Yes Nokia 8.1 does have charging port issue , i i replaced. My charging port 2 times under warranty period . Charging port issues comes because of loose contact between the port and cable due to which it shake the port slowly slowly and make the solder of wires of port loose due to which the whole problem occur . The reason to solve the problem is that to replace the charging port from the nokia care and buy a one plus dash charging cable or a ANKER cable both are very solid . There is a tight bonding between the one plus cable and the nokia phones connectors .

The Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 7.1 are more affected. The 7 Plus had no issues in normal use, but some users who abused the port a bit had issues.

I'm using the 8.1 since launch and it is all good so far. No issues in my case 🙂

I thought I had this issue. But I cleaned the Jack and the connector which attaches to the charging port and I was good to go.
Unfortunately, 6.1, 7 plus are delicate darlings, ultra sensitive. So just don't abuse your charging port and it will last for a good time.

I charge my phone once in 3 days as I am a very light user, but still my charging port on Nokia 7 plus connects-disconnects during charging.

It does not. Also if it is there then too it maybe on just few unlucky phones. Charging port issue can occur on any phone.Just take care of your phone and don't treat its port roughly.

I too am facing charging port issue on my Nokia 8.1. Online support told to take it to Nokia service center. How much time do they take for repairing / replacing the port?

Charging port of Nokia 8.1 is not working properly. I have this problem from about 1 year, means around 3-4 months after purchasing. Initially I thought that, it is getting loose because of my mistake and reconnect the charger. Still it persists then I thought that, might be the charging cable has the little problem. But one day I cross checked it and found that phone's charging port has the issue. Then I searched on Google about it and found many people facing the same problem. But by the time I cross checked, my warranty period has ended. How can Nokia phone's charging port comes with poor build quality?

I have bought 2 Nokia 8.1 (one for my son and the other for my wife). Both devices have charging port problem within the warranty period. We took them back to Nokia support and both have been repaired. I don't know if the problem will happen again.

I learnt that Nokia has extended the warranty of the USB port (maybe due to this problem). You may wish to have a try taking it back to Nokia support.

(Summary: I've owned the 7 Plus and two 8.1 which all had charging problems)

I had the charging problem with my Nokia 7 Plus so I bought the 8.1 which after around 4 months also had the charging problem. I took it back to where I bought it and the shop gave me a replacement. It was charging fine until April where the problems started again. It's now almost June and it doesn't charge at all. As much as I love Nokia I just can't buy another one of their phones so in a few days I'm upgrading to the Samsung S20. It's sad since in the past Nokia built a reputation of strong and reliable phones but I've owned 3 Nokia Android phones and they've all had charging problems. And yes I did try cleaning them all out and I always treat my phones with care.
