Nokia 8.1 Review: a classy mid-range operator

The Nokia 8.1 is a classy mid-range smartphone that feels more premium in the hand than almost every phone at this price point. Read the full review!

Much-improved performance ; Great selfie camera ; 3,500 mAH battery ; Ships with Android 9 Pie

No wireless charging ; Still no IP rating ; No LED notification

The Nokia 8.1 is a classy mid-range smartphone that feels more premium in the hand than almost every phone at this price point. The Android One software is a big bonus for this device, and for fans of stock Android looking for the Pie experience, it...

Nokia 8.1 Review | Trusted Reviews

Nokia 8.1 review: Nokia's back with another Android One phone. Unfortunately, with lacklustre performance the Nokia 8.1 ultimately disappoints.

The Nokia 8.1 has many of the same shortcomings as the Nokia 7.1, but now with a higher price tag.

Android One software ; Good camera experience ; Smooth operation

Confusing notch situation ; Vertical display polariser ; Slippery finish ; Poor speakers ; Overpriced in today's market

The Nokia 8.1 has a lot going for it, but it's still an odd phone. The design is generally good - apart from its inability to stay on a shelf - and we like the camera experience. But it's a phone that feels too expensive compared to the rest of the...
