OnePlus 5 vs Nokia 8: OnePlus 5 recently got an all new rival with Nokia 8’s official entry into India. Priced at INR 36,999 and carrying premium body design, Nokia 8 is one worthy competitor. OnePlus has placed its flagship device at INR 32,999 but lacks some of the exclusive features that only Nokia has on offer.

Both the phones are powered by Snapdragon 835 processor and thus, takes performance to a new level with 4GB of RAM in Nokia 8 and 6GB/8GB option in OnePlus 5. Nokia offers dual sight mode, 40 stage machined aluminum unibody, Zeiss optics, 13MP dual rear cameras, OZO Audio and 64GB internal storage.

OnePlus 5, on the other hand, comes with 20MP + 16MP rear camera, 16MP front camera and 64GB/128GB of internal storage. Nokia 8 comes with a beautiful 5.3 inch, quad HD display with Gorilla Glass 5 protection while OnePlus offers 5.5 inch full HD display with their flagship phone.

OnePlus 5 seems more of a performance friendly device while Nokia takes premium appeal to a new level with its range of exotic features and nostalgia associated with the brand name. It seems purely a choice based decision as in practical terms, both are effective ways of spending your money on technology these days.
