The smartphone is expected to be built using metal. Nokia is further speculated to launch the upcoming Nokia 8 smartphone in four color variants, namely Blue, Steel, Gold/Blue and Gold/Copper as well. The device will also come packed with a 3.5mm audio jack that will be located on the top of the device.
