To recap
The Nokia 8 is a flagship spec phone at mid-range price, and while it offers pure Android that’s fast to update, the phone experience doesn’t really raise itself above the average. It’s a nice pure Android handset and you get a lot for your money, but it’s not the best flagship experience out there.
