Not yet officially launched, the Nokia 8 has appeared online alongside with its important specs, features, and price. It seems the dual-camera-toting Android Nougat phone of the Finnish giant with HMD at the helm will see the reveal anytime soon.
More comparison and review
Thanks to a couple of photos, we can confirm that the biggest feature aside from those huge bezels (really, HMD?) is the dual-camera with possibly a 13MP sensor size for each and along the Carl Zeiss optics or lens.

Jumping to the other hardware features, the Nokia 8 is clad in full metal design and resembles the Nokia 6. The corners are rounded while the bezels on top and bottom are visibly thick. Nonetheless, the side bezels and curved screen seem to compensate for the extra space. And we just hope that there’s another useful feature on the top such as the stereo speaker or Iris Scanner.
Other rumored specs include the Snapdragon 835 octa-core CPU, 6GB RAM, and 64GB storage. Meanwhile, the pricing is said to be 600 Euro or about $600 (Php30,000) in the USA and the Philippines.
