Qualcomm SDM710 Snapdragon 710 (10 nm)Chipset 64/128 GB, 4/6 GB RAMRAM & Storage Dual: 5 MPRear Camera Non-removable Li-Ion 3500 mAh batteryBattery

Nokia's mid-range play from 2018 pairs a Snapdragon 710 chipset with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, giving it enough headroom for everyday multitasking without stepping into flagship pricing. The 6.18-inch IPS LCD panel runs a tall 18.7:9 aspect ratio at 1080 x 2246 resolution, which suits video and browsing. Nokia 8.1 price in Malaysia starts from RM685.

Camera-wise, the rear setup is a dual 5MP arrangement tuned with Zeiss optics, dual-LED flash and HDR support, while the front houses a 20MP shooter for selfies and video calls. Video capture tops out at 4K30fps with gyro-EIS for steadier footage.

A 3500 mAh battery backs it up with 18W fast charging, and the aluminum-framed, glass-backed body adds a rear fingerprint sensor, NFC and USB Type-C. Storage can be pushed to 400GB via microSD, though that shares space with the second SIM slot.
