Just would like to ask if the field of view of g8 in picture and video mode are different. I just noticed that picture mode is wider compared to video mode which is like zoomed. Is it a sensor (hardware) or firmware (software) issue. Thanks guys.

I g8 phone about 2 months ago Khrydm.dr mid-range phones and at this price is really excellent in every respect. Very good camera and 3GB of internal memory and 32 I think is right. Games with good graphics and high volume runs without problem without having to get hot.

When i read "No material design" i just jumped straight to screen shots section and looked at them and said " Yeh no wonder there is no material design as it is running ios 9.2" .... damn that is the cleanest OS which is cloning ios nearly as close as 99%. the folder layout, background blur, everything. Shame on huawei and google should ban them next year and search for some new manufacturer for nexus may be HTC as they need some help right now.

Why don't they just use the robust SD 805 chips (or 801 if cheaper is the goal)? It's good, and I doubt mid-rangers need all of the 64 bit stuff anyway.

SDKforLumia, 16 Dec 2015Hey GSMArena team, no mention of my queries?
I asked does ... moreHello.
1. Yes, you can switch your primary storage to be your SD card and apps will be installed there automatically. After switching the storage you will be granted the ability to move apps to the SD card as well. Note that switching to a Class 8 card made the G8 experience a noticeable lag.
2. The chipset indeed heats the phone a lot when put under pressure and sometimes throttling occurs, though the phone doesn't overheat. But since the G8 is made of metal, it gets really hot sometimes, on the verge of unpleasantly hot description.
Hope these help.
