Nokia 8 is a high-end Nokia-branded smartphone running Android Nougat.[1] Announced on 16 August 2017 in London, England, it was developed by HMD Global, which designed previous Nokia-branded phones.[2][3] The phone began sales in Europe in September 2017. Nokia 8 is the first high-end Nokia-branded device since Nokia Lumia 930 in 2014.


Specifications[edit]

Design[edit]

The phone is not water-resistant, but is IP54 splash-resistant.[4] The Nokia 8 has a 5.3" display and averages 7.3 mm thick and 4.3 mm thick at the edges. It is available in four colors: Polished Blue, Polished Copper, Tempered Blue and Steel.[5] 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.[6]

Hardware[edit]

Nokia 8 comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU, backed by either 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage (Tempered Blue, Steel and Polished Copper-coloured models), or 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage (Polished Blue). Both are expandable with microSD cards. The QHD display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The device includes the USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 port for charging and data transfer (up to 5 Gbit/s).[citation needed]

Cameras and multimedia[edit]

Nokia 8 is the first Nokia-branded phone to feature a dual-lens camera system. The rear camera module includes a set of two 13 MP sensors, of which one is an RGB sensor, and the other a monochrome sensor. The rear camera is equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS), f/2.0 aperture, PDAF, an IR rangefinder, and a dual-LED flash.[citation needed]
The front and rear cameras' combined standout feature is the "Bothie" image, where the cameras can be used simultaneously by dividing the screen into a split-image setup, a technology Nokia calls Dual-Sight mode.[7] Both the front and main cameras use ZEISS optics.[8]
Video recording can be done in resolutions of 2160p at 30fps (4K) and 1080p at 30fps (FHD), with single-touch live streaming to social networks.[citation needed] The cellphone contains several microphones able to record spatial audio 360° with binaural audio codecs, providing high fidelity playback through OZO Audio technology, which was derived from the Nokia OZO camera. It is equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack.[9]

Software[edit]

Like the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6, it runs a near-stock version of Android 7.1.1 "Nougat".[10] One difference is the camera mobile app, so as 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.[11]
HMD stated that the phone will receive the Android 8.0 Oreo update.[12]
