Nokia 8 price, specs, review 價錢、規格及用家意見

Since selling off its Lumia range of phones to Microsoft in 2014, Nokia smartphones have been notably absent from the high-end smartphone market. Now it's back with an Android-powered flagship, called the Nokia 8. Though Nokia 8 isn't the first Android smartphone the company made, the 8 has a premium handset that's set to compete with the likes of the iPhone and Galaxy S8.

Is the Nokia 8 good?

It offers a lot of features you'd expect from a great device with a retro name. There's a good camera setup, some fun features such as the #Bothie mode and the phone is well designed with a gorgeous QHD display on the front. Here's what makes the Nokia phone good:

Design and Key Features

The first thing you'll spot is the 5.3in, 2560 x 1440 display on the front. That resolution amounts to a pixel-perfect density of 554ppi, and Nokia has wisely opted to protect it with Gorilla Glass 5. It's an aluminium unibody design with metal edges, but while the back is metal too, the feel on the rear will depend on which finish you opt for. Available in blue, steel, polished, copper finish. The body of the phone is thin, coming in at 7.9mm at its thickest point, but the edges curve down, so it sits comfortably in your hand.

The phone has a max brightness of 663cd/m2, which makes your phone's display easily viewable even in glaring sunlight. If you want your regular video to look great, the super-bright and high-resolution display on the Nokia 8 will be a great fit for you. It's accessible with a fingerprint sensor.

Performance and Battery Life

Under the hood, the Nokia 8 has what you'd expect from a modern flagship smartphone. There's Qualcomm's processor onboard- the Snapdragon 835 partnered with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage (expandable up to 256GB via microSD).

The battery in the phone is a relatively modest 3,090mAh unit, but with the Snapdragon chipset, it'll hold pretty well in terms of battery. On top of that, Nokia has included a liquid cooling system that means the phone shouldn't get too hot and won't burn out the battery very quickly. It also supports Quick Charging but there's no wireless charging option.

Camera

Much like most of the major phones in 2017, Nokia has opted for a dual-sensor array. You'll find a Zeiss-branded dual-camera setup, one being a monochrome f/2.0 13-megapixel sensor, and the other a 13-megapixel bog-standard RGB sensor. The two work in tandem, with the monochrome sensor capturing detail and the RGB sensor capturing colour.

One particularly intriguing feature is what Nokia is calling a "bothie": the ability to take pictures with both the front and the rear camera simultaneously. It's a neat little addition and a feature that is perfectly suited for Facebook and other Youtube live streams.

Is Nokia 8 waterproof?

The Nokia 8 isn't waterproof like the Samsung Galaxy S8 or iPhone 7, but it's splash-resistant at IP54, which means you'll be able to use it in the rain without having to worry about flooding the internals.

What is the Nokia 8 price in Hong Kong?

You can find the cheapest Nokia 8 price in Hong Kong from iPrice.com for around HK$2,550. The phone has a storage variant of 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.
