Up to 2-days charge with Adaptive Battery1
Turn on the Adaptive Battery feature on Android 9 Pie for longer-lasting power. It learns how you use your Nokia 8.1, limiting battery usage for the apps you don’t use often. Plus, enjoy powerful Fast-charging.
Flagship quality imaging and free unlimited photo storage
Take exceptional shots with the highly sensitive, industry-leading sensor on the 13MP + 12MP dual camera with ZEISS optics. A wide aperture captures sharper images even in low light, allowing longer exposure times that can be manually controlled with the Pro Camera mode. Even with shaky hands, the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) ensures crisp images and smooth Ultra 4K videos. Better still, get free unlimited high-quality storage with Google Photos for all your memories2.
AI-Advanced 20MP camera for selfies day or night
Take the ultimate night-time selfie with a camera that captures more light by combining four pixels into one super pixel. Add a professional touch to your portraits with studio-style lighting or artfully blur the background with the popular ‘bokeh’ effect. The auto-scene detection is also smart enough to fine-tune settings for you based on subject and lighting. Then unleash your creativity further by using both cameras simultaneously with #Bothies and 3D masks/filters.
Elegant European design with 6.18’’ Full-HD+ PureDisplay
Heralding a new era of precision craftsmanship with the strength of a 6000-series aluminium frame.

The Nokia 8.1 is a great midrange phone. I grabbed one last week because I desperately needed a phone for work. Then noticed it had dropped $100.
Went back into JB on Friday & explained the situation. They were happy to give me a gift card for the difference!
