    • [Deactivated] on 14/11/2018 - 17:09

      Even though one or more countries may be mentioned herein, this Warranty is only applicable in the country where the Product was purchased through Manufacturer’s authorised sales channels, provided that the Product was intended for sale in that country (“Covered Country”).

      As such Hong Kong warranty applies.

      12 months as far as I can see.

          The OW site says it doesn't have dual sim but, from what I can see, it looks like it's the exact same model as on the eglobal site. Is there an Australian variation without dual sim?

          Edit: Turns out Australian variant has no dual sim.

          • TrafalgarSean on 14/10/2018 - 17:44

            @Theycott: But does it still have the expandable memory? Or does that go in the second sim spot?

            • Theycott on 14/10/2018 - 18:09

              @TrafalgarSean: It does have expandable memory but it must be through a microsd slot.

    Does either company include gst and tax invoice for TRS ? Better warranty?

    • zrmx on 14/10/2018 - 18:21

      In that case, if Catch gift cards work with Catch Marketplace purchase, then it can potentially be $314.82 if you pay with 10% discounted gift cards.

          Yep, same boat as you.

          Not really remote but regional NSW ( less than 50 Klm each way from large city centres on the North Coast ) and they always try to charge me around $48 for regular shipping, even to outer Brisbane suburb/edge of Sunshine Coast too.

          That's why I have often been tempted to buy cheaply from here, but stopped myself because of my high shipping costs.

            @ozhunter68: Perhaps get it shipped to a friend/relative. Even if they stuck it in an express satchel and sent it on it would still be cheaper.

      • LaScrooge on 14/10/2018 - 18:07

        Maybe I didn’t hit the wrong one then. Bizarre. I’m in Tasmania but still, hardly regional to justify the extra cost.

      • HandsomeMonkey on 15/10/2018 - 10:11

        Darwin suburban is also $48.

    Any one owned new Nokia phones can shed some light on its overall performance

    • wishcresp on 14/10/2018 - 22:47
      +4

      I bought a Nokia 7 plus recently. Nokia is known for very well built, sturdy phones and their new models are no exception. Software wise, they could use some improvement.

      They recently rolled out Android Pie and it is full of minor bugs. Stuff like the status bar flashing sometimes when unlocking, the custom lock-screen text not showing up and certain developer options not being able to be toggled.

      The Nokia OZO audio is really impressive in the main camera app, however it can only be used there. All other applications are not optimised for the microphone setup and end up defaulting to the phone call microphone at the bottom of the phone. This mic is comparatively very quiet and results in recordings in Snapchat and other third party camera/audio apps being very soft.

      I've also found the headphone jack to be unreliable to the point that I am considering buying a usb-c adapter. Sometimes it sounds fine, sometimes the audio quality drops and it sounds quite bad.

      I've heard many instances of people having Bluetooth connection issues, but mine has been fine so far.

      Other than these issues, my phone has been fantastic so far and I certainly don't regret my purchase.

      • skidexa on 17/10/2018 - 08:01

        The headphone jack seems to be a common issue with the Nokia phones. How bad is the problem? This would almost be a deal breaker for me as I listen to music off the phone a lot

        • wishcresp on 17/10/2018 - 10:15

          I've discovered it's not actually a hardware issue with the headphone jack, but rather a software issue. I updated to Pie almost straight after getting the phone, so I'm not sure if the issue was introduced with the update or whether it was also on Oreo.

          I initially thought it was a bug caused by my extensive use of Google Text to Speech for listening to books. Text to speech uses a low audio quality/bit rate mode which I thought was getting stuck on and was affecting audio through other apps hours later, making them sound low quality/fuzzy. However, it seems to be a more general audio management issue, maybe due to prioritising audio streams.

          If you use MX Player for watching videos, you can see what I am talking about in action by switching the decoder between HW, HW+ and SW. Seemingly randomly, some settings will sound fine and others will sound bad.

          If my music player sounds bad, I've found unplugging my headphones and force-stopping the app fixes it. It also doesn't start sounding bad on its own, it only happens when I am switching between multiple apps that play music/audio.

          I've record some audio samples if you want more of an idea of how it sounds. I used a cheap adaptor to record it to PC so it sounds better in person. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16H6LUwAy4_X2_h_aJJ-j…

          • skidexa on 17/10/2018 - 18:49

            @wishcresp: Thanks for the reply. I'm hoping to pricematch it with Officeworks and if I do have a problem then I can take it back

    • imcold on 15/10/2018 - 00:59

      This is for the Nokia 6.1

      Hmm it's sort easy to press the speaker on button with your ear especially when you use other apps during a call.

      WiFi Hotspot will go off automatically when not used for a period but will still show it being on. You have to unlock the phone before the Hotspot returns.

      Also it got really hot whilst charging enough for the phone to shutdown. Only occurred once so maybe it was a random bug. Or maybe don't rest the phone on top of a battery bank when charging.

  • bmerigan on 14/10/2018 - 19:14

    Great phone. Had mine 10 months. Grey import.
    Just had to buy an Aussie QC3 charger, got a Blitzwolf one.

    • xoom on 14/10/2018 - 19:25

      So it doesn't come with a qc3 charger? Or the one included just had a us plug?

          This. I don't like the adapters, the plug tends to hang out from the wall too far.

        • xoom on 17/10/2018 - 18:50

            Been running a few comparisons between this and a few other phones. Exactly what you said, seems liek its only slightly behind most 2017 phones but half the price. I think I'll get it.

      LG G4's camera is not that great anyway, especially in low light. This Nokia 8 is certainly an upgrade. Nokia upgraded the camera's software a few months ago so it's now a lot better. Be aware of this when reading old comments on the web.

    I bought this phone 6 months ago and have found it to be well worth the money. I paid more than this deal but still happy with the price. Screen is great in the sun and the camera takes good pictures. It has an issue with the screen when the phone is plugged in to charge. The touchscreen gets a bit wonky. Returns to normal when not charging. I got a grey import that came with a UK plug. No issues, just bought a travel adapter and fast charge works well. Google pay works fine. Used tap and pay in plenty of shops in Oz.

      But a post above indicates pie is coming. That'll do me.

    • ashtyn on 14/10/2018 - 22:41

      I thought all Nokia phones (that are more capable than Android Go requirement) are part of Android One, as per this report. But looking into the Nokia 8 spec page doesn't show it has Android One, which 8 Sirocco has. Nokia 8 doesn't receive pie beta AFAIK. Maybe that indicate it's not Android One (yet?).

      Anyway, speaking on Android One, I expected better. I thought stock means more timely OS update, due to less bloatware to update. It turns out to be security update only though. Better than nothing I guess.

      • bmerigan on 16/10/2018 - 20:57

        Android One wasn't around when Nokia 8 was made (I think). It comes with an almost stock version of Android. Get monthly updates and have been on Oreo for about 6 months, Pie coming in November.

          I use my phone to take photos I want to keep sometimes. So i bought an htc 10. It was around $500 at the time. Good value for the camera.

          $400 gets you what? If you want a clean android experience, get an android one cheapy. i think mi a2 is android one. Should be around $300.

          $500 will get you a flagship from 2007. mi mix 2s has one of the best cameras in its price range. should be around $500.
