      The Nokia 8 enters the upper-smartphone league and offers a good configuration with Qualcomm's premium-range Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB storage, QHD screen, and the latest Android 7.1. The most exciting feature of Nokia's 8 is the camera module that was developed in cooperation with Zeiss and includes a "Bothie" camera. It is the first 5.3-inch smartphone that can shoot photos and record 4K videos simultaneously with its primary and front-facing camera, both in a resolution of 13 MP.
