What Is The Difference Betweeen A Nokia Phone Made In China From Those Made In Finland.?
Nokia have three manufacturing plants worldwide. Two in the west (Finland and Poland) and one in China. Nokias new models are first made in China and then distributed in the far east at least 6 months before they are released in the west. This gives them time to iron out any software glitches etc before being made in Finland/Poland for western distribution. Some western distributors do import from the far east in an attempt to hook new customers with handsets no one else can get, unfortunately most of them are recalled, however they have your signature on contract by then and replace the eastern ones when they are made in Finland/Poland.
Quality. The Finland made phones are their top line phones. They contract the cheep ones to China. That is why their $15 (American – in the EU) paper throw away phone is made in China.
Not much, other than it being far cheaper for companies to have their products manufactured in China. Cheap labour and mass production.
