        For $250 I would pocket the change and get the mate 9. Also seems to support far more network bands, bigger screen . I loved my mate 7, would jump at a mate 9 for that price.

    It is a high end phone with top hardware at the time, but with a low price tag. Same chipset as the Samsung Galaxy S8. I've been using it for 10 months. Purchased for just under $500. I think it was cheap because Nokia was trying to lure back customers. It's their first batch of phones using Android.

    Pros: Fast chipset. No lag when playing games. Does not heat up as much as other phones during intense heavy load usage.
    Good screen, good resolution, nice display colour.
    Nokia release new Android versions fast compare to Samsung, LG … etc
    Good value for money!

    Cons: Photos taken by the phone are a bit dark. Colours are not as rich as Samsung flagships.
    Not water resistant.

    I'm now buying one as spare! Probably won't buy another phone again till 5G network is widely available.

  • taoz on 16/10/2018 - 20:30

    anyone have case/cover for this

        Build quality is ok.
        Screen looks decent.
        Came with a case.
        Included earphones though ok lacked bass but hey its cheap so wasnt expecting audiophile quality but its loud enough.

        Just going through the myriad of updates.

  • TurnipHead on 16/10/2018 - 22:55

    apologies if this is a little late to the party but after googling the seller, i think i'll wait for another deal.
    reviews are very hit and miss - items may arrive quickly, may take a lot longer than expected and/or require constant following up or may not arrive at all. warranty requires sending it back to HK at your own cost and may incur other fees as well.

    hopefully those that bought have better luck than some of the buyers from the UK! oh and toby's deal au (which is approx 340 delivered) is the same site apparently.

        full reception on central coast seems to be working great
        case is only a cheap hard shell it does not protect the screen
        glass is flush with the case
        updates took a while and there are multiple
        the fast charger comes with a crappy adapter and can be plugged in reverse hard to tell if plugged in correctly would not use
        good phone nice screen great price
        would maybe be a better deal for those that got office works to price match
        duel sim vs fast charger but still good

        • ozhunter68 on 23/10/2018 - 23:04

          You can get a decent Blitzwolf QC3 dual charger for around $15 delivered, so many would prefer the dual sim.

  • askme69 on 19/10/2018 - 11:38

    Well, both of my HTC EVO 10's have broken.

    Now the process of having to find all the accessories and boxes to try and send back as they (E-Global) have said if not complete, no warranty will be carried out.

    WTF is that.

    No more Chinese phones for me, only AU delivered.

    • ozhunter68 on 23/10/2018 - 23:27

      Oh man, that's bad news. I got really close to pulling the trigger a few times on same Evo 10. What went wrong with them, overheating problem maybe with that SD810 ???

      On a side note I went for a as new opened box stock local model ( Telstra unlocked ) HTC 10 through ebay for $200 and going great and has Oreo update since Feb.

      If it was not for being happy still with the HTC 10 I would go for this Nokia 8 as it is a really decent phone that will get Android 9 and updates with stock Android for over a year to come still.

  • grammarstickler on 19/10/2018 - 12:37

    Thanks OP, was in the market for a Moto G6, so was happy to jump on this deal for what is a better phone (for me at least).

  • skidexa on 20/10/2018 - 16:18

    Anyone else get officeworks to price match. Tried a few stores but couldn't. One guy said it was not identical as aus stock isn't dual sim.

    • taoz on 20/10/2018 - 22:26

      Aus stock is dual sim or sd
      According to the Manusl in the box anyway

      • skidexa on 21/10/2018 - 14:24

        According to other comments here, the Australian version doesn't have a dual sim variant. The girl at OW was going to price match it, but then another staff came around and pretty much said it wasn't identical :(

        • taoz on 21/10/2018 - 15:52

          Try a different store maybe. Not sure how it’s not. Instructions in it from officeworks have picture of 2 sims in manusl or 1 sim and sd

    Thought I'd share my experience as well. Ordered on the 16th, delivered today (BNE). Phone is heavy (comparing this to a Xiaomi MI5), has a fairly large lip and chin. Took an hour or so to update all the security patches etc. The phone is very responsive, switching between apps is fast, the camera is decent (took a few HDR shots of words from a distance and they were all legible upon zooming in.Took a few HDR shots of random objects in the office and the results were quite good with good details and color) and restarts were quick. The speaker is clear and loud enough for ringtones and music sounds decent. The speaker is bottom firing and it is possible to completely block out the sound by covering the speaker grill. The fingerprint sensor is accurate and works well although it is slower than the MI5 to unlock which doesnt really bother me. I work in the CBD, so cant really comment on the reception as it is excellent with full bars(4G). Browsing the net and youtube were a breeze as well. Opened multiple pages and was able to switch between them with ease. I am quite pleased with the phone and my initial impression is, for the price point it is a very capable phone and my mum will hopefully like it too.
    Also the price is now $300 before applying the code on the website.
    Thanks OP!

        As far as I am aware, from what I've read about the phone it supports 4G+4G. I have not tried it yet though.

      • StrayfireX on 28/10/2018 - 11:29

        "The Nokia 8 TA-1052 is Dual SIM 3G/4G meaning that one SIM rests on 4G LTE whilst the second rests on 3G HSPA+. However, should a phone call come through, the Nokia 8 will lose the ability to use the inactive SIM while the call takes place."

        Do it. The nokia 8 has band 28. Bigger and better res screen. Expandable memory slot.

        Newer faster cpu.

        Nokia is a year newer than mi5s.

      • summit on 24/10/2018 - 09:10

        I've been hesitating……I got a blue one for my wife before it went back up to $400 and she is really liking it so far. The screen looks good, the camera seems decent too for this price.

        I was looking at getting an S8 or V30+ but this is now less than half the price. Don't think I can justify spending an extra $300 now.

        • meego on 24/10/2018 - 09:16

          I understand exactly how you feel. I pulled the trigger and got another one yesterday @ $309. Go for it mate. Its a decent phone at a very good price.

Not sure if it has B28, I'm with Optus and now shows only 4G, in my old phone it usually shows LTE+. Other Sim is 3G only. I have downloaded the "Network Cell Info Lite", it always show as connected to B3.

    • kmish on 07/11/2018 - 13:39

      Hey mate, I'm copy/pasting this from optus's website

      1. Access your mobile's 'Network', 'Carrier' or 'Cellular' selection settings
      2. When presented with a list of available mobile networks, manually select any network other than Optus
      3. After a few moments you'll receive an error stating something like "Can't connect to selected network". Your mobile is now fully 'logged off' from all connection sessions with the Optus Network.
      4. Once you've received the error: Reselect the original 'Automatic' or 'Default' network selection setting, don't manually reselect Optus' Network.
      5. Your mobile, after a few moments will 'log back in' to the Optus Network with a refreshed connection session
      6. To complete the session refresh, switch your mobile off then on again
