I'm switching from a 7t. The Nord looks and feels like plastic, but I'll get a case and that won't matter. The action on the buttons feels similar to 7t. Missing the hardware ringer switch, which I will miss. That said, For the price, it's fantastic.

I miss the slide button as well; however, I didn't use it all that often, so when I do need it, I've gotten used to using the quick setting tile. I can access it while the phone is locked so it's a decent compromise.
As far as the feel, I'm ok with plastic. I'm using a case, so that helps also.
Edit: oh, I'm switching up from the 6T. So in some ways it's a downgrade and other ways it's a lateral upgrade rather than a full upgrade. The 5G speeds are nice, when I get them. I think in my area (DFW area of Texas) I'm getting mostly LTE since T-Mobile has a really good LTE base here. As far as 5G.

Awful. It's all plastic, the phone looks and feels cheap. The only real gripes I have with the phone is the LCD screen and the quality of the build materials. It's definitely not worth it, if I could go back I would buy another phone. If the development for the device was amazing then I could forgive some of the short comings, but as is it's a no-go in my book

Probably my biggest gripe with this phone. Those buttons! What in god's name happened there? They float about, feel light and give rather limp clicky feedback. This is one area where my HTC 10 mullers the Nokia. I'd extent that to the monoblock alloy body where HTC is king (or was ?).

Plus the placement is a bit on the high side.

Nothing wrong with my buttons. You may have a faulty device.

Not faulty just not great in my opinion, which I'm entitled to, as are you.
my Nokia 8 buttons are hard to press, with or without case

Maybe it`s too soon for this post but after month of use I think I can tell some info. I have used it naked for the first 10 days after I bought it and I didn`t experienced any problems.
But because of the glass back I got hard shell for it so the only thing I care about now is the state of everything but the outside frame and the glass back.
And I`m happy to report that the phone works perfect.
I love the tactile feel of the physical buttons.
The touchscreen is perfect and works precisely with my super dry skin as many other phones doesn`t even detect my fingers. My skin is so dry that I don`t left fingerprints on the screen for 99% of the time I`m using it.
With that being said I have read numerous comments about quality of the frame - specifically for the paint. It`s polycarbonate and apparently get easily scratched.
This was the reason why I chose black color. But with my hard shell on top of it doesn`t matter anymore for me so yeah.

Note8 was top heavy.
LG v series always feels unbelievable lightweight

I have to disagree. I am coming from LG G7. That hollow sound has to do with Boombox speaker bass reflex empty housing beneath the back glass cover. Same as on G7 Thinq.
Just got it and inboxes. Incoming opinions. First impressions : THIS PHONE HAS SUPER QUALITY! 3 types of NFC - credit card clonning for payments on every single POS, insane cameras, insane camera software, video portraits, insane hapric feedback, insane display, insane back cover design, insane battery, insane front cameras, slow motion, live in YouTube from camera software, and many many more. TV app that let's you scan TV posts just like radio app. Hdmi support. Insane Amp. 50ohm impedance mode not a problem even with my 37ohm headphones. Another league over g7 or g8. Never tought this.

Cal lme crazy but I MUCH prefer plastic over glass. I love the plastic back. the matte finish is amazing. it doesn't break either.
it feels great in the hand, tho the front screen feels a little cheap due to the uneven bezels but eh.
I just upgraded my dead S7 to the S20 FE 5G. Does it feel "different" from my S7? Yes. I've read some reviews (where even the reviewer gave it to his wife to hold without saying anything) where they said it feels "cheap". I do not feel that way at all. It doesn't feel "cheap" to me. To me, that feeling is subjective at best.
But overall, I'm very pleased with this device. Of course, coming from my S7 of 6+ years (which was getting very slow), the S20 feels so much faster and smoother. I'm sure the 120hz refresh helps, but so many of the other features this phone has just renewed my joy in having a smartphone again. The S7 turned into just another device that I had, but now, with the S20 (even though it's been almost 2 years since it was first released), has just made having a mobile phone fun again for me. And coming from an S7 (with the glass back, etc), this new phone does not feel "cheap" to me.
I'm not disparaging those that feel that way, but just makes me wonder if they're used to having high-end devices that many of us refuse to spend over $1K on a phone for. Again, coming from an S7 to this, I do not feel like I've taken a step down. And for the price ($600), I think this is a great deal. Sure, it's only slated to get one more OS upgrade to Android 13, but then, I made my S7 last for 6+ years, and that's how I am. I'm not the type that upgrades my device every 2 to 3 years. I use my devices until they die.
I do miss a glass back, but out of all the plastic "premium" backs, this is the best in both feel and look.
It do make the phone lighter compared to glass though.
The screen touch feels fine, perfect sensitivity (a little too sensitive but just slight), the buttons have a nice feel and the aluminum frame is a nice touch.
All in all, nothing special (all phones with the same specs of material will feel the same) but out of the budget phones, this is the "premium" feel

This is a 1st day review for the 4GB/64GB variant, so hold on a bit for more updates!
Let's talk about Quality!
The phone is pretty big considering the ₹8000 price range. Sits well with the hand though!
When it comes to the body, I would say it's okish as it has one minor design flaw! I noticed one: The sim tray goes a bit deeper than the actual body which isn't visually noticable!
Other than that it feels pretty fine with the (gradient variant) back design language.
The build material seems solid too, being a single back panel which extends to the sides (making it more rigid)!
The speaker placement is odd for me, but good for gamers who play in landscape mode eventually blocking the sound if it were a down firing one!
