Nokia 8
Hands-on article by Umit Yilmaz Gunes
Mixed feelings all over the table… I remember the days when I had my Nokia 3210. I got it stolen, but it was fun to have one of those babies. Then the era of WAP has arrived and I experienced more colorful Nokia devices, such as the 6610 or the 7210 and the list goes on. But time has changed, competition forced Nokia to be almost out of market and now they are trying to be back with different models. Nokia 8 can be considered as finishing the manufacturer’s early attempts to provide a flagship device. It may be called a flagship device, but compared to top level devices such as the Apple iPhone 8 or even the Samsung Galaxy S8, it is not that of a premium device, maybe a premiumish? We don't get to see something unique, well maybe except the feature where while taking selfies you can use both front and rear camera at the same time. Because you are behind the rear camera? I don’t know how useful this feature could be, but pretty sure there will be fans out there. The smartphone features a 5.3 inch screen with a resolution of 2.560 x 1.440 pixels, 4 GB of RAM, and a 3.090 mAh battery. Sorry but nothing interesting. It comes with IP54 certification, i.e. it is only splash resistant so to speak. Rumors are out about the Nokia 9 and Nokia 10 models coming up already. This makes me think that the Nokia 8 was a preparation for a bigger / better flagship. Because the way I see it, the Nokia 8 is almost an unfinished job. Cameras for example: Marketing campaigns claim that Nokia partnered with Zeiss, a famous lens manufacturer. The result? Something you can find in every flagship smartphone. Therefore I am quite in the middle about this device. Should I give it a go? Or should I just simple walk away? In the early days when the device was first released, the price tag was around 700 $, now it has gone down to about 550 $. Is it an option with the new price tag? I'd say maybe, because in my opinion the Nokia 8, compared to real competition, is not in the A game, maybe in the B league of flagship phones, where the competition is very fierce. In this league, what matters is, what you provide and how cheap you can provide it and to be honest, Nokia is a bit behind in this. Maybe it is better to wait for the Nokia 9 and 10 and see if Nokia has learnt from the Nokia 8 experience.Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam
With the iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on the horizon, Nokia tries to make a comeback in the flagship segment after a long hiatus with the Nokia 8. So what has Nokia to offer in comparison to its competitors? Running down the spec list the Nokia 8 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, which in all honesty isn’t that impressive since most of the other flagships have about similar specs. But don’t let that be a downer. One notable feature of the Nokia when compared to its other siblings is its QHD IPS display, which is unusually small for its resolution but remains quite sharp and vibrant. Nokia states that the display is able to achieve up to 700 nits, which is quite bright. However, it cannot be compared to the AMOLED display of the Galaxy 8, which is said to achieve a jaw dropping 1000 nits of brightness. While brightness is important it should be noted that it can hurt the eyes if not set accordingly and used in a prolonged session. Nokia has decided to include a barebones stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat experience, which is a bonus since most manufacturers seem to like to cram as many features into their flagship. As they says simple is always best so Nokia gets credit where it is due. While the Nokia 8 is marketed as a flagship smartphone, users shouldn’t be hard pressed to find that by default the Nokia 8 only has 64 GB of storage. While Apple may have offerings of 128 or even 256 GB, users should find that the Nokia 8 supports microSD cards for expanding the storage capacity. The included camera consists of a dual camera setup, which is beginning to be the common requirement of most flagships. It features a standard 13 MP RGB sensor and another 13 MP monochrome sensor, which allows for a much crisper image. One unique feature of the Nokia 8 is called the “bothie” functionality, whereby both the front and rear camera can be used simultaneously. While Samsung and other manufacturers may have had those features a few years back, it does not come close since the Nokia 8 is able to record in 4K while doing so, which can be taxing on the device. Another feature highlight which works alongside the camera is the Nokia OZO spatial feature. It allows the user to focus the sound before recording a video. This can be ideal when used in situations like a concert or even an interview. As for battery life, the Nokia 8 is somewhat above average with a battery capacity of 3090 mAh. The device should last a full day under normla use. Naturally, should users find the capacity to be insufficient, the Nokia 8 also supports Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 3.0. Overall verdict of the Nokia 8 still remains to be seen. However, if Nokia wishes to re-capture a market once lost, they would have to be really innovative, since the Android market is overcrowded and competition is tough with more options coming out of China.Specifications

Three lenses. With the Nokia 8, HMD Global now also revives the legendary Finnish brand in the premium range. At a fair price of around 580 Euros (~$682; $565 in some US online retailers), the buyer gets a well-built and well-configured 5.3-inch handset whose dual-camera can score with a never before seen feature.

Above all, it proves that HMD Global is on the right track as the Nokia 8 is a commendable effort on its part for the brand’s return to the flagship market. It leaves us with the hope that the company will be able to deliver better flagships that hold their own against rivals in the coming years.

Nokia 8 is an easy to carry smartphone along with the decent features and specifications available in the high price value. The market has already so many smartphones with these features but in less price value. So, if you love Nokia so much then you must go for it otherwise except Bothie feature and QHD display it is offering nothing new.

Overall though I was impressed with the Nokia 8. It costs around £500 SIM free in the UK. You have a chance to get a stunning looking device that packs a lot of punch. However, you may find it hard to compete with devices such as OnePlus with their 5T considering the better camera, dual SIM, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage for the same price.

Living with the Nokia 8 day in, day out is generally a good experience. Overall this is a good first effort for a flagship Android device. Let's not forget that despite Nokia's long history in mobile, that's exactly what it is - the first ever Nokia-branded top of the line model running Google's OS. The Nokia 8 has a good build, is easy to handle, and it feels quite premium with its metal unibody fit and finish.

The Nokia 8 offers a lot of great features such as a powerful chipset, dual-sensor camera and a perfectly sized QHD display, but compared to a lot of the competition right now it struggles to offer anything unique. With a super-high price point, the Nokia 8 is a good phone but far from a great one.

Nokia 8 is a stellar device from HMD Global and it almost checks all the right boxes for the first Nokia-branded flagship. HMD should be proud of what they made created in terms of build quality and software update cycle for an Android-based device. But the 'almost' part is problematic as the areas with issues are massive.

If you can bag a bargain and get it between $500-600, then it’s a different story with competition more from OPPO, Samsung Galaxy A5/7, Moto G, Alcatel 4/5 and LG G6. Here it will likely outperform all.

With top-end processing components, a 5.3-inch QHD IPS display, and an IP54-rated aluminum uni-body, the Nokia 8 is a high-end device inside and out, but the performance of its camera module lags behind our (admittedly high) expectations. The Nokia is capable of producing decent still images, but in many situations, it cannot match the image quality of the cameras in current high-end phones from most competitors.

The Nokia 8 is a flagship spec phone at mid-range price, and while it offers pure Android that's fast to update, the phone experience doesn't really raise itself above the average. It's a nice pure Android handset and you get a lot for your money, but it's not the best flagship experience out there.

Having had a hands-on already, I didn't have high expectations from the Nokia 8, but it was a nice surprise. The proposition was interesting at £499, but looks quite compelling at £399. I'd like to see more originality from the company, but as a first flagship it's a promising start.

Despite the Nokia 8’s issues with its camera, its still a perfectly decent flagship for people not keen on dropping more than 30K for a new flagship. Its small size makes it extremely handy and easy to use one-handed, and it’s more than a match for most of the newer flagships today.

The only question that remains is whether, in 2017, there’s much appetite in the market for another high-end handset. It’s a long time since the Nokia brand alone was enough to sell phones. Even so, the Nokia 8 is, on its own merits, a worthy rival to the established giants of the market. It might not fully re-establish the prestige of the Nokia of old, but it’s a big, confident stride in the right direction.

Nokia 8 comes with a price tag of Rs 35,999 and it offers all the high-end features and specifications that a flagship should have. It has the latest processor, dual camera setup, fast charging and an impressive metal body design. It also performs well and is a value-f or- money smartphone. If you are willing to spend above Rs 35,000 then you can definitely consider buying a Nokia 8. Those looking for alternatives can go for the OnePlus 5 which is also available at a similar price tag.

Nokia made its name selling no-nonsense phones that were built to last, and while the ownership of the mobile brand might have changed hands, the Nokia 8 is a smartphone that would have been a worthy addition to the lineup of the Finnish company even in its heyday. It offers good build quality, a great display, excellent performance with stock Android, the promise of regular updates, first-class battery life, and good cameras with some neat tricks. On the flip-side, some might find the design boring, it isn’t fully waterproof like many competitors are, and the low-light camera performance could’ve been better.

The Nokia 8 is well made, although it lacks any design features that make it stand out from the crowd (unless you count the reflective copper finish on my review unit). It offers excellent battery life and a very good 5.3-inch screen. It's nice to see pure Android 7 on board, which should bode well for a fast upgrade to Android 8 (Oreo).

Nokia 8 has some positives, including the design and build quality, the display. The performance of the device is also fast, similar to other phones running this processor. But given the competition in this price range, Nokia 8 is not yet a flagship killer. In the camera department, I feel it has a long way to go before it can challenge either Apple or Samsung.

To put it simply. The Nokia 8 is not cutting-edge. Nor is it glamorous. But it is elegant, refined and solid. The smartphone looks classy, is very durable, is extremely fast, slick and fluid and has cameras that produce great images. All for a mouth-watering price tag of Rs 36,999.

You simply cannot go wrong.

While the Nokia 8 is definitely not the worst smartphone on the market right now, it is also nowhere near the best. It feels and acts like a first time phone and that just isn’t good enough. While I enjoyed taking a break from my iPhone and playing with the Nokia 8, I worry that that was more nostalgia based because the child in me WANTED it to be great. But truth? I cannot wait to switch on my iPhone again and put the Nokia back in the nostalgic part of my memories, where it belongs. Oh and I’m also about to start a campaign to #freethebothie because I need that dual live streaming back in my life. I’ve lived in a world with it and now I just don’t want to go back!

If you were one of the people who thought that when Nokia launches its first flagship Android smartphone, they would remind the world why they were the best all those years ago. That they would spank the likes of Samsung and Apple, then I’d hate to be the one to break it to you but the Nokia 8 is not that phone.

A safe return to the flagship smartphone market for Nokia, but it will need to do more with its next effort if the brand is to stand out among the elite like it once did.

There's a lot to like about the Nokia 8. Its design is sleek and refined, with a number of noteworthy specifications to ensure it is never underpowered or found wanting. Add to that a sub-R10k price tag, which is hard to find for a flagship phone these days, and the Nokia 8 is a great all-round device for the more cost savvy consumer out there.

Nokia, a brand once synonymous with mobile phones, made a comeback in January this year, courtesy HMD Global, the Finnish firm that develops and markets smartphones and feature phones under the “Nokia” brand name. Ever since the resurrection, it’s been a long wait for an Android smartphone that blended Nokia’s expertise in design and camera, and specifications that could take on the likes of flagships from Samsung and LG. After wooing the budget market with Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6, HMD Global launched the Nokia 8 in August, the most premium smartphone from the company so far.

In terms of specifications, the Nokia 8 is a powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, which powers nearly all other Android flagships of this generation. It comes with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and support for microSD cards of up to 256GB capacity. As expected, India gets the dual SIM variant of the smartphone (1 nano-SIM + 1 nano-SIM/ 1 microSD card). Stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for a detailed review of the Nokia 8.

The success of the Nokia 8 will come down to price, which currently sits at €599. If that translates to around £549, it’s immediately taking on the OnePlus 5, and I’m not entirely convinced that’s a battle the Nokia 8 can win.

HMD Global’s accomplished something pretty special with the Nokia 8. It’s a big statement from a company that’s not even a year old, that they intend to be a serious contender at the high end of the market just as much as the low. Here’s hoping that the followup to the Nokia 8 will hit it out of the park.

The Nokia 8 is a new chapter for the company’s re-entry into the premium smartphone segment. The device looks elegant and packs the fastest hardware available for this year. Although, the large bezels are going to be a problem for those who were expecting a great alternative for the Galaxy S8. That said, it’s good to see that Nokia’s first Android flagship is the world’s first to feature a dual-lens ZEISS camera. The new “Bothie” function is something we will have to wait and see if users are willing to use in the long run.

Overall, the Nokia 8 is a solid flagship device. Some smart hardware and a bit of vanilla Android marry together for a pleasing enough everyday user experience. And while the dual-lens camera isn’t the best out there, it’s perfectly good for capturing treasured memories (although a software update or two wouldn’t go amiss).

In a nutshell, the Nokia 8 offers flagship-tier hardware, along with a dual rear-camera system that's created in collaboration with Zeiss optics. It will also offer some subtle, but practical features, along with stock Android OS for the purists among us. Our hands-on deconstructs some of these points.

The Nokia 8 retails for €599, and while no UK pricing has yet been announced, current conversion rates put that at a minimum of £545. In practise, it's much more likely to be closer to £600, which puts it firmly in the same price bracket as the Pixel and around £150 more expensive than the OnePlus 5 - which matches its capabilities virtually identically.

For us, the Nokia 8 is the device we've been waiting for since the company announced its plans to get back into the game. The competition is fierce and the Nokia 8 doesn't offer a huge amount that's unique. The build quality and specification can be found elsewhere and there's almost nothing on the software front to make it unique - unlike phones from the dominant Samsung.

Sure, it might have a similar look, but the 8 feels a world apart from Nokia’s three other smartphones. The leap in build quality, hardware and general design is huge, and the dual camera tech shows plenty of promise.

We'll have to wait to properly test the Nokia in our full review to decide on whether it's a wise purchase over the S8 or OnePlus 5. A price closer to or below $600, £500 or AU$750 would really help sweeten the deal. There's no question, however, that splashing that top-end cash will snag you a top-end phone that's absolutely worth considering, particularly if you have any sort of nostalgia for the Nokia name.

For a killer feature, I’m not sure that the bothie mode is really anything that couldn’t be accomplished on any other device with the right app (*cough* gimmick *cough*), but having the feature so readily available means that more users will be likely to try it and it is a good way to showcase what the phone is really all about.

Le Nokia 8 est selon lecteurs un très bon smartphone. L’écran les a séduit, tout comme l’interface ou encore l’autonomie. Toutefois le haut de gamme de la marque a quelques petits défauts comme l’appareil photo qui pourrait être amélioré ou le design qui pourrait être plus proche des standards d’aujourd’hui. Comme l’explique très bien Sébastien (qui lui octroie la note de 4/5), « le Nokia 8 est un bel appareil, non exempt de petits défauts, mais qui ramène Nokia sur le marché des smartphones ». Le retour de Nokia est donc réussi et devra être confirmé en 2018.
Positive: Nice display; long battery life; decent cameras.

After many attempts of a revival, the Nokia brand is doing well once again. The Nokia 8 is its flagship Android model. With a successful start in the Android market, the company has expanded its product line this year. Its latest phone is the Nokia 8 Sirocco. Bringing back nostalgic elements from the Nokia 8800 Sirocco, this new model is meant to represent the same premium feel. The 2018 Nokia 8 model comes with a 5.5-inch P-OLED screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, bringing its pixel density to 534 ppi. However, unlike most 2018 flagships, the Nokia 8 Sirocco retains the 16:9 curved screen. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but for those who are looking for a large bezel-less screen in a small body, this might not be your first choice. The bezels are pretty small and look good enough, though. The curved screen also hides the side bezels well. The front and back is covered with Gorilla Glass 5 and there is a stainless steel frame for the rest of the body. Without a doubt, the build quality is as good as back in Nokia’s glorious days. In many ways, it looks like the Samsung Note 7. It is only available in black, which means there are no color dilemmas. The Nokia 8 Sirocco measures 140.9 x 73 mm and is just 7.5 mm thick.
The Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with the Snapdragon 835 processor, which is a surprise, mainly because it does not include the latest Snapdragon 845. It is paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory. The memory can be expanded by using a microSD card (up to 400 GB). The Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with stock Android 8.0. At the back is a dual camera setup with two 12-MP sensors (f/1.8, 1.4um and f/2.6, 1.0um). At the front is a 5-MP shooter capable of capturing videos in full HD. Following the steps of Apple and Google, Nokia has left out the 3.5mm audio jack. However, it does have a USB-3.1 Type-C port for data transfer and charging. The Sirocco is also IP67 certified, which means that its casing is quite durable. The device is not without its problems, though. It has been reported that its curved screen has very bad palm rejection and that the camera is not all that good for a 2018 flagship. The phone has a 3260-mAh battery and supports Quick Charge 4.0. Nevertheless, with its premium price and older processor, the Nokia 8 Sirocco might not be the first choice for most buyers.

A smartphone for fans of design? The Nokia 8 Sirocco has an unusual name and unusual looks. Can the high-end phone please the crowd or is mainly interesting for fans of design? Let us find out in our review.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco improves upon the manufacturer’s smartphone camera hardware, packing in a dual camera with tele-lens for optical zoom shots and a good PDAF autofocus system. Overall image quality is a step up from the predecessor Nokia 8, offering slightly more consistent results for exposure and color. Its performance and image quality is competent, if not exceptional, with the best photos captured in bright light, producing images with good exposure, color, and texture. Results in lower light are acceptable, but it’s not an ideal low-light shooter, with losses of texture and color saturation evident, especially in very low light. Overall, for a mid-range device, the Nokia 8 Sirocco does an OK job with both photos and video, but devices with better results are available at this price point.

The flagship Nokia is about design: it's slim, with curved glass edges to its 5.5in screen, and a clean Android One software experience. But it launches on dated hardware and which, along with some connectivity issues, spells issues. It's got merit, just not quite enough of it.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco has plenty of plus points: battery life is good, there's plenty of internal storage at 128GB, the Snapdragon 835 processor is competent, the dual rear cameras work well enough, an IP67 rating is welcome, and Android One makes for good future-proofing.

Still, if it falls down in price, the Sirocco will be a great option for those Android purists who like their interface fast and clean or their displays in a more traditional aspect ratio. Until then, the price tag may chase away many potential buyers, irregardless of the nostalgia whiff that Nokia's Sirocco models may send down their spines.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is a conundrum. On the good side, it is strangely compelling. On the other it has 5.5-inch 16:9 POLED display and last year’s Qualcomm 835 SoC.

Ultimately, it's hard to recommend a flagship with a flawed display and merely okay camera and battery life. This would be the voice of reason. We choose to listen to another voice though, and it insists that going a decade back in time is worth putting up with a few imperfections. Nostalgic types, we are.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is a premium flagship smartphone that looks the part. Despite HMD Global’s audacious addition of a dated processor, traditional display ratio, single SIM capability, and removal of the headphone jack, it costs just as much as a phone that includes all of these omissions. Yet, quizzically, everything is still likable about this phone.

At Rs 49,999, a lot of users might think the phone is pricey. I too think this would be a killer device around the price point of the OnePlus 5T. Anyway, given the design and the camera abilities, it will be that hard to impress some people to invest in the Nokia 8 Sirocco as their phone for the next few years.

HMD Global has priced the Nokia 8 Sirocco at Rs 54,999 in the Indian market. This puts the device in almost the same territory as the spectacular Google Pixel 2, and Galaxy S9. The upcoming flagship by OnePlus, the OnePlus 6 is likely to be cheaper than the Sirocco. Despite the capable camera, Android One support, interesting new design and great battery life, I can’t really recommend Nokia 8 Sirocco.

It’s stylish and sleek – even if slightly unconventional – and boasts of a lot of impressive features. HMD Global has made a product that will excite a lot of users and is certainly one of the better-looking devices around. The display is appealing and the battery performance is really impressive.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is currently HMD Global's flagship offering but that might not be for long. You see, this phone is a bit of an experiment, according to the company, which means we still haven't seen HMD Global's true flagship for 2018. This would most likely be called the Nokia 9, which according to the most recent leak, should have a pretty extravagant camera setup in order to take on the likes of Huawei P20 Pro.

After taking over Nokia, HMD’s efforts are obvious. From Nokia 6 to Nokia 6 2nd Generation, 3310 to 3310 4G and Nokia 7 to Nokia 7 plus… in just over a year, HMD has released more than ten new Smartphones, even some models have been completed iteratively. Among these products, there has also been explosion models, which isn’t easy for an old brand that has returned again.

By the time HMD Global launches the Nokia 8 Sirocco (May in India), there might be quite a lot of 2018 flagships powered by newer hardware, boasting of newer capabilities when it comes to entertainment, AI, security, and more. Still, it’s quite likely that people will be attracted to this phone as a statement piece. It looks great, feels good in the hand, and is still pretty high-end. It’s a worthy improvement over the Nokia 8, but of course we’ll reserve final judgment till we can review this phone in depth for ourselves, so stay tuned to Gadgets 360.

HMD Global is positioning the Nokia 8.1 as an upper midrange device. However, the company has priced the 8.1 at €400 (~$456), which puts it in the sights of last year's flagships. Read on to see what the Nokia 8.1 offers in the face of strong opposition.

Even if it took over 7 months for HMD Global to officially bring the Nokia 8.1 to the Philippines, their mid-range offering remains to be competitive against its rivals with its PureDisplay screen, Snapdragon 710 processor, and dual Zeiss cameras. While it has shortcomings with its ginormous notch and so-so gaming performance, that does not stop us from considering the Nokia 8.1 as a great follow-up to last year’s Nokia 7 Plus.

With our initial time with the phone, the Nokia 8.1 felt snappy and smooth, free of any lags even if we switch through various apps and games in between. We will be doing our usual barrage of tests that includes several games to see if the Nokia 8.1 lives up to expectations. Like all Nokia phones, the Nokia 8.1 comes with a stock, bloatware-free version of Android Pie. Being part of the Android One program, the Nokia 8.1 is guaranteed to receive Android Q and Android R in the future, along with three years of security updates.

Although released a little late in the Philippines, the Nokia 8.1 is a competent smartphone that has the guts to go up against other devices in the mid-range section. It has an impressive display, speedy CPU performance unmarred by lags, modest audio quality, Stock Android, and decent camera quality. Despite the fact that it has an outdated bar notch design, poor speaker location, a frustrating user interface, and seemingly artificial-looking selfies, it can be overlooked when you’ve got a solid performer in your hands.

If you’re after a mid range device that look like a high end phone without the price tag or after a BYO device, then the Nokia 8.1 could be a potential choice. Otherwise it might be worth looking at other Nokia devices such as the 7.1 or possibly even the Nokia 5.1 Plus for a slightly cheaper model.

There are some I can recommend the device to; obviously the Nokia fans out there, those who can’t easily access the aforementioned deals on other devices, those who can get a good price or discount, and just those who want a nice phone and may love the design regardless of the competition. However, I really must emphasise that there are perhaps better deals to be had; if I were in the market around the Nokia 8.1’s price range today I would undoubtedly buy a different device – probably a OnePlus flagship – and that’s sad. The Nokia 8.1 is a fantastic phone let down by an overreaching price tag which will sadly hold it back from the greatness it could so easily achieve were it more reasonably priced.

All that aside, this is an incredibly solid smartphone that delivers one of the best Android experiences you can get. The software is near identical to that on the Nokia 7.1, so those hunting for the least expensive way to get pure Android in a stylish package will likely still look there. But the 8.1 offers a bigger and nicer screen, much better performance and improved cameras for its extra $200, which is an attractive proposition.

The Nokia 8.1 has a lot going for it, but it's still an odd phone. The design is generally good - apart from its inability to stay on a shelf - and we like the camera experience. But it's a phone that feels too expensive compared to the rest of the market.

HMD Global, Nokia’s parent brand, has witnessed impressive growth within the highly competitive Android smartphone market since it was founded couple of years back, which is all thanks to its amazing mid-tier and budget offerings. Expanding, HMD Global recently added Nokia 8.1 to its diverse lineup. We got some hands-on time with the new phone at its global launch event in Dubai last month but after thoroughly testing it and using it as a daily driver, here is our in-depth review.

You may be disappointed that this isn’t a true follow-up to the original Nokia 8, but the Nokia 8.1 is trying to be something different and it succeeds at exactly that. It’s a top of the mid-range phone that we found to do everyday tasks surprisingly well if not particularly majestically.

At its price, the Nokia 8.1 faces competition from mid-range flagship smartphones like the Asus Zenfone 5Z or the Pocophone F1 with a Snapdragon 845 chipset and better RAM and storage combinations, but the performance delta isn’t much for most users to compromise on the Android One experience that only the former offers – all that packed in a stylish chassis. Most people want a great phone, not just a brilliant specifications sheet.

And if you are a stock Android enthusiast, well, we daresay there will be those who will be tempted by the Xiaomi Mi A2 (review), which has better cameras although the 8.1 comfortably outguns it in terms of design and battery life. In fact, truth be told, we are not too sure if the Nokia 8.1 itself is a massive step forward from the Nokia 7 Plus (review), which remains perhaps the best phone we have seen from Nokia in its new avatar. In fact, the 8.1 falls somewhere between the 8 and the 7 Plus, with some design refinements brought to the table – and its rivals number everyone from the Moto One Power to the Mi A2 to the Poco F1 to the Honor Play to…you get the idea.

We will be unboxing the new Nokia 8.1 and sharing our initial impressions on the new high-end Android One smartphone from HMD Global which was initially launched back in December. To understand the Nokia 8.1 it is important to first begin with the smartphone it is succeeding or replacing from HMD’s current lineup. In a bid to standardize the naming convention, HMD has decided that the new Nokia 8.1 is actually a successor to the Nokia 7.1 Plus and not the Nokia 8. From this, we can relate that the new smartphone is not the brand’s premiere flagship but a high-end smartphone that sits below the flagship line — which is to be announced soon. We have the device with us and here is our complete unboxing — you can also view our unboxing video on YouTube as well.

At Rs 26,999, Nokia 8.1 does not have a lot of competition. There’s Poco F1 with superior Snapdragon 845 processor but the Xiaomi phone has cut too many corners to keep the prices low. Nokia 8.1 looks good and delivers near excellent performance. If you don’t have a budget for OnePlus 6T and don’t want to settle with a budget phone, Nokia 8.1 is worth investing.

Nokia 8.1 is an impressive device by all accounts. The performance is smooth, the camera delivers pleasing photos in most scenarios, while the battery life should keep most users happy. There are very little flaws here, except that HMD Global has only introduced one variant with the base 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.

Nokia 8.1 is an impressive device by all accounts. The performance is smooth, the camera delivers pleasing photos in most scenarios, while the battery life should keep most users happy.

The Nokia 8 is no longer a flagship product and if you can digest that, you will be pleasantly surprised by how good this mid-ranged phone is. It has a good screen and camera, performs quite well and lasts you more than a day on a full charge. And it doesn't break the bank doing so.

This phone can be seen as an upgrade over the usual low-cost options in terms of its material and construction quality, style, display, and cameras – the latter in the daytime, at least. Some users might also be willing to pay a little more for the Nokia name. There is a lot to like about the Nokia 8.1, but most of the things that give it its appeal can also be found in phones that cost much less.

The Nokia 8.1 takes the elements that made the Nokia 7 Plus great, while offering much-needed upgrades as we head into 2019. The Snapdragon 710 ensures there's no shortage of power, the 3500mAh battery easily delivers over a day's worth of use, and the camera holds its own in this segment.

The Nokia 8.1 may bother consumers who feel that competition like the Poco F1 offers a flagship-level chipset for much lower. But the SD710 chipset handles real-world performance as smooth as a flagship phone, and you get the added benefit of a better design language as well. The Zeiss optics marginally improves low-light camera performance, but the cameras are largely impressive. To top it off, HMD has priced the Nokia 8.1 at an incredibly competitive price of Rs 26,999.

Nokia 8.3 5G
With the latest Nokia 8.3 5G, the company has announced its first big step into the world of 5G. While it is worth mentioning that the Nokia 8.3 5G is not the most exciting phone this year, it has strong specs and a large screen, so there is plenty here to appeal to those looking to upgrade to 5G with a handset that will not break the bank. In terms of its design, the Nokia 8.3 5G is similar to HMD Global’s Nokia handsets from previous years, including a metal central logo and Gorilla Glass on the rear of the phone. The phone also comes with a ‘refracted light’ design that gives it a unique look rather than just a solid colour. The phone comes in only one colour, called Polar Night, that carries shades of blue. The overall unique finish definitely gives the phone an eye-catching look.
As far as the display is concerned, this phone has been equipped with a 6.81-inch Full-HD+ screen with an aspect ratio of 20:9. This simply means that the screen is obviously taller than those on most handsets, giving the user a bigger screen without the phone feeling too large in the hand. While the Full-HD resolution does not promise a picture as sharp and detailed as seen on a QHD device, it is fine for day-to-day tasks and viewing. However, it is a bit of a shame that HMD Global stuck with a 60Hz display refresh rate on the Nokia 8.3 5G, when even some mid-range phones are getting smoother-looking displays of 90Hz or above these days. There is also a punch-hole for the selfie camera in the top-left corner of the display, but it is fairly unobtrusive.
In terms of its cameras, the rear camera array on the Nokia 8.3 5G includes a 64MP f/1.89 main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera with an aperture of f/2.2, a 2MP macro snapper, and a 2MP depth sensor. While this setup does not quite match the penta-lens array on the Nokia 9 PureView, all the cameras create shots that look good enough for sharing on social media, especially the main camera which produces rather sharp and colourful images. Auto mode is capable of capturing nice-looking daytime shots in good lighting. Apart from that, there is also a night mode, but it is definitely not as impressive as similar modes on many other phones, like the Google Pixel 4a. For selfies, there is a 24MP shooter on the front of the Nokia 8.3 5G that manages to capture impressive-looking snaps and performs well for video calls, too.
In terms of its processor, the Nokia 8.3 5G has been equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765 chipset with either 6 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage or 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage. As for the battery, the phone carries a 4,500mAh battery that can be quickly recharged. Overall, this is a great phone to be explored, depending on individual needs and preferences.

The Nokia 8.3 5G arrives with some delay, and unfortunately, this is also noticeable on the phone with which Nokia wants to shake up the upper class: In this way, there is no 90 Hz display and no Wi-Fi 6. At least the smartphone is 5G capable and classy, but is that enough?

The Nokia 8.3 5G shows very few frame drops at 30 fps and 60 fps, and our testers observed no frame drops when playing video games, but motion blur is very visible. Touch is mostly accurate on the entire display surface, but the device lacks smoothness. While the Nokia 8.3 5G ignores ghost touches on its edges in portrait orientation, it does not do so when in landscape mode. Further, aliasing is quite visible when playing video games. But the device manages judder well at 24, 30, and 60 fps, and is flicker-free.

A decent price for some excellent hardware and software should make the Nokia 8.3 5G a better option than it feels like. But other phones like the Pixel 5, OnePlus 8 and Galaxy S20 FE offer more for the same price.

An all-around great value for money mid-range phone, the Nokia 8.3 5G just happens to also boast support for all existing 5G bands, which is something that most flagship phones don't even do. Even if you don't care for 5G, at R13 999 (RRP), you're getting a supremely well put together mobile device.

HMD Global, the owners of the Nokia smartphone brand, has shown some laudable willingness to experiment with the imaging technologies of its phones at the high end (even if the results can be mixed). But in the mid-range Nokia 8.3 5G, the company goes for a traditional camera configuration that looks fairly good on paper but fails to impress in practice. While potentially interesting as a reasonably powerful phone with 5G and a pure Android OS uncluttered by manufacturer modifications, imaging is not a particular strength of the Nokia when compared to the competition.

While a bit more expensive than 5G options from brands like Motorola, it feels like it’s worth the extra money with a solid build quality, better photography experience, and a better software experience with longer promised update tail. Nokia’s continued delivery of the Android One program makes the 8.3 5G worthy of consideration.

The Nokia 8.3 5G is a competent mid-range phone that gets pretty much all the basics right. The only downside is that it targets a very busy space in the market full of handsets with more developed feature sets, like the Pixel 5 and Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro.

The Nokia 8.3 5G is Nokia's one and only flagship offering for the U.S. this year, and unfortunately, it's too little too late for the company. This isn't a terrible phone by any means — offering good performance, long battery life, and a striking design — but it just doesn't hold up to the rest of the competition. You could buy the Nokia 8.3 5G and have a decent time with it, but when you can spend the same amount or less money for a vastly better alternative, it's hard to make an argument in Nokia's favor.

There’s a specific sort of user that’ll enjoy the Nokia 8.3 5G. This device is also set for release with Verizon in a slightly different configuration – mostly to enable mmWave 5G – with the device called “Nokia 8 V 5G UW”. Barring unforeseen tweaking done to that phone by Verizon, this review should serve as a basic preview for that phone, too. The Nokia 8.3 5G is a great smartphone. It looks great and it feels great. Its value is based in simplicity mixed with forward-aimed connectivity and guarantees for quality in both hardware and software (with the updates to boot!) This configuration of the Nokia 8.3 5G was priced at around $700 USD when this review was first published.

The Nokia 8.3 has much to like and I believe firmly holds its ground against others in this tier and price range. While not the cheapest 765G chipset phone out there, it’s also not the most expensive either. I would suggest opting for the 8GB/128GB model just for that extra oomph and if you need more storage, invest in an SD Card, which are very cheap these days.

Also, while it’s unfair to compare a £500 phone to a £1,200 one, I did notice the fluidity of moving through the app ecosystem wasn’t as good as my normal iPhone 11 Pro and the screen did jerk a few times as I tried to snappily and speedily change from one app to the other in quick succession.

Ultimately, we can’t recommend the Nokia 8 V. It just delivers too little bang for the buck. $700 buys you Google’s Pixel 5 (also with mmWave 5G support), or Samsung’s Galaxy S20 SE (with a Snapdragon 865 and telephoto shooter). Both pack far better cameras (with OIS), wireless charging, and water resistance (IP68). We want Nokia to succeed, but for this to happen, it needs to step up and compete. Instead, this time, it stumbled.

The Nokia 8 V 5G offers a nice, big screen and a very good ultrawide angle camera in a phone that works with Verizon’s 5G coverage. But it’s hard to recommend this phone over the iPhone 12 mini, Pixel 5 or other $699 phones.

Had the 8 V 5G hit the market six months ago, our rating would likely have been quite different. Instead it comes up against similarly priced phones, including the Apple iPhone 12 Mini, Google Pixel 5, and Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, that offer a number of features you won’t find on Nokia’s latest flagship. If it were something as simple as an LCD versus an OLED display that would be one thing, but the 8 V 5G lacks an IP rating, Android One, competitive cameras, and even wireless charging. Nokia phones have typically offered a lot of value for their price, but the 8 V 5G just doesn’t add up.

Comment
Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish company founded in 1865 and headquartered in Finland. The company is known for its telecommunications equipment and cell phones. Nokia was one of the leading manufacturers of cell phones in the 1990s and has expanded its business into networking and technology solutions in recent years.
In 2011, Nokia partnered with Microsoft on Windows-based cell phones and sold the entire cell phone division to Microsoft in 2014, which limited the Nokia brand name to basic cell phones. In 2016, Finnish electronics manufacturer HMD Global entered into a licensing agreement with Nokia, bought the remaining Nokia name rights from Microsoft Mobile, and since 2017 has exclusively offered Nokia cell phones worldwide, which are based on Android, among other things, and are produced by Foxconn.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
Qualcomm Adreno 540: Integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC. Slighly optimized architecture compared to the Adreno 530 but with higher clock speed due to the new 10 nm process. In the beginning of 2017 one of the fastest graphics cards for Android based smartphones.
Qualcomm Adreno 620: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 765 and 765G) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2. The 765G variant is 10% faster than the one integrated in the 765 and 20% faster than the Adreno 618 predecessor.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
Qualcomm Adreno 616: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 710) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. According to Qualcomm up to 30% faster than the previous generation (Adreno 512 in the Snapdragon 660). Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2.

77.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
