0:55 "It's not a big dildo." Sorry, I had to. :D

Considering that its price is lower than its most direct competition, it seems like a great phone. There's some flaws, but maybe some of it can be improved via software updates.

I will change from my iPhone to Nokia 8 tomorrow! The Nokia 8 is even more superior than the new iPhone 8 and is still cheaper!

I would love to buy this phone if it is packed in Nokia Lumia 930's body but the same specs as this one. Nokia Lumia 930 was one of my most favourite phone.

Nokia got their own idea and design to build smart phone
They don't want to be so overated with crazy design other smart have this day
I like it
Stay cool with own design dont want be like other with almost 90-80% same design
That lack of ideas
Sad you know
Its Nokia
No need to much design
No need to much specs
Build permium design
Sorry
Nokia still No 1

Since the body is made of 6000 series aluminum, if it has a metal plate tucked inside just like Nokia 6, it is virtually unbendable.

Nokia has really pushed the boat out when it comes to design, though. While its other handsets have failed to inspire, Nokia has drawn on the design cues of the iconic Lumia handsets to create something pretty special

No doubt... Nokia 8 gonna rock the mobile world🙌🙌

I am a phone enthusiast and love watching and getting new phones be it mid rangers or flagships or flagship killers. I had a nokia 8 when it came out and i kept using it as my daily driver up until 2020 and honestly nokia 8 was the only phone I ever used that made me feel like I have lost my interest in phones because this phone had everything, literally everything i needed, and it was so snappy and smooth that I sometimes even miss it today with a far superior daily driver in my hand. This little friend of mine has died battery and broken C-port (happened due to accident and are the reasons i put it to rest), but nonetheless this guy remains in my drawer. Loved this phone so much, sad to see nokia not making good phones anymore.

Hahah where did you hear S.A.R.S. ? That's a local band from my country.

[etiennevanrensburg]

Got Oreo about three months ago. Quicker than my LG V30 or Blackberry Priv. Nokia isn't messing about with Android too much, so guess that's why the quicker update. Welcome back, Nokia!

[ArkitektoHardinero]

Fabulous Nokia 8. With Legendary Zeiss optics. Welcome back Nokia. BTW lovin' my Nokia 5, its flagship phone-looks got me! :)

[luxmansantoso]

Yesss!!! Finally nokia has returrrned and packing some awesome hardware. Absolutely buy one

[RafaelRoden]

They really dropped the ball on not having stereo speakers when the 6 had it and the lack of a camera button. They could've had a winner.

Wish I could just put Android on my Lumia 1520. I really like this Nokia 8 though.
Things I miss from my old Nokia phones:
Proper sleeping screens (Symbian)
Dedicated camera button w/quick launch
Fully adjustable camera software
The ability to use the phone with any gloves
Lossless zoom
And a few other nitpicks

the audio is excellent! I've heard it! only the picture that should be improved. but oh yeah you're right it is somewhat "slightly" behind the Samsung S8 and LG G6 when it comes to picture detail. you know, I am a Nokia user since it evolved in the market in 89 or 90(?) and also since the 3210 have been released on the market. somehow, I was thinking: "why is it that Nokia in the 90's was always "IN" and stand-out in the market on those days when it comes to sleek design compared to Erisson. And it was always made in FINLAND. Even it is imported in the Philippines. But now, somewhat Nokia was being "left far-behind" from other smartphones competitors (ugh!). hopefully, that Nokia would bring back the "glorious days" of their products. it MUST be made in Finland (again!) and not in CHINA.

I like the high quality microphones for video recording. I like the front facing 13mp camera as well, the boothie mode looks like something that needs refinement, but is a podcasters great tool. I dislike the screen being at 5.3", the sorta washy colors in picture and video. I dislike the high apetiture which would suck at retaining light very well. The phones IP rating is really low, at that low rating it should've sported a removable battery. Overall, I think the htc u11, v30, s8, note 8 seem like much more exciting gadgets to use. This phone is at the average point Imo. You should do a concert recording of the v30 vs Nokia 8 vs htc u11. Accoustic focus seems to do a really good job when recording events, converts, conventions, or movies.
