Under ett lanseringsevent i London presenterade Nokia sent under onsdagen sitt kommande flaggskepp Nokia 8, en telefon som på punkt efter punkt utmanar konkurrenterna, med bland annat Qualcomms Snapdragon 835, 4 GB RAM och 64 GB lagringsutrymme.

Nokias pressmeddelande följer:

London, UK 16-08-2017 – HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announced the Nokia 8, a high performance, beautifully crafted smartphone, designed with content creators in mind. The Nokia 8 brings three world-firsts to Android smartphones, including a debut collaboration with ZEISS optics. With performance and Pure Android at its heart, as well as the most advanced aluminium unibody design to date, the Nokia 8 represents all the hallmarks of a true flagship Nokia smartphone.

Be less Selfie, be more Bothie: The Nokia 8 introduces a world-first in enabling Dual-Sight video to be livestreamed natively and in real-time to social feeds such as Facebook and YouTube. Dual-Sight simultaneously harnesses both the front and rear cameras in a split screen visual for both photos and videos. With just one touch, this world-first livestream capability gives more immersive experiences for those who love to create and share special memories.

Nokia 8 is also the first smartphone to feature Nokia OZO Audio, placing exclusive Hollywood technology in the palm of your hand. OZO spatial 360° audio brings a fully immersive audio experience to your 4K video. Leading-edge 360° audio capture ensures the playback lets you truly relive the moment so your memories never fade.

4.6mm thin at the edge and just 7.3mm slim on average, Nokia 8’s seamless unibody is precision milled from a single block of 6000 series aluminium and its pure design has been refined through a 40-stage process of machining, anodizing and polishing. Select models feature a high-gloss mirror finish that has taken over 20 hours to complete to achieve a flawless look. This attention to detail ensures the phone’s powerful SnapdragonTM 835 Mobile Platform works harder for longer. Running the latest pure, secure, and uncluttered Android with monthly security updates, the Nokia 8 gives you the most up to date Android experience possible.

Be less Selfie, be more #Bothie
There are two sides to every story and the Dual-Sight feature of Nokia 8 is designed to help you create and share the full picture. The first smartphone from HMD Global to feature ZEISS optics, Nokia 8 can simultaneously harness its front and rear-facing cameras to seamlessly capture vivid, memorable content like never before. Content creators can natively broadcast their unique creative stories to social media for the ultimate #Bothie. Fans can also enjoy unlimited[i] photo and video uploads to Google Photos.

A new dimension of sound with OZO Audio
Featuring OZO Audio, Nokia 8 combines three microphones with exclusive Nokia acoustic algorithms to capture audio with immersive 360° spatial surround sound. Share your 4K videos with OZO Audio anywhere – binaural codecs enable high fidelity playback even on devices without OZO Audio.

Innovation and precision engineering
Powered by the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 835 Mobile Platform, Nokia 8 doesn’t compromise on performance, delivering 11 hours of 4K video playback on a single charge.

The Nokia 8 has been designed from the ground up with the consumer in mind to deliver unique content capture capabilities, meaning it is as meticulously designed on the inside as it is on the outside. To keep your phone working harder for longer, the design, innovation and engineering teams worked hand-in-hand to deliver. The result is a full-length graphite shielded copper cooling pipe that dissipates the heat generated by the high performing system across the full length and breadth of the handset. The Nokia 8 runs cooler in even the most demanding situations.

Nokia 8 is Qualcomm® Quick ChargeTM 3.0 compatible, meaning when your battery is running low you can get back to recording your important moments sooner.

Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer of HMD Global, said:
“We know that fans are creating and sharing live content more than ever before, with millions of photos and videos shared every minute on social media. People are inspired by the content they consume and are looking for new ways to create their own. It’s these people who have inspired us to craft a flagship smartphone which perfectly balances premium design, an outstanding experience and powerful performance.”

Always pure Android
Nokia smartphones always offer a pure Android experience, with no unnecessary apps slowing down the performance of your device. And with Nokia 8, pure Android combined with our innovative engineering processes unleashes the full potential of the SnapdragonTM 835 Mobile Platform. With monthly security updates, the Nokia 8 is safe and up-to-date. Your device is secured with biometric fingerprint authentication, delivering enhanced security and making Nokia 8 a versatile companion whatever your needs.

Accessories
We offer a range of accessories perfectly tailored to suit the active lifestyle of any Nokia 8 owner. The Nokia 8 works beautifully with the Nokia Active Wireless Headset – a light weight water, sweat and dust proof premium headset. Carved from aluminium for the perfect match, this headset features a beautiful diamond cut design. The full Nokia accessories portfolio includes a range of headsets, portable speakers, in-car chargers, cases and screen protectors.

Av specifikationerna kan vi genast utläsa följande nyckelpunkter:

Nokia 8 har fått en 5,3 tum stor (liten) LCD-skärm med så kallad QHD-upplösning, eller 1 440 x 2 560 pixlar, vilket resulterar i en pixeltäthet om 554 PPI – mycket skarpt. Snapdragon 835 står för hästkrafterna, och telefonen har fått 4 GB arbetsminne (LPDDR4x) samt 64 GB lagringsutrymme och en SD-kortplats för expansion med upp till 256 GB.

Androidversionen vid lansering är en helt ren version (något Nokia kallar ”PureDroid”) av Android 7.1.1 Nougat, och Nokia utlovar månatliga säkerhetsuppdateringar samt snabba uppdateringar rent allmänt, precis som för Nokia 5 och 6.

Huvudkameran är av dubbelkameratyp; två stycken 13-megapixelsensorer och separat optik, där ena är av fullfärgstyp och den andra är monokrom (svartvit). Huvudkameran, färgkameran, har därtill fått optisk bildstabilisering.

Nokia har anlitat den tyske tillverkaren Zeiss att utveckla kameraoptiken för Nokia 8, något som åtminstone på pappret bådar gott. Nokias kameraapproach liknar i stora drag Huaweis approach, som även de i vissa modeller nyttjar en fullfärgskamera och en svartvit kamera och som även de har slagit sig samman med en väletablerad optiktillverkare, i Huaweis fall Leica, för kameraoptiken.

Telefonen är tillverkad ur ett stycke lättmetall och har yttermåtten 151,5 x 73,7 x 7,9 millimeter, med ytterligare 0,4 millimeters tjocklek över kameralinserna. Telefonens utformning gör att telefonen smalnar av utemot långsidorna, där den blott är 4,6 millimeter tjock. Vikten anges vara 160 gram och batteriet är på 3 090 mAh och telefonen har stöd för QuickCharge 3.0. Nokia har vidare gett 8 en viss vattenresistens i form av en IP54-klassning, vilket innebär att den är ”stänkresistent”.

Nokia 8 säljs i fyra olika färger; Polished Blue (högblank blå), Polished Copper (koppar), Tempered Blue (blå) och Steel (stålgrå), men vilka färger som är aktuella för svenska marknaden är ännu oklart. Nokia nämner heller inget pris för de nordiska länderna, men uppger att Nokia 8 kommer ha ett ”globalt genomsnittspris” på cirka 599 Euro, motsvarande cirka 5 700 kronor då den får global säljstart i början av september.
