Absolutely love this phone it rocks. Better than the Samsung or iPhone. 64 GB without the £1200 price tag, with awesome features and user friendly as. Best graphics I've ever had on a device, I've had no issues till jan 26 Nokia decided an operating system full of bugs is an up grade! Yeah right!!! Couldn't contact Nokia or jbhifi for support had no phone for two weeks suck as man. Nokia is shameful they have no techs in nz to help with device issues,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨
I'm really pee'd that Nokia development would force such an ota software update on us. Really Hope they sort it VERY soon.

Been using this awesome device since May and never faced any problem. Just waiting for the Pie update and I'll be a happy camper. Can't complain much aside from the camera performance in low light is not that good even the pro update. Google's camera app is a good replacement though. I'm a heavy user but this little guy can keep up with me with very less lag, though it can heat up too much especially 3d gaming and online ones which gives me up to 5 hours of SOT before it goes below 20%. With normal use, in my experience, it can last a day and a half.
Looking forward for further updates and improvement. I believe Nokia can catch up with the competition.
P.S. I'm a big fan of Symbian, I still have the 808 and N8, still a monster when it comes to imaging department, no one can easily overthrow them.

A quick review after using this phone for the last 11 months:
1. Excellent build and very sturdy, especially the copper version is an eye catching one.
2. Display has an excellent response time and resolution. It is very bright and also has a solid legibility in sunlight.
3. Dimensions are very user-friendly.
4. Vanilla Android is snappy and almost never glitches. Occasionally a soft reset is needed because of the wifi connection; not a hardware problem I think but it's a software problem because on Android 7 it never occurred to me.
5. Charging times are excellent.
6. Battery lasts until evening with moderate to heavy use (except 3d gaming!)
7. Dual sim management is excellent and I never had issues with it. Telephony is excellent and with true HD audio.
8. The hated camera is excellent in good light conditions and especially for the videos! In low light it's what it is but I think it's a software problem; hope HMD will find a solution soon.
9. Price is really ok!
10. Last but not the least is the very snappy response times even using multiple high requirement specs apps.
I've always been a Nokia fan and I sincerely accept it but I really don't understand people speaking and writing strange things about this phone!
It's a very nice bargain of price and what it really delivers; at least untill the end of 2019.

This phone is not perfect, but first, look at the prices in europe: nokia 8 - 390 euros, samsung s8 - 600 euros, samsung s9+ - 960 euros, mate 10 pro 128gb - 700 euros, iphone x 64 gb - 1170 euros. So, you get almost top of the line hardware with less shiny features and not top camera, but you save shit ton of money. Nokia 8 is a high end phone with a very good value for its price, while all the other flagships are hugely overpriced and have very bad value for money, considering they also have all kinds of software/hardware bugs.

Hi...People give reviews which help absolutely nobody. They give their comments just with their personal experiences wherein most of the time, the problem entountered by them are caused by their own ignorance about how to use the phone.
I have bought this Nokia 8 & have been using phone for quite sometime. This is no doubt one of the best phone under this price tag. I wouldnt be calling anyting as CONS on this phone.
Before buying the phone, I did my proper homework to know what the phone offers. This phone delivers what it promises in terms of Design, Performance, Storage, Pure-Android experience, Battery, Fast-Charging last but not the least Camera (Dual camera)...
The only two things (in-significant) which I may point out is the lack of Wireless charging & Full waterproof which can be discarded as "no-must" feature.
All in all this is one of the best phone that I would recommend to anyone.

OSasmatteroffact, 18 Dec 2017Lmao LG has never been on top not even in top 5 of world to... moreWell' I couldn't agree more about LG. For iPhones, on the other hand, yes you're right about their tenured years (close enough with Nokia) but I guess, they just become popular since 2010's due to blackberry phone's ruled by then when their first apple phone released. We are talking about popularity hon, and on the other way around, talking about their downfall, I'm waiting dear, am not in a hurry. The higher you go, the harder you fall as they say. Let's see what come's next.
