The Nokia 8 is a flagship Nokia-branded smartphone running the Android operating system.[2] Announced on 16 August 2017 in London, England by HMD Global.[3][4][5] The phone began sales in Europe in September 2017. Nokia 8 is the first high-end Nokia-branded device since the Nokia Lumia 930 in 2014. An improved version, the Nokia 8 Sirocco, was announced on 25 February 2018 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.[6]

Specifications

[edit]

Design

[edit]

The Nokia 8 has a 5.3-inch display and averages 7.3 mm thick and 4.3 mm thick at the edges. It is available in four colors: Polished Blue, Polished Copper, Tempered Blue, and Steel.[7] The device features a full-length graphite-shielded copper cooling pipe for efficient cooling.[8] The phone is not water-resistant, but is IP54 splash-resistant.[9]

Hardware

[edit]

The Nokia 8 comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU, backed by either 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage (Tempered Blue, Steel, and Polished Copper-coloured models), or 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage (Polished Blue). Both are expandable with microSD cards. The QHD display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The device has a USB-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.[2]

Cameras and multimedia

[edit]
The backside of the Nokia 8 with camera

The Nokia 8 is the first Nokia-branded phone to feature a dual-lens camera system. The rear camera module includes a set of two 13 MP sensors, of which one is an RGB sensor, and the other a monochrome sensor. The rear camera is equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS), f/2.0 aperture, PDAF, an IR rangefinder, and a dual-LED flash.[2]

The front and rear cameras' combined standout feature is an advanced dualphotographic image camera (rebranded "Bothie" by Nokia), where the cameras can be used simultaneously by dividing the screen into a split-image setup, a technology Nokia calls Dual-Sight mode.[10][11] Both the front and main cameras use ZEISS optics.[12]

Video recording can be done in resolutions of 2160p at 30fps (4K) and 1080p at 30fps (FHD), with single-touch live streaming to social networks.[13] The cellphone contains several microphones able to record spatial audio 360° with binaural audio codecs, providing high fidelity playback through OZO Audio technology, which was derived from the Nokia OZO camera. The phone is equipped with a single bottom mounted loudspeaker, so is not fully Dolby Atmos compatible.[11][14]

These audio outputs use OZO spatial audio playback to produce high quality 360° surround sound from stereo speakers (or ear buds) and use decoding standards compatible with Dolby Atmos and other earlier surround sound standards.[15]

Software

[edit]

Like the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6, the device ran a near-stock version of Android 7.1.1 Nougat on release.[11] One difference is the camera mobile app, so as to cater for the phone's Dual-Sight feature. It also comes with an always-on display, similar to Nokia's previous Glance Screen on the Nokia Lumia series.[16]

On 24 November 2017, HMD started rolling out a partial (excluding the Treble feature for device independent system updates)[1] software upgrade to Android 8.0 Oreo. The main rollout was phased over two days, however some network operators released the software upgrade in the following weeks.[17]

On 13 February 2018, Nokia released Android 8.1 Oreo for the Nokia 8.[18][19]

On 27 September 2018, it was announced that the Nokia 8's bootloader could be unlocked.[20]

On 19 December 2018, Android 9.0 Pie was released for the Nokia 8.[21][22]

Reception

[edit]

The Nokia 8 generally received positive reviews.

James Peckham of TechRadar praised the device for its "beautiful design, especially with shiny effect, dual-sensor rear camera with interesting software, and gorgeous QHD display", while criticising the "lack of unique features, slightly higher price and lack of waterproofing".[14]

Andrew Lanxon of CNET praised the performance and battery, while criticising the "lack of some cutting-edge features for a high-end phone in 2017, like waterproofing and a slim, standout design".[23]

Rehan Hooda of Firstpost praised the software, display and performance, while criticising the camera.[24]
