Anonymous, 26 Aug 2017really? no mention of its closest competitor, the mi6? both even have similar form factor at 5... moreNokia wins in build quality, camera and availability (hopefully), Mi6 kills it in price-to-performance ratio.

Nokia listened to users and high and rank of their employees this time around and not just some high level executives deciding everything abiut their phones. Going with almost stock android like they did is a winner, i believe. They just need to keep their promises on software updates.

The best words to describe this phone, as said on first page of review -"better that than nothing". Good but extremely slow camera (like always Nokia had), useless second sensor (fake bokeh? Soon it will go out of fashion and that's good), average work time (really somebody uses phone just in standby mode? Onscreen tine is not impressive at all). Boring design (take off Nokia branding and you'll get the same chinaphone as hundreds). Remember Lumia ..20 series? Ceramics and unique design. Cheap 520 looking better than this. Really. Great screen and selfie camera. And... And nothing else to say. For fans of dead brand - remove branding and you'll get good but not great overpriced chinaphone. Thanks, HMD, but you still just pretending to be flagship. Better do your excellent for it's price cheap phones.

To be honest camera quality review was not completely honest but with lots of defending points.. Yes I'm a die hard Nokia fan. Everything else seems to be great in Nokia8..
Want to see a comparison between iPhone 7 LG g6 htc u11 and Nokia 8..

Anytime I buy a phone I look at 3 things: Camera, Battery Life, and Display.
The Camera is above average, the battery life is excellent, and this display is also fantastic for an LCD. If this is priced right when it comes to the US ($500) this will probably be my next device. Glad to see a good first effort even though it wasn't a flawless one.

Hmm, its long I read a review in full, and just because this carries the NOKIA name.
In any case, first effort from them, good. But that doesn't mean you guys should be so defending of them, in some portion you guys absolutely were! Display is good, but you mentioned is better than iPhone 7's? How? Certainly not in colour accuracy! Camera? Good. But the phone costs pretty much a hefty amount, and still no competition with something like Pixel or U11, which were not included in the comparison! Low light shots were pretty bad to be honest, still much better than the garbage overpriced Sonys.
Now the really excellent things, the build quality and the really lovely and simple design. Love them. And that loudspeaker loudness, class leading it seems, and obviously the mentioned audio quality in video recordings.
I for one will surely keep an eye on the next Nokia releases. I really hope the OLD NOKIA quality is back and will continue to remain so in the future. But this phone at this price, sorry not possible to recommend over something like a Pixel, and if you are okay with skinned iterations then S7 or G6.

Anonymous, 26 Aug 2017"High-end ZEISS lenses in front of all three sensors" Really? No, that's just marketing nonse... moreThat is how smartphone manufacturers earn from sales. If there is some kind of license from a very well known company, people would think it is a very good smartphone, same goes to other brands. Idk why HUAWEI would put Leica lens but still produces colours that are not as vibrant as other smartphone manufacturers. If someone asks me whether I should give this smartphone a smash or a pass, I would say smash for the camera and pass for the design. Mainly because the back design looks like NOKIA 5 and not as sleek and stealth as NOKIA 6's design. That smartphone looks more like a tank than this one

Everyone here has a problem with the camera but I'm not happy with the large bezel and bad screen to body ratio of the Nokia 8

Sounds good generally speaking; high-end performance, good build quality, good screen, doesn't play obsolesce game with the headphone jack, quite good battery life and a promise of rapid OS updates, OK camera. Not a master of anything particular but no major weaknesses either.

The Nokia 8's camera is vastly underwhelming, especially when compared to the standards set by the 8-series phones of the Symbian era. It is disappointing to see it bested by the Nokia 6 in the photo comparison tests in both good and low light scenarios, even with a ISO advantage in the latter. Had the 6 been given the same OIS treatment as the 8, there would be no advantage in image quality at all!
The phone with a camera to beat this season is unquestionably the U11 (check the photo comparison), and thus any phone camera with an IMX362 sensor need only be taken seriously. Well, at least until the next series of Google Pixel phones arrives. We are in the age of outsourced camera modules (to the likes of Sony), which at least gives us some means of comparison between camera solutions, albeit at the expense of truly ground-breaking sensor innovation similar to that delivered in the 808 PureView or Lumia 1020. However, I - and I'm sure many other similar Nokia fans - would like to see this compromise flatly refuted at some point. Until then, the painful wait continues for a phone that delivers decent, above-social-media-average image quality. Personally, my frustration with the 808 PureView's software over 5 years has led me to a sensible Android-based solution with a decent camera module like the IMX362. There are thankfully some models on the horizon.
The Nokia 8 is a undoubtedly good phone - containing a good screen, fantastic loudspeakers, solid build quality and a flagship processor. Apart from that, it barely approaches the summit of image quality that prior Nokia cameras have scaled.

"High-end ZEISS lenses in front of all three sensors"
Really? No, that's just marketing nonsense that you even extend. Moreover even if the lenses were extremely sharp, you wouldn't really notice an advantage over other smartphones as the sensor has only 13 megapixels. Nearly every smartphone lens has sharp corners, too. I would also guess that the lenses are even not made by Zeiss , just licensed by Zeiss.
