Nokia 8000 4G - user opinions and reviews

Bought it a couple of days ago as a secondary phone. Immediately noticed a problem with the keypad: a lot of the time any key press registers 2 or more times. For example you try to write an SMS message and it often registers single key press as multiple key presses. Same while navigating in the menu. This is especially bad if you want to use a lockscreen pin code or SIM card pin code, because it can easily block the card on multiple failed attempts because of that.
I've seen reports of such behavior in many other KaiOS devices and the solution requires to root the phone of something like that.

Khamis1990, 24 Jul 2022Why dont they use android go edition on this type of mobile phones insteady of the kaios which... moreIf you read the specs, the CPU is too old to support Android Go. Android Go were started in Android Oreo, of which Android Pie and earlier versions are already unsupported.
Newer versions of Android is resource hungry that latest version of it will struggle to process even the slimmed down apps. So rather than Android Go, Nokia should have use either a more newer CPU from Snapdragon 4xx.

Very short battery charge, about a day. Poor UI. Worst of all phones I've had.

No call recording allowed, what a waste of money. At first I bought this for calling, but til I discovered that there was no call recording I was totally disappointed

Poor, just really poor, especially knowing that's meant to be their fancier option! The hardware has a horrible cheap look and feel to it, and the OS is painfully slow and laggy. The keys are a pain to use, and lag between key press and stuff appearing on screen is a nightmare. To add insult to injury, the battery just about lasts a day without any use! Sorry, I had high hopes for this one but I returned it in less than a week. Reverting back to my trusty 10+ year old N95 which just works. This has a lot of potential, let down by very poor software implementation and even more poor hardware

I think patience is needed to use this phone. Very slow device. It takes 4 to 5 seconds to search contacts to make a call or to send/receive messages. Lags every time when in use. 6300 4G and 8000 4G is strongly recommended to avoid and please buy other feature Nokia set.

Nokia 8000 is a bit smarter than its basic models but the UI lacks the refinement of the previous Nokia models. It's painfully difficult to make a call or to find the right contact as one has to keep the cursor in the text field. Why? In most Nokia models you could just set the search terms anywhere within the contacts menu. It makes this model quite difficult for the elderly. Also the finnish translations are poor and text input method is not remembered so that one has to select the predictive text each time one sends a message. How difficult could it be?
Google assistant does not work in finnish and is useless. Whatsapp works but don't expect it to be a pleasure to use. Also SMS gui should be completely rewritten as it's difficult to read ones messages. One has to scroll up in an order to be able to even read the whole message. WHY? This is very poor design. Check earlier models how easy it used to be to use SMS in the better Nokia models.
All in all it makes a very disappointing experience and would just want to return it back. Don't pay full price - these are only worth 20-40 euro. It also contains demos of games that cost a few euros if one accidentally selects to buy it and on top of that one can't remove these gimmicks. Very very poor decision Nokia!
Luckily I expect Nokia to improve this model further as it is just a damn shame that they let this pass the quality control. Its OS can be upgraded so I'll keep my hopes up.
