Nokia’s comeback nears with Nokia 8 Official Launch set for August 16

Nokia has reportedly started sending out invites for an August 16 event on which it will make the Nokia 8 official.

This will be the first Nokia flagship in 3 years, and the first Android-powered premium handset with the Nokia brand. It will also be the the first smartphone by the Finns with a dual-camera.

The latest rumors suggest the Nokia 8 will boast a 5.3-inch QHD display, full metal body, dual 13MP rear cameras developed in partnership with Zeiss, a Snapdragon 835 chipset and 4GB or 6GB of RAM.

Those specs would put the Nokia 8 in line with top phones such as the HTC U11, OnePlus 5, LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8.

The Nokia 8 has been rumored for months, but the leaks and speculation are due to come to an end in just a few weeks.
