Anonymous, 08 Jul 2020Which is the best NOKIA phone to buy?Anything BUT Nokia!

    I have this phone for about a year and a half now and I can safely say that people should NEVER buy a Nokia phone. The budget phones are pure shit and this one has touch panel issues, leading to the touch screen to become either less responsive or unresponsive. The only way to solve it is to turn the screen off and back on using the power button. This problem occurs at random so it's not possible to reproduce it. Nokia's Repair Centre very rarely replaces the screen but in most cases replacing the screen won't fix it because it's a FIRMWARE issue! Nokia actually admits that the Novatek touch panels used for the Nokia 7 Plus are faulty but they won't do anything about it. That kinda shows their attitude towards fixing such hardware issues because it's cheaper to ignore it than to do something about it.

      Haneet, 14 May 2020Guys I am due for an upgrade from my Sony XA1 PLUS so pleas... moreGo for Galaxy A51, nokia 8.1 is now going to be 2yrs old and soon nokia might stop providing latest software support and shift their focus on its newer devices. Also, I don't have a very pleasant experience with nokia 8.1, which you can read in another opinion I have posted. Coming to galaxy A51, the specs seems fine but I do recommend a detailed research before putting any money, though my experience with galaxy devices have been good. Used galaxy s8 earlier and also found their after sales service really good.

        A little more than a year ago, I bought nokia 8.1 because of its pure android experience and fairly good SoC and camera. But since last 3-4 months, the phone is lagging quite frequently, sometimes it completely freezes for 10-15secs, has serious charging issues it doesn't charge even keeping it connected to the original charger and other branded ones. Also it takes now atleast 3-3.5hrs to full charge. The screen has some absurd white spots. Have tried full reset but didn't help a little. The after sales service is also bad, here in India (Delhi, to be precised) they have outsourced their services through some local small scale companies, which has contracts from other Chinese brands also and they provide service for all such brands from a single service center only and which impacts the service quality of all the brands. Now, seeing the market condition for nokia in India, I don't have much hope that the situation would improve in near future.

          I have my 8.1 for 1,5 year, until now it still good. Except some time a bit slow, lag due to open many app.
          Finger print is ok. Camera quite good but very slow loading and save for first picture.
          Phone mic is not good, some time my clients can not heard my voice.

            Been using this phone for almost 1 and half years.. Had few annoying problems with charging port and screen response.. For good I'm gonna buy a new phone.. 8.1 was a decent phone.. and it's a shame that even if I wanted to buy my next phone another Nokia phone, they never release a good device after 8.1 which I could replace after nokia 8.1.. And I will never ever gonna purchase any Nokia device untill HMD's license expires of making Nokia phone.. it's that bad of a mobile company..

                    Being comitted to the AndroidOne scheme, the device UI works well, offers support for custom launchers, is moderately easy to un-google, and performs well in terms of reliability. Battery life is fantastic, camera is perfectly adequate for a reasobable adult, fingerprint reader on the rear is by far most intuitive of the attempted placements, and having aluminium frame, it has a superior build quality for the price range.
                    The glass back is however fairly impractical, shattering inside a case after a one meter drop, regretably a common issue. The market needs more full-metal builds. In addition, I started having difficulties with display reactivity, which seem to go away after screen lock-unlock approach.

                      Good phone for the price. Unfortunately, the design is awful. The glass back slides on every possible surface. First day I bought it few months ago the phone fell sliding from the table. Luckily, it fell on soft ground. But yesterday from about 40 cm again, the phone slided down and fell on tarmac and now it's reck'd unusable.

Maybe the new Android system got better battery management. Your should be tested in service in my opinion. How do you charge your battery? Do you wait the capacity to go below 15%? Or do you charge it when you go to bed? Things like that are not good for battery life.

                                      Monitors, 17 Jun 2020Drop one time, front display broken. Maybe it was hard drop or the display was weakened by alcohol desinfectant. I have dropped mine dousen times and it broke at last. The cost of the original display at otorized Nokia service was 130 euros. I payed the price and I'm happy to use again my phone. You couldn't tell that anything happened.
