Nokia 8 Smartphone Rumored to Feature Snapdragon 835 SoC & Dual Lens Camera

Hi MIUIers

While the earlier rumors suggested the company to launch a flagship smartphone powered by the new Snapdragon 835 SoC at the MWC, but nothing was mentioned about this device on the stage. Once again, we are seeing the rumors about the Nokia 8 and now, it is mentioned to launch in two variants. The leaks suggest the device launch in June with different screen sizes. Most of the major manufacturers are launching their flagship devices in two different screen sizes to cater different audience. Now the upcoming Nokia 8 will be coming in two different sizes sporting similar hardware.

Both the variants will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 SOC built on the 10nm FinFET process. The devices will be coming in 4GB and 6GB RAM variants along with different storage capacities. We also expect the device to feature metal built unibody design instead of the glass back body as seen on the recently launched LG G6 and even the upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will also use glass on front and back of the device. On the rear, we might also see dual camera setup, but there won't be PureView or Carl Zeiss branding as seen on the year's old Nokia smartphones powered by Symbian and Windows Mobile OS.

The device will be running on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box without any customized UI on top. Except in China, the devices shipping to other countries will get the Google Assistant built-in. Though there is not much information about the device, the smaller variant is said to cost 4,000 Yuan (approx $580 / Rs. 38,500) whereas the other variant with bigger display might be priced around 4,500 Yuan (approx $650 / Rs. 43,500). The delay in Snapdragon 835 chipset production is making the smartphone manufacturers to postpone their launches.
