  • Nice size and build, Affordable, Pure Android Oreo software, Plenty of power
  • Camera is a little slow, Red ghosting on display in night light, Average low light camera performance
  • HMD has global ambitions for the Nokia brand and while the markets in north American and Europe have been waiting for a flagship device to square up to the established players like HTC or Samsung, in developing markets, the company says its been happy wit...

  • Polished Copper colourway, Affordable, Comfortable to hold
  • (Slightly) dated design, Not sure how useful OZO audio is
  • We liked the Nokia 8 a lot, it's an attractive flagship with a number of interesting features, made even more tempting by a competitive price (€599 / approx. £550).We're looking forward to testing it further, to see whether it's software, camera and batte...

  • Abstract:  The N8 could well become 2011's videophone of choice. Last October saw the launch of a short film called The Commuter (directed by the up-and-coming McHenry Brothers and starring Pamela Anderson and Charles Dance), which was filmed entirely on a Nokia N8....

  • Good finish, design and handling, Takes very good photos with plenty of editing options, Audio and video quality, Phone and GPS: good network reception / free maps, FM radio and translitter, voice recorder, plenty of connections (HDMI)
  • Screen: poor colour fidelity, Symbian Anna interface: better but still quite convoluted, The OS could be more responsive and smooth
  • The N8 is great for multimedia, especially for taking photos. Although it has plenty of features and handy functions, the interface is still rather convoluted and isn't that easy to get the hang of. With the Anna update, Symbian has been slightly rejuv...

  Published: 2011-03-23, Author: Crowdedbrain , review by: crowdedbrain.co.uk

  • Abstract:  The Nokia N8 manages to encapsulate the same build quality of it's earlier generation series phones i.e the N95 8GB , but still manages to provide a sleek light weight shell adorned with plenty of consumer friendly touches such as a side mounted microSD c...

  Published: 2010-12-30, review by: digitalversus.com

  • Nice finish / handling, Very good camera, numerous retouching options, Audio and video quality, Telephone and GPS: good reception / free maps, FM tuner, dictaphone, rich connectivity
  • Screen: limited, inaccurate colours, Interface still too round the houses, Lack of responsiveness and fluidity (zoom, scrolling internet pages and so on)
  • The N8 has strong multimedia cards to play, particularly with the camera. With rich functionality, overequipped from a hardware point of view, its interface still isn't direct, logical or intuitive enough. Symbian has had a slight facelift - we'd been ...

  • Superb camera, Great build, AMOLED screen is bright and colourful
  • Symbian^3 is limited, no Android killer, Needs a higher-res display, No native DivX support
  • Photos looked sharp and detailed, with the automatic exposure and white balance controls doing a commendable job of delivering natural-looking images with well-saturated, but natural looking, colours. The two-stage shutter button is a much, much better ac...
