Bull****.am a Nokia 8 user it heats like hell while gaming and charging literally my friends started to make fun of my phone.it really sucks
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] GentlePhone:
Maybe a fault?

Honestly mine just gets slightly warm at best, my old phone would get too hot too touch doing anything intensive, never tried playing a game whilst charging tho
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] RICHARD.DREW:
I've found mine remarkably cool - yes it gets slightly warm on rapid charge, but I've never found it getting really hot like previous phones, even under intensive processing. If you find it getting very hot under normal use, try it without a case (some cases trap heat to a silly degree) and if you still have a problem I'd suggest getting the phone looked at. It's not a hot running phone.

All I can say is I miss the 950xl desperately after taking photos, the google camera helps a lot. weirdly some photos come out amazing, most don't
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] Mateus109:
My other half has a Nokia 8 and, compared to her Nokia 920, she claims the 8's camera is "really f***king sh*t!"

Photos seem terribly underexposed in automatic mode.

Has anyone had any better experience using a different camera app? Thanks.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] ben_linux:
I remember that 920 was really good, 925 better and 950 too, but Nokia 8 with GC is vastly superior compared to 920. You should install a well optimized apk on it, she'll be happy.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] Mateus109:
Thanks, but would you mind elaborating? :good:

e.g. BSG's MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk ? And with these settings: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nokia/comments/9023q4/google_camera_tuning_guide_for_nokia_8_2017/ :confused:

Try Cstark27 or Arnova versions of modded Google cam, you'll find them in this thread:

I use Cstark27 v3.5, it's really good, especially in low light conditions, though there are some issues with video recording. But for photos it's one of the best possible choices.

Colors is natural.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] shredzone:
Good, but not so good compared to the Nexus 5X. The photo tends to be a little to dark in the mid-tones, and does not seem to be very sharp.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] f2dog:
I think the camera really stinks.

The auto focus is slow, and taking pictures indoors is a waste of time.

Capturing anything moving is hopeless.

Came from a Galaxy S7, and compared to the old Samsung , the Nokia 8 falls apart at least at the camera.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] Skamath:
I tried the google camera yesterday and it seems to do a better job than Nokia stock camera. Pictures are sharper and heaps better with auto HDR+ always on.

[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] simon-sf:
Better one...
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] simon-sf:
Wierd, cant go exposure +1 seconds.

Maybe update will fix that.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] simon-sf:
Is the long shutter speed hardware limited?
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] srikanthuk:
Have a Galxy s6 right now. In a comparison between the Galaxy S6 and the Nokia 8 what would be better in the camera department

If the Indian version had 6GB RAM i would have gotten the phone immediately.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] simon-sf:
I think i cannot give neutral response for that...i say nokia, as you can see.

The native camera app is not so good but maybe oreo update will fix that i hope.

When using google camera port or opencamera the images are better than honor 8.

Lovely shot! According to Wikipedia the Nokia 8 contains the Sony IMX258 sensor which also features in the following devices:

List

Sony Xperia XA[117] (RGB only)

Meizu M3E[118]

Xiaomi Mi 4c[119] (RGB only)

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X[120]

Xiaomi Redmi Pro[121] (main rear camera, RGB only)

Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus (dual camera, RGB and Monochrome)[122]

Lenovo K6 Power (Rear)

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (rear)

Lenovo P2 (Rear) [123]

Nokia 8 (dual camera, RGB and Monochrome)

ZTE Nubia z17 mini (dual camera, RGB and Monochrome)

LG G6 (dual cameras; one is standard and one is wide-angle) [124]

LG G6 is a pretty decent shooter so fingers crossed Nokia can optimise especially since they did a great job with the Lumia series.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
Coming from a Moto G5 Plus the camera on the Nokia 8 is very impressive indeed, the default camera app is clunky but that will change in time i guess.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] srikanthuk:
Sadly the Oreo update did nothing to improve the focus performance. They really need to improve it faster.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] kunjar:
After looking at more sample pictures especially on Instagram (#nokia8) I'm leaning more towards a galaxy s8 rather than Nokia due to subpar images. I've also looked at samples from the #lgg6 which has the same Sony image sensor and equally doesn't produce as clear & sharp pictures as the galaxy range (although I'm aware Samsung oversaturates images).
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] ssrki:
Look for #nokia8 pictures on instagram, looks good
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] Toedwarrior:
Unfortunately Nokia 8 can't and will not be able to shot photos as good as Lumia devices cause pureview technology is in MS's hand. But which really frustrates me is that MS is not releasing a new phone and pureview technology is getting near to be forgotten.:crying:
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] Toedwarrior:
I shot this photo and uploaded to Instagram but in Instagram the quality is much more worse. If you want good photo quality phone you should look at Lumia 950. It still has the best photo quality (except white balance)

Depends on how you look at it. For me the "wrong" is that it takes worse pictures than my 2 year old Nexus 5X. The cameras should be getting better with time, not worse.

Now I have a dilemma, if the sensor is sony, then what is carl zeiss on Nokia 8? Optics?
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] celticchrys:
I'm pretty sure that Zeiss doesn't make sensors. Cameras that say "Carl Zeiss" are generally talking about the lens. Zeiss goes way back as a lens company. That's always been their specialty: lens design and clarity of the glass used in the lens. The company was founded by one Carl Zeiss, who was an optician, in he 1800s, and has made lenses of all types ever since, becoming more widely known later for their film camera lenses.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] zdravke:
Whatever it is, it's a piece of ****. After oreo update, camera is even bigger disaster than it used to be.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] shaunydub:
Sorry guys but the camera on this phone is just too bad and I am returning my Nokia 8.

As reported in another thread it cannot keep up with taking photo's with even the smallest part of motion.

I have tried other camera apps but still it is not acceptable, the low light performance I could live with but as a new father nearly every shot of my daughter is coming out blurred...I have a cheap ass Blackview phone that I keep my 2 UK sims in and that can take photo's of the same scenes with zero blur.

My old Nokia 920 got dusted off and no blur their either.

And besides that I shouldn't need to try workarounds with other camera apps or forked Google Camera releases on a flag ship.

I loved the old Nokia and hoped this would perform in the same way but sadly it's let me down despite the Zeiss stamp of approval.

It is a real shame because I love everything else about this phone but the one thing I need it to excel at and it's getting pissed on by 5 year old or cheap ass phones.

I did read about poor performance in reviews before I got the N8 but hoped software updates would help, alas nothing yet.

I hope HMD can improve the camera and I can come back to Nokia one day but for now I will wait and see.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] kingpenguin001:
I am not sure what's going on with the camera.

The focus is not just correct. It's not working the way it needs to work.

Anyone facing this problem.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] GentlePhone:
focus is weird, on the 950xl I had I would say 9 times out of 10 its a perfect shot without even trying

on this I would say 3 times out of 10 it comes out really surprisingly well when your doing your best to hold your hands as steady as possible, even you don't try to hold it steady 0 out of 10 times a good shot

one thing I will say, if your taking a photo of a car interior and there is some dust it will be of epic quality, then exterior shots it just doesn't know what to focus on

Honestly, after a week I'm just increasingly disappointed with the camera each and every time I use it, I imagine compared to most photos its not bad, anyone from a 1020/920/950 who's forced to go android is going to be very disappointed.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] supera3:
Try gcam port , is an amazing camera app
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] GentlePhone:
That's with gcam! It is truly amazing the difference it makes, but I find low light photos so noisy compared to what I've been used to for years. Its like cars, never get the one with the extra toys as you miss things you've gotten used too

the stock camera app is almost laughably bad, makes me wonder what the 950xl can do if it was opened up to developers

I should of been concerned when instore the nokia 7.1 took a better photo.... I assumed as the instore one wasn't updated the camera would be better! I couldn't accept the 'inferior' device being actually better, I guess when the 8 cost less than the 7.1 it should of been a clue...

I was drawn to the 835 cpu over the 7.1 and the fancier looking phone... I must admit everything else is excellent on the phone for what it is.

Tried to attach an image to see if anyone things its acceptable, or if i'm being overly fussy, this is one of the better night shots I've taken, resized them small enough to add but the quality is not that far off the original
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] fathuzzaman:
I agree, it's below expectation. Especially with moving object. For still image, it's quite good, and gcam make it even better. However with moving object, not even gcam can cure it.
[Nokia 8 Real Life Review] Macedonicus:

The fingerprint sensor being inaccurate is another area I see reviews criticising this phone and another area I beg to differ.

Now I'm getting over 6 hours in exactly the same conditions.

Airplane mode and battery saver when I'm sleeping

I think battery's performance is very good
