nice video bro..
GSMArena Official Nokia is Finnish, right?
GSMArena Official Smaller screen in nokia 8 lol....even design is better in nokia 6,just the camera is better in nokia 8....but i bougbt nokia 6 yesterday,its very fast,quality build,and good camera,am paying 5.5 bucks a month(2 year contract) for the phone ..cheap. I really recomend the phone. Am coming from s6 edge+
Nokia is Finnish, yes. They were bought out by another Finnish company HMD Global, and their phones are now manufactured by the same company that manufactures iPhones, and others (Foxconn, in China).
Key Box That is incorrect, HMD Global does not own Nokia.
why i am checking review after using for 1.5 years and i still have it...performs like new.
Mad
You are doing awesome Bro
Considering that its price is lower than its most direct competition, it seems like a great phone. There's some flaws, but maybe some of it can be improved via software updates.
Yes. Seems like solid phone for 400€.
Well in retrospect it was not a great phone. It died on me after 7 months and 3 weeks after repair half the display was gone and I had to send it back again.
I will change from my iPhone to Nokia 8 tomorrow! The Nokia 8 is even more superior than the new iPhone 8 and is still cheaper!
Wingman hey I was wondering if you did get it and what do you find you like about it?
hey are u happy with your new phone?
Im replacing my iPhone 8 with this Nokia...just 210€!! (6GB 128GB version)
I would love to buy this phone if it is packed in Nokia Lumia 930's body but the same specs as this one. Nokia Lumia 930 was one of my most favourite phone.
I love lumia designs!!! I owned the 710, 800, 820, 925, 930 and 950!! 930 body may be too thick nowadays though, 925 is the best IMO.
Wong Tik Ki
Had the 925 also and it was the best Nokia I had. That was a great phone with a great design.
Daddy has returned to bless us!
Caesar Mauricius daddy's still smaller and thinner when compared to the *King Note 8*
Faisal Muhammad the King is the iPhone 8.
Kevin Velásquez nahh.. sony xperia xz premium is the king
Kevin Velásquez well my friend Ur king iPhone is loosing to the Nokia 6 in speed test the 6 just lost in booting and gaming th-cam.com/video/RxkqNtBR424/w-d-xo.html

Hay GSM arena am following yor website at the age of 14 and now am 29 still you people are beast in review thank full... Love you
0:55 "It's not a big dildo." Sorry, I had to. :D
Dániel Veres looool
Not big enough for him
I am about to comment that too.
Daniel, this is a bummer for ladies.
He said, "it's not a big deal though." Lol
No doubt... Nokia 8 gonna rock the mobile world🙌🙌
Yesss!!! Finally nokia has returrrned and packing some awesome hardware. Absolutely buy one
I am a phone enthusiast and love watching and getting new phones be it mid rangers or flagships or flagship killers. I had a nokia 8 when it came out and i kept using it as my daily driver up until 2020 and honestly nokia 8 was the only phone I ever used that made me feel like I have lost my interest in phones because this phone had everything, literally everything i needed, and it was so snappy and smooth that I sometimes even miss it today with a far superior daily driver in my hand. This little friend of mine has died battery and broken C-port (happened due to accident and are the reasons i put it to rest), but nonetheless this guy remains in my drawer. Loved this phone so much, sad to see nokia not making good phones anymore.
Bruh same. It's been 4 years since i have had it. I'm finding it pretty hard to switch to a new phone but i have to since my dumbass broken screen and its rebooting randomly and the phone sound is too light now i dunno why, maybe some dmg. It wasn't like this before. Sigh. And it was so dang cheap. I'll never forget this phone. The others don't even come close but cost triple to what i got nokia 8 for 💕
@@ririretasu2779 so true man, i think this guy did well to you too by sticking around working for 4 years. Reeboting is probably due to faulty battery, sound due to damage to speakers or dust in it.
I've had this phone for 4 years. It's great. Still going strong
Do you still use it now? Can you update Android, and can this phone play PUBG mobile
Nokia has really pushed the boat out when it comes to design, though. While its other handsets have failed to inspire, Nokia has drawn on the design cues of the iconic Lumia handsets to create something pretty special
Got Oreo about three months ago. Quicker than my LG V30 or Blackberry Priv. Nokia isn't messing about with Android too much, so guess that's why the quicker update. Welcome back, Nokia!
Should i buy nokia 8 or xiaomi redmi note 5?
Nokia got their own idea and design to build smart phone
They don't want to be so overated with crazy design other smart have this day
I like it
Stay cool with own design dont want be like other with almost 90-80% same design
That lack of ideas
Sad you know
Its Nokia
No need to much design
No need to much specs
Build permium design
Sorry
Nokia still No 1
Akmal Hisyam Nokia was never no1😂😂😂
Doesn't that mean no need to pay much cash
naruto thesier
In the feature phone market they certainly were.
naruto thesier
Uh....yes they were. You must have been born in the 2000"s.....Nokia ruled in sales in the 90's and early 2000"s.....they were more popular than Samsung and apple combined .
Now nokia is not close to dominating the smartphone world
Since the body is made of 6000 series aluminum, if it has a metal plate tucked inside just like Nokia 6, it is virtually unbendable.
I think the plate is exclusive to the 6 though, not on the 8 . Just watch jerryrigeverything for more info.
The Metropolis
That's why I won't ditch my 6 from last year . It's a well built phone that should last the next couple of years....or until Nokia starts selling phones in the states again.
Yeah, right now they only sell 6 and 3310 through Amazon and Best Buy
The Metropolis
I actually bought the new 3310 through Best Buy here in NJ.....cool little feature phone, had the original in the early 2000's...but seriously after using smart phones the last 6 years I can't use feature phones full time anymore. Nice little backup though.
add the old 3300 as backplate
better than kevlar
Hahah where did you hear S.A.R.S. ? That's a local band from my country.
Would you happen to know what song they played in this vid? I cannot find it, it's only a few seconds to go by :x
Willem Groebbens Of course: (Ratujemo ti i ja) th-cam.com/video/O8Bp3osrSQE/w-d-xo.html
There are some shots from Sofia, Bulgaria in many GSMArena videos, so one of their reviewers is probably close by...
Yes! That's what I thought. BiH ♥
@@radiradev2387 S.A.R.S is Serbian band.
the audio is excellent! I've heard it! only the picture that should be improved. but oh yeah you're right it is somewhat "slightly" behind the Samsung S8 and LG G6 when it comes to picture detail. you know, I am a Nokia user since it evolved in the market in 89 or 90(?) and also since the 3210 have been released on the market. somehow, I was thinking: "why is it that Nokia in the 90's was always "IN" and stand-out in the market on those days when it comes to sleek design compared to Erisson. And it was always made in FINLAND. Even it is imported in the Philippines. But now, somewhat Nokia was being "left far-behind" from other smartphones competitors (ugh!). hopefully, that Nokia would bring back the "glorious days" of their products. it MUST be made in Finland (again!) and not in CHINA.
Fabulous Nokia 8. With Legendary Zeiss optics. Welcome back Nokia. BTW lovin' my Nokia 5, its flagship phone-looks got me! :)
breh breh does it have native video call support jn diler like Samsung mobile
Laxmikanta Sahu
It doesn't have pureview though.
Nah.. these are not as good as Lumia...
Oh my god that concert dual camera scene was great
Wish I could just put Android on my Lumia 1520. I really like this Nokia 8 though.
Things I miss from my old Nokia phones:
Proper sleeping screens (Symbian)
Dedicated camera button w/quick launch
Fully adjustable camera software
The ability to use the phone with any gloves
Lossless zoom
And a few other nitpicks
Still using this beast
I like the high quality microphones for video recording. I like the front facing 13mp camera as well, the boothie mode looks like something that needs refinement, but is a podcasters great tool. I dislike the screen being at 5.3", the sorta washy colors in picture and video. I dislike the high apetiture which would suck at retaining light very well. The phones IP rating is really low, at that low rating it should've sported a removable battery. Overall, I think the htc u11, v30, s8, note 8 seem like much more exciting gadgets to use. This phone is at the average point Imo. You should do a concert recording of the v30 vs Nokia 8 vs htc u11. Accoustic focus seems to do a really good job when recording events, converts, conventions, or movies.
The Nokia 8 is a great phone .
There's no doubt it's a flagship even 8 months later this is a beast . It's better than HTC u11 in many ways .
Price being one.
Some great buyign points .
Great build ,great screen ,good sound on speakers and headphones . Great video recording. Good photos better on Google camera port .. pretty good battery. 5 hours of screen on over 16-20 hours . Very fast on everything
Some negatives ... Aspect ratio , finger print scanner quite slow. 5 hours sot could also be seemed to be low . (8 hour mate 10)
Basic software very few option and adjustment s
I own a Nokia 8 and its true the fingerprint is slow and sometimes not working. But the battery is very Good i get about 6-8 hours on screen time without gaming. Battery its Good because the screen brightnes is does a Nice job
Is this phone still worth getting ?
@@patcola7335 Nokia 8 is great but i would go for a huwai P20 or pocophone f1 just because of the larger screen and better camera.
@@MrMessi6511 Thanks, but I am partial to Nokia phones with stock Android and the next couple of years of updates.
@@patcola7335 Aha then Nokia 8 is a great phone for that reason. If you are looking for a stock android phone should try pixel 1 it cost the same as nokia8.
They really dropped the ball on not having stereo speakers when the 6 had it and the lack of a camera button. They could've had a winner.
Julian Roden You can double press the power button to directly enable the camera. I agree with the speakers though.
i got to give it to you, this was actually a really helpful review
This was actually my dream phone.
Well I just bought this phone and will be receiving it within the next couple of days. Yes it's April 2021 and the phone is 3½ years old. But the whole reason I decided on this phone in particular is because it is has IPS display (which doesn't cause as much eyestrain as OLED with intense PWM flickering) and furthermore - because it's a normal sized 5.3" phone which retains the 16:9 aspect ratio (with no notch or punchhole) and still features the 3.5mm headphone jack. 👍
@Amiel Spencer Borejon Hi, it's funny you should ask because I'm actually using it right now to type this message! 😃
The phone is pretty good, I am running a custom ROM so I have Android 12 installed onto it. There's nothing I particularly dislike about it aside I wish the speaker quality was better for music/videos. But at least it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. I like how it's not oversized and heavy like all the latest phones.
Last week I replaced the LCD display due to the original one suffering from very bad image retention/temporary burn-in. It's the most common fault for this phone. Also be careful to avoid ones with badly degraded batteries because the phone is over 3 years old.
If you're interested in the custom ROM thing then there's a small community of developers over at XDA who have ported over ROMs like Ancient and Cherish OS - these have a lot more customisation than stock software and latest security patches. There's also a Telegram group for owners where you can ask questions and get support. Hope this helps.
@Amiel Spencer Borejon Haha no worries! I know I was a bit late with my reply. I think you made the right decision because the phone you bought is a lot newer than this one, with better performance and battery life. The stuff I described updating to Android 12 is a lot of trouble if you're not experienced with that sort of thing. Hope you enjoy the new phone!
@Amiel Spencer Borejon Yeah I wish the software was better on Xiaomi phones. I always hear people complain that MIUI has lots of bugs. If you keep the Redmi as a secondary backup phone then maybe you could still try installing a custom ROM. It would solve all of the problems cause it'd be the same as stock Android on a Google Pixel phone.
A great phone. I hope its system is updated to Android 10❤️
The image quality is insane! Nokia is back!
Love your review. It covers everything I need to make a decision
Kinda miss my Nokia 8. Was a very reliable phone, unlike the Note10 I replaced it with. Now using an iPhone 11 Pro, which is great.
Very good review
Watching this video on my year and half Nokia 8..
Oreo update is out officially, which would be a perfect opportunity to revisit this phone and test if the camera issues have been solved or not.
I just bought this phone. I'm so far satisfied.
Dude, have you seen the previews for the V30? LG has just decimated all competition in one shot. Especially the note 8!
Thats true lg did a fantastic job... but the price of this nokia is much cheaper...
Bothie appeard on HTC One M7 back in 2012, not many picked it up though.
I have a Nokia 8 with Oreo update. This phone is really made well. Only I wish bezels were smaller. Display is excellent. Camera really perform well after the update. Way better than my Galaxy s6. Music quality is average. Headphone supplied is poor with lot of hissing noise. Phone is very fast. Portrait photos are excellent. This is a good value for money
I have always been a nokia fan for a long time now before i switch to the Samsung galaxy s6 plus. However the Nokia 8 is a good decent phone very well built to. However the nokia 8 can not compete to its bigger rivals like the galaxy s9 plus or even the iphone X. But have to say it good to see nokia back love you nokia 8.
Finally Nokia is Back
👍👍
👍👍
I love seeing Sofia Bulgaria on your preview.
Nokia 8 is very good, but as a Nokia old fan, I was expecting more from Nokia especially the build quality & Design , the sound and the camera of course, well lets hope that Nokia 9 will meet our expectation
Good review! Will are such a cutie! New fan here :p
Best Review Ever
Cool review! Love it!
Kuya will, Kung napanood mo yung teardown ni jerryrigeveything, i'm sure hindi mo na babanggitin yung phrase na lets not forget thst it was the 6000 series aluminum that started the bend gate. No! It was apple who started the bendgate. It has nothing to do with the aluminum alloy that was used.
Nice review! Why don't you do the durability test too?
"it's better than Sony Xperia xz premium and the lg g6" wow! I am impressed with that statement! I am between buying the nokia 8, Sony Xperia xz premium and lg g6 as my secondary device! I think I will go for the Nokia!
I like almost everything about this phone. Love that it's a 16:9 screen because a lot of apps (especially you, Snapchat) seem to not be optimized for 18:9 or higher screens so the apps will be misaligned. So annoying.
A few small things I don't like about this phone (but not dealbreakers) are having the headphone jack on top, not having a front-facing LED flash and Google Photos. I absolutely LOATHE that app. I hope Android goes back to the regular simple Gallery app for future models.
Also, one thing I'd like to see come back is the small notification light. Such a useful feature.
Does anyone know if you can remove the Google search bar from the desktop? My BLU XL4 won't let me get rid of it.
You like an action movie star from '80 especially with that music.
look great tbh! This might be my next purchase!!
I am still using my Nokia 8 phone which is solid in its performance...
Well done nokia!!!
this guy really reminds me of Fez from That's 70's Show :p nice review btw.

Thanks for the video. Can you please tell us if there's some kind of brink around the display. It looks like that. That will make it hard for mobile gaming.
Awwwwesssomme sir.....
Amazing review.....

Mentioned detailed information.
Ow"" i miss you so much my baby nokia 8.
This video made me thankful I have a Nokia 6 which has many similarities to the Nokia 8, but I admit the Nokia 8 has *_some_* major differences

I would like to see a bezzeless nokia flagship phone in the future.

0:13
Thanks for the review. @ 2:25 what game are was playing?
I am in doubt which to choose, Nokia 8 or Huawei Mate 9 because here in my country the price is similar. Can you help me?
Coming from my Lumia 950, I wish it had qi wireless charging, maybe in the Nokia 10...
The leagend come back..come on mobile superb
I love that they focused on chipset rather than design, but still i like the design though
Me too, very compact
70s porn music ftw
More like every 70's cop shows music tbh
Rentta arent they the same?
+Rentta more like 70's EVERYTHING music! : l
Is that what porn music sounds?
Boss Is Back 👌👌❤♥️❤👍👍
Samsung had the dual camera thing for a long time
But wasn't even official
Hello sir What is the Model number/Variant in this video?
What happened to Nokia? The Nokia 6 was made of aluminium with stereo speakers, albeit with an underpowered processor. Then this Nokia 8, still one of the best phones I have owned with amazing video and sound capture. After this and the 7.1 they really lost there way. There is nothing that grabs me at the the moment and i switched to a Motorola that can't be beaten for price. I think they can't try for a 3rd time. How do they keep getting it so wrong and mis reading their market?
What's the 2nd game you played? Love it
Using Nokia 6,
And will definitely switch to Nokia 8 👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍
hussain bux what’s your review about nokia 8??
Oh i mean nokia 6
NOKIA IS MOVING FOWARD!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!
Hey I was at this concert. S.A.R.S. were great :D
How do I turn off the sound and vibration for all notifications?
good review
Does the device still need screen protection?
As it has high end spec, solid build, near pure android, and is upper mid-range price in my city (around 420 euro/510 USD, similar to the Huawai P10 by the way), I am very likely to get it to replace my iphone SE. One concern is that its camera is not as good as some competitors, so is it a good choice? (bezel is not a big concern to me)
Is the Nokia Lumia 1020 "Oversampling" camera technology coming in any of the new Nokia phones? The tech that compressed 41MP pictures into high-quality sharper 5MP picture.
Thanks, that was very important information for me. I was wondering who has the rights to the PureView technology - the original Nokia, Microsoft of HMD Global. Now, I know. I hope the new Microsoft mobiles with Windows Core OS perform better.
I want a Nokia with the Lumia 730 design..
I tottaly recomend this phone. Not only it has survived every time I droped it, today I was carrying one too many bags and didnt notice dropping my little purse that had only my Nokia 8 and a wallet in it and my boyfriend run it over with a car. And it survived. On one side screen poped out of the corpus but nothing cracked or bent or broke. So yeeeeey.
