The best phone at good price
Phone owned for less than a month

Nokia 8 is the best high-end smartphone at good price.
It has dual 13 MP rear camera and 13 MP front camera.
2K display and it's protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
Operating system is newest stable Android 8.1 Oreo.
With fast CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 multitasking is very easy and quick.
And also with fast GPU Adreno 540 gaming is so fantastic.

With a better camera, it would have been the perfect phone
Phone owned for less than a year

Switched from a Microsoft Lumia 950, after Microsoft decided to abandon Windows 10 Mobile. The change was easy considering they kept the button placements like they are on Windows phones. It works flawlessly, the only issue is the camera and the camera app. They are way below average.

great Phone for a quite reasonable price
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Nokia (or better HMD Global) is back with a great Non-nonsens Smartphone. Fast, versatile and user friendly with a more than reasonable battery life. And last but not least with adequate pricing (half of other brands flagship)!
