It just randomly bricked itself for no reason and went into a boot loop.
No way to connect to it via USB.
I am making the last desperate attempt of draining its battery, but I am not optimistic about it.
This exact same thing happened to my mother's phone of the same brand - Nokia - slightly different model, so I am thinking there is a pattern and I should get a different phone rather than getting it fixed.
It's still under warranty, so there won't be any monetary loss, just a lot of annoyance.
My phone is warped. I sat on it multiple times when taking a break from cooking at clubhouse, and the lower half, where the keyboard is, is ever so slightly bent to where autocorrect is kaput.
I am buying a OnePlus Nord N30 with time. Looking forward.

We went entirely the wrong direction with phones. The whole idea behind the smartphone was to make the phone more like your PC. Then we started moving in the opposite direction, trying to make PCs more like phones. Then we started removing all ports and fixability from phones (and then, as is the theme, following suit with computers.) It's infuriating. Frankly I'm team "phones should have full-size USB-A ports" so having no options in this situation is frustrating. I'm sorry.
Ah, technology, making our lives easier!
