Nokia is constantly launching Android smartphones in the country and the names of these smartphones of the company are also quite confused. Last year, the company launched Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Syroco flagship smartphones. But Nokia 8.1 is not a flagship handset and it has been launched in mid-range. Nokia 8.1 can be a good option for those who want a flagship level phone but their budget is low.
In the market to compete with the Nokia 8.1 smartphone, smartphones like Asus Zenfone 5 Z, Poko F1 and Galaxy A7 (2018) are already in the market. All these smartphones come in a category of less than 30,000 rupees. Will Nokia's new handset Nokia 8.1 be able to make its place among these smartphones?

On the right side, the metal SIM tray and power and volume buttons are given in the phone. The phone also has Corning Gorilla Glass on the front.
On the display in the phone there is a wide notch, inside which front camera, earpiece, front flash and proximity sensor have been replaced. Bottom Chin is not very much and Nokia's logo has been given here. There is a camera module on the rear which is slightly forward-facing. Overall, the Nokia 8.1 grip is very good. We have been able to use it with one hand. The most special thing is that it does not slip through the hands. The body has been strengthened and the fit and finish are very great.
Software

However, Nokia has done a few UI customizations, including the outlines of icons appearing on the home screen. In the app drawer you can also choose different alarms of icons. Instead of standard navigation buttons in the phone, Android 9.0 pie gestures are enabled by default. But they can be disabled by going to the Gestures section in the Settings app and unchecking the 'Swipe up on Home button' option.Due to Wide Knouch, scrolling down the notification shed can be done to know the battery level. The display can also be hidden and it will replace a black band. For this, go to the settings app and check 'Full Bezel'. There are alternatives like standard, vivid, or muted color for the display.

Talk about the camera app, here are many icons available from which it is possible to use different features. Rear cameras have modes like squire, panorama, live boalkah, pro, auto photo, video, slow motion and time laps.
Talk about quality, then pictures taken from the rear camera come in handy. Take a look at the light of day, the pictures come with great detailing and bright colors. The phone makes fast focus and it is easy to use. But when the lights are dimmed in the evening, the photos remain a bit confused. Focusing on live Bokeh mode takes a little while, but the quality is good. Good camera comes with front camera in the day and night. Here are the beautification modes in the phone for selfies.

Talk about the night, the camera straves here. Some photos taken in the night are bright, but there is a lack of detailing and noise. The video we shot in the light of daylight with rear camera, they remain sharp and good quality. But in the night the video gets blurred.
The performance
The new Snapdragon 710 processor offered in the phone works well. There is no problem with multitasking in the phone. We did not have any problem in running the phone during use. Nokia 8.1 does not have any problems like hanging. We are able to easily switch between apps and the browsing is fine too. Heavy games like PUBG can also be played in the phone.It's a good experience to watch YouTube videos due to the HDR screen. HDR video quality looks great on enhancing brightness. However, doing this expires batteries faster. The voice from the phone's single mono speaker is good.
