the Android phone has got rates and the many good suppliers in almost all tests.
According to the manufacturer is Nokia 8.1 the ‘spiritual successor’ to last year’s amazing phone. But how good is it?
There are certainly some obvious differences between last year’s 7 Plus and this year’s 8.1. The main and most obvious, is that the new phone is made of glass on both the front and back. It is not necessarily a stupid grip, because the result is a neat design – but the market is flooded not of metal phones at the moment. And for many users means metal on one side of the phone, that it is only half as vulnerable.
And the change the we most have sought after, has not come. Nokia 8.1 is still not waterproof.
are you Looking for the greatest possible mobilbatteri, there is another bad news here. Compared with last year is a significantly smaller battery in the Nokia 8.1. But it does not mean worse battery life, for now we come to what is improved by the model.

Menus on the Google Pixel
, who puts himself in the middle of what one can expect from a cheap mobile and topmodellerne. And that it is new and more powerful also means that power consumption during common tasks decreases.
the Phone is like last year’s Nokia models part of Android One programme. This means that the menus are completely pure Google menus. If you have used a Google Pixel before, you will therefore feel at home in the menus.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display the active apps. If you keep your finger on the screen, you can swipe to the right or left to switch between apps. A small overview of the hovedgenveje appears at the bottom. Pull on up to see all apps.
It is a kind of swipe-menu, which has very little in common with the way the swiping works on for example an iPhone or Huaweis phones.

Advantages and disadvantages of the camera
Here is a Nokia app that gives you support for your phone, if you need it. And an enhanced camera app, which gives you access to the professional options when you take pictures.
Usually the latter app one of our favorites, as it simplifies the more advanced photography. However, since the Pixel 3-the phones have night mode, which helps with long exposures in a dark environment, Nokia is 8.1 a better kameramobil, if you use Google’s own app. The nokia camera app has no night mode.
When it is said, takes the Nokia 8.1 relatively good pictures, as there is not much to expose. In indoor lighting the photos can sometimes be blurry during movement, but the general rule is that they are good enough. What helps here is the optical stabilisation, which is built-in very. For the most part you can rely on the results from this camera without having to take a lot of pictures to be sure to get a usable.
Measurements of the performance confirms what we as users see in the menus. It is a fast phone, it is for general use pretty much on a par with the previous generation of more expensive top models. But on the grafiksiden, it is a little slower, and we are a generation further back. But for most apps and games is the performance of Nokia 8.1 sufficient, and there is almost no mobile phones in the same price range that are significantly better.

Okay as the telephone
when the new model has a less than 10 percent less battery. It is not, unfortunately, but the battery life feels not dramatically worse.
We are talking here about the difference between easy to reach on the battery for two days of use and almost reaching up. It is not a big difference, and Nokia 8.1 holds without problems a day, if you are not very demanding. It follows, moreover, a rapid charger in the sales box.
the sound quality during conversations is approved, while the keyboard is Google’s own Gboard, and therefore easy and fast to type on.
also, You can easily increase the font size of the whole menu system or change the colors to get better contrast if you need it.
One advantage of Android One phones is that they get updates directly from Google, and therefore always have the latest security updates. An additional thing about the Nokia 8.1 is that it supports updates, which automatically downloaded in the background. You just need to restart your phone when a new update is ready. You need not wait on the installation.
It costs a bit of the built-in 64 gigabytes of storage memory. But with the support of a memory card is not a big issue.
There is a single speaker in the phone, which does a decent job, but compared with the most powerful stereo speakers in the market, there is not all the sound in the Nokia 8.1. On the positive side, so is the encryption on Netflix and Amazon supported, so you can see the video in HD quality. The screen can also display images in HDR.
Despite the smaller battery than the Nokia 7 Plus, there is a fine battery life of the Nokia 8.1, which, together with the hurtigopladning makes the model to a super phone to use. Photo: Finn Jarle Kvalheim, Tech.no

But at the same time, it is not insignificant that there is still a lack of metal on the back. It made Nokia 7 Plus a winner for many who had a need for a more solid phone. The large battery also increased the impression of a very well-balanced phone that suitable for many users.
