Only 2 OS updates and 3 years of security updates is too little for a phone marketed as repairable.

Fuck repairable. My Nokia 6 had a broken USB-Port but because it had a small tear in the display glass it couldn't be repaired. Anyone glueing on the display and leaving that as the only possible way to open the phone does not have a repairable product.

Ex had the Nokia 5. Had the USB port fixed under warranty, it went bad again in a month or two. Told her to recite the consumer protection law when she went back again, as here in Estonia you can demand your money back if you get the same issue again after a warranty repair (the Telia customer service agent of course had been taught to tell her that this is only true after 3 failed repairs, but that's not true).

I really wanted to like the new Nokia lineup. For sure it had a nice clean version of Android. They're not made in Finland, but at least the profit goes just over the bay rather than to some far-away corporation. But I'm not sure if I could trust them at this point.

I went from a OnePlus 7 Pro to iPhones, and if Apple pisses me off enough, it's Pixel and GrapheneOS for me because everyone seems to want to fuck up their OS experience instead of offering something closer to AOSP. Unless someone is going to tell me that Sony phones are good again or something.
