Top Features

Camera - Capturing both sides of the story

Delivering dual cameras which have never been seen or manufactured before. Both the front and rear cameras are designed with high colour duality with OIS and a dual tone flash to capture high-quality photos. Each is 13 MP and based on the Zeiss Optics technology, meaning every snapshot moment becomes a story worth sharing.

Another feature of these two cameras is that photos can be captured with the front and rear cameras simultaneously. So, you can nip a shot of what is at your front and at the same time capture what is behind you. The dual image-fusion rear camera with both colour and monochrome sensors, plus a wide-angle 13 MP phase detection auto-focus front camera captures the soothing images for live sharing.

In the reality of it, if you're a lover of selfies and photos, this is your type of device. You capture live streaming to social media allowing your followers and friends to feel the experience as it occurs from your side.

Design - Made with Ultimate Craftsmanship 

The glittering and reflective appearance of the phone confirms the manufacturer's description of the rigorous, technical and painstaking stages and process the design went through before the final product was delivered.

The Nokia 8 undergoes a rigorous 40-stage process of machining, anodising and polishing to ensure its distinctive design pairs flawlessly with the polished aluminium uni-body.

This design means that with one hand you can get a firm grasps and feel, plus the aesthetic presentation. The aluminium body acts as a shock-shield to protect hardware components from being damaged in the event of fall or sudden hitting.

The edges have been slightly curved to add further gloss to the sight and appearance. Likewise, the slimmed overall design ensures convenience for one-hand operation and assures portability. The dimensions stand at 151.5 mm x 73.7 mm x 7.9 mm.

Battery

The battery capacity is fairly rated at 3090 mAh which is non-removable. With this capacity, it reaches a standby talk time of 36  hours (1.5 days) and a heavy usage time of 24 hours (1 day). This allows you to watch your favourite videos, play songs from your top music, stream online videos and watch slideshows of your fancied snapshots.

Software

The multi-tasking capability of this phone is made possible by the Operating System on which it runs. Android 7.1.1 (Android Nougat) is an upgraded version of Nougat 7.0 which allows users to perform different tasks at the same without exiting any of the windows of open applications. This is most useful when copying information from one application to another and in comparison information on two or more different applications. You can categorise your applications into a folder, customise your launcher and themes and set the nature of the icons.

Google Pay integration allows you to install your favourite applications. By default, it is loaded with several useful applications which are commonly used and desired in smartphones. But, you can add to these by visiting your preferred apps store - Google Play recommended.

Storage

There is enough storage capacity to save as many documents, files, applications and media as you want. With a RAM size of 4 GB and an octa-core processor speed of  2.5 MHz, the speed of operation is incomparable. The ROM (internal) memory is 64 GB of type UFS2.1 and is expandable up to 256 GB via a micro SD Card.

Never be disappointed and frustrated by insufficient storage space again!

Media

You get new dimensions of sound with standard OZO Audio technology which supports 360 degrees recording. It has a background noise reduction capability and an ambient sound reduction functionality that lets you accentuate the right sounds.

The 4K video captures your video clips uniquely with high resolution and imagery that maintains the tone, nature and truthfulness of the sight and sound.
