Hands-on Nokia 8 review: First impressions

16 August 2017
This is a Nokia phone built by Foxconn for HMD in partnership with Zeiss and Google. Make no mistake, though, there’s Finnish blood running through Nokia 8’s veins. The new leadership tried to resurrect the qualities that were vital to the Nokia brand: quality, simplicity, trust and reliability.

      What is the role of old Nokia with these phones? Do they provide softwares/firmware or only the name?

        Well, the word bothie comes fro the tv series F.R.I.E.N.D.S when Ross was dating Rachel and another girl at the same time and the relationship was a bothie.

            jos, 19 Aug 2017Hahahahahahaha, dreamer... My LUMIA 950 XL is still the BE... moreWhile it may have a good camera, it's far from the best.

            f/1.9 isn't all that great, there are already f/1.7 cameras, and a rumoured f/1.6 on the LG V30.
            The tiny 1.12 µm clearly isn't the best either.
            There are also already phones that have more than 20mp.

            However, the biggest disadvantage, as with all Lumia phones, is that it has that horrible Windows garbage on it, making it a huge pain in the a$$ to use, and having only pitiful app support.
            For that money, you should've better bought a camera, that would've been far better still at taking photos.

              "..millennial content creators.."

              WTF is that? Marketing speak? Who creates content on their phone? Or do mean photos and video?

              BTW, could you guys also specify if a phone has a notifation-led?

                    htc u11 has been tested and reviewed by many well known tech sites, android authority, android central, the verge, android pit, to name a few, they all say one thing on common, HTC IS BACK TO TOP SPOT!
                    only marques brownLIES MKBDH who's cynical on his imbalance review of u11 and got bullied by thousands on comments section.

                    u11 camera is the one to beat, the audio is miles away from samsung s8, and the overall fluidity is second to none.
                    Nokia 8 is smoked by u11 lol. Dream on haha....

                                The camera here seems nice, but you can't really compare it.
                                Sadly this one disqualifies itself by being far too tiny, with a tiny battery, both of which isn't even remotely flagship grade.
                                They're asking far too much for this tiny mouse phone. I doubt they'll get very far with this.
