I just received mine today. It is Blue-Steel colour.
The Phone is 'Superlative'. Classy, Elegant, Beautiful etc. etc. Worth it. Works well. Didn't play any games though.
It is slightly slippery to hold. A soft TPU cover should have been included in the box. I have ordered a Transparent back cover already.
There is no word on free offers yet, I hope to get some info in my mail/post in coming days.
Excellent phone.

Is the protection specification quoted anywhere on Nokia official website?, if not then it's not trustworthy

Absolutely.... Seems like same as 5.1 plus no protected glass bundled. Serious hardware flaw.

This is the answer from Nokia chat support ,there is no Gorilla glass protection

Thanks for the info.... Wouldn't buy it or recommend. Many features... Lot of advertisements... Lot of tweets.. hypes, but not providing a basic protection is just like throwing money in dark.

wyk · December 2018

Thanks for saving my bucks.... 7plus is better still. ☺️👍

wyk · December 2018

7 plus still best.

[Deleted User] · December 2018

I think it has some sort of protection, probably NEG(dinorex),but I would say that Nokia would have used a good glass and anyways Gorilla glass breaks and scratches too albiet a bit more after rough use so I won't write off the device just because of no glass specs mentioned,it still feels solid

nitinkachare · December 2018

As Juho Sir Mentioned It's Sculpted Glass On Nokia 8.1 Dubai Launch.Just Check It 26:25 Video Steaming Of Launch Event.May be @Paul Sir could have proper answer.

nitinkachare · December 2018

@wyk Nokia 8.1 has gadget360' camera ratings is low as compared to Nokia 7 Plus due to sometimes over exposure problem on front camera.Nokia 7Plus has 3800mAh Battery,Full HD Display 18:9 and Not having HDR10 display So that's why it's better battery life.

wyk · December 2018

Nokia 8.1 is just having SD 710 & HDR10 comparing to 7 plus.... But still cant compromise these with corning gorilla glass. .. At least sratch protected glass. & u knw at the end of day battery matters a lot. So except those said features i would like to say it's downgrade.

ਮੱਲ ਸਾਬ · December 2018

Nokia 8.1 front camera over sharpness pic,hope nokia fix with update

[Deleted User] · December 2018

@wyk I am using the 8.1 after using 7 plus and I don't feel there any difference infact I feel that pie is better optimised on this device also since 710 is on 10nm fabrication and with new kryo cores 2*6 it's bound to be better battery wise,camera is a big big improvement and blows away any competition simply ,it even blows away 6t and that too in low light shots,check this video

Yes I saw the video and Juho said sculpted glass but again he could have thrown a bit of light on durability of it,not that it's going to be anything cheap from them but still some information would have been good

nitinkachare · December 2018

Yes I saw that video today

wyk · December 2018

Hope.. It's fine.... But HMD should clear the logic behind glass protection. Practical experience always differs from video. ..& the surface not always tiles.. 😆

Rohanr · December 2018

Will Nokia 8.1 have face unlock feature in coming updates.

Still waiting for the 7 Plus in Indonesia. Or wait until the Nokia 8.1 arrive? Please deliver soon, getting sick of my Xiaomi.

nitinkachare · December 2018

I am using Nokia 8.1 and I want to share my experience.Nokia 8.1 is very good device from Nokia.Nokia 8.1 is very good in night both front and rear.Specially Rear Camera is excellent in day and night.But Front Camera is over expose lot of time.Sometimes Details loss in front camera like beard,hair,etc.I am expecting nokia team give camera update for that Issue.

Harmandeep · December 2018
