After months of rumours, HMD Global finally launched Nokia 8[1] flagship smartphone. In terms of design, there are no real surprises here as it's pretty much the same phone as we saw in all the leaks. However, we now have details about Nokia 8[2] pricing, availability and some of its 'unique' features. The Nokia 8 will be available "globally" in early September at a price of EUR 599 (approximately Rs. 45,000). An HMD Global[3] representative told Gadgets 360 the Nokia 8 India launch will be in early October, and the Nokia 8 price in India will be known closer to launch.
The unibody Nokia 8 is built out of 6000-series aluminium, is IP54 rated and boasts of a new feature dubbed 'bothie'.

The viewfinder splits into two screens for video feed from the front and rear camera. You'll also be able to livestream a bothie to Facebook and YouTube. The smartphone is powered by a Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There are dual 13-megapixel rear cameras with Carl Zeiss optics.
