HMD Global announced the re-entry of the Nokia brand in the mobile market late last year, and the Nokia 6 became the first phone to be unveiled under the new arrangement. This was followed by the launch of the Nokia 5 and the Nokia 3, with the focus very much on the entry-level segment. That changed in August when the Nokia 8 was unveiled at a special event in London. This device is the realisation of a long-held dream of many enthusiasts - a Nokia-branded Android smartphone with flagship-class specifications.
Nokia 8 Summary
The Nokia 8 is one of the first premium phones to come out of HMD Global's revival of the Nokia brand. It offers good build quality, a great display, excellent performance with stock Android, the promise of regular updates, first-class battery life, and good cameras with some neat tricks. On the flip-side, some might find the design boring, it isn’t fully waterproof like many competitors are, and the low-light camera performance could’ve been better. It packs the flagship Snapdragon 835 SoC but sets itself apart with near-stock Android. The front and rear cameras boast of Carl Zeiss optics. The 5.3-inch QHD IPS LCD screen has a resolution of 1440x2560 and colour reproduction is accurate. You also get 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 3090mAh battery but you will have to choose between a Nano-SIM and a microSD card for the second slot. The Nokia 8 is IP54-rated, which means it’s not waterproof, though you do get protection from water sprays.
