Nokia 8 - Finally a FLAGSHIP phone from NOKIA???

A new leak has detailed the internal specifications of the upcoming Nokia 8, the premium handset manufactured by HMD Global. The Nokia 8 is the same device as the Nokia 9 that was already leaked in the past. The information regarding the internal specs came from the German publication WinFuture, which claims that the Nokia 8 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 835 chipset from Qualcomm. The flagship offering from the semiconductor firm has eight 64-bit processing cores, which is divided into two clusters. The high-performance cluster is comprised of four Kryo 280 CPUs clocked at 2.45GHz while the low-performance cluster has four CPUs clocked at a lower 1.9GHz. The chipset is also equipped with the Adreno 540 GPU, which should provide sufficient graphics processing horsepower to push the pixels on the handset’s 5.7-inch 2K display.

Aside from the processor, the leak also mentioned that the Nokia 8 will sport 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal flash storage. 4GB of RAM should suffice for the usual multitasking workload and storage needs of average consumer. The report also mentions that the Nokia 8 will be equipped with a dual SIM card slot, which is a popular feature in many markets, especially in Asia.

 HMD will likely ship the Nokia 8 in numerous color variations. The report claims that the phone will be sold in blue, steel/silver, gold/blue, and gold/copper variants. As clearly hinted, the dual cameras are stacked vertically accompanied by a laser autofocus sensor and a dual-tone LED flash. This purportedly confirms that the Nokia 8 will feature a dual camera system with Zeiss branding, a move aimed to position the phone against the iPhone 7 Plus, one of the highest rated smartphones in the market. It has also been previously leaked that the smartphone will be equipped with a dual rear camera setup. However, it is not yet known whether the handset manufacturer will mimic the dual camera setups that other OEMs like LG and Huawei have implemented or if HMD will equip the device with its own novel design. No details have been revealed by HMD Global, the Finnish company that owns the rights to sell Nokia-branded devices. However, we already know that the company has recently inked an exclusive partnership with German lens maker Zeiss to design hardware and software for upcoming phones. Nokia 8 is speculated to go official on July 31.Also, the device is believed to be priced around $680 (approx. Rs. 44,000).

In all Nokia seems to have got a flagship worthy phone sparing waterproofing and a great speaker which nokia seems to have given a miss. Fortunately nokia seems to be retaining the 3.5 mm jack though which has become out of fashion thanks to apple.
