In the past six months a lot has been going on in the smartphone world and we all have seen a lot of new designs and features. Some designs worked while some failed. We saw Google's abandoned modular project - Project Ara, The LG G5's modular design, Motorola's Moto Mods, Samsung’s Grenades (Note 7's) and Xiaomi's Mi Mix with a Bezeless Design.

In the Nigerian scene, Transission Holdings which owns Tecno, Infinix And Itel has not failed to surprise us with sleek devices.

You can agree with me that the Tecno Phantom 6 Plus was amazing though I never got a hands on review but the specs  I saw on other tech blogs were amazing but the pricing was a little bit off the bar. The Infinix Hot S was good as well.

Products by Apple, Google and South Korean Giants, Samsung are mostly what the rich folks go for these days. They've managed to keep that space by releasing top notch devices - the Samsung Galaxy S7, Google Pixel and iPhone 7.

Gionee, Huawei And Xiaomi are also doing averagely well in the Nigerian market.

You may ask - How Does Nokia Come Into The Picture?

Nokia’s biggest mistake was signing an agreement with Microsoft and they're definitely learning from their mistakes. Nokia is coming back to the Android scene this year and it's smartphones will be handled by HMD Global and Foxconn (a company who produces iPhones  for Apple as well). I think they'll beat other smartphone manufacturers in Nigeria if they play their cards right. 

I know Some Apple Fan Boys and Tecno Fan boys will come for me like :

But before that here are my reasons-


1  Artificial Intelligence


AI is the next generation of technology and it's something even new device should definitely have. Nokia is allegedly coming with its own AI assistant named Viki to make it the 4th smartphone company with an AI assistant for its devices.
The only Android smartphone that can compete with it in this area is the Samsung Galaxy S8 which will be coming with its new AI as well (Bixby).

Artificial intelligence helps users with various tasks on their device and can even control an entire house and gadgets if your home has a lot of IOT devices.

List Of Smartphone Companies With AI Support

Apple - Siri
Microsoft - Cortana
Google - Google Assistant
Nokia - Viki
Samsung - Bixby

I would have added Amazon's Alexa to the list but it's not a smartphone company.


2. Popularity


Tecno, Infinix And Gionee are much popular than Nokia smartphones because literally Nokia has no Android devices. The Nokia X and Nokia XL was a disaster so I'd rather not classify it an android phone. However in general, Nokia is still very popular, Most people who have two devices prefer using a Nokia phone as the secondary phone.

No matter what, the name Nokia still has that  special place in the hearts of mobile phone users in Nigeria. It hurt so much to see Nokia lose its place to other OEM's but with the kind of devices Nokia is planning on releasing this year, they'll certainly give other OEMs a run for their money.


3. Massive Advertising Budget

Nokia is planning a huge come back this year and they've budgeted almost $500 million dollars for just advertisements globally.


That's a massive amount of money. Other OEM's won't budget too much since they already have a certain place in the market already.


4. Updated Software


All new Nokia devices will be running on Android 7.0 and Nokia is reportedly working very closely with Google on their devices meaning that Nokia phones will definitely have a form of support from bug fixes to software updates via OTA unlike some of the other OEMs that release updates once in a blue moon.

Some wait till pigs fly before they send updates.

Nokia is planning to change all that.

SpecialAdviser:
Another nonsense is about to happen. I don't blame them. I blame the disunited South who sells their birthright for a chicken promise.

Is it not time the north gives Nigeria a break from governance? This clown will still come to promise heaven and earth and gobble some gullible followers into his promise.

This is why I see the South as the most stupid politicians in Nigeria. Does anyone remember all the time Tinubu was calling for a restructured Nigeria? what happens to his voice now? What of Fashola who was always calling for a state police? Where is his voice now?

Jonathan spent six years and failed to restructure the country only to make attempt based on politics at dying minutes.

Why can't the whole south understand that the North forms the greatest part of Nigerian problem? Where do we have population skyrocket without tangible efforts to feed them?

I cry for this country. Its either we restructure or we break up. No option. Very simple solution to many complicated problems

true my dear...We are Notin but slaves in our land...A Northern President come 2019,what happens to other tribes..are they not fit to Rule?

oludyke:
This is the most irresponsible statement that I've heard that somebody said this year. If indeed he said it, then Shehu is one of the most insensitive persons in Nigeria. That statement is not only reckless but wicked. The Southern Kaduna massacre has made me withdraw my support for this Buhari's government. I'll discourage people from voting for this government again. I feel pained supporting APC in the last election. Shehu does not deserve to be in that position again. This is sad.

bro,no cry abeg,dust ur PVC card and Vote for him again come 2019..Pls let ur slogan Remain sai baba 20129

kyrios:
This country just tire me

make e no tire u oooo,na sai baba till 2089...

Lanre4uonly:
It requires the collective will of every Nigerian for our dear country to survive irrespective of our ethnic, religious or political affiliations. It is very unfortunate this is happening.

very unfortunate how
Did we not say Baba him self has notin to offer to Nigeria.
U cant give what u dont have,simple.

I wonder why The mulsim and sai baba supporters are not commenting here.
Una better comment ooooooooooo

deebrain:
Foolish man of a foolish government.

So they are still throwing blames Abi?

Please, Zombies. What really will be the slogan for APC during the 2019 elections?

it wil be:Vote for Us and Shame Jonatan..lol
i told people Apc and Buhari has notin to offer...even if they have,buhari has none

FSBoperator:
What do expect from someone who bangs his head on the ground 5 times daily?

i ve said it many times,that even after apc leadership for 4 Yrs,they will blame Jona..

Am following this thread asap..
Hahahahhahaha

For me osubande is like an OLOsHI who guys Bleep for free

FSBoperator:
Osunbade is like a spare wheel cover and not a spare tyre

hahahahhahahaha..if my ribs no crack for this joke ee,make i no go toilet for 4 days...hahahahahhahahahahahhaah

FSBoperator:
The VP has some constitutional role to play but with Osunbade being sidelined the office is akin to a third choice goalkeeper in a FIFA tournament.

I heard that the northern mafia have already written Osunbade's resignation letter which they (northern mafia) cited Osunbade's desire to retire from the limelight of politics to face God's calling.

hahahahhahah..funny..u made my day...if na keeper osubande be,na arsenal keeper..lol

NNVanguard:
Is protest a crime? Did American government gun down the anti-Trump protesters?

ah tell u

okosodo:
Upon all the unhealthy support that buhari is receiving, he still failed woefully. I dare say that if Gej was given one tenth of the support that is being given to buhari, then we would be contesting now with the worlds greatest. The problem we have is tribalism.

yes,thats why we need to divide

yarimo:
Mtcheeew yeye man see how he is just relaxing , and back here in nigeria where he claims he is the president people are just suffering . and how are we going to believe he is really speaking with OSIBANJO and not photoshop ? Because this government and lies are like 5 and 6

this was how he was Overthrown during Military era..I wish Osibanjo will Call him and tel him never to come back again

Tolexander:
Taribo or Kanye?

yoluba west naaa

SIRmanjar:
U can't force anybody to pray for anybody it comes naturally..Hadid bin buhari dint make hiz famous five percent statement and carried evrybody along after his election, I don't tink he will face all the challanges his facing right now.
And evry region will give him dere support,well I feel it's not too late to carry evryone along.He needs to be a true leader of all not only a leader of one section ad one party.

bro,this is the best statement some one has made...is notin but the pure truth..u nailed it.
Buhari made the worst mistake by saying some are 5% while some are 97%.
Today that Trump is President,will he call the Protesters 4% and other 96%
We all kw buhari Hated some people[IGBOs].Notin can hide his Hatred!!!!

shortgun:
Na so I hear

globalresource:
Leave this guy alone. He has done nothing wrong. Moreover he has been travelling out before MMM started in Nigeria. Or he can't travel again?

I am begining to dislike this forum with their hate articles....
This is rubbish from nairaland...........

as at yesterday, Boss Chuddy was at Ejigbo playing novelty match, guider YINKA was in ABUJA.

I use to believe that nairaland does not need this kind of news for traffic.

nairaland is a toilet where every negetive post hits the front page

ayatt:
i suggest u should go back and read the memo very well for proper understanding..

Christians in the school never registered any form of organisation in the school, if they did it could have been duly recognised.

So please lets all stop the hatred

i hate some idots when they talk.
Who says Christains do not want a Registered religion in the campus.
Do u think,its ever simple
The fact remains that Nigeria can ne er be one..The hatred has been there for ages.
Hausa man hates any christan and calls him infidel

Ten12:
First: leap year happens every 4 years which means she is bellow 6yrs cos u said since she started celebrating her b'day. So you are dating an under age and if you ve had conjugal knowledge of her it means you're a pedophiliac..so I will only come to advice you when you are behind bars

Ishilove:

40kobo77:
I have no respect for this man.

This M.U.M.U went against the guy's code. There are some women that are not wife materials at all, and those kind of women you "CHOP AND CLEAN MOUTH" and that is what you should have done with Tontoh,and now you have a Marijuana smoker/a woman everybody has "TASTED" as a wife.

Now wey the Juju don clear for your eyes, i thank God.

Meanwhile, this PA looks like a real good wife material. OYA Marry this one, and leave the Drug Addict you marry before.

true talk my brother...i keep telling ladies,bad life,fucking everyman who comes ur way,double dating and so on will never make u a good wife.
Men prefers wild woman but when it comes to Marriage,they need calm and wife Material.
Beauty,wild life attracts a man even to Marriage but will never Keep him,simple.

This is very bad i must tell u.
Thank God people like KANU and FFK are being Vindicated!!!!!

queencalipso:
What human rights is he calling? The fight should start with their parents for sending little kids away all in the name of almajiri school. It's the fault of their parents for shifting their parental responsibilities to these so called mallams

Come to katsina and see how kids below the ages of four beg in the streets, you will marvel in pain, pity and anger. I wonder what goes on in their parents head.

This almajiri nonsense should be banned, these kids are being brutalized and exposed to so many dangers including starvation.

your head oooo,make dem no cut am for saying truth!!!

angeltolly:

The terrorist in white house is finally gone



Hail Trump ...Hail Victory

truth,Obama messed up
muslims are known for war every were..
American is a Gods own country and never islamic nation

DIKEnaWAR:
Bomb the hell outta them!

In light of the terrorist attacks over the years and the one that just occurred at the University of Maiduguri, I urge ALL well meaning Muslims to begin looking into bringing about the reformation of Islam as a religion. Here are some suggestions that I have. Please, do not see any of these suggestions as an attack on Islam. This is just my own effort at trying to look for solutions for a problem that has tarnished the image of Muslims not only in Nigeria but all over the world. So a few suggestions are:
1. Eliminate Madrasas. These schools have served as a breeding ground to brainwash children. Some of these brainwashed children can then grow up to be terrorists. Muslim children should be sent to normal schools were they learn English, Arithmetic, reasoning and logic. This will equip them to think critically as adults not only about religion but also about politics and world events.
2. Declare some parts of the Quran and Hadith as haram: Some parts of the scriptures are just plainly wrong. For example, the command to kill those who do not believe in Islam. Christians used to have a similar problem with the Old Testament and they were able to solve it by placing their attention on the New Testament. If something similar can be done in Islam it will go a long way to help address this issue of radicalization.
