Nokia 8 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Deepak Dhingra]()
Verdict
As soon as it lands in India on September 26th, the Nokia 8 will be welcomed by the venerable OnePlus 5 (review). The OnePlus flagship boasts more RAM than Nokia’s contender, though I don’t think there’s a noticeable difference in real world performance. What’s more critical is that the OnePlus 5 also offers slightly better daylight image quality, and I’m hoping that a software update on the Nokia 8 might help bring it at par. The proprietary Dash Charge tech on the OP5 is unbeatable too. However, the Nokia 8 one-ups the OnePlus 5 in terms of a better in-hand feel (this is a personal...

Pros
- Sleek design and great in-hand feel
- Smooth performance and good battery life
- OZO sound and IP54 rating
- Promises timely software updates
Cons
- Camera image quality could be better
- Feels pricey in comparison to rivals
Summary
+
The Nokia 8 comes with the signature build quality we’ve come to expect from the brand, rocks solid specs, powerful dual cameras, and promising battery life. The highlight Dual Sight feature that lets one livestream a split-screen view from both the front and rear cameras may or may not appeal to everyone, but the fact remains that the Nokia 8 is a compelling option for those who need a no-frills daily driver running stock Android, and that promises quick software updates too. The “no-frills” bit however, could be an issue for some, since the phone can’t boast too many standout features.

What works
+
When I went hands on with the Nokia 8 for the first time, I called it a stylish-looking phone but one that won’t turn heads, with the possible exception of the Polished Copper variant. And after using the phone as my daily driver for the past few days, I think I’ll stick with that. The thing with the Nokia 8 is that it’s an elegant device, without being too flamboyant or flashy.

What doesn’t work
+
As you might have noticed, I’ve covered almost all aspects of the Nokia 8 under positives, and the reason for that is that the Nokia 8 is actually a very capable phone. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its share of negatives. The biggest on my list of gripes is that the camera image quality leaves a little something to be desired. The daylight shots turn out dull sometimes, and again, the benchmark for me here is the OnePlus 5. Next, the much-hyped Dual Sight streaming feature, though nice to have, may not appeal to everyone. And lastly, given the Nokia 8’s expected price of Rs 40k, I feel it might be a tad overpriced.
