Anonymous, 20 Nov 2018Camera better than s7?In short: no!
But keep my hopes high for the Pie update which promises a good improvement for photo quality, coming this December :)

Anonymous, 20 Nov 2018Camera better than s7?I don't think so! I had a s7 edge before buying this phone. After installing Google's camera software, the picture quality is pretty great. May be on par with s7 if not marginally better. But video is much better on s7. Faster autofocus on s7 helps, and Nokia's video is a mess as it loses focus from time to time! (default HMD baby made software's video)

Betch, 13 Nov 2018Hey Carol, my Nokia 8 LCD display got burn-in. What should ... moreLCD's do not burn in. They have a peoblem with image persistance or ghosting But it should go away if you do what cupckake said. Keep it on full light for a couple of hours. Use a lot of white, blue and gray. But better look for lcd burin wiper. In playstore It kind of does what i said. Turn the backlit lower then or at maximum brightnes (do not forget, max brightness is also a factor of panel degradation). Anway, let the program run for an hour two. See if anything improved.

For me I've experienced some kinda burn in (maybe a software glitch) after texting on whatsapp for a few hours. The whatsapp taskbar (topmost part) was there like a stamp in every app even after restarting! After usung the device with maximum brightness, and playing a few videos, slowly that burn in dissappeared completely. Since this is a LCD display, you'll most probably be able to fix it! If it didn't fix your problem, search YouTube for dead pixel healing videos and keep playing one for a few hours, it might work.
Take it into nokia care if nothing worked :)

The newly added smartphones are Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and Nokia 8 devices. This was confirmed by HMD Global’s Chief Product Officer, Juho Sarvikas on Twitter.
The tweet read: @sarvikas: Nokia 3, 5, 6 and 8 of 2017 will also get Pie. This hopefully helps understand why everything cant happen at the same time.

I'm a happy owner of this phone since 1 week now - it's so fast! Previously I had a Samsung S7, switched for a Nokia 6.1 but because of the poor camera (everything else was good) switched again after 3 weeks to this N8. Waiting patiently for the Pie (which by the way was already installed on the 6.1) and expect it for N8 by the end of the year, correct?
As for the Youtube, I installed Stream from the store and never looked back - it can keep playing in a small window and continue doing whatever I want in the meantime.

Anonymous, 08 Nov 2018Makes you wonder that the Google camera app makes pictures ... moreNope. Actually the dynamic range of the monochrome sensor is bettter than the colored one. But unless you're an enthusiast, you wouldn't enjoy a monochrome sensor. And your first comment, it's pretty obvious. Even the pixel 3 xl uses only a single camera in 2018(till late 2019). HMD's software is the only downside of this phone.
However, things are expected to turn around dramatically with Android Pie update. According to Juho Sarvikas, they are working on a camera update which will improve picture quality and also include AR processing. We'll probably have to wait a few more months to receive Pie and let's see after that.

Newpipe is a project against google so is not to be found in playstire. It scrapps all the limits, adds and whutnut and lets you see the videos in raw. If interestead. Search it on f-droid.

amanisb, 08 Nov 2018oh man! you just remind old Nokia. I still love nokia windo... moreMe too, sadly Microsoft forced people out. Also forced Nokia out of business... I actually do not like android that much, the interface is just fragmented into peaces. Ugly! And all the launchers are even more uglyer. And google? Oh how i like them to be out of my devices. Anyway, since there are only two systems left and ios is not my cup if tee, HMD came out right on time with the nokia 8 (scrapped of crapp that generally is to be found in all other devices, samsung being one of them). So i bought it. And it actually remeinds me more of nokia then the last device i had (that one reminden me of a very plastiky cheap build device, samesung gs2 or something) lumia 950xl. Was a great peace, but when it came to build quality....headaches.

Does anyone else have an issue with YouTube videos loading. I constantly get the spinning loading wheel and it gets frustrating and sometimes in chrome pages are really slow to low and you can see slow progress on the loading bar. It's really inconsistent... sometimes there and sometimes not. Was rarely and issue in my Samsung.

Agucibu, 08 Nov 2018Please search for this on Google search: GCam-5.1.018-Pi... moreMakes you wonder that the Google camera app makes pictures look so much better and it only uses one of the cameras. Pretty much makes the monochrome camera useless. I bought the phone thinking that it would help with low light but pictures look generally the same on the normal colour camera. The Nokia 7 plus at least has a good camera normally and a zoom camera that is useful. You can use a black and white filter anyway than use the monochrome sensor for shots. Nokia could have therefore spent twice as much on the main camera and given it a 1.7 aperture to improve low light shots?

Does anyone else have a problem with YouTube videos loading and getting the spinning wheel? I get it alot and sometimes when using Chrome Web pages some pages take ages to load and the status bar moves slowly. It's a bit inconsistent.
