It seems that HMD successfully rekindled the passion that Nokia fans had for the brand – our poll showed a 2 to 1 positive response to the Nokia 8. So, it’s not unanimous, but not bad for a company that has been on the market for less than a year (the Nokia backing sure helped catapult them).
The bezels of the 8 were a point of contention and the Xperia XZ Premium and HTC U11 got caught in the crossfire. The Nokia 6 chipset was brought up also, fans really wanted to see a Snapdragon 600 series chip rather than 400.
While the response to the new flagship is mostly positive, Nokia aficionados would still like to see an, even more, premium model – perhaps one with a bezel-less design and an OLED screen. A bonkers high-resolution camera sensor like those from the golden age would also help push public opinion deeper into the positive.
