I've got a nokia 8, and at times, my notification sounds revert to some other one. It seems to me that the custom ringtones are a layer above the standard ones, and for some reason, sometimes it doesn't run the program. Reading about the evanwell apps preloaded into nokia phones, I'm not sure...

Good to hear that it's not as bad as that video. With the trouble nokia is having with their divorce with foxconn, I was concerned that any updates are basically half arsed, and they just relaxed the requirements of the sensor. I have been quite critical of hmd/nokia of late, but only because...

Those cars do look nice, but the photos are starting to look like really good renders, and not actual photos. The depth blur must be processed similarly to some video games.

I just bought a Nokia 8, and only now, once I have it, am I reading that there's a few issues with updates. Shame because a lot of reviewers are saying the opposite. With that said, device is functioning quite well. In the last day though, there's discussion of how foxconn is kind of not going...

You would have to compare two photos, or check the number of pixels in each direction. 16:9 will always have smaller file sizes for a fixed sensor size, because the sensor is a circle, so it depends how you get that rectangle within a circle. I found the following picture which should show...

I bought it at a store, so I've been setting it up. Quite happy with the hardware. This flavour of android isn't exactly to my liking, it will take a fair bit of customisation and getting used to, I'm also not sure whether it's an android thing, or just nokia's flavour of it. In any case, it...

One more question to ask about, aspect ratio... The Nokia Lumia phones had the ability to use the full sensor all the time, meaning, if you shot in 4:3, you got a little bit more height in the field of view, compared to 16:9 which gave up some height, but then gave you width. I tried my Nokia...

Yea I basically let common sense dictate, bought the Nokia 8. The thing that really pushed me to go cheap was I went to notebookcheck and did a comparison of SOC's. Considering I'm up against the exynos variant of the S10e, I compared the SD835 to it, and it was 87% of the performance. Really...

Yea, certainly has me intrigued. What is the camera performance like (in terms of speed, viewing the gallary, etc.) when you just spit out jpegs without any depth sensing and whatever?

I think the S10e is the better option when compared with the S10. The S10+ is a different matter. It will be interesting to see what happens next year (really premature, but yea) because I suspect the S10e will cannibalise sales of the S10. With that said, I prefer some of the features of the...

Ok, so I've done more shopping, and almost decided to get a Nokia 8. Thought about it after finding a new one for less than a 7 plus. What is still niggling me is that I've been seriously tempted by the S10e. Where I'm conflicted is I'm not sure how long it will take for 5G to filter down to...

For starters, my current phone hasn't got one, so I can't. With that said, moving to a phone with a fingerprint reader, well, if it's a nuisance to use like in screen ones I'm consistently hearing about, then I'm perfectly happy with using a pin, as I've gotten used to it.

Yea almost $200 difference (approx $680 vs. $860). The Nokia 9 is still not available in Europe, but should be coming next month. The S10e, I'm wondering whether I should just buy now, or wait for a price drop in a few months. But with that said, the primary thing is how it performs as a phone...

Comparing the two dog photos, I prefer the Nokia 9 photo, but clearly the samsung isn't garbage. It appears to me that the nokia relies more on taking a better quality photo to begin with, rather than running algorithms. I haven't got the slightest clue if that's correct, it's just what it looks...

Can you elaborate further. I've read comments by some that it's not a 'point and shoot' camera, more for enthusiasts who want to post-process, but beyond that, what problems are you having?
