After a lot of rumors and leaks, Nokia has finally launched its flagship device, the Nokia 8.
A first for mobile phones, the exclusive Dual-Sight mode lets you use both front and back cameras simultaneously for split-screen photos and video.
Nokia is successfully making its comeback in the smartphone market by launching some amazing phones. Previously, Nokia targeted the mid range market by launching the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 and it managed to sell a significant number of phones and establish itself again in the market.
The Design:
The Nokia 8 undergoes a rigorous 40-stage process of machining, anodizing and polishing to ensure its distinctive design pairs flawlessly with the polished aluminium unibody. The ultimate in seamless unibody construction, Nokia 8 is designed to nestle perfectly in the palm of your hand.
Super-slim cameras with ZEISS optics:
Nokia 8 features a 13 MP dual image-fusion rear camera with both colour and monochrome sensors, plus a wide-angle 13 MP phase detection auto-focus front camera. Both front and rear cameras are equipped with ZEISS optics, meaning every snapshot moment becomes a story worth sharing.
Hardware and OS:
Moving to the actual numbers, you get Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 835 that is paired with an Adreno 540 GPU. Handling all the multitasking is 4 GB of RAM.
However, if for some reason you think that 4GB of RAM is not enough, Nokia also has a 6GB RAM variant. This particular variant will come only in the Glossy Blue color and will come with 128 GB of internal storage, meanwhile the 4 GB RAM variant will have 64 GB of internal storage.
As with the previous smartphones released by Nokia, the 8 also runs a clean version of Android 7.1.1 right out of the box and Nokia says it will be one of the first devices to get the Android O update when it becomes available.
