Nokia 8 Launched With Dual Cameras, OZO 360 Audio, Snapdragon 835

After a series of leaks and rumors, HMD Global has finally unveiled its first ever Android flagship phone Nokia 8. The device will go on sale in early September across Europe for a price of 599 Euros. At this price point, it faces fierce competition from the likes of Galaxy S8, LG G6, etc.

Contrary to the 2017 flagship standards, the Nokia 8 comes with thick bezels around the display. The antennae are placed at the top and bottom edges without blemishing the look of the phone. 13 MP dual camera setup with Zeiss optics and Ozo audio support are key highlights of the smartphone.
