You told us: This is what HMD needs to fix most with Nokia smartphones
June 06, 2025
TheNokiabrand has changed hands a few times in recent history, but HMD Global has been at the helm for the last half-decade. In that time, we’ve seen the brand hit highs and lows. TheNokia 9 PureView, for instance, was probably the company’s most anticipated device before it launched in early 2019 but has become the center of controversy for the firm this month. HMD confirmed the phone would not beupgraded to Android 11as initially planned.
This also made us wonder what our readers think HMD needs to improve Nokia devices. To this end, we published anew pollasking for our audience’s opinion. The results are now in.

What does HMD need to address most with its Nokia smartphones?
Nearly 6,700 readers voted on this poll after it dropped on December 3. Five options were available, but one stood out head and shoulders above the rest. More than a quarter (27.3%) of respondents believe “software updates” are HMD’s most significant issue with Nokia smartphones. As the most current issue, it makes sense that this tops the list of issues. But it was also initially one of HMD’s strong points.
Not too far behind, with 21.6% of the vote, is Nokia’s “lack of flagships.” Coming in third is “pricing,” with 18.4% of the support. “Design and build quality” and “camera quality/features” received a combined quarter of the vote (25.6%).
Surprisingly, many readers feel that HMD has more pressing concerns than those listed as fixed options. More than 7% of respondents effectively added their gripes in the comments. Peruse some of them below.
