What customers say about "Display"

Nokia 8

The display is very good and the colours a vivid and the camera makes good picture.
It struck me beautiful design, especially with shiny effect. And the display was generally amazing.
The screen has an excellent oleophobic coating, plus the glass itself is such that the finger glides nicely across the display.
In the automatic brightness adjustment mode, the screen has a brightness of up to 700 nits, which is not a record, but good.
The Nokia 8 has no user option to adjust the display white balance.

Nokia 7 Plus Sim-Free Smartphone - Black/Copper

Awesome phone, great display, built like a tank.
The screen is a huge improvement over my OnePlus 2, the colours pop (perhaps a bit too much, it seemed over saturated at first but I've gotten used to it) and I like the 18:9 screen as I read a lot of web pages.
The screen doesn't have a notch which is a big plus for me. The screen is crisp and has good viewing angles too.
Huge 6 inch screen which is bright and vibrant without being overly saturated.
Great for media consumption thanks to its large high quality HD+ screen, large memory capacity and long lasting battery.

What customers say about "Processor"

Nokia 8

Excellent performance in games and when working in applications. Using the whole day I did not notice any deterioration in work.
The processor shows amazing data. I am very glad that I bought this phone because I can play without any delay.
The processor shows good performance in applications and games.
The bad points in my opinion is that though this has a very fast processor the phone seems to lag for a few seconds more than it should when on the Internet etc.
A year later, I noticed that in demanding games the back cover heats up. Very bad.

Nokia 7 Plus Sim-Free Smartphone - Black/Copper

Great stock software and powerful Snapdragon 660 which is battery efficient. It's the full package.
It handles multitasking well and I often have 30+ apps running in the app switcher.
I've played some PUBG mobile and it is very smooth at medium settings and it doesn't thermal throttle with extended play which is more than good enough for me.
Snapdragon 660 processor and 4GB of ram. I haven't noticed a single moment of slowdown whilst using the phone at all.
Processor is not good enough even for normal daily use. Don't install any app for fluent use.

What customers say about "Camera"

Nokia 8

Dual-sensor rear camera with interesting software. It's taking amazing photos.
Software and camera are both also great. Definitely worth buying.
Camera is decent. Good light conditions give some really nice results.
Again I have used the nokia help line as i had a problem with not being able to get the video camera to work.
Camera could be better. Blurry pictures unfortunately.

Nokia 7 Plus Sim-Free Smartphone - Black/Copper

Decent camera and great build quality and look and feel overall.
The camera is very decent for a smart phone camera. The photos have a surprising amount of latitude but sometimes render over sharpened.
Nice camera features, no lag, perfect for a day to day usage.
Camera is very good, better than my old 1050 which back in the day was the single best phone camera.
Camera not as good as I had hoped, colours and clarity not as good as Samsung.

What customers say about "Features"

Nokia 8

Nokia carry on making phones like this with the clean operating system I will be buying only Nokia from now on.
The headphone jack is superb, it allows you to listen to music without any interference.
I was very pleased with the quick charge of the device. Now I don’t think about how much longer I have to wait until fully charged.
All the phone functions are repeated. It’s a pity that there are no hugely unique features.
I was very upset when I found out that this phone is not waterproof.

Nokia 7 Plus Sim-Free Smartphone - Black/Copper

The fingerprint scanner is fast and accurate and I really love the placement on the back which has proven to be very natural.
So far it's been perfect. Fast unlocking with fingerprint, charges quickly, lasts longer than all day, snappy response to all my apps, sounds good with headphones.
It's super responsive and the fingerprint scanner works very quickly and has removed the most annoying thing about my old phone; entering the pin code.
The fingerprint sensor is fast and accurate. Sound quality is also good and loud enough though dual-speakers would have been nice.
Rear mounted fingerprint sensor- very accurate. Nothing extra-ordinary here though.

What customers say about "Power"

Nokia 8

When using the device for calls within an hour, browsing the web, communicating in instant messengers and social networks, it is enough for one light day.
Regarding the battery, I can only say positive that for the entire time of use the phone has never been discharged completely and the battery has not heated up.
Great battery. With moderate use, enough for a day, and sometimes more.
Unfortunately, the HMD Global does not even indicate approximate operating modes and the expected time in each of them with a fully charged battery.
I was very upset when I found out that there was no wireless charging.

Nokia 7 Plus Sim-Free Smartphone - Black/Copper

It is an excellent phone, the battery life is great which is really important for me.
Battery life is incredible, i'm getting between 5 and 6 hours of screen on time.
The battery is large, the camera does its job, the screen is ok, the build quality is excellent.
The battery life surprisingly long even when doing consuming activities like Sat Nav or watching videos.
The camera is too slow to start and below the quality I expected.
