Nokia has now pretty much standardized the design across its smart phone line-up. The Nokia 8.1 appears like a Nokia phone in true sense, and that is a good thing. The device is made of a single block of the Series 6000 aluminum. Nokia 8.1 is a gorgeous device to acknowledge with glass at the back, and dash of metal on the sides.
The power key and the volume rockers also have a very nice tangible feel. On the back, the glass adds a very generous helping of premium-ness as you hold the Nokia 8.1. The big worry for the users is that when you keep the Nokia 8.1 on smooth surface it can be very slippery.
In terms of the color choice, buyers can choose between Blue/Silver and Iron/Steel color combinations in Nokia 8.1.
The 6.18-inches screen display with 2280 x 1080 pixel resolution is one of the best that you will find in this price range. Although Nokia calls this Pure Display, but in reality, this is an LCD display. It is bright, sharp, and vibrant without being abnormal and the display works well outdoors under bright sunlight as well.
This display is HDR10 compatible, which is great news for the dedicated Netflix fans. You could perhaps criticize that the black levels don’t look the purest black; however, it doesn’t negatively impact other colors.
