Design and Display

The Nokia 8 takes on the looks or should I say, the form factor of the last three Nokia models, but still stands out as a flagship. It spots a sleek and attractive design in an all-aluminum body made of 6000 series aluminum that curves at the back and sides.

The Nokia 8 is 151.5 mm long, 73.7 mm wide and 7.9 mm thick, and it weighs 160g. It comes in four colors: Polished Blue, Polished Copper, Steel and Tempered Blue.

The Nokia 8 features a 5.3-inch Quad-HD IPS LCD (2560 x 1440 pixels) display at 554 pixels-per-inch and can achieve brightness levels of up to 700 nits. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

This display will definitely be bright and vibrant and should provide flawless viewing experience.

Camera

With most flagship devices, there is always a stand-out feature which is meant to distinguish it from the rest. In other words, the selling point of the device. For the Nokia 8, it's the camera.

The Nokia 8 is equipped with dual 13-megapixel rear camera with ZEISS optics. In the front, also, is a wide-angle 13-megapixel selfie shooter with LED flash and auto focus, with ZEISS optics as well. Both the rear and front cameras can shoot videos at 2160p (2K).

One of the rear camera is a regular RGB sensor while the other is a monochrome sensor. Both cameras utilize the 'Image Fusion Technology'; a feature that merges two separate photos taken with each individual camera into one thereby producing a single photo with greater contrast.

Another great feature which is meant to target content creators is the 'bothie' camera feature. This feature splits the display 50/50 and allows you snap photos or shoot videos with both the front and back cameras simultaneously. You can also stream videos to Facebook Live or YouTube directly from the native camera app.

Also baked into the Nokia 8 is the Ozo Audio: the first in any smartphone. This is a top-tier audio recording that makes use of multiple microphones to capture high dynamic range and record binaural audio.

With this, people watching Livestream such as Facebook Live will be able to hear stereo sounds from the recording, through headphones, without a need for an additional software.

Other features like dual-tone LED flash, autofocus, phase detection, face detection, touch focus, HDR, OIS, panorama, geo-tagging also accompanies the Nokia 8 camera.

There is a built-in advanced cooling system that makes use of a copper pipe and graphite shielding that helps disperse heat evenly across the Nokia 8. This helps curb overheating on a particular spot on the phone and will reportedly allow you to push the performance harder for longer.
