Re: Nokia 8- Flagship

The pixel that is. I think Nokia is pushing quality already with the release of their 3 Android phones released already. Nokia has always made reliable phones I somehow don't think quality is going to be any kind of issue. Especially on their comeback devices. I personally would worry more about the pixel then nokia.
I'm certainly hoping so. If the camera is a let down I may actually shed a tear
Can't agree with you here. Neither the old or the new Nokia has never released a flagship and the history of Nokia on Microsoft devices can't be counted to their advantage on Android. Neither company has much built up in the way of history yet, with Google having only released 1 flagship lineup and HMD having released 0 so far. Really is a big question mark, impossible to draw any conclusions in Nokia's favor until there's actually something to see.
Never released a flagship? Lol. Why just because they never released one on Android...they didn't count?
Yeah that's still like saying Apple have never made a flagship phone because iOS isn't android
Nah, night and day difference. iOS is by far the second most popular OS globally and every device they've ever released except for the SE and the 5C has been a flagship. And I'm not saying "because it's not Android", I'm joking that Windows, as a phone OS, is one of the most irrelevant things in the smart things world right now.
Of course Windows on mobile is irrelevant now but when old Nokia was at it's prime they were producing plenty flagships, and iOS was only the 3rd most popular OS here in Europe behind Android and WP respectively.
Whatever happens I want them to do well and I'll hang off buying the 8 until I see if it has everything or at least most features I need, it performs well and the camera in particular and finally I'll wait to see if the 9 arrives shortly after in case it's better then at least the 8 will have come down in price by then too
I recall hearing that they won't be using the same pureview tech that the Lumias had, since that tech was exclusive to MS. Not sure how much of a difference that would make. Or whether it's true for that matter.I think in terms of just the camera alone will blow Google out of the water
Just read an awesome article on mspoweruser.com about Nokia snatching back their iconic Lumia camera user interface for their Android devices! Check it out
Nokia 8 software
Pure Android Nougat
Camera improvements
One of the underlying themes of the new Nokia phones is that they all run pure Android Nougat, with Google Assistant. Nokia was keen to point this out and Google was keen to say how happy the were that Nokia was doing this.
