Nokia 8 UK price and release date revealed but fans face a major disappointment

was unveiled last month with the flagship device bringing premium specs to Nokia’s new lineup of devices.

HMD Global, which is the company that’s behind Nokia’s return to the smartphone market, is hoping this new top-end device can continue to reinvigorate interest in this famous phone brand.

Unlike the basic Nokia 3310, which was unvieled earlier this year, the Nokia 8 is packed with the specs including a very decent 5.3-inch LCD display with always-on technology, super-fast Snapdragon 835 processor and dual rear ZEISS cameras.

Nokia says its camera will produce some of the best low light photography in the business and also offers users the chance to snap a Bothie – which can record video and photos using the front and rear camera at the same time.

Nokia 8 is also the first smartphone to feature something called OZO Audio.

This sound technology brings a fully immersive 360 degree audio experience to any videos you record on the device.

Other features include 64GB of expandable memory and a 3090 mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge technology.

The new Nokia also runs on pure Android which means it’s not packed with bloatware or duplicate apps and it’s also set to one of the first phones to be updated to Android Oreo.

So, if you fancy owning a Nokia 8 how much will it cost you?

This new phone is now available to pre-order from Carphone Warehouse, EE, Virgin, Amazon, John Lewis and a range of high street and online retailers.

Buying the device SIM-only will set you back £499 with contract deals starting from around £30 per month.

Sadly, although the Nokia 8 is officially on sale and arriving in hands from Septemeber 13, fans do face some disappointmenting news.

When HMD Global first announced the phone they revealed it would arrive in four colours including Polished Blue, Polished Copper, Tempered Blue and Steel 

However, it appears that, for now, only Steel and Tempered Blue are coming to the UK.
