But heard that Nokia warranty service is notorious. Everything push back to consumers. How much is it in jb anyway?

It's a nice phone. Just tired it at city Square jb. 5.3 inch 1440p. Dk much the camera but it's great for the price and the feel in hand plus stock android. Close fight versus op5 foin terms of potential rom development, warranty servicing and updates which still need to be assessed.

The last Nokia device of any relevance in sg was the windows phone I think. Plus can't really have a fair comparison since this Nokia is under HMD. Gotta wait and see. Price about 2399rm, similar to sg.

Wait for q10 discount and buy local stock. Cheaper.

Seems like Singtel also not carry it.
Went to Singtel shop today and overheard someone asking the staff and they don't carry it

On the carrier level, only M1 sells the Nokia 8. SingTel and StarHub don’t seem to be interested.

Nokia lai liao... but the price is.... :(:(

Yes price is a little high to capture the market.
Saw this model in Hong Kong, is about S$200 cheaper.

Has to see how it goes and after sales support.

But most consumers might trust nokia more than oneplus... and oneplus 5 lacks micro sd and the better camera(?) Of the 8

Software implementation China brand cannot make it la.
Also, has to compare number of 4G/3G band coverage. China brand usually just a few and not even at cat 6 LTE,

Over the time, I noticed that M1 is more willing to bring in new phone brands than the other two telcos.

For example, M1 brought in brands such as Sharp, TP-Link phones which are relatively unknown to ordinary consumers in Singapore. Singtel and StarHub usually only bring in brands that are well-known by consumers in Singapore.

Challenger and Courts should have it since they are selling it, but not confirmed :o

Not really. Only for the older gens. Nokia is still made by Foxconn...
Camera is really subjective, nowadays hp camera mostly is either Sony or Samsung.

I guess its more of the size (5.3") compared to a 5.5
