So the company held a launch event earlier today and finally made the device official. The Nokia 8 will indeed have the Snapdragon 835 SoC with 4GB of RAM (although one variant will have 6GB) and 64GB of UFS2.1 internal storage. There’s a microSD card slot for additional expansion and it also features what the company is calling Nokia OZO spatial 360° audio. The highlight here for many Android enthusiasts is that HDM Global is sticking with their stock Android OEM ROM and promises “fast updates.”
Their current lineup has been receiving security updates very quickly so we hope this continues as their portfolio expands. Both the front and rear of the device features a 13MP sensor with ZEISS optics, and we’re looking at a 5.3″ 1440p LCD polarized display protected with Gorilla Glass 5. The build of the Nokia 8 has been precision-machined from a single block of 6000 series aluminum and then given a polished mirror finish.
Nokia says the “Gloss Blue” variant will have 6GB of RAM with all other variants coming with 4GB of RAM; they list the colors available and we only see Polished Blue, Tempered Blue, Steel, Polished Copper listed. Lastly, it has a 3,090mAh battery, is IP54 certified, and features a 3.5mm ADJ headphone port. The phone is going on sale in Europe for €599 (~$700), and currently we know of no plans for a US release.
