We had a repetitive problem with a Nokia phone for my mother. Every time I tried to call it appeared to be turned off. It would be charged and in her purse or pocket or bedside in case her power went out or if in the yard or enroute to local store, I could always keep in touch. Horrible phone never worked and had to adjust SIM card. This was no a phone carried around by a kid, jostled around or anything. Just defective. I got it from PureTalk and repetitively had to call them and I've had cell phones, flip phone, giant phones from the very beginning of cellular service, never had this issue! So they never suggested a replacement, while it was under warranty from them, and got beyond it and tried to contact Nokia. You get a very loud message from person in India over and over to hold until after 5 or 10 minutes got hung up on. Sent email have not heard back. Worst phone ever. Defective. Never buy Nokia.

This phone has given me nothing but problems. I regret buying it. I would not suggest Nokia for phone's. Awful phones. I have had issues with it since the day I purchased it. Always ends up on silence, won't take screenshots well, messes up every single thing you try to use it for.

I just talk and text only so I bought a Nokia 225 4g (a current model) for $50 (list price) on Amazon. 10 months into the 12 month warranty the Volte stopped working so I contacted Nokia. Their customer support's solution was for me to send them my phone, meaning I would be without a phone for weeks (maybe months?). I said "really? A giant company like Nokia won't replace a $50 phone that's under warranty?" Then they told me to contact the seller for replacement. Wow! With nothing to lose, I called Amazon. After I told the Amazon rep what Nokia said he refunded the purchase 10 months after I bought it (and told me to keep the phone!) so I could buy a new phone. I could buy another Nokia 225 4g and consider it a free replacement.....Nah, not after they way they treated me. My new phone will be bought on Amazon for sure, but it won't be a Nokia!

My Nokia smartphone is easy to use and imperious to breaking. It was moderately priced, below $100.00 new, and does everything that an iPhone does, except cost me a bundle. I added a silicon wrap around case, which protects the full body of the phone and adds a soft protective ridge above the screen. So far it has kept the phone on like new condition. If I either lose or destroy the phone, unlike the iPhone, I can easily afford to replace it. The Nokia runs the latest Android and surges the web quickly wherever I travel with it. It has a great camera and plenty of memory.

Nokia 6.1 has been trouble free for the last two years since purchase. Metal case makes for a sturdier phone, in my opinion. Enough storage, bells and whistles. At around a two hundred price point, it gives the rest of the phone selections on the market, a run for their money. Don't know why anyone would consider paying a $1000 for a phone.

Phone was in warranty period...the charger port failed after only 8 short months. After over 2 weeks of waiting (and only after contacting them to get an update on status), the phone came back unrepaired. You can see dozens of reviews on Amazon where others had this issue with the phone... It is a design defect. I have never had a phone last such a short period of time. Highly disappointed with Nokia; not a company that is going to stand behind you, and not a company that cares about its customers. There is a reason why they have such a small share of the cellphone market. They are the worst!

Mine is a Nokia 7.1 which I bought recently. After few months I got a issue with screen bleeding after that the charging port stops working. As my phone was under warranty I gone to Nokia's service center. They asked me to wait for 10 days to get replaced. Now it's been one month still when I call them they providing me useless information like the product which needs to be replaced is not in India, the company needs to deliver it from abroad... Shame on the brand Nokia, a real waste. Read all review before going to buy Nokia.

I bought a Nokia 7.1 then a couple months later the charging port stopped working. I did have a slight crack in the screen that had nothing to do with that. I sent a request in and never got a mailing slip. I called and some man asked if I had another e-mail so we got it sent there. He told me to check the original e-mail that I could not get the mailing slip to check on the status. My first thought was if they couldn't get the mailing label to that will they still be able to keep me updated? I sent the phone in and never got an update so in about a month I called and they said it was sent back the day before coincidentally. He said they sent it back noting refusal to respond. I told him what happened with my original e-mail and told him I would send it back when I got the phone back.
I asked him what they said, he said they had to replace the charging port and screen. I told him I only wanted the charging port replaced. He said they HAVE to replace the screen also. He said it was either like 75 or 85 dollars. I said, "Ok I will send it back when I get it" and told him to use the OTHER e-mail. I got the phone with a letter that said this EXACTLY. "Following the receipt of your mobile phone at our service center we carried out a thorough inspection and have determined the fault to be a result of physical and/or liquid damage. Such damage is not covered under the Manufacturer's Limited Warranty."
The next paragraph basically told me that the damage was more than the phone was worth. Like the funny thing is I ordered a charging port and took my phone apart with a kit and guess what?? It worked fine!! However, I messed the back up because I was a little impatient so I took some glue and tape to make the back harder and accidentally glued the sim card tray shut. I just turned it on as I am writing this and I can still use it like a computer anyways. So they DO NOT honor their warranty because Nokia knows they're going downhill as this was supposed to be their last comeback to try and get closer to the top but they failed miserably. I was hoping to be one of those few people that had a Nokia Smartphone so I could show it off. I now KNOW why I was one of the few people that had one. They saved a couple bucks to sacrifice more down the road. Like I guess lousy people produce lousy products.

I bought 2 NOKIA phones (NOKIA 5.0 and NOKIA 6.1) in April 2020. On switching them on, I discovered that the phones were unusually hot. After two weeks, they all packed up and I took them to the NOKIA Care Center. At the Center, they said that they are having battery problems and that more than 20 of such models are there with the same problem and they do not have any battery. The phones have been there at the NOKIA Care Center for about a month now. I contacted the NOKIA office directly and they responded that I should wait. NOKIA is now a garbage center.

Bought a Nokia 7.1 last April after a good experience with their 6.1 (gave it to my wife). Last month, I started having charging issues so I contacted Nokia. First - they tell me that the phone isn't in warranty. I send them the receipt to prove that it is. They they send me a label to mail the phone back... not overnight but FedEx. Takes 2 days to get to them - then another 2 business days before I hear back. It's then another 2 business days before I hear that the phone is being returned (no indication that it's fixed or what was done to it). And this return is taking another 2 days. So a total of 10 business days (so far) without a phone that is covered under warranty. Loved my Nokia phone but with service quality like this... never again.

I Have a Nokia 8 phone, and since I bought it, I had only problems with it. First the network was resetting and the phone not working. Spent a lot of time chatting to support, about a week, during which they made me test the device in dozens of ways, and factory reset it a couple of times. All that on my own time. Second, the display went half dead. The same thing with the support, then back to service. Third, after almost two months it was in service, they send me the phone with the main button sunk in. Tons of messages and chatting, then it's back to service with it (where it is at this moment). All in all, worst phone I've ever had. I spent so much time without it, that if I knew from the beginning, I would definitely bought something else. So, my advice: do NOT buy Nokia.

Bakwas phone. It's temporary cell phone for kids. Not for smart use. Charging issues, network issues and many problems. I loss my 20000 ₹ rs on this cheap product. Don't buy. It's not eligible in range of any other smart phone. Close the product and sell the company to somebody. You can't give us what we want. Very poor service centers with bad service staff. I am from Nagpur Maharashtra India. When I repair my phone from service center with issues of charging they were charge me for water damage. And after some days facing same problem I took my phone to same service center but they were told the part of charging is duplicate. I never bought this product. I am destroying Nokia my 7.1.

I bought my phone in September 2018 and after 6 months its earpiece not sounds properly. I went to the service centre and they only clean it and earpiece start working normally. But after 15 days again same problem is faced, I again went to the service centre. Now they said that, "I have not facing any problem. Your earpiece working good." and they did not take my complaint. So I had not any choice and I would not go again for this issue. But after 3 months suddenly my phone's right bottom corner got blot and now I went to the service centre and they start saying that, "You physically damaged your phone and we will not fix it." I mailed support and they said me to went and, "take job sheet so that your warranty wouldn't be passed out." So I did the same. But when my warranty passed out then service centre man called me that, “If you wouldn't take your phone back I will have to send it to the company by tomorrow.”
Before that support man only saying that, "We send your concern to relevant officer. Please be patient." When I went and get my phone back without repair then after a day the support man mailed me and start saying that, "Your job sheet is cancelled and you physically damaged it, also you have not warranty so we could not help you." You have to pay for fixing the phone. They all continuously sending same mail to me. Still I am trying. This is horrible, I suggest not to buy Nokia phones. They have worst support team and they are making cheap mobile. I am here also share you to crowd at service centre, about 40 persons only in one service centre, and there is MI service centre is in the same offiCE and there is hardly 2 to 3 complaint in a day.

The Nokia's earpiece speaker stopped working properly after a few weeks from 1st use. After a lot of to and from emails and new software and a factory reset, it was decided to send the phone for repairs. A replacement phone return to me after a few weeks. Two weeks later and the new Nokia has the same problem. Earpiece fade to almost no sound. Again Nokia customer service started the useless exercise of software and a factory reset, to only rectify nothing. I was then told, since I am not in the country of purchase, I have no warranty claim. Thus issue is not an isolated case.... Therefore my review on the "new Nokia" is: a Low quality product with even worse support.

I bought Nokia 8.1 on 26th Jan 2019 from Meher's Mobile, Kiit Road Bhubaneswar, India. IMEI No 1: 356964090251577 & IMEI No 2 : 356964090531572. I had liking of "Nokia" as my 1st phone was Nokia much before it lost its market share significantly. Though I had a choice of other proven brand but I purchased my favourite Brand Nokia. But for me it has become a compromising purchase. Top left corner of Mobile set is "bent", camera is "very ordinary". Other features I will come to know gradually. Now I am not very hopeful of getting its performance more than ordinary. I am sorry to say Nokia Brand has gone down. I will expect a reply.

I bought my phone on 27th September. I started facing a charging issue within a month of using it. The charging porting is loose and I had to bend the cord at an angle to charge it. It got worse and subsequently I submitted my phone for servicing at Nokia Care, Tilak Nagar Centre, New Delhi. They ensured me that it would take a maximum of 7 days to repair my phone (this was a manufacturer defect). I saw several others at the centre with same/similar problems in their Nokia devices, who lamented about pathetic build quality of the phones.
Well, fast forward 18 days and I am still to receive my device. I have called them hundred of times, reported on customer support, escalated the matter, reported on Facebook, Twitter, but I don't get satisfactory replies. The service centre people are rude as hell. And they keep saying that the part is not available at this moment. The same with customer support, who says that you just talk to service centre. I am going to file a police complaint now. There is no other option it seems.

I wanted to exchange my Samsung J7 Prime which has been with me about 2 years. First mistake of the day. Recently we went to your New POORVIKA SHOWROOM opened IN TTK Road, Alwarpet Chennai. Tamil Nadu. Walked in to exchange and buy a MI Note 5 Pro AND while doing so there were absolutely no customers in the showroom by 7.30 pm on 1/11/2018.
3 sales promoters surrounded and tried to help as we were discussing about exchange and payment mode. Few more customers walked in and all three left us in lurch and a new guy (Mr. Kiran **) came to attend us and tried to dissuade us buying MI and promoted Nokia 6.10 (must be Nokia promoter in the showroom). Infact I even asked him if he was a sales promoter for Nokia for which he denied.
Second mistake for the day has been committed by us. He explained us about the product in detail and its superior, quality and services than other brands and explained us about the camera features, like, pic in pic and Video in video so on and we were impressed and decided to go for it. for 16500. He agreed to help us in transfer of data from old to new Phone as it was a exchange.
Third Mistake of the DAY, MY daughter joined us after work by 9.30 PM and they sold her a Samsung - Wireless Head Set for 2499. By the time we did all the transfer of data it was around 11.45, we reached home by 1 am. and had very late dinner and charged the phone in switched off mode for the first time for 100% as suggested and advised by the salesman. Next day to my surprise (second day) the phone was discharged in 3.50 hrs and again I charged it full 100% which lasted only about 4 hrs and then complained to the POORVIKA showroom.
They asked me to update all software patches and then see a full movie without wifi and then check the duration of the battery. Same thing was done and still found the same problem. So went to Poorvika for 3rd time and they said, new software 9.10 has been released on 3/11/2018 AND asked me to update and then check for improved battery life and better features. And asked me to observe again for a day OR ELSE WE CAN VISIT THE Rocky Agency Authorised Services agency of NOKIA in PETERS Road, Gopalapuram.
On the same day I went to NOKIA showroom in Peters Road around 6.45 PM and was denied an entry by them as they were closed by 6.30 PM. They said they had customers waiting inside already and by the time they finish it might take 8.30 pm and hence not taking/allowing any new Customers. I wonder what kind of strict customer services policy and how many customers had problems with their NOKIA Phones? The same was conveyed to POORVIKA Salesman and he asked us to go to Velachery Services centre on Monday.
Today (05/11/2018) I visited The Rocky Agency at 10 AM, the watchman refused parking for customers and hence had to look out for parking outside. After parking I came inside the service center and until 10.15 AM no staff had come to office and after checking with the assistant who was cleaning said anytime the staff would come. When they close the office before the customer visiting time, I think they need to start the office on time. I narrated my problem to the service technician. Insufficient battery life as 3 to 4 hours was not accepted by any standard, And there was a display in the mobile saying, Battery overheated. Stop charging from 100% till it reaches almost 50% even when you are not charging? Please note the mobile was not in the charging mode but still we had this message on the display.
They said this was basically a HARDWARE and Manufacturing parts malfunction and They said it need to be given to them and they will flash and check for hardware or software and they agreed and said the latest update 9.10 is not available or reached them and hence they well load only with earlier version and if given back I need to upgrade again only on Wi-Fi not on Mobile data, which I am well aware and told them.
The service technician said that I have to take a backup of my data and come and hand over the phone to them to check the problem. So I went to Poorvika again and they tried to take a back of my data from Nokia 6.1. They could not take a back up nor transfer the data to another phone. After 3-4 hrs they were able to share certain photos and contacts only. I had to forgo all my details, chats and message for the mistake I made of buying the Nokia 6.1. Again I went to The Rocky Agency and told them the new problem which arised then. One problem or the other was arising on the New Brand Phone.
The Branch Manager Mr. ** did not bother to come and address the customer initially. Later he came out and said he will look into the same and rectify the issue. How do you expect a customer to take back a faulty brand new mobile which we have not even used for FULL five minutes. I am refusing to take the same mobile even though you might have rectified the issue. I request you to kindly arrange for DAP for which Mr. ** refused and said it is only five days old. But I am aware that the company policy is to change the faulty product within 14 days if fault found and accepted by the service technician.
Evening went back to The Rocky Agency to find the status of my mobile and they said they had handed my mobile to the showroom salesman after installing the old software itself. We went back to POORVIKA AND THE BRANCH MANAGER SAID IT has been asked to return to Nokia showroom as the problem is still yet to be solved as per customer's complaint. The Rocky Agency and Poorvika wanted to analyse the product efficiency and then handover the same. It seems. Mr. ** confirmed that he spoke to the Manager (at 9.00 p.m) and they have confirmed that the Mobile is with Poorvika only. But I have been misled saying that the phone is with Rocky Agency. Can the same be clarified. Why was I been cheated? Please let me know as a customer I been played between the Manufacturer and Reseller at whose cost, me customer @ cost?
Customers be aware of NOKIA AND SUCH resellers like POORVIKA who takes customers for a raid and suck our hard earned money and make millions. I was about to buy a NOKIA sirocco which was Rs.47000 and the cost went down to Rs.36500.00 and lucky me I was not such a sucker and now after what I have gone through even if it was offered at NOKIA 6.10 Price of Rs.16500.00 I will/would think twice before buying Nokia Phone. NEVER BUY A NOKIA PRODUCT AND SUFFER LIKE ME?

I got an issue with my brand new N6 - the display doesn't function in a low temperature, under 5C. Contacting Nokia support, I wasted 1.5h of my life for no solution provided. What I got: N6 phones are not operational in cold weather (close to 0 C). There is no Nokia Care centers in Canada or Central America. If your phone is not working properly, you can just throw it away. Support representatives are admitting they have no solutions. I've been literally told to do whatever I want with my cell phone. Useless cellphone, useless Customer Support.
