IMHO, it has its merits. Arguably its toughest competitors are OnePlus 5 and Huawei Honor 9. Both are priced 60 euros - 100 euros cheaper than Nokia 8. Nokia 8 has better display than its competitors - and it has microSD slot, unlike OnePlus has. And obviously, Nokia phones have been getting the latest Android updates pretty darn fast, unlike Huawei.
So, mostly, I'd say, it is down to which phone of those three feels best for you.
Other Chinese brands are mostly fighting for the mid-range market, not in high-end - or their support for Western stuff, like Google services, requires tweaking.

I like the SD slot. It's a little short on RAM, be nice if it was 6gb. Do you think a 1440p screen is worth it at that size? The video features would be good for a journalist... if it actually works as well as it says.
From my point of view, and i am by no means an expert, the Chinese brands have been getting more high-end. But cheap. And people whom i know use them haven't told of any issues running them in English or "International". That could be subjective. I can't attest to Android updates. And I suppose there might be a concern of the Chinese government spying on you. :)

Yeah. But even amogn Chinese brands, there are those that are worth buying and those that aren't. Here in Europe, at least, OnePlus and Huawei are those hat have clear ambitions to become "real" contenders in the phone market. Xiaomi is obviously huge, too, but they seem to ignore rest of the world for the time being.
Besides those three brands, it is always a bit hit-and-miss what to buy when considering a Chinese brand, IMHO :-)

WOW......1 article in six days with a seemingly average article count of 3-4 every 7-8 days.
AD is simply a "read and go" website now. I mean, not even enough articles to keep the reader engaged to POSSIBLY click an ad for revenue.
AD ain't what it used to be.

Yeah, we're having a shortage in English staff for the time being. Apologies for this - and this is something we'll fix by Autumn.
