madam
Hello Wesley Lee Sir & welcome to the Nokia Phones Community.
1) Why Nokia not make more advertising in India.? (Like- Hordings, TV, Road side banners, Mobile Shop, Railway station, IT park, Mall)
2) Need better speakers and Audio quality on Nokia phones.Why Nokia are not providing Dolby Atmos on latest models.
3) Megapixels matter with Carl Zeiss lens in Nokia phones ? (I think its does not matter) But because Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 8.1, Nokia 8 Sirocco camera is better than Nokia 7.2 - 48 Megapixel.
4) Why Nokia phones price Little bit high by other phone company ?
5) Why Nokia Camera (inbuilt app) not giving better result like Google camera ? Nokia is always & forever best but not good as like Google camera. when improve Nokia Camera ?How does HMD plan on improving the imaging aspect of future Nokia phones? The Nokia 7.2's camera has been receiving mediocre to negative reviews online, especially when it comes to the Night mode, the quality taken by the ultrawide sensor, and when compared to GCam and years-old Nokia Lumia phones.
Why is there still no official way to unlock the bootloaders on ALL Nokia phones? And why on earth is HMD disabling that feature on the Nokia 7.2 and 6.2? I find it hard to believe this is related to security, even Google's own phones are extremely easy to unlock. With the Nokia 8 and first generation phones set to not recieve Android 10, I think it's only fair that you give users the choice to upgrade their own device at their own risk.
I mean, some OEMs even send out their phones to custom ROM developers directly. I just think having a devloper-friendly portfolio, or being developer-friendly in general, is a classic Nokia thing to do.
With the recent Counterpoint report of HMD slipping to 13th place (from 9th) globally, do you think it's a problem with the phones themselves or something else? What do you think HMD needs to/will improve in their upcoming devices?
Is Android One the way moving forward? Smartphones are becoming more and more differentiated by software, not hardware, according to FIH (one of HMD's manufacturers). The majority of Android One features are made by Google and not unique to Nokia phones. Do you think it's time to rethink the "pure, secure, and up to date" mantra and go the custom software route like the rest of the industry?
Speaking of secure, starting with Android 10, monthly security updates are now being handled by Google through the Play Store. Does this not threaten HMD's ability to advertise the feature as a unique selling point?
My Question is as Follows:
What will be HMD Global's approach in the next financial year to compete in the market?
As the Smartphone market has drastically changed in the last couple of years and now with many companies that are competing in the market very aggressively the competition has become tough.
As your price has been on the higher side with specs on a little lower side, how are you guys thinking to encourage people to switch to Nokia?
I am a huge Nokia fan and have been using them since I got my first smartphone.
I am eagerly waiting for something unique from HMD Global.
And I am hoping that you guys put an end to my wait next year.
Thank You
Do you think HMD produces too many phones?
HMD has many good phones from all price points (which is good) but without the resources of a large company, do you think the company is spreading its resources too thin by allocating too much resources on dozens of devices that has to be supported for 3 years? Do you believe HMD should continue making many good phones a year or few phones but with unique experiences that excel in their price point?
I mean to say is it possible always on display on lock screen on Pure Display Panel Like we have it Clear Black Glance Screen which is available on Nokia X2 Dual SIM(Right now uses this on sAMOLED).
Why there is not implementation of enhanced (HDR Auto/On/Off) Color option in HDR in Camera Application?
