    I have a nokia 8 and its amazing, flagship specs for under $500 when I got it, was getting tired of shitty xiaomis.

    I can confirm I use google pay on mine all the time so it must have NFC

      i just bought xiaomi mi a2 yesterday from eglobal, hopefully good enough, although the specs in this looks a lot better.

      • stonkered on 13/02/2019 - 09:21

        The A1, A2 is a good product line from Xiaomi, they have a more premium feel than the Redmi Note line. You will be happy I would think.

        • Godgodgod on 13/02/2019 - 15:54

        Unless you want NFC which is missing in their low-mid range phones, since it isn't as popular in India/China.

    How's the camera and build quality? Looking for a sub-$400 phone to last for a few years… just need it to be solid and have a decent camera and be less than 5'5 inches.

    I currently have an Xperia XZ in my cart on ebay…

    • tranter on 11/02/2019 - 21:25
      +2

      I don't own the phone but I believe the camera was initially poor. However following the recent Pie update it has improved.

      Hopefully somebody can confirm.

      • Rage Roze on 13/02/2019 - 13:54
        +2

        I got the Pie update & well it fixed a lot of issues I had with it but the Camera app was not updated for Pie. It's crashes sometimes on Pie & now there's duplicated icons at top.

        What's sad about it, is there's unreleased pie build that fixes & updates camera app but HMD pretty much abandoned Nokia 8 at this moment since its out of year cycle & only releases barebone andriod updates for it.

        If camera is important, you're better with newer budget Nokia but if not this is bargain considering this is 128gb model

        • tranter on 14/02/2019 - 09:08

          Thanks. So you don't think it will get updates to fix the camera?

          That's what stopped me from buying. The Nokia 8 was released 18 months ago already and probably limited updates going forward.

          • Rage Roze on 15/02/2019 - 14:52

            @tranter: Yeah, we'll be lucky if the fix comes with 9.1. The camera app is so behind from newer Nokia's andriods & it's long due. The last time it was updated was at June 2018 for adding Pro camera mode which should've been there at start.

    • bmerigan on 11/02/2019 - 21:52
      +5

      Comparing my Nokia 8 to my wife's Sony, I can advise you that a Sony comes with HEAPS of Sony apps pre-installed that you can't remove. It would bother me.
      My Nokia 8 recently updated to Android 9. Has been great.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/02/2019 - 21:59

        Thanks man, appreciate it. How about the quality? Does it feel solid? Does it feel like it is likely to break?

        • grizzle on 12/02/2019 - 07:28
          +2

          Build quality is good. Nice aluminium body. I've had mine (TA-1052 version) for a year, I don't use a case and no major signs of wear. Back can be a bit slippery.

          The only thing that's happened to mine is the silver logo on the back got pulled out by a Grip Go phone holder on a hot day (at about 10 months old).

          Camera is okay, not great. It's not a Pixel, but probably compares fine at this price range. There is a pro mode now if that's something you'd use.

          This also has a headphone port.

        • bmerigan on 12/02/2019 - 09:18
          +2

          I'm very happy with the build quality but found it hard to pickup, so mine is in a $10 clear silicone cover from eBay which doesn't add bulk or change the styling but makes it MUCH easier to pickup and hold.

          P.S. I also bought a $14 Blitzwolf QC3 charger because adapters suck.

    • Caped Baldy on 11/02/2019 - 22:45

      If you do get it, check if you can get the pixel camera with the night sight feature. I can get it for my xiaomi phone but I need to do a factory wipe.

    • morgs640 on 12/02/2019 - 11:39

      The battery will probably be your main concern if you want it to last a few years. It's not big to begin with.

    • bowdo on 12/02/2019 - 19:45
      +1

      I'm very happy with the camera, performs pretty well in low light and day time photos are great. Last phone was a Xiaomi 4, camera on that was balls. Previous phone to that was a Lumia 950 and photos seem comparable to that (which is a good thing).

      Seems to be very no frills with camera options, which I like.

  • DaGr81 on 11/02/2019 - 21:21

    How does this compare to a Moto G6 plus?

    • banana365 on 11/02/2019 - 21:27
      +1

      My thoughts exactly. I'm hanging out for a new deal on a G6 Plus, but there's been nothing for a while. This looks good. Lenovo have just announced the G7 though…

      • ozhunter68 on 11/02/2019 - 22:12
        +1

        I have a Moto G5 Plus and a Nokia 6.1 and both phones run clean software and great for the price. The G6 Plus and Nokia 8 are both a step up and also great phones alike.

        I would happily upgrade to both as they again run clean Android ( Pie for N8 & soon for G6+ ), both have front fingerprint scanner, good build and battery life. The biggest difference is size/screen size and better performance/memory for the N8.

        The N8 would be more durable I'd say with that alloy unibody and not having glass on back, but the dreaded faulty half screen issue has got me a little worried.

        • mouzii on 12/02/2019 - 00:43

          For the love of OzBargain, please do not buy the Xperia XZ - three of us in the family have/had it and is/was a pain of a phone. Bloatware, overheating, low speakers, etc. My 2 cents.

      But seriously most websites have bad reviews anyway as that's what people do. I don't write reviews everytime I have a good experience at Coles for example, but I'd be more inclined to review if I had a bad experience.

      Ended up buying Nokia 8. Very fast delivery, ordered on the 12th, got it this morning.
      My only feedback for now is the plug adapter they give is not compatible to the charger… :/

      Go for it. I've had my Nokia 5 for 1 year+ and can't complain. A workmate (professor) got a Nokia 8 some months ago and said it's the best phone he's ever had. HMD have done a fantastic job.

      • Todes Angst on 14/02/2019 - 08:56

        Screen size. current phone is 5.3" and is too small for what I need. Nokia 8 is in the same boat.

        • ozhunter68 on 14/02/2019 - 18:11

          That's a really good reason. I can see why people like a large screen phone.

    Price went up from $337 to $345. Still tempting but scared of warranty process..

    • boxall on 14/02/2019 - 08:24
