Sugi, 19 Jan 2019Perfect Phone, since i need camera quality for my official ... moreThe front camera of 20 mp is unecessary to you, but does it still make good pictures?
Would you recommend this phone?
I'm searching for a phone with good performance overall, good autonomy (it would last at least 1 day), taking good pictures and videos (for personal use, not professional), run smoothly with many apps opened, and running some games (not too heavy, though)
I saw earlier a video and picture samples of Nokia 8.1 and it was really amazing. The quality of pictures were very good, and the videos in the night! It was a comparison with the Nokia 7 plus.
I hesitate between Nokia 8.1 and Nokia 7 plus. Nokia 7 plus has the pro that is its current price (about 250€ right now in physical stores in my city).
But Nokia 8.1 seems promising, but a bit expensive for my money (i would prefer buying a phone around 200-250€), so of course i would wait for the price to decrease.
The nokia 8.1 seems really promising, with a snapdragon 710 that is (according to what i found online) better than 660 (normally it should! but it depends on the smartphone, of course). Apparently, the 8.1 has Optical image stabilisation, that is why the pictures and videos are greater compared to the 7 plus (according to an article i've read)
by the way, can someone tell how much the price of Nokia smartphone decrease over the time ? (like 3 or 6 months after). I wonder how long should i wait until the price of the phone is , at least, below 270-300€
Anyway, the nokia 8.1 is really appealing!

Very nice phone for the price. However a Nokia 7 for less might be a good alternative option too.

Using this phone for two weeks now. Performance is smooth, battery backup is great, rear camera is okay and works better with gcam mod. However, issues start with the unnecessarily large notch with no special sensors or extra cameras out there and it blocks most of the notifications, the bottom chin is also quite large. Also, there is something terribly wrong with the front camera, it just overexposes everything like crazy, and even using gcam didn't improve it either. The display is hdr, and this should mean high contrast and deeper blacks. However, when compared with a lcd of LG G6, it's black don't look good at all, and at angles you can clearly see the color shifts and the blacks becoming grey. Overall, a decent phone, but still a lot more to go for Nokia to regain some of their glory.

Visitor., 19 Jan 2019Neg vs corning gorilla glass!!!!! ... safe to buy 8.1 or 7.1??Yes , and both vendors provide high quality, Gorilla glasses is just more hyped,taking care of the device is of more importance ,a glass is a glass and always prone to breaks and scratches,just get a good scratch gaurd and a transparent cover ,infact you can get scratch gaurds for both front and back,dropped mine a couple of times no dents and scratches occurred.

Perfect Phone, since i need camera quality for my official purpose, it does it best.
Performance also good, Sound quality was awesome,
Camera Qulity perfect and clarity.
Only thing which i don't like was front camera 20mp, which is absolutely not necessary ,

I got my X7 to Android 9 and so far it's great. On top of new features in Pie, it keeps the old navigation gestures along with the new google nav bar, which was my main reservation from going Pie.
