Nokia 8 gets a poor DxOMark score

11 January 2018
The company's current flagship smartphone can't hold a candle to top scorers such as the Google Pixel 2, Apple iPhone X, and Huawei Mate 10 Pro.

Lightning McQueen, 19 Jan 2018See, a Zeiss lens with 13mp fares worse than a 12mp Leica l... moreWell, i owe this device and the camera is slow, as i was saying. But is clear to notice that here their is a software problem. Anyhow, the camera is not top of the line like lumia, but is not even close worse then crappy camera from iphone 6. Dx0 mark are a bunch of igborants that most probably are paid for this type of things. Only ignorants would just take something like this, for granted wothout even trying to test them selves. Apple always bragged about how the best are their cameras, in reallity, in front of nokia and others too, were crapp, slow, and pixelated. Nobody seemd to care. This pretty much tells you everything abou dx0 crapp and the world.

    Despite Nokia 8 has great positive reviews on almost everything, why would the camera be the worst among all??? I mean look at it, Nokia 8 camera with so much effort and potential for the hard work that HMD did their very best flop so bad making us sobbing with tears???


    Something is so fishy.

Apparently you never seen how a code of and app, looks like. Chaos has an order. The end product is important, not mathematics. So what do i mean? Well, simple: if the pictures are good to bery good in comparison with others. Then is a good camera! Simple logic;)

        Lightning McQueen, 13 Jan 2018Yaya, but according to the GSM arena in the list as of one ... moreIf you think for a while, GSMarena is working with self opinions. GSMarena don't use equipements to test the camera quality, while DXOMark does.
        Gsmarena bases it's reviews towards different opinions by various people working on gsmarena. It's an exchange of opinions they find an end conclusion and share their opinion.
        DXOMark specialises on equipements and real time data. No opinions here but true Mathematics

          t, 12 Jan 2018the king died and now has come back. the king is a zombie.... moreFor me Ferrari is the worse car ...it's expensive and it has zero practicality...even when it comes to exotic cars or super-sport cars I would prefer Lamborghini or Audi R8 or even Porsche.
          The analogy between Toyota and Ferrari is wrong when you refer to Nokia and Samsung.
          Ferrari only makes expensive super sport cars but Samsung makes also mid range and low end phones.
          Relaunching the Nokia brand on the market with 3 phones with SD430 low end processors and no USB type C on neither of them for the prices they asked at the time was the worse move.While the only mid-range the Nokia 7 is still available only in Asia and it is a not such great mid-range.Nokia phones were famous for their great cameras,sadly they could not deliver that anymore.
          The only choice when it comes for buying a decent Nokia is the number 8 model.Which in my opinion is a mid-range...but it is kinda expensive one.

            Lightning mcqueen, 14 Jan 2018Yes they don't sell well. The last phone they sold the most... moreNokia 8 is a good device. Camera is slow to focus in low light (probably will be fixed in the future). But do not be a sheep and drag your self into the world of ignorance like all this Trolls here that do not know the result of 5+3. Dx0 are a joke and have nothing to say in real worlds tachnology. Only the fact that they score nokia 808 and 1020 under the crappy camera of iphone 6 (which takes pictures worst then my old but gold nokia n8) kind of tells everything about them.

                  The camera is poor even my non flagship clicks better pics than it
                  Image stabalization is a joke
                  Pooresttttt low light performance
                  When u switch off hdr during low light the image brightens but the pics are worst due to camera shake as phone takes more time to click pics and the same can said for dual camera when u switch off the second camera the same thing happens
                  Its a piece of shit at even 50$
                  Now the nokia phones are really dead

                    Anonymous, 14 Jan 2018Bbk sells the most number of devices in the world after Sam... moreYes they don't sell well. The last phone they sold the most is the OnePlus 1 at 5million. BTW i don't like phones that are being to trendy in the news or reviews that's forcing you to buy!!!!


                    Despite the OnePlus 5 has great spec, it's only the Indians, Bangladeshi and the Chinese people are buying the OnePlus 5 or 3. And i don't see anyone using that phone in my homeland. (Singapore) Most of them who bought the OnePlus 5 are YouTuber or reviewers. This is why OnePlus 5 or 3 are too gimmicky especially Oppo phones.



                    Luckily, i did not bought the Nokia 8 cause otherwise you or others would have bullied me badly seeing at this score from that poor result. And yes, i don't know what the heck is Dxo???!!!

                          Well all I can say is if it's better than the Nokia 808 then it has an amazing camera. Still arguably one of the best camera's on a phone ever. Period!

                              Who gives a Phack on bias "camera-centric" site called DXO Mark.Like what they have updated their review on the Nokia 808.

                                DxO: we don't care about resolution, we don't care about camera full potencial, we test all smartphones as consumers who always use Auto mode, take photos everywhere especially in pitch dark and know nothing about post-processing than using automatic filters available on Google Play/iStore. Still we thing our tests are creditable and professional. We got paid for them anyway.

                                In short they hate Nokia 808/1020/ Lumix CM1.

                                    The Nokia 8 isn't expensive, it is 350 pounds or under in the UK much below the OnePlus 5T. For that price, the phone is a complete bargain and the camera is totally useable. My biggest gripe with it is the speed of focus - the pictures are fine.
