Nokia 8.1 vs OnePlus 6T vs Oppo R17 Pro: Price, specifications, features compared


HMD Global earlier this month launched its latest flagship phone, Nokia 8.1, in India. Priced at Rs 26,999, Nokia 8.1 is one of the few smartphones in India to sport Qualcomm’s latest mid-range processor, Snapdragon 710.


Apart from a powerful chipset, Nokia 8.1 comes with a premium design. At the given price point, Nokia 8.1 faces competition from smartphones like OnePlus 6T and Oppo R17 Pro. Here’s a detailed comparison between the three phones based on their price, specifications and features.

Design and display
Nokia smartphones are known for their good looks and are a refreshing change from the sea of similar-looking Android phones. Nokia 8.1 evokes the same feeling featuring a glass body with metal frame. The steel/copper colour combination of Nokia 8.1 stands out the most. It has a 6.18-inch Full HD+ PureDisplay with HDR10 support.

Nokia 8.1 differs from the OnePlus 6T and Oppo R17 Pro with a boat-shaped notch on top. OnePlus 6T features a teardrop designed notch on its 6.41-inch Optic AMOLED display. OnePlus 6T also flaunts a glass body with curved edges.

Oppo R17 Pro has an almost similar-looking design like the OnePlus 6T. It however differs with an interesting colour scheme of radiant mist and emerald green. Oppo R17 Pro has a 6.4-inch display with 2340x1080 pixels resolution.

On the software front, Nokia 8.1 runs near-stock Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box. It is an Android One smartphone which means latest security updates and upgrades on time. OnePlus 6T also runs the latest Android Pie but with custom OxygenOS layered on top. Oppo R17 Pro has the older Android 8.1 Oreo with ColorOS 5.2.

Please update from the iOS 12 beta.” If you’ve been running the latest version of Apple’s beta software for OS 12, you’ve likely been pestered by this notification a whole lot over the last 24 hours.
