Gino76ph, 10 Sep 2019Hi there. I have some very technical and hardware questions... more1. Which of the two phones have a wider angle rear & front cameras? 8.1, bigger pixel is better and the aperture has a reverse value the more smaller the number the better it is f1.8 will be better than f2.4 , so bigger pixel size and smaller aperture number ( wider aperture) is better.
Plus: Does a bigger pixel size (um) and smaller aperture size mean it is better in capturing more light and more detail?
2. Which of the two phones have stereo speakers?
How loud (in dB) they are estimated to output?
And which phones have support or built-in Dolby Atmos sound? None

    mehdiemamzadeh, 09 Sep 2019Hi I have a couple of questions about this phone: 1- what... moreSo you change your phone after 3-4 yeaes.. well.. nokia 8.1 has solid build quality that can easily lasr for 3-4 years.. its just been released 9 months ago but its build quality can easily last for 3-4 years.. It has great specs which seems to be future proof except it don't support 5g but still.. It has great display with nokia pureview display and hdr10.. sunlight display is good. Easily as good as super amoled.. only thing thats dissapointing is the notch.. Otherwise I think its better than other phones.. Now K20 is great but it doesn't provide you stock android as well as nokia 8.1 has better build quality.. just look at K20's coulous option.. seems like a toy for kid.. Nokia 8.1 has definitely classy design over K20.. Tho k20 has better processor but Who said SD 710 is worst.. OEMs still using SD 710.. and yeah its a great chipset co-oped with great device.. gofor it

              I am confused between A50, Realme 3 Pro and 8.1.
              My requirements are Should have Great Display and Camera. A50 has a SuperAmoled Display but i really dont know about the display quality of Nokia even though it has HDR10.
              One more thing is this device HDR10 Certified? and Also does it support neflix HD playback.

                  mehdiemamzadeh, 09 Sep 2019Hi I have a couple of questions about this phone: 1- what... moreI also had a lot of doubts before i got my first Nokia android. Not because of the phone, but because of the system. I started to proper use android in 2017 when i bought nokia 8. It was a hard decision, again.because of the system. I would not buy any other brand, first because of priciples and second, again, the system. I hate bloatware, and i hate to have to brake my warenty and security just to get rid of it. In symbian era their were a lot of things one cloud do without "getting rid" of security, uninstalling everything was one of them, but well... I hardly turned to android, cause well, rhere is nothing left, so i wanted a system as empty as their can be, on a device that i actually want to support, i like and has enough strenght to handle my... let's say, way of handle it. Also a device that takes stelar phone calls. I do not like social media and use it very rarely, if i want to say something, i make a call. And at the end, a good camera. All of this criterias are mostly done, just by Nokia, i wanted to try Blackbery (great security features) but they are to expensive for the hardware and the camera sux. So i went back to my good old Nokia, that never dissaponted me, and if i ever had a problem with a Nokia, i would have taking it back and take another, the same model...cause i am stubborn. And that one would be great.
                  As for turning back to nokia 8.1 and 7.2. I really think HMD stopped not using watter proof a long time ago. Nokia 8.1 definetly has it (even though gsmarena does not wright about it) you can actually find videos with it merged in watter on you..tube. For nokia 7.2 we have to wait. But i have a fealing would be a nice gift for a family member this year.

                    mehdiemamzadeh, 09 Sep 2019Hi I have a couple of questions about this phone: 1- what... moreAs Far As My Concern X7 & 8.1 is Same In Every Aspect.
                    Brightness is super Awesome.
                    You Will Love Its Build Quality
                    Battery Is Decent Enough.
                    & Camera Is Supercool After Installing Google Camera.

                    I Am That Kind Of Person Who Changes Phone Every 3-4 month, But I'm Using It For Very long time like for 8-9 month, Not That Long Time For You But I Usally Swith My Phone Very Quick.

                    & The main reason Is Its Build Quality, Display, Camera, Clean Software, That Cute Nokia Logo On The Button & Its Decent Processor.

                    But As I'm Very Very Heavy Pubg User I Have To Charge My Phone Every Night

                      Hi
                      I have a couple of questions about this phone:
                      1- what's the difference between the Chinese version (x7) and the global version in terms of software.
                      2- how's the screen in direct sunlight? Is it bright enough?
                      3- how much storage is available to the user?
                      4- how's the camera quality? Does it have night mode?
                      5- between realme x, Nokia x7 and Redmi k20 what do you recommend and why? I change Phone every 3-4 years so it's important that it lasts long.i use the phone with case always. Battery life is important too. I always have either wifi or data on.

                                        https://www.flipkart.com/nokia-8-1-b...FLIPKART&sattr[0]=color&sattr[1]=storage&sattr[2]=ram&pageUID=1567724103600&fbclid=IwAR1hE0yxsjkcQs 9qiJEJ5MIZLxMOvd9z7cTFUzLT0de4QMohdHqOYyI_TjQ

                                        and Rs. 15,999 on nokia website
                                        https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_in/n...p3ksnRS4#specs

                                        so is still worth it or there are other alternatives and it's better to buy from flipkart or nokia or local shop
