Nokia 8 : What we know so far


 Nokia 8 will launch on aug 16 : Here's what to expect    with  the big brother

 Nokia has ruled the smartphone market for over a decade .People always had a special nostalgia for nokia phones , but its windows phones couldn't compete with the rivals out there and this led to the end of its era . But now it has made a return , and it's back with a boom . Nokia released its Nokia 3 , 5 and 6 at MWC , Barcelona earlier this year , and will be releasing its flagship for the year, the Nokia 8 . HMD global has sent invites for the launch event on aug 16 , where it will be unveiling Nokia 8 .



Nokia 8 specs ( Based on recent leaks and rumours ) -

  • 5.3" Amoled display with 2.5d curved glass
  • 1440 x 2560 QHD display
  • Corning gorilla glass for protection
  • Always On Display
  • IP 68 rating
  • Snapdragon 835 processor

  • 8 mp selfie shooter
  • 3800 mah battery with QC 3.0
  • Android 8.0 ( according to latest renders )
  Price expected : 700 $ or around Rs. 45000

Nokia 8 may release in India after a month or two since its global launch . If rumours are to be believed , it will have one of the best cameras till date , and will sport a dual cameras , but the implementation is still unknown . Though a new leak has popped up on Asian social network Baidu stating that it will have a monochrome and a regular RGB sensor , similar to what's found on a lot of huawei devices and recently released Moto z2 force . 


Also , earlier it was believed that it would sport android 7.1.1 out of the box . But according to a new Geekbench's benchmark entry of a handset named 'Unknown Heart' ( a codename previously associated with Nokia 8 ) , Nokia 8 maybe the first smartphone to release with Android 8 ( or Android O , whatever you may call it ) .


Still , I would advise you to take these with a pinch of salt , as nothing is confirmed yet . I would keep you posted once it is official .

  Wondering what is AI ? Here's everything you need   to know Consider the following scenario. A paralysed man participates in a clinical trial of a brain–computer interface (BCI). A computer connected to a chip in his brain is trained to interpret the neural activity resulting from his mental rehearsals of an action. The computer generates commands that move a robotic arm. One day, the man feels frustrated with the experimental team. Later, his robotic hand crushes a cup after taking it from one of the research assistants, and hurts the assistant. Apologizing for what he says must have been a malfunction of the device, he wonders whether his frustration with the team played a part. This scenario is hypothetical. But it illustrates some of the challenges that society might be heading towards. Current BCI technology is mainly focused on therapeutic outcomes, such as helping people with spinal-cord injuries. It already enables users to perform relatively simple motor ...
