If the rumors originating in the United States and China are taken into account, then HMD has named the latest flagship as nokia 8, and not Nokia 9. Pictures of the mobile phone have leaked in what looks like marketing material in the United States. One of the pictures shows that the Nokia 8 has a bezel-less design, but camera position is different from the three sketches send to us in a tip. We feel that the phone's look and specs are different from what we have seen in previous leaks. Also, if this is the real deal, an Iris scanner and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor are confirmed.
Nokia 8 releasing soon with cutting-edge specifications
The Nokia 8 is rumored to come with a 5.40-inch touchscreen display and a resolution of 1440 pixels by 2560 pixels. The device will be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The Finnish tech giant is expected to get rid of the 4GB RAM storage variant option. Instead, it will either offer 5GB or 7GB RAM storage options. The device will fall in direct competition with the rest of the famous smartphones such as samsung galaxy Note 8, Google Pixel 2, Samsung Galaxy S8, and OnePlus 5.
According to Android Headlines, the new Nokia phone will have 64GB of internal storage. As far as the camera is concerned, it is rumored to pack a 25-megapixel primary camera on the rear.
Powered by a 3900mAh non-removable battery, the smartphone will run Android 7.1. The Nokia 8 is tipped to be a dual SIM with lots of connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3G, and 4G. Plus, it has passed certifications in various countries.

As per a tip received last night, the Nokia 8 may be priced around $1,000 in the United States.
In Europe, its price may be around 740 euros. The Nokia 8 is expected to be launched on August 17, but some sources hint at a sooner release.
It is true that Nokia had terrible last six years, but we cannot neglect the fact that the company provided its customers with various memorable phones in last few years. In fact, Nokia is said to launch a series of new smartphones in collaboration with Microsoft and Apple Inc.
At the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, the company launched three major devices: Nokia 3, 5 and 6. There is no official word on Nokia 8's color. So, it looks like fans have to wait a little more before the company begins its promotional campaigns.
