  I would first try factory reset. If that doesn't help it could be motherboard issue.

  Having the same issue with my Nokia 8 whenever I tried opening the camera app phone started to restart itself...the problem arises often I stopped using the camera. Nokia should do something about these issues

  They can't do anything if it's a hardware failure and it really sounds like a hardware problem.

  How can it be a hardware issue? Can you explain?

  Any hardware component can fail and only solution is replacement. In your case it could be motherboard or camera.

  I also have the same problem with my Nokia 8. Usually once I opened the camera and then tap the shoot button, the phone restarts. Upon restarted then if the camera app opened, again phone restarts as soon as the camera app opens. But I observed that the issue is not occuring when using the cameracame on some other apps such as WhatsApp. I suspect that this is happening due to a recent update. Any thoughts and ideas?

  I want to know how come it doesn't happen when It's charging if it's a motherboard issue?

  EDIT : It doesn't restart or doesn't show any sound problem when the battery is charged fully.

  I don't have in-depth knowledge about that, but I do know that practically everything in your phone is connected to the motherboard and when motherboard is malfunctioning any kind of strange behavior is possible. If you're asking this because you don't know if the shopkeeper is lying to you, I can tell you this: IMEI number is tied to the motherboard, so if he changes the motherboard he must provide you the new IMEI number.

  Thanks for the reply, I will just use it like this since it only happens when battery is low. Maybe I will check the hardware next time before the warranty expires.

  Hello,
  
  I have been facing the exact same problem with my phone too since the recent pie update. Usually after the battery decreases a certain amount, to about 30-40, the phone starts behaving abnormally.
  
  1. It automatically restarts while using it, sometimes restarts several times before being usable again. 
  
  2. The sound output from external speaker at full is always stuttering. 
  
  All of these problems do not occur if the phone:
  
  --has a good amount of charge left
  --is connected to the charger 
  
  None of these issues were present previously.

  Are you sure it's out of warranty, they give us 2 years warranty in the UK.

  
  

  Might be worth checking on the "My Phone" app.

  It first started with the fast charging speed then, when I opened my camera it shuts down now it has gotten to all the apps I can't connect to the WiFi it restarts immediately, then for the recent days when I use mobile data and opens most of the apps the phone restarts. Even now I am only typing this by plugging on to my charger. Who knows that will also be not possible in the future . Disappointed Team Nokia.

  I'm a bad buyer, because I bought Nokia 8. Nokia is playing with top buyers.  Expect to be dumped like those who have bought Nokia 7 that is not listed anymore.  They have not managed to solve the glance and ambient display, nor do they want to see these flaws.  I will never buy Nokia products anymore, nor will I recommend any Nokia friend.

  Same problem with my Nokia 8 too... It started after the recent android update. Whenever I open the camera app the phone restarts and goes into a series of restarts. Also when I open Google maps same issue. I have factory restored the phone but the problem persist. Also the battery charging is slow, the fast charging has gone away. Also looks like there is issue with WiFi of the phone,  it keeps flickering.
  When I checked for updating the camera app, Google Play displays no support. 
  I think the camera app does not support the new Android update. It is so embarrassing that camera cannot be used in functions.
  Nokia - HMD please look into this as it is serious issue and definitely will hit you.

  Hello,
  
  To anyone who is facing issues such as:
  
  - automatic restart when battery percentage falls
  - automatic restart if opening any or most camera apps
  - sound from speaker is stuttering on full volume
  - automatic restart if charger is removed
  - auto restart if turning on wifi
  - auto restart on doing full brightness
  
  
  This is an issue with the battery, you have to get it replaced in order to fix the above issues. A new original replacement battery from the service centre here costs ₹2850 (about $40)
