Tariqtechnology, 23 Apr 2019The problem with reviews is that the reviewers use flagship... moreYes, I understand your logic and analogy but crashing and hanging while switching app is irrelevant. Please at least say that there's no such things.
I do not care about gaming so I never thought of acquiring a phone with superior processor or pay for an expensive high-end phone. What I do need is smooth performance in multitasking. May I also ask:
- how good its GPS efficiency is?
- how Bluetooth connectivity performs? e.g. frequently reconnected?
Thx a bunch

Kadia, 23 Apr 2019Apart from built quality which I'd likely lean toward Nokia... moreThe problem with reviews is that the reviewers use flagship smartphones and then review a mid range smartphone like Nokia 8.1 and start comparing it to flagships and this is just wrong, I used the Nokia 7 plus since it came out and it was a wonderful experience and lag free then I upgraded to 8.1 and I liked it a lot and no such issues or lag but when in it comes to heavy gaming I want the best possible experience for a reasonable amount of money so I downgraded, yes you heard me right downgraded to the Pocophone F1 by Xiaomi and while it excels in performance and gaming, it falls apart in every other category, Nokia 8.1 has a way better LCD display with punchy colours and HDR support, premium build quality, clean software, a decent loudspeaker despite being a single speaker etc. Nokia 8.1 is a great smartphone for the price and way better than the competition so you made the right choice.

mehtasameer2087, 21 Apr 2019See how many people have posted that they have no problems,... moreApart from built quality which I'd likely lean toward Nokia, I still find a few reviews about the lagging and stuttering during regular use. Here is the quote from one such review:
"Unfortunately, it proves to be a rather sluggish experience and one that you wouldnÂÂ’t expect to see from a phone costing £379.99. Basic actions like bringing up the keyboard can cause the phone to stutter, making for a jarring and frustrating user experience. Touch responsiveness when swiping around apps can also have lag, which led me to think momentarily that an app had completely crashed, only for it to spring back to life a split-second later"
Have you or anybody else faced the issue even after the latest update? Please note that the phone is still yet to be delivered to me so your comments are highly appreciated. If this issue is really apparent and still exists without fixing, I may consider canceling my order. IMO, this issue is serious and a deal breaker considering my daily use. Thx in advance

lippincott, 10 Apr 2019Pls which variant is more advisable to buy in Nigeria. the ... moreIf u are in Nigeria and you hv glo sim are care about 4G LTE, dont buy X7 as it doesn't support band 28 but 8.1 supports band 28. Other than that, X7 is cheaper than 8.1. x7 is fine n is blazing wt 9mobile, Airtel, Ntel and even support Ntel VoLTE. I don't kn abt MTN Nigeria as i dont hv Mtn line to test. I got one from AliExpress on Thursday and on good Friday has time to explore the phone, its fantastic.

Is this true? I have actually made a reservation for the phone but yet to receive so I can still cancel it.
I'm skeptical that why some faced the issue while others didn't. It's also hard to believe that Nokia has failed in terms of built quality considering that I used to own 7 plus a few short months.

Nokia x7 is good but feeling trouble in data sharing.
WiFi direct didn't work.
Even didn't share data via data cable with laptop.
Hanged during phone calls
Screen sensor didn't work sometimes during calls
You can't make a conference call and can't merge your call.
Speed is good
PUBG experience good

I wonder when GSMArena will do a proper review of this phone, despite giving it the title of best mid-ranger of 2018?
