I want to buy this phone in a matter of few days.
So plz help me with your honest opinion(users of nokia 8)

    How can this phone have always-on display on an IPS LCD screen?

    I had the impression that always-on display only works on OLED displays.

            Camera software on Nokia 8

            The last month I've compared the stock camera app with the Google Camera app (GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk).

            What I've noticed it's the very good quality photos and videos taken with te Arnova version of GCam so I will recommended to all Nokia 8 owners to get and use this camera software, until HMD founds the software problem and addresses it properly.

                      Anyone else find it strange that the colour only camera takes pretty much the same picture as the dual camera? Is Nokia conning us by saying that the two work together? Or is the software not doing its job?

                        Good Day guys,
                        I am using this phone from the last two months and i will not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
                        1) Display is excellent with deep blacks for an LCD
                        2) Battery life is very good. Lasts whole day with moderate use
                        3) Performance is excellent. I switched from Galaxy S8. and after using two months, S8 was slow as hell. Nokia 8 is still very snappy
                        4) The copper cooling pipe gets its job done and the phone remains cool even in high pressure (like 3d games, GPS)
                        5) Charging times are very good too.
                        6) Camera in day light is on par with other phones and in low light the quality gets compromised a little but thats not the point which should keep you away from buying
                        7) Nokia ozo audio is out of this world. Very crisp audio is recorded
                        8) Video quality is average. Its not good though
                        9) Build quality is stunning. You get metal body which feels quite good in hand.
                        10) Timely updates are also another reason to go for this phone. Android 9 Pie is expected next month.
                        11) Last, the price is too good. Overall its excellent value for money

                        Keep it up Nokia (HMD)

                          It is a very bad phone. You will repent if you purchase it. Service at Nokia care is pathetic. Instead of solving the problem, staff is getting into unnecessary arguments.

                              Less than 6 months after purchase, my very lightly used (90% of the time it lies on the desk, not used for voice) Nokia 8 phone's display has progressively become unusable, to the point where now it is totally unusable. It is either completely blank, is split into three vertical bands - black - white - black, or half of the top toolbar shows with rest of the screen black. Not a pretty sight...

                              Looking at the various forums, the inevitable conclusion is that the new HMD Nokia phones have some very serious design and/or quality control problems, the likes of which one is unlikely to see from other vendors. Stories of Nokia 8 phones needing to be taken in for service multiple times due to display problems is not uncommon.

                              In contrast, my other workhorse phone - a 2-year old Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini (with < 1/4 of Nokia 8's CPU power & storage capacity, and a lousy camera) has been working reliably and predictably since day 1 (with two SIMs). My 10-year old (now retired) Nokia E61 still works as it always has, though its battery does not last long anymore. The sturdiness and reliability of the old Nokia phones is long gone.

So the jack at my device is quite tight, it actually annoys me a bit, because i have the fealling i bracke something everytime a insert the headphones, but well, that is me. Also the type c is thight enough to not let thigs move. But as i was saying, this does not have to be with all the devices. Along with the screen, which really can differe from device to device (color tone, and the samll defects all amoled have, not talking about this device, in general).

With audio devices you won't get thaz pin. Now, nokia 8 should actually save the connection for a future use. You should see your device in the bluettoth menu. If is not there, well, wierd... my two sense is that you car does not save Nokia's 8 bluetooth mac address and that is why, is always asking for the pin. If you used your care with a lot of devices, try to reset the bluetooth, it should have something to reset all saved devices, sonewhere, and then pair your nokia again. Also, on the nokia, click on the car's device and click forget in the bluetooth menu. Might help.

                                      Agucibu, 27 Oct 2018A quick review after using this phone for the last 11 month... moreBecause trolls, people that have nothing vetter to do, or people that actually make money out of bashing. When it comes to Nokia, their are a lot who are affraid of it. Every phone manufacturer out there. They know how much danger this name can bring into there incomes, so there are a lot of people capable of doing really bad stuff just to destroy a name. Nokia, since rebirth was bullied, trolled and hated. Well, they can't stop people that actually have a brain, from buying it. This phone, i still consider it is the best their is. Price, build quallity and hardware, all match even phones like pixel 3, at a third of the price (letting out nokia's build quality, which is actually superior to pixel 3). Only a full biased maß mentallity can choose other phones over this one.

                                        A quick review after using this phone for the last 11 months:

                                        1. Excellent build and very sturdy, especially the copper version is an eye catching one.
                                        2. Display has an excellent response time and resolution. It is very bright and also has a solid legibility in sunlight.
                                        3. Dimensions are very user-friendly.
                                        4. Vanilla Android is snappy and almost never glitches. Occasionally a soft reset is needed because of the wifi connection; not a hardware problem I think but it's a software problem because on Android 7 it never occurred to me.
                                        5. Charging times are excellent.
                                        6. Battery lasts until evening with moderate to heavy use (except 3d gaming!)
                                        7. Dual sim management is excellent and I never had issues with it. Telephony is excellent and with true HD audio.
                                        8. The hated camera is excellent in good light conditions and especially for the videos! In low light it's what it is but I think it's a software problem; hope HMD will find a solution soon.
                                        9. Price is really ok!
                                        10. Last but not the least is the very snappy response times even using multiple high requirement specs apps.

                                        I've always been a Nokia fan and I sincerely accept it but I really don't understand people speaking and writing strange things about this phone!
                                        It's a very nice bargain of price and what it really delivers; at least until the end of 2019.
