The Nokia 8: A True-Blue Android Flagship
As we've seen since the return of Nokia, the company has been releasing three Android smartphones - Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6. However, not until today have we seen a true-blue Nokia and Droid flagship in the form of the Nokia 8. We're excited to bring you this hands-on review of the phone, which is designed to be the ultimate storytelling device.
Design: A Premium Look with a Thinner Profile
The Nokia 8 looks very much like the Nokia 3, except for its thinner profile and more rounded backside that fits comfortably in your hand. The phone feels premium to the touch, with a sculpted aluminum unibody design that exudes quality. One of the notable features of the Nokia 8 is that it has moved the antenna bands from the top and bottom of the device to ensure a clean and uninterrupted design, which also results in superior reception. What's more, the phone is incredibly thin, measuring just 7.3 millimeters at its thickest point, and an impressive 4.6 millimeters at its thinnest.
The Nokia 8 is not the most flashy of size phones, but it packs a punch. The phone's thickness has been reduced significantly compared to its predecessors, making it easier to carry around. The phone's design is a testament to Nokia's commitment to creating premium devices that are both functional and visually appealing.
Dual Camera: A Game-Changer in Photography
The standout feature of the Nokia 8 is its dual camera, which is co-engineered with optics experts Citiz and Neat. Both cameras are identical, with each being a 13-megapixel shooter. One camera shoots black-and-white photos, while the other captures color photos. The magic happens when these two cameras combine to produce better shots, similar to what far away and Leica do on the p10.
But that's not all - if necessary, the Nokia 8 will sometimes even combine multiple shots to produce awesome, even better low-light photos. We put this feature to the test by taking a photo indoors with minimal lighting, and then doing a mini setup underneath a table to push it further. The results were impressive, showcasing the phone's capabilities in both bright and dim light conditions.
The camera app itself offers a range of features that will appeal to content creators. You can go live on Facebook and YouTube, or switch between audio recording modes with the partnership with Ozo Audio for hi-fi surround sound capture from video mode. The Nokia 8 is also designed to provide the best experience for users, which is one of the things we love about Nokia phones - their pure Android experience without any custom software.
Specs: A Match for Other Flagships
The Nokia 8 comes with a pretty impressive spec sheet that matches other flagships in the market today. The phone runs on Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) out of the box, but with Android O on the horizon, Nokia promises to be one of the first to provide updates for this device.
The phone is available in two colors - blue steel and bluish black - both of which look sleek and stylish. The phone retails for 599 euros, which is a competitive price point considering its specs and features.
Conclusion: A Hands-On Review of the Nokia 8
In conclusion, our hands-on review of the Nokia 8 has shown us that this device is indeed a true-blue Android flagship. With its premium design, dual camera capabilities, and impressive specs, it's clear that Nokia has put a lot of thought into creating a phone that will appeal to content creators and photography enthusiasts alike.
We're excited to see how the phone performs in real-world usage and whether it lives up to our expectations. Until then, we recommend checking out our review video on YouTube and following us on social media for more updates on this device.
