The Nokia 8 is a masterful blend of new tech and old partnerships, as HMD Oy has managed to sign up previous Nokia collaborators Zeiss to provide the lens used in the Nokia 8’s dual 13-megapixel rear cameras, much to the delight of OG techheads of past.
The Nokia 8 is housed in a unibody aluminum shell, sports a 5.3-inch QHD IPS display plus truly flagship-level hardware, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage plus IP54 certification.
The Nokia 8 will retail at Php 29,990 – pricing that’s quite lower than what the company initially announced for European customers. At that price it’ll be giving LG’s G6 and Huawei’s P10 seriously stiff competition.
