Is Nokia 8.1 still worth to buy ? - Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers

Hello Everyone
I plan to buy nokia 8.1 from india it's now ₹14,999 on flipkart
https://www.flipkart.com/nokia-8-1-...CEAFC2JJNWHQ0SQ9WX&marketplace=FLIPKART&sattr[0]=color&sattr[1]=storage&sattr[2]=ram&pageUID=1567724103600&fbclid=IwAR1hE0yxsjkcQs9qiJEJ5MIZLxMOvd9z7cTFUzLT0de4QMohdHqOYyI_TjQ
and Rs. 15,999 on nokia website
https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_in/...zc33IxSB-YqE8CpORYm8R14P_3d9urfp3ksnRS4#specs
so is still worth it or there are other alternatives and it's better to buy from flipkart or nokia or local shop
Thanks

Can't think of a better alternative at this price. But I'm torn between 4GB at ₹15k (from flipkart) and 6GB at ₹23k (from Nokia's website). 64GB is enough for me. But is there a big difference in the RAM between the two?

I think 4GB is enough for now , You don't have to open alot of apps at the same time and google pixel phones run smoothly with 4 Gb of ram

Yep. I think so too. Thanks ?

Do you know what is the best case and screen protector to get with the phone from flipkart?

I ordered these. Didn't want to spend too much. Hope they turn out to be good. What about you?

I didn’t order yet but i was thinking about the same screen protector you order

Or this one but i think it’s too expensive and i was thinking it worth it or not

And this cover

₹1,200?! That too without a review. I'd strongly suggest against it

The cover you choose seems good. But I didn't want to hide the phone's aesthetics, hence i went with a transparent one.
And regarding the phone color, I ordered the blue one. Love the combination along with the silver sides
Sent from my Moto X Play using XDA Labs

The phone is good, only one thing I don't like is front camera overexposure issue, (every selfie I took from front camera get overexposed) taking pictures on pro mode is only solution for front camera, except this issue, everything is fine

Does it have a pre applied screen protector? Coz my tempered glass might arrive a day or two after the phone

No. But it has Nippon Electric Glass (NEG). It can resist normal scratches.
SO, I think you can use the phone till your tempered glass arrives

I am using Tarkan Case for Nokia 8.1 (Not the rugged/heavy duty one).
It is simple and neat.

New shell?

Well I have just dropped my phone thanks to some sh** new gloves. Have been searching for a case also but no where has one.
Can I get a new shell for this? What r my options......?
Fuming is not even the word. Not once dropped my s2 in 6 months.

Ouch. I have a case on the way, don't even plan on using my phone until that thing arrives.
The bad news is that you may have to stomach that for a while, but Amazon has some nice cheap cases for it to cover it up. After a month or two, maybe more maybe less, there will be OEM parts you can just buy. If it's anything like the GS2 replacing the housing isn't that hard.
D'oh that's annoying, but I was expecting much worse to be honest. Get an opaque case and you'll never see it again.
Cheers people. I have calmed down now a bit, but its so frustrating!!!!
Feels like a incomplete device now....
It be OK in the long run tho, I'll change it and it be new again!
Any one running screen protectors?

I know what you mean, I went through it when I dropped my Nexus One on tarmac and dinged the metal.
It's case arrived the next day, sods law.
Well, think that if you had bought an iPhone 4 it would probably be shattered

Wait, so the shell contains the camera lens assembly (i.e. in case I scratch my camera lens)? I'm not saying the whole camera, just the lens cover.
That's a surprisingly low price if so...
How do these Asian sellers get this stuff? Do they know a guy who knows a guy who works at the Korean assembly plant or something?

Anyone buy a Zagg HD screen protector?

Just got mine and it doesn't fit! It clearly does not cover the width of the screen. It says it is "case friendly" but this seems a bit ridiculous! Has anyone else purchased these?

I was gonna say. Lol. That's lame though. I'm still trying to find a nice screen protector then. I've always wanted to use the ZaggHD's. Never had a phone that had the option.
Did you send an email to Zagg to inform them of this?
Just got it today but I intend to considering how much I've spent on their products

How are these? Not amazing quality but hopefully you get the idea. Left and right sides of the screen.

You guys should try the otter box shield that they sell @ Sprint. It's 29.99 and covers front & back, I personally love Zagg but this is just as good if not better.

And that's with a case on--meaning it's covering even less of the phone if it was naked. Man. Forget it. Thanks for the heads up! I appreciate the pictures.
I've always had Zagg HD screen protectors on my phones but I got tired of spending 25+ for each one. I made the switch to xtreme screen protectors and haven't regretted it. Currently using one on my moto now and it fits perfectly and for $2 it can't be beat.
Anyone tried ArmorSuit? http://www.armorsuit.com/cell-phone...x/motorola-moto-x-phone-screen-protector.html
Seems similar to Zagg but maybe it fits?
I bought the ArmorSuit, haven't put it on yet. Like with the Zagg, there was a "case friendly" version, but I could see from the photos it looked exactly like the Zagg case friendly and I didn't want it that far from the edge of the screen.

I tried the ArmorSuit case friendly and hated it - same issue it appears with the Zagg case friendly - just too much gap between the edge of the protector and the case/edge of the phone. It creates a noticeable edge that your finger hits any time you swipe left to right (or right to left!).
I went with the 'normal' ArmorSuit and there's still a slight gap between the edge of the protector and the case, but it's hardly noticeable. That being said, the protector has marks (almost divots) and depending on which way you turn the phone in the light, you can see the orange peel effect on the screen.
That's no good! So maybe the otterbox one is best? Kind of expensive though....

A friend of mine got the case a few days ago an the clear back already has quite a bit of scratches on it which is why i decided against it. It is a nice lookin case tho
All cases with clear backs will get scratched. It all depends on how much you take care of it.

I´m thinking about wipe the original screen protector and install invisibleshield. The original protector just sucks because it is magnet for scratches...
Yea I just want to have an extra one because I want to take mine off and have just the glass-m screen protector. One less layer between me and the screen.

It does have the sony logo so if this is what anyone wants this is the place to get it. I have a feeling these will be harder to install than regular ones since it has an adhesive. I order a 3m vikuiti i believe it was called and it has adhesive on it and man it was hard to install. So for the guy who ordered it please keep us posted once you receive it.

We do use it with no case, that's why we use a skin instead. Skins can often look nicer than stock. Depends on user...
I use the cover which came with the phone. Without it i can not handle the phone. In my experience it is the most slippery phone ever.
