Nokia 8 and Nokia 9 Specification, Price And Launch Date
Once the biggest and best-known mobile phone manufacturer, following some tough competition from iPhone and Android Nokia in 2011 made the fatal mistake of agreeing to produce only Windows phones. In 2014 it packed up its mobile phone game and sold its business to Microsoft. Fast-forward to 2017, and with Android onboard, this could be the Nokia comeback we’ve been waiting for or should i say “Nokia Resurrection”
The Nokia 8 or Nokia 9 is what’s expected to be the upcoming Nokia flagship, which will run the Snapdragon 835 processor. However, a tip-off suggests rather than it being a case of either/or, we could see both a Nokia 8 and a Nokia 9 with two flagship Nokia Android phone launches.
According to the source, one of the two handsets will be a full metal unibody phone with dual cameras. The key difference between the two will be the size of the screen. This is demonstrated by another leak reported by NokiaPowerUser that shows the Nokia 8 with dual cameras and a physical fingerprint reader. The supposed Nokia 9 which loses the fingerprint sensor to the rear while sporting a near bezelless design.
The Nokia 9 flagship is said to run Android Nougat and come with a 5.3in or 5.7in display with Gorilla Glass 5 and IP57 protection. As well as the aforementioned Snapdragon 835, it’s expected to get 6GB of RAM. A Carl Zeiss 22.6Mp camera could be found at the rear, and a 3,500mAh battery with Quick Charge 4.0 inside. Although the partnership between Zeiss and Nokia was thought to be no more, Nokia has confirmed it was talking only about its current range (the Nokia 3, 5 and 6) when it said Nokia phones will not use Carl Zeiss optics. And that’s great news for the upcoming Nokia 8.
Display and Configuration
The Nokia 8 has a gorilla glass on top and flaunts a 5.7-inch IPS LCD display with a screen resolution of 1,400 x 2,560 pixels. Under the hood, there are two quad-core processors – a 2.45GHz Kryo and another 1.9GHz Kryo for driving the system. It is aided by 6GB of RAM and Adreno 540 graphics engine. The smartphone boots on Android v7.0 (Nougat) operating system.
Body and Sensors
The handset measures 153 x 74 x 7.9mm, weighs 156 grams and is available in a black coloured body. Coming to the sensors, the phone features a fingerprint sensor at the front which is quick to respond. It also features a heart rate monitor which comes in handy for calculating your heart rate within seconds. Other sensors include light sensor, proximity sensor, accelerometer, compass, gyroscope etc.
Camera and Storage
The handset is stacked with a 24MP main camera which captures amazing shots. Even the 12MP selfie snapper also results in quality images. In terms of storage, an internal space of 64GB is available for the user. If not sufficient, one can make use of an external memory card (256GB maximum expandable).
Battery and Connectivity
Acting as a stamina provider, is a 3,000mAh li-ion battery which keeps the show running for long hours. On the connectivity ground, the phone offers options such as dual SIM, 4G (supports Indian bands), 3G, 2G, VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11, a/ac/b/g/n 5GHz, Dual antennas, MIMO, WEP, Wi-Fi Direct, Mobile Hotspot, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS with A-GPS, Glonass and NFC.

According to NPU, Nokia 9 would be priced at approximately $699 in the U.S. and EUR 749 in European markets. On the other hand, Nokia 8 is expected to be cheaper than Nokia 9.
The above specifications and features are just rumors, Nokia hasn’t officially disclosed any further information about these Android smartphones. So, there are chances that the details may vary or not turn out to be true in the future. Hopefully we expect this device to come an as a Nokia fan, I expect this.
