The Nokia devices aren't heavier than others, but they are dense. They are often more compact, yet weigh a lot for the surface area they have. They feel solid in the hand. That is why bigger phones that weigh the same or more feel subjectively lighter, because you are holding something bigger in the hand that weighs the same, so the smaller object feels heavier.

It is just the human mind playing tricks on you, the same as optical illusions.
