      Why are you against choice for consumers? They just released an entry level phone with removable battery. Power to them, I say.

      The more choice for consumers, the better.

      I have a Nokia 7 plus, it's a really great phone. Runs on Android one and has all the features I need. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I needed a new phone.

      I got a nokia 8 for about $320 about a month ago and you know what, its really good value for money! Im not putting down Sony or Samsung or any popular smartphone company, but Im pretty sure you pay money to just have their logo on it. Where as Nokia you pay more for the product not the brand name thats why I choose Nokia :D

      • ozbjunkie on 18/07/2019 - 01:04

        Agreed, I got the Nokia 8 about a year ago for 400ish and it's basically as good as a flag ship for half the price (except for the camera, but idgaf).

        PS if you ever get weird shimmering or shaking effect with the back camera, it's the image stabilisation spazzing out. Shake the phone, hard, for 2 seconds, and the image will be still and clean.

        Weird fix I know. No other fix I've found.

    • bargain_knight on 17/07/2019 - 20:37

      I think Microsoft sold the brand to Foxconn.

      • Murpha on 17/07/2019 - 21:10
        +6

        Nokia brand used under license by fellow Finnish company, HMD Global Oy. A lot of Nokia's ex-employees from the phone division make up the work force. Production is outsourced to Foxconn who's other major customers include Apple, Dell, Microsoft, Google, Sony, etc.

        Why all this waffling on? Just trying to challenge the misconceptions around Nokia. You get quality devices, fast updates and excellent support. The only thing missing is a true flagship…

        • Tyrx on 18/07/2019 - 06:58

          It's more accurate to state that the sales, marketing and distribution is outsourced to HMD Global. The devices are actually designed, made and updated by FIH, which is a Foxconn subsidiary - who also owns the Nokia IP. HMD is just the lipstick to make the devices appealing to Western consumers.

          • tranter on 18/07/2019 - 08:24

            @Tyrx: To suggest that FIH own the Nokia IP is not accurate. Parts of the Microsoft Mobile business were also sold to HMD including some rights. In any case, Nokia has always kept control of most of its IP.

            https://www.nokia.com/about-us/news/releases/2016/05/18/noki…

            There is also some recent news out that HMD is looking to use other manufacturers for some of its future phones, not just exclusively FIH. This suggests Nokia and HMD control most of the IP.

            FIH already owned significant technology and IP before the purchase of Microsoft Mobile, if that's what you mean.

    • Mister Popo on 17/07/2019 - 21:26

      This phone is apparently great for capturing raw photos, so if editing photos yourself is your thing, then it's a good phone camera.

  • GTR12 on 17/07/2019 - 21:40

    Just a heads-up, its an Android One phone, but the monthly security updates are NOT consistent.

    It could be the 5th of the month for updates or the 28th of the month. FYI, I still haven't received the July update.

      There's a recent review of the performance after updates linked at the bottom of the description

      • adrianhughes1998 on 18/07/2019 - 06:51

        Lmao. The Unlockr did a review of the phone after the updates and was honest about the fingerprint reader and other things still sucking, while Danny Winget just glossed over those. Paid promotion - of course.

        • harkoliar on 18/07/2019 - 09:46

          I watched the YouTube link. Regarding photography, he said even with updates, processing time after taking photos of raw + JPG is still slow. Limited to the processor and ram hardware. He mentioned future phones as they increase processing and hardware capabilities, perhaps would improve user experience.

          Basically the theory of the phone is ahead of its time. Maybe if they do the next release, they would fix all this phones shortcomings.

          • giventofly on 18/07/2019 - 11:37

            @harkoliar: I think it's there, but they used last years SoC. Should have had an 855, but I suspect it would've increased the cost of the phone too much (or they couldn't get their hands on it because of the Galaxy S10)

            • adrianhughes1998 on 18/07/2019 - 17:40

              @giventofly: For sure and it's not only S10 but Nokia don't sell well with their flagships so like with Nokia 8 they got last year's chips. Qualcomm isn't stupid.

          • adrianhughes1998 on 18/07/2019 - 17:39

            @harkoliar: Slow processing doesn't cut it in 2019. Lumia 1020 was in same boat and that didn't sell well either. If it's not ready for prime time then it shouldn't be released. As an overall package it hasn't gone well as a phone.

            The idea is there but some reviews have said that it does not even get remotely close to the advertised stops of extra light from the other cameras.

            Also the fact that Light signed a deal with Xiaomi and other companies to use Sony sensors to release multiple camera sensors on one phone, so other brands will do it better.

  • kehuehue on 18/07/2019 - 07:22

    feels like the whole RAW gimmick is an excuse not to implement image parameter optimisation and pass it on as a feature (do it yourself! :o )

  • dealsucker on 18/07/2019 - 08:43

    No OIS either. Could have spent the development money saved from bill of materials by not having 5 camera's at the back on turning the image parameters after the capture. Or easier still, used the same sensor as the latest pixels and let the XDA devs take care of porting the camera from Google. In its current state, unless you are type who captures RAW images on your phone to edit them later on your computer, its a pretty average phone which had lots of promise. By the way the RAW edit does not make it a DSLR competitor either, not even a RX100 for that matter.

  • echocae on 18/07/2019 - 09:52

          having no headphone jack isn't an issue for me, but it might be for others.

          • bigbadboogieman on 18/07/2019 - 19:04

            @giventofly: Yes for someone like me who has a wired headphone sitting at every desk I work on as part of accessories it would be a problem to not have a jack.

        is that the best you can come up with?

    • Ragoon on 18/07/2019 - 16:17

      Try:
      * Check your phone's app permissions to allow calls and anything else relevant for use with WhatsApp and wechat.
      * Check for android updates.
      * Re-install the apps.

      Your last options:
      * Backup and do a factory reset.
      * Your phone should be covered under the 2 year manufacturer warranty if issues still persist. Your phone and JB HiFi receipt is all you will need.

      I had to book in my Nokia 8 because my WiFi and cellular completely stopped working. The repair with JB HiFi is said to take up to 4 weeks or less at no cost.
