Nokia 8, all about the latest Nordic flagship

Nokia 8 official

It's hard to disappear from the map and come back to catch up with the best in a matter of months. And it is exactly what the Nordic Nokia is achieving, which after its time as part of Microsoft, has returned to be one of the best Android options of the moment. Y he does it with his new Nokia 8.

This Nokia 8 will be the flagship of the company for the coming months. Some details about its characteristics had been leaked. And it was already announced as a team that would come to eat a piece of the cake. In addition, if everything goes as announced, its price is not excessive and more taking into account the amounts that are being paid for some models such as the Samsung Galaxy 8. If your curiosity has piqued you, let's take a closer look at this Nokia 8 and what it brings to the sector.

QHD display and aluminum chassis

If we remember something about the old Nokia, it is that its designs were impeccable. It had to be recognized that before Samsung bet on its renewal in terms of design, Nokia and few other companies were betting on a block form factor. And this Nokia 8 continues that tradition. Yes, polycarbonate is left aside to go to a material that gives a better impression: we are talking about aluminum.

On the other hand, the Nokia 8 screen is not one of the largest at the moment, but its size will be more than enough to read the content on it comfortably. Its size is 5,3 inches diagonally and offers a maximum QHD resolution; that is, 1.440 x 2.560 pixels. Therefore, you will not be able to complain about the quality of the images that are projected on it. In addition, so that you can use it in full sun, the screen of this Nokia 8 offers a brightness of 700 nits.

State-of-the-art power with plenty of storage

Nokia did not want to play it. So the best thing was to bet on the latest in the market. And the latest is what models like the Samsung Galaxy S8 or OnePlus 5 carry. We will tell you another way: the heart of the Nokia 8 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. This chip is 8 cores, four of them working at 2,36 GHz and four of them at 1,9 GHz).

To this processor must be added a 4GB RAM that, although it is not the model that contributes the most at the moment, it does ensure good performance for a while. Also, the amount of storage that you will have available to save various files is 64 GB that you can increase with the use of MicroSD cards of up to 256 GB plus. Therefore, you will have an external hard drive in your pocket.

Nokia 8 with Dual Sight function

Double camera with very interesting functions

We knew that Nokia was not going to disappoint in the multimedia section. And we were right. Although it still needs to be tested in situ, Nokia's bet is on a double camera on the back signed by Zeiss - this is also preserved from its previous stage. This chamber consists of two 13 megapixel sensors each one, one of them being monochromatic. The mixture of both captures will give us the best result.

Meanwhile, on the front we have a 13 megapixel sensor again to make video calls and popular ones selfies. In addition, flash is provided and it will be effective through the screen.

Now, the most interesting thing is given by the Dual-sight function. This will allow us to record simultaneous videos with the rear and front cameras. If to this we add the function Nokia OZO surround sound, the result is an experience that few terminals of the moment can offer. In addition, these types of videos will be seen matches on the screen; that is, in one half of the screen you will see what is recorded by the rear camera and in the other half you will see what is recorded by the front camera. These videos can be perfect for those who love to upload clips to both YouTube and Instagram. Have they found a new trend? We will see it in the coming months.

State-of-the-art operating system and connections

We will have all kinds of connections in this Nokia 8. We can connect to next-generation 4G networks to be able to surf the Internet as if we were doing it from our fiber optic connection. You can use the latest standard in ports, USB-C. You can connect accessories to the Nokia 8 via NFC technology or Bluetooth 5.0 —More energy savings. And you can use dual channel WiFi connection.

Also, in the unlocking section of the equipment we will have a fingerprint reader on the front that will help the user to access their smartphone quickly and safely. As for the operating system, Nokia bets on its new stage for Android. And what better than to do it with a stock Android - without custom layers - and provide the latest version of the moment: Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

Nokia 8 autonomy and availability

We come to the end of everything this new Nokia 8 offers. But we cannot say goodbye without giving you figures on its autonomy. The battery that is added in this Nordic flagship is 3.090 milliamps capacity. We do not know if with the powerful screen that the mobile offers it will last all day, but we can tell you that it will be compatible with Quci Charge 3.0 fast charging. This technology promises a charge four times faster than a conventional one.

Finally, tell you that the Nokia 8 will appear on the markets next September around the world at a price of 599 euros, an amount that seems good to us for everything that this team offers us.
