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.

    Nick 20, 28 Oct 2018Less than 6 months after purchase, my very lightly used (90... moreHow do you mean not usuable, blank? Did the screen get spoilt all of a sudden or what?

      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.

          Hi, 20 Oct 2018Sup everyone Iam considering buying Nokia 8 or Xperia XZ1 h... moreI do not think this type of things can be said past one device, yes there is a standard, but perfectly the same there won't be. 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).

            Mike, 22 Oct 2018Everytime after being blootooth phoning connected with my c... moreThat pin is asked when you pair two smart devices together, google finaly realised that bluetooth is not that safe, so tehy added an extra security to the system. 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.

If you asked our help "should i go for nokia 8 or 7 plus", we would've definitely helped you with the matter. Now thats you've purchased Nokia 8, don't worry Nokia 8 is a great handset. Camera is the only downside (if you can live with the design), still HMD Global is the one to blame. Zeiss optics are really capable, but held back due to messy sofrware. Use Google Camera (dowload and install from the internet) Nokia 8 will give you some nice shots.

Now after th... moreI was expecting quite alot from the camera given the reviews and that this was a flagship but when taking pictures at home the shots are horrible and grainy with soft/no details when zoomed in, to the point where I contact Nokia. But my problem is that that how do I know that I have a problem specific to my phone or whether this is normal? Really has ruined my happiness at getting this phone - in hindsight should have gone for something else - nokia 7 plus or samsung.

The Pocophone F1 has a bigger battery, it might be a better choice for you. The Nokia 8 isn't part of the Android One programme but Nokia do update the Nokia 8 on a monthly basis and we should get Pie before the end of 2018. Stock Android is great, I like it. Sometimes I wish there were some extras but having stock means the updates come so it is a trade-off. I hope that is helpful.

                            repera99, 23 Oct 2018when coming android 9 pie ?I read somewhere that Pie is coming in November 2018.

                              I bought my Nokia 8 in August 2018 for CHF333. Now after three months of daily use I can say I am more than satisfied. It is a very solid phone I all senses. It is so smooth and responsive. The auto-brightness works well. The bezels are big but I really don't mind because the navigation buttons are at least below the screen which gives you a bit more space on screen. Best of all is the feel of the phone, it sits nicely in the hand. Every month there are security updates and the stock Android experience is refreshing (my previous phone was a Hauwei). The cameras on the Nokia 8 are often talked down. However, I think they are very good! The bokeh effect works well. The video is great, it is nice to be able to do 4k on the selfie cam. The Nokia 8 is an all-round performer. Maybe not exciting but a solid phone that does a fine job. I am happy, especially with the price I paid. I don't understand paying over 1000 for a phone when there are excellent choices like the Nokia 8.

Should have opted for the 7 plus with a 1.8 aperture rather than the 2.0 on the Nokia 8. Pictures when you zoom in aren't that detailed and low light isn't good.
