Nokia 8 is a high-end Nokia-branded smartphone running Android Nougat. It is the first flagship from HMD Global, the company behind Nokia's new phones. The Nokia 8 was announced on 16 August 2017 in London, England and is expected to go on sale in Europe in September 2017.

Specifications

Hardware

The Nokia 8 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, backed by either 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage (Tempered Blue, Steel and Polished Copper), or 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage (Polished Blue) - both expandable with microSD. It has a 5.3" QHD display protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It is Nokia's first phone to feature a dual-lens camera system. The rear camera comes with OIS and a dual-LED flash. The camera's standout feature is a "Bothie" image, where the front and rear cameras can be used simultaneously by dividing the screen, a technology they called Dual-Sight. Both cameras use ZEISS optics. It contains several microphones able to record spatial audio 360-degrees with binaural codecs, providing high fidelity playback, a technology called OZO Audio and derived from the Nokia OZO camera. Its ports include a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a USB-C charging and data transfer port. It lacks any water resistance, but is IP54 splash resistant. The Nokia 8 is 7.3 mm thin in average and 4.3 mm thin at the edges. It is available in four color variants - Polished Blue, Polished Copper, Tempered Blue and Steel. The device features a full-length graphite shielded copper cooling pipe that is designed to pull the heat away from the Snapdragon 835 chip and dissipate it across the full length and breadth of the smartphone.

Software

Like the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6, it is confirmed to run near-stock Android 7.1.1 "Nougat". The camera application is different to cater for the phone's Dual-Sight feature. It also comes with an always-on display, similar to Nokia's previous Glance Screen on the Nokia Lumia series.
