If you are looking for an alternative to the Nokia 7 Plus, the Nokia 8 should be your pick. You will be losing the 18:9 display but you will get a lot in exchange. The Nokia 8 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 which is way more powerful than the SD660 on the Nokia 7 Plus. However, you will end up paying Rs. 2,000 more and that will be worth it. The Nokia 8 is currently priced at Rs. 27,990 for the 4GB+64GB variant.

OnePlus 5T

OnePlus 5T is a great alternative to the flagship Nokia 8 Sirocco. The OnePlus 5T comes with similar specifications at a much lower price. The OnePlus 5T is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. The device packs in 8GB of RAM which is 2GB more than that of the Nokia 8 Sirocco. The 128GB variant of the OnePlus 5T is currently priced at Rs. 37,999. If you are considering the OnePlus 5T, we would highly recommend you to wait for a couple of days as the OnePlus 6 is on its way and it will make a better value for money.
