OnePlus finally launched its bezel-less smartphone OnePlus 5T as an upgrade to its previous OnePlus 5. Well before OnePlus, Xiaomi had come up with its own infinity display device the Mi Mix 2. Another phone in the same segment is the HMD Global’s Nokia 8 (first impressions).

With similar hardware and software, enthusiasts are eager to learn which is the mid-segment winner. Clearly, all the devices have the same level of performance as they pack Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 SoC. Nokia device, however, still lacks the top of the line features such as infinity display and packs meagre 4GB RAM. Despite these Nokia 8 remains a worthy competitor to both OnePlus 5T and Mi Mix 2 because of its outstanding features such as:
QHD Display
While both OnePlus 5T and Mi Mix 2 sport bezel-less AMOLED displays with 18:9 aspect ratio, Nokia 8 plays safe with a 5.3-inch IPS LCD panel. Despite its admittedly smaller screen, Nokia 8 display has QHD higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. It works out at a very dense 554 PPI, and offer sharper visuals than the Full HD resolution devices.
In addition, Nokia 8 display has a high maximum brightness level of 700 Nits which offers visibility even in harshest sunlight. The device even features a ‘Glance Screen’ which displays time and notifications even when the phone is turned off.
Distinct Unibody Design
Another feature that makes Nokia 8 a competitor to OnePlus 5T and Mi Mix 2 is its distinct unibody design. Both OnePlus 5T and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 have modern slim metallic designs with a full-screen front. Carved out of single series of 6000 aluminium, Nokia 8 may not feature an attractive infinity display but offers a distinct design and elegance that stands out of the crowd. The device is built solid enough to survive any accidental falls.
