14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia is expected to announce a series of smartphones during MWC 2017, one of which could be the Nokia 8. According to a recent report by GizmoChina, Nokia 8 was spotted at online retailer JD.com in China.
The smartphone was listed for the price of $463, but the online retailer didn’t reveal when the smartphone would be officially launched. Previous reports indicated that the smartphone would make an appearance during MWC later this month.
The listing also reveals some images of the Nokia 8 or P1, and the pictures show a device similar to renders that leaked a few weeks ago. Take this information with a grain of salt, though, as the listing might not show the actual upcoming flagship.
5.7-inch display with Quad HD resolution
The upcoming flagship is rumored to come with squared corners and a metal frame, as well as a 22.3MP rear-facing camera. It’s also said to feature a 3.5mm audio jack and USB Type-C port. Moreover, the phone might not have a physical home button on the front panel. Front camera capacity might reach 12MP, while the rear camera could have OIS and super EIS features.
The display size could reach 5.7 inches with Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution, while the device could possibly run Snapdragon 821 SoC. There have been reports about SD835 inside, but that might not be the case considering that the phone is rumored to come during MWC 2017 and Samsung has dibs on the initial production of SD835 chips for its Galaxy S8 phones.
The Nokia P1 or 8 could come with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box and offer 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, which could be expanded to 256GB using a microSD card. The phone appears to come in two color variants, black and silver. Since it was listed on JD.com, Nokia 8 might be subject to a flash sale after its official launch, just like Nokia 6.
