Not necessarily a bad thing if there are other features that make up the difference. I think that the 8 model was always going to get compromised as the 9 is the new flagship so this has to stay
still in terms of specs.

Bharathi, 29 Nov 2018if it is having 4000 mAH.. then i will think about it..Capacity is one thing, optimization is another for consideration.
Take a look at the original Razer Phone and last year's HTC U11+

Love the Community, 29 Nov 2018What the heck they're talking about? Nokia 8.1 is more of a sidegrade of the Nokia 8 (2017). C... moreI do understand the points, and as far as excitement goes, this is far more interesting than the Nokia 8, but the use of SD710 is clearly misleading.
The .1 on their naming scheme is supposed to be understood as an upgrade to the model that it adds up to.
Nokia 6 (SD630) to Nokia 6.1 (SD636)
Nokia 7 (SD630) to Nokia 7.1 (SD636)
Nokia 7 Plus (SD660) to Nokia 7.1 Plus (SD710)
So the thing is, it should've been this way:
Nokia 8 (SD835) to Nokia 8.1 (SD845)
This is by no means that the phone itself is bad in any way, but its name is very confusing, since SD835 > SD710 still.
Making a cheap SD845 phone is very easy, as the chipset itself already costs considerably cheap, probably the cheapest flagship smartphone SoC of this year, with currently also the best GPU performance (only rivalled by Apple's in-house G12 3-core GPU).
Nokia 9 should use the SD8150 (or whatever it's going to be called) while these 8.1 devices should get the SD845 instead.

Fayth, 29 Nov 2018before the notch, all phones already look the same with rectangular screen :DThey at least had their own unique differentiations.
Samsung and Apple with their respective oblong and circular Home button + Fingerprint Scanner, Sony and HTC with their dual front-facing stereo speakers, LG with their secondary screen (V10/V20), and only the rest remained similar in appearance (either plain black or with the logo of the brand on the top or bottom bezel).
Now, you must know how OEMs design their notch for them to be recognized as to which do they belong.

710 Snapdragon is arguably better than an 800 series phone for many users. My Z3 Play has a 636...even with nav, music and chrome running I am not getting any lag or freezes. The 710 has a better DSP, with the same battery and wallet friendly profile of a 6xx processor.

AnonD-804996, 29 Nov 2018Problem is, they are making a flagship with a yesteryear chipset. While I generally don't mind... moreI understand your point but I wouldn't say yesteryear ..it's half a year-ish and with the Nokia 9, we'd still be getting the current 845 chipset, along with a number of features that aren't widely available yet, such as the 5 cameras with ZEISS optics, in-screen finger-print reader, Wireless charging, True motion (or whatever it's called) screen, 20 Megapixel selfie cam
...but putting aside those features, with Nokia, we always get premium and durable built devices which on its own deserves recognition when considering the price tag. With all that said, I don't think the Nokia 9 will cost more than $700-$750 ...it will be very strategically priced because Nokia/HMD really want this phone to sell and they know they can't price it like iPhone XS and Galaxy S+ models ...even if it is better than them but they also can't make it cheaper by much otherwise the general consumer will THINK it's a less powerful device and overlook it.
This is their first true flagship in a long time and they won't risk it sitting on shelves, which is probably why it's been delayed so many times; to ensure it doesn't disappoint in any way.

Jophiel, 29 Nov 2018The Nokia 8 has a more powerful SOC than Nokia 8.1?.. Ok...It's the improved Nokia 7 Plus, not the actual successor of the Nokia 8.

i don't like this trend of manufacturers making expensive phones and then remove FM radio feature.
They just want to force us to use more internet.
If some manufactuerer is reading this comment, i am not buying your expensive phone, if it doesn't have FM radio!
