Nokia 8 is a high-end Android phone combining powerful hardware with simplistic design. On the inside you'll find a powerful Snapdragon 835 alongside lots of memory and storage. A bright and detailed 5.3-inch screen rests at the front, along with a 13MP selfie shooter and a fingerprint scanner, while at the back is situated a dual-camera arrangement where one color and one monochrome camera shoot in tandem. Software customizations are kept to a minimum to ensure speedy updates.

The best phone at good price

Nokia 8 is the best high-end smartphone at good price.
It has dual 13 MP rear camera and 13 MP front camera.
2K display and it's protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
Operating system is newest stable Android 8.1 Oreo.
With fast CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 multitasking is very easy and quick.
And also with fast GPU Adreno 540 gaming is so fantastic.

With a better camera, it would have been the perfect phone

Phone owned for less than a year

Switched from a Microsoft Lumia 950, after Microsoft decided to abandon Windows 10 Mobile. The change was easy considering they kept the button placements like they are on Windows phones. It works flawlessly, the only issue is the camera and the camera app. They are way below average.

great Phone for a quite reasonable price

Nokia (or better HMD Global) is back with a great Non-nonsens Smartphone. Fast, versatile and user friendly with a more than reasonable battery life. And last but not least with adequate pricing (half of other brands flagship)!
