Im Alltag funktionierte das Nokia 8.1 flüssig sowie ohne Ruckler und man konnte problemlos damit arbeiten. Das Display überzeugt durch Kontrast, Farbintensität und Schärfe. Das Smartphone könnte noch etwas schneller sein und ohne Tageslicht schwächelt die Kamera ein bisschen. Für einen Preis ab 419 Franken gibts da aber sonst nicht viel zu meckern.

    Das Nokia 8.1 punktet mit starkem Display, toller Verarbeitung und garantierten Updates - ist aber trotzdem zu teuer: Die Dual-Kamera ermöglicht zwar stimmungsvolle Nahaufnahmen, erreicht allerdings kein Oberklasse-Niveau. Die Update-Garantie ist deshalb das wohl stärkste Kaufargument.

    Das Nokia 8.1 soll ab Mitte Januar in Deutschland erhältlich sein. Farblich hat man die Wahl zwischen dunkelblau, grau und silber. Die unverbindliche Preisempfehlung liegt bei 449 Euro. Dafür bekommt man ein Smartphone mit großem und ordentlichen Display, flotter Hardware und einer guten Kamera, die aber hinter den Top-Modellen zurück bleibt...
