Bit of a bummer where they mention it will have a slight uprade as the Nokia 9 may be delayed. The 9 is the phone I'm holding out for

.
So what's missing in 8 that the 9 was supposed to have?

It's all rumors at this point. The 9 got renamed to 8, according to GSMArena.

Re: Nokia 8- Flagship

From what I can tell from the rumours it sounds like the Nokia 8 has had a spec bump but falls a little short of what the Nokia 9 was supposed to have. So it basically falls somewhere in between the 2. Either way it's all speculation like you say and if this article is true then this will be their top flagship for now no matter what rumours are flying around

I'm sure there is going to be a 9 especially since I've been hearing the processor might be a downgrade on the 8. It's all speculation at this point but will have to wait and see

Re: Nokia 8- Flagship

Does anyone know what the software updates will be like? Have they committed to releasing (at least security updates) pretty quickly in line with Google.

I've also heard that it will be pretty much stock android which is cool.

Software Updates will be amongst the fastest to be released thanks to near stock Android. They have also committed to monthly security updates and firmware upgrades for 2 years.

It may well be the phone to replace my 5X then. Can't decide between the Nokia or Original Pixel.

They seem to be good so far on security updates

Re: Nokia 8- Flagship

If you are choosing only between Nokia 8 or original Pixel, I would go for the Nokia, near stock software, newer hardware, probably a bit more attractive. But you probably can get the Pixel cheaper

I'd go the other way, but only because the new Nokia has never released a flagship and the pixel is proven to be a great device. Plus the Nokia design has a lot of ancient elements to it that need updating. Hopefully the 8 is good though so next year we'll know if they're pushing quality or not.
