after confirming the collaboration with CARL ZEISS or popularly known only as ZEISS, NOKIA hinted for early release of their phone NOKIA 8 in the Q3 2017 worldwide. Nokia had already launched their mid-range lineup named Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and NOKIA 6(click to read more) which comes with average specs and not satisfactory for the Nokia fan base.

 According to a Chinese website, CNMO.COM  HMD global upcoming flagship is Nokia 8 and not Nokia 9 as previously rumoured. the images of Nokia 8 have been leaked by the same Chinese website. which clearly shows the front and the back panel of this gorgeous new device. The design shown in images of NOKIA 8 as written in Chinese is bezel-less, but camera position is bit odd as we take a first look at the leaked images.The design follows the legacy of old Nokia as we can see from the images and give the vibes of old Nokia phones. for me personally, it looks somewhat similar to Nokia N9 when I first saw the leaked images.
NOKIA N9 ( launched June 2011)



Though there are many variants code named  TA-1004TA-1012, TA-1052 previously leaked via different benchmarks and certifications shows different storage and RAM combinations.Also, Nokia 8 is not the only device Nokia planning to release so we can wait and watch what Nokia is planning to deliver.
