Nokia HMD Global Phones are unreliable!!

I bought a Nokia 8 in 2018 April, From the box, from the first time charging i noticed that when i plug in the charger provided by Nokia themselves some apps stops working and phone's response is extremely slow. So i did contact Nokia Support but i was told to take to their repair center. I did not do that because of being busy at work and the fact that i wasn't guaranteed a loan device. I decided to continue using the device as it was only misbehaving when charging ONLY. Fast forward 1.8 years later the navigation bar and fingerprint sensor starts malfunctioning(sometimes it works n sometimes it does not respond at all), many nokia users are complaining about this issue on NOKIA online forums.

So fortunately the phone had 1 year manufacture warranty + 1 year Vodacom warranty so i took it to Vodacom's repair center(it's currently in the hands of the repair technicians). I have since bought a new phone... obviously not Nokia. I am dissappointed with the device and i did a lot of research n found that Nokia devices have 6 months - 1 year manufacturer warranty in contrast to other devices like Huawei/Samsung/Hisense etc. which offer 2 years warranty( this is an affirmation from the producer of the devices that they have faith in the products unlike Nokia/Xiaomi etc.)

Lastly ever since i started using the device i noticed that whenever i place it on the car phone holder(mine is very close to the car's audio system) the bluetooth malfunctions it breaks a lot, for example if i play a song from phone to car's radio system it would song like a scratched CD. Initially i thought maybe it's car's radio system so i came up with alternative... i used to use aux cable instead of bluetooth. Fast forward... now that i have booked in the phone for reparis i started using my son's Hisense phone put it on the same phone holder position and music plays seemless via bluetooth NO multiple cuts!!! Then i bought a new phone and music plays seemless via bluetooth NO multiple cuts!!! I wouldn't recommend Nokia Device to anyone.
