- StudentStuff 9y agoFunnily enough, Nokia is #3 in sales among Android vendors. They literally outsell everyone (Google included) except LG, Samsung and Apple, quite impressive: https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/13/17007498/nokia-hmd-phones-sales-google-htc-oneplus-report https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/13/17007498/nokia-hmd-phones... Turns out there is a market for a well built phone that gets security and Android updates in a rapid manner!
- macspoofing 9y agoThe actual sales numbers put them way in the back of the pack. And are they actually making any money? Because LG moves 5 times more units and cannot make any kind of profit.
- StudentStuff 9y ago4.4 million phones is a good clip, esp. with how few devices Nokia has. LG has hundreds of models on sale (which is part of what bleeds their profits) while Nokia has a bit over a dozen. Much lower R&D cost, plus a smaller maintenance burden.
