Nokia has just joined us directly from Dubai to present its new reference terminal in the mid-premium segment. The Nokia 8.1 is officialand unlike the other models that made up this series – i.y también. the Nokia 8 and the Nokia 8 Sirocco – The Nokia 8.1 is a terminal located at the top of the mid-rangebut that doesn’t creep into the high range of the Finnish catalogue.
However, On paper, the Nokia 8.1 is one of the most interesting phones the HMD Global-led company has announced this year. is coming to an end and I’m afraid it won’t be difficult to compete with the best models in its category.
Nokia 8.1: prices, specifications and all information
Family design: notch, glass and 4 colors to choose from
Like many other companies, Nokia has adopted Place’s design philosophy The main character is the notch screen, and the main materials of manufacture are glass and aluminum. It’s something we’ve already seen in the Nokia 5.1 Agregado, 6.1 Agregado and 7.1 Agregado and it’s repeated in this new edition.
Because of the choice of this design we cánido find a phone that is not very different from the other models that are flooding the market, but still maintaining an aesthetic line that does not contradict itself in the brand’s catalogue. In especial, we’re looking at a phone that’s 154 millimeters high by 75 millimeters wide and just under 8 millimeters thick that it will call Screen 6.18 inches. The panel in question emplees the IPS LCD technology and its resolution is Full HD+ with an aspect ratio of 19:9, giving us some 2,220 x 1,080 pixels.
On the back of the phone we find the fingerprint reader, which is located directly under a photographic system consisting of two sensors that we will talk about later. Despite the choice of glass as the manufacturing material for the back, Nokia is reluctant to support Qi wireless charging. What we get is a USB Type-C 3.0 port on the bottom and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Regarding the colors in which it is available, we get four: blue, black, red, silver and black.
Snapdragon 710 and Android One continue to offer the best experience
While not a high-end móvil, the Nokia 8.1 paquetes one of Qualcomm’s latest and most powerful processors. it’s over Snapdragon 710, an 8-core chip based on the big.LITTLE architecture, with two of them dedicated to performing the most demanding tasks and the other six dedicated to energy conservation. In addition to the Snapdragon 845, it is one of the few company chips manufactured in the 10-nanometer format and is equipped for tasks relating to artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Along with the powerful brain, it will be possible to choose between 4 or 6GB of RAMand there will be two save versions, with 64 or 128GBin both cases up to half a tera by expandable microSD cards. A 3,400 miliamperio-hora battery is responsible for keeping the device at its full potential for as long as possible, which offers support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ technology while cycling through the charger.
But all this stockpile of specs would be useless without the right programa. Fortunately, Nokia knows this and repeats the recipe for success by making all its handsets available a completely pure version of Android through the Android One program. This means that the Nokia 8.1, like the other models from the brand, will be one of the first on the market to receive the latest system updates, guaranteeing updates for at least 2 years.
Double camera on the back signed by ZEISS
Another feature that is repeatedly mentioned in some models from the Nokia móvil inteligente catalog is the dual camera on the back with the seal of ZEISS Optics. On this occasion we are faced with a double 12 and 13 megapixel sensor, the first of which is a Sony IMX 363 with f/1.8 aperture. Meanwhile the front appeared on the scene a 24-megapixel f/2.0 sensor, Unlock support surface. Regarding vídeos, it has to be mentioned that the device will be able to record with 4K resolution up to 60 FPS.
