Editor-in-Chief with 25+ years in tech, reviewed 1000+ gadgets.
  • 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
  • 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.

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 opinion), a more capable and higher resolution display, and a faster update cycle thanks to the presence of stock Android. The Nokia 8’s IP54 rating for splash resistance also helps it score more points over its nearest rival. Talking about competition, the LG G6 (review) is also a solid all-rounder in the same price bracket, and brings everything from dual cameras to a widescreen display, and even IP rating to the table. The upcoming Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 (first impressions) is also likely to fall in the same price segment… and from what I’ve seen, is a very special device with its bezel-less design and ceramic build.To sum it up, I’d say that while you carefully need to weigh your alternatives if you’ve got Rs 40k to spend on a new phone, the Nokia 8 deserves a long, hard second look. The pros outnumber the cons after all.
