Nokia 8.1 overview and Summary

Nokia 8.1 Design

HMD Blobal seems to have found the magic beans when it comes to designing the smartphones. As we have seen in the post with the Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 7.1, the company has upped its design game. The Nokia 8.1 is no different as this is a seriously well-designed smartphone. It blends glass, metal, curves, aluminium seamlessly to give you a phone that's really good looking.

The frame of the phone has Series 6000 aluminium and it's a refreshing change from all the gradient combinations we have seen with other smartphones. This a sturdily built smartphone which is surrounded by steel accents that give it a classy and premium look. Both the front and the back have 2.5D Gorilla Glass protection. The glass back is reflective but isn't prone to that many fingerprints and smudges.

Nokia 8.1 Display

Keeping in line with nokia 8.1, the Nokia 8.1 gets something called Pure Display screen. What this technology does is that it gives higher contrast and HDR10 Support. When compared to competition, this is a feature that HMD is touting the most as others don't have anything like that . On the 6.18-inch display which comes with FHD+ resolution, the Pure View tech does seem to add some sheen.

The Purview display works Quite well for all sorts of viewing. Be it streaming Netflix content or watching YouTube videos there is a sense of sharpness is the display.The colour reproduction is also much better than what we have seen on, say, the Poco F1 or the Vivo v11 .

The display works fine indoors but it is quite reflective when put under direct sunlight. Having said that the viewing angles are good and the while balance is also pretty apt.

Nokia 8.1 Performance

After the PureView display, the other feature that have been talked about is the processor that powers the Nokia 8.1 The phone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 710 which is a new chipset and the only other phone to have it on board is the .

The processor more than the display in the highlight of the Nokia 8.1 as it is fast and makes the phone a worthy but. The processor is what makes the Nokia 8.1 'flagship' as you can't have any complaints about its performance. At the heart of the Snapdragon 710 is an octa-core chipset with a clock speed of 2.2GHz. Nokia 8.1 comes with 4GB variant and if you're just going by the space on the paper then you'll be surprised. The processor coupled with 4GB ram does as good a gob as a 6GB ram phone would do.

Nokia 8.1 Camera

Before we delve into the camera performance, let's get the specs out of the way. Nokia 8.1 features a 12MP primary sensor that comes with 1.4 micron pixel and f/1.8 aperture. The secondary camera at the back is a 13MP camera. The front camera is a 20MP sensor for the selfie brigade.

Nokia 8.1 Battery

There's a 3500MAH battery in the Nokia 8.1 which manages to deliver reliable performance. Nokia claims that can last up to two days because of the chipset and using certain Android Pie features. In Our usage, the phone easily lasted over a day with heavy usage and with moderate it did work for close to two days. The phone does support fast charge tech but isn't as fast as say the One Plus or Oppo R17.

Nokia 8.1 Verdict

When we reviewed the Nokia 8.1 Sirocco, we had said that the biggest blunder HMD Global made was with its pricing. With the 8.1, it hasn't completely rectified that mistake as at Rs 26,999, this is a phone on the higher side. Considering when you have Poco F1 which on paper offers a faster processor at a much lesser price. Having said that, the Nokia 8.1 has all the ingredients to be a crowd pleaser. It has got the looks, a really good display and a processor that delivers more than competent performance.
