Oneplus 5 vs Nokia 8

[JaguarBeast]

I cant decide which one to get. Both are priced 30 euro apart. I know many will say get the Oneplus 5 but I want an unbiased recommendation. Also, how is the updates situation on the oneplus 5 ?

Both companies are pretty stellar in terms of updates I guess. Nokia doesn't have unlocked bootloader yet. If you are in to custom ROMs I would go for the OP5. I was waiting for the pixel 2 to make a decision....but with those prices I'm going for the OP5

Nokia: locked bootloader, limited history with Android.

OnePlus: any rom you like, updates getting better all the time.

Pick whichever sounds better.

Only thing limiting Nokia 8 is 4GB of RAM. For most, this will be enough, but for a power user, you may notice apps closing sooner. In a year, it's not quite clear if 4gb will be sufficient.

I'd say OnePlus.
The reason I chose OnePlus was the development support it gets from the community.
Also, 8GB RAM is not too shabby either. In 1 or 2 years all phones will have 8GB. So the OnePlus is somewhat future proof in that regard.

In the end it all depends on your needs. I wanted a fast phone with good development support and affordable price. OnePlus is right there in the middle.
My second choice would be some Pixel.

If you care about the security updates and you will use tock ROM and want a better camera setup, higher display resolution then go with the Nokia. There will be 6GB RAM version soon, worth to wait a little I believe.
