I can say all the current Nokia smartphones don't sound good with 3.5mm jack... not like the old Lumia phones. That I am missing a lot.

[@TheChazas]

11:30 what is that video playing? feels like I have seen it and loved it.Great review of a great phone, sadly they renamed it for releasing globally just to increase its price tag, while X7, 7.1 Plus absolutely the same phone was around 250 dollars. Flagship price tags these days became not worth it, cameras are not that superior when compared, only a few have superb cameras and are worth it. Other aspect is Hi-Res music playback with build in DAC/Amp, other than that paying 1000+ for a phone became absurd for getting just a minor updates every year on a hardware.

[@bharatvlogs8572]

What a Review...Well Done

[@bensgtm8001]

Great video! By the way the screen resolution is actually 1080 by 2246

[@ritambairagi3021]

Does the haptic feed back for the fingerprint can be truned off??

[@GowthamV07]

Zenphone 5z is same price at 25k with 845 processor , wide color gammut display , dual speakers , face unlock like iphone , hidable guesture navigation , Android P also updated in 5z now. So under 25k price i think 5z is a better buy due the processor and extra software features.

Do you know which LTE bands it supports? I could not find this info online for the India variant (I saw the supported bands for the Taiwan variant). The 8.1 is not being sold in my country so I am looking at buying it from India, Taiwan or the Middle East.

[@techgeek1601]

Nokia phones have been the beauty queen in the budget segment.

[@unclesam6764]

Budget, are you kidding yourself

[@mpessi6288]

Fuck ur algorithm jerk😡

[@EntertainerOnline]

Hey friends, Not any blind fan of Nokia but I'll tell you why Nokia is pricey. 1.Nokia Has Premium Build Quality even better than many flagships. 2.Nokia gets its phones manufactured from FoxConn which is the same company that manufactures iPhones. 3.Also,I know camera software is bad on Nokia but the hardware of camera is too good,that adds to the cost too. Also please don't compare Nokia with companies like Xiaomi,Realme etc. These manufacturers compromise a lot in hardware of the phone. Xiaomi shows advertisment in phone UI and still uses microusb port plus they use that same shitty metallic design. Nokia has type-c and premium glass build even in Nokia 5.1 plus(probably the only phone in that budget to offer these things).

[@shrijanghosh2492]

This phone is priced at 27000 and offers eMMC storage whereas Zenfone 5Z at Rs 30000 offers ufs 2.1 which is a better form of storage!

[@shrijanghosh2492]

@@sanjaytoppo9830 I am using the Zenfone 5z since it's release and believe me the amount of updates they have sent not only to the 5z but other Asus phones have addressed a lot of concerns that we had, if you doubt me you can check the updates on the asus website!

[@shrijanghosh2492]

@@sanjaytoppo9830 Also I would like to bring your attention to Android one, it is a software which is devoid of any customisations, you don't even have option to hide notch, plus you get a Snapdragon 710 in the nokia vs 845 in the 5z. The Smart Lock face recognition is shitty as it opens even if you show a photograph or try to unlock with your eyes closed. I know this because I also own a Mi A2

[@sudheeshmohan4357]

You can use Google Camera with Nokia. It creates wonders!

[@sovanpaul4459]

LMAO POCO, asus 5z are much better than nokia 8.1 apart from the sd 845 both the phones have ufs 2.1 storage... do you even have any idea what does that mean???Lol nokia fanboys and their explanation is hilarious.... oh not only that both the phones have great camera... only idiot will consider buying nokia 8.1 than other two...

But is the phone actually splash resistant though? Is it safe in light rain or accidental spills? Have you had any further camera updates to improve stabilization (EIS) when recording 1080p @60fps for both the front & rear cameras and improve sharpness, contrast & dynamic range? Colour accuracy and brightness above average? Speakers loud and clear enough to know it is ringing when you are out & about?

Is the charger provided a fast charger? I am asking this because when the phone is charging , it says only "charging" instead of "charging rapidly" and it takes about 1hour 45 mins for full charge.
