Nokia's upcoming flagship Android smartphone, Nokia 8, is scheduled to launch in a few hours[1]. The Nokia 8[2] will launch at 12 am on August 17 at an event in London. This smartphone takes its place above other Nokia[3] products such as Nokia 6[4]Nokia 5[5], and Nokia 3[6]. The company will be hoping to take on iPhone 8[7] and Samsung Galaxy Note 8[8] with the Nokia 8, and we'll find out soon whether Nokia's ambition will be realised via this flagship smartphone. 

The Nokia 8 launch event time is 7:30pm BST (12am IST), according to invites sent by HMD Global[9]. According to earlier leaks, the Nokia 8 runs[10] Android 7.1 Nougat and packs a 5.3-inch QHD display; a variant with Android 8.0.0 has also been leaked[11] online. Those rumours claimed that the smartphone will be powered by a Snapdragon 835, 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage. Leaks also expect the smartphone to feature variants with 6GB RAM and 8GB RAM. It is rumoured to feature two 13-megapixel rear cameras with optics from Carl Zeiss, and a 13-megapixel front camera is expected as well.

recent report[12] suggests that the Nokia 8 will be priced at EUR 589 (roughly Rs. 43,400). That price puts it in a lower bracket when compared with other flagship smartphones in the market right now. It is also lower than the earlier tipped[13] price of EUR 749 (roughly Rs. 55,300). We'll find out more about the smartphone once it launches. With only a few hours for the Nokia 8 launch, the wait for all the official specifications and price is not too long.
