I understand that the phone hardware should be actually compatible, but the AT&T network does not recognize it as such, based on the phone IMEI.

The low rating is due to the lack of HD voice available for the upcoming cell provider change to VoLTE(Feb 2022). This is disappointing.
















Aside from the completely unnecessary size, the front camera was designed by someone who I have to imagine is the opposite of a therapist. Every single detail on your face will be highlighted in the most precise detail you can ever imagine. There are pores on my face I had no idea existed until I made the unfortunate mistake of taking a single picture of myself. You have no idea how badly you need a dermatologist until you use this front facing camera. I don't even think the models in acne commercials use this camera and walk away with their self-confidence intact. I am 25 years old, and this phone showed me wrinkles I literally cannot see in a mirror. It's making me consider Botox. I have never looked worse, even in my old school pictures from the first grade, when I decided covering myself in crayon wax was the next trend. If I went missing and my family had to use photos of me taken with this phone to make posters, the general public would bring the authorities mottled remnants of the French war trenches. If you have any inclination to ever take a photo of a human being, for the love of God just find a different phone.
On the flip side, every photo of my cat is pristine. I can count every hair on her.

Android One - This phone features a pretty close to stock Android experience with what appears to be minimal customization. I was able to remove most of the canned google apps and disable the rest that I don't care for without impacting the functionality of the device.
The UI has the traditional row of navigation buttons hidden/removed, so you now have to use gestures to do things you once did by tapping buttons. It takes some time getting used to; particularly switching between apps. This can be a bit problematic when switching between OTP generator apps and your web browser or whatever app you're trying to enter a 2FA code into. On Android 10, you could sort of double-tap the app switch button to rapidly switch between your two most recently interacted-with apps. The swipe up and hold method is way clumsier (more an indictment against Android 11 than the handset itself; I am sure any handset with Android 11 will have this little encumbrance).
Nokia bundles three apps and you can disable them to clean up your launcher (none of them take up much space):
- FM Radio (The phone features a built-in FM tuner but you'll need a wired headset to act as an antenna) - I kept this since if LTE/Wi-Fi goes down, my next best way of getting news will be via FM radio.
- Wallpapers (could easily do without, but it has a couple nice wallpapers)
- My Phone (I disabled this one because it doesn't give me any value)
Phone Call quality - I have no complaints here. Calls have been clear with no garbling or sounding like someone is talking under water.
LTE - The 8.3 delivers a solid experience over LTE. I don't have 5G coverage yet, so I can't vouch for it. I also have a reduced-rate unlimited data plan with a 3Mb cap because I'm a bit of a cheapskate and don't feel like paying more for faster LTE since the majority of my bandwidth consumption occurs over Wi-Fi anyway.
Wi-Fi - Compared to my old handset, a OnePlus 6T, the 5GHz wi-fi reception is unacceptably poor. It doesn't stay connected at the far-end of my access point's reach, forcing me to bounce over to 2.4GHz. Fortunately, I don't do much bandwidth-intensive stuff on my cell phone. Having more than 3-10Mbps is a bit overkill in my opinion anyway. Video? You won't see much difference in detail going from 720p to 1080p. Forget 4k; it's impractical on anything with less than 40 inches of screen. Gaming? Online gaming is more latency-sensitive than bandwidth-sensitive, so you'll get better bang for your buck by using 5GHz and sitting closer to your AP. Web? Okay, some websites can be a bit piggish when it comes to multimedia elements, but a truly mobile-optimized website will take latency and the spotty nature of mobile connectivity into consideration and not try to render so much multimedia in any given page.
Bluetooth - I mainly use Bluetooth for audio and the connection quality is quite stable with my wireless speakers and true wireless headphones. I haven't had any cases of excessive compression artifacts or distortion either.
Camera - 48MP is gimmicky and well past the point of diminishing returns, in my opinion. The more pixels a sensor has, the more noise-sensitive a camera becomes. So far, it appears to take pretty decent pictures. The true test in my book is how well a camera can snap a pic at the right time. A phone needs to be able to quickly measure light conditions and distance to subject so the moment you are trying to capture doesn't end up being just a memory. So far, the camera is performing well.
Summary:
This is one of the "okayest" phones money can buy. At the $699 retail price advertised by the brick and mortar and other online outfits, there are better options to choose from. If you can snag it on sale at a decent discount and you know you will never end up on Verizon Wireless, it's a good compromise offering "Champagne performance on a beer budget".
The major sticking points are a) bad Wi-Fi reception on 5GHz and b) who's idea was it to make a dual-SIM phone and not support Verizon/CDMA LTE carriers?
Dual-SIM - After the December incident with AT&T in Nashville, I realized I needed to carry a backup SIM on Verizon so I could weather being down one carrier or the other. 2020 brought us a tornado to the downtown Nashville area, followed by a COVID shutdown, then a nice Christmas surprise. One thing you can count on is something taking out critical infrastructure and I was glad my 6T supported both carriers' technology. This phone, not so much. And no, I can't use T-Mobile where I am at because I don't get a usable signal unless I go outside (same with Sprint, though they're now one and the same).
