The Nokia 8 isn't even out in some major markets (like the US) yet, and there is now word, and a few pretty 3D renders, of a Nokia 9 going around. It seems that the Nokia 8 isn't yet Nokia and HMD's premium race horse, at least not as far as looks go. Though it might be the Nokia 8's equal in terms of specs, based on these images done by OnLeaks for CompareRaja, the Nokia 9 will jump on the bezel-less and curved edge display train that Samsung is currently driving.

Nokia has called time on its OZO virtual reality camera, announcing that it will cease development of the expensive multi-lens system as it doubles-down on health tech. Announced back in mid-2015, OZO was an unexpected debut from a company better known for its history in cellphones. Shaped like a bloated tadpole, it packed eight cameras and a corresponding eight microphones, for capturing all-round video and audio.

Nokia was popular and, at the same time, notorious for its smartphones that were veritable bricks you can sometimes throw at would be assailants. That was, however, in the distant past, when phones were less smart and less fragile. With the return of the brand to the smartphone market, sans Microsoft, each model seems to be met with the same question: will it bend? Of course, JerryRigEverything just had to put the new Nokia 8 to the test to see if it is indeed Nokia's most powerful, both in specs and in form.

HMD and Nokia are painting themselves as good Android citizens, distancing the brand from the likes of Samsung and other OEMs who are terribly late with updates. This time, however, they might be painting themselves into a corner. HMD has already promised that all its current smartphones will be upgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo before the year ends. Now it is promising to upgrade those same devices to Android P when it comes out next year, without even knowing yet what that may bring.

UMD Global is attempting to bring the Nokia brand back to prominence among consumers, and what better way to do that than by re-releasing what was arguably Nokia's most famous handset? Earlier this year, we saw the Nokia 3310 rise from the ashes, and now, UMD is releasing a new version that makes the phone just a little bit more modern. Say hello to the Nokia 3310 3G.

The Nokia 8 is technically Nokia’s first true flagship model, bearing specs high enough to compete with some of this year’s top contenders. But when Nokia said last month that it won’t be bringing the Nokia 8 that it just launched to US and Chinese markets, there was a bit of head scratching involved. What it really meant to say was that it wasn’t bringing that Nokia 8 model to the US. Which is all good, because the Nokia 8 that just hit the FCC is suggesting that the US, and China, will be getting a better deal.

Android Oreo was announced to be coming to all current-age Nokia smartphones over the weekend. The timing of these updates is not yet known, but Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer for HMD Global seems to believe that the company is ready and capable of bringing the newest version of Oreo to all new Nokia phones. HMD Global is the company that currently licenses the Nokia brand name to create smartphones with what remains of the original Nokia company.

Not all smartphones are created equal or even priced equal. Not all smartphones even launch in all major markets. While some OEMs withhold some models in some markets for good reasons, some decisions may make you scratch your head a bit. None of those, however, may have anything on this latest tidbit about the Nokia 8. What is, so far, HMD’s and Nokia’s first actual flagship-level smartphone might not actually launch in the US, one of the world’s most important smartphone markets. Making it even weirder, however, is the possibility it might not even launch in China either.

Selfies are mundane and so Nokia is hoping to shake things up with a camera feature it has dubbed 'bothies.' If you pronounced that in your head as 'bah-these,' you're not the only one, but that's not what Nokia is going for. Pronounced 'both-eez,' the name refers to recording/shooting with both of a phone's cameras at the same time, combining the content into a single photo or videos.

This week the folks at Nokia have revealed their first Android flagship - the Nokia 8. This device's specifications and release information were shared by the company right on cue, and today we've got the lot. This device is a flagship in all the ways - or most of the ways - and Android flagship should.

With the Nokia 3, 5, and 6 already out in the wild, and a Nokia 8 coming soon, people might wonder where 1, 2, 4, and 7 went. There will probably never be a Nokia 4, considering how unlucky the number is for some Asian cultures (where HMD operates). And 7 is probably going to remain a mystery. As for the Nokia 2, it is rumored to be a low-tier budget smartphone, one whose existence may have just been confirmed by a certification sighting.

The old Nokia, even during its Lumia phase, was perhaps notorious for all the sorts of color options and combinations it made available. Some of them were nice to look at, if they didn’t burn your retinas. Others were pretty garish. We’re still not sure where this new Nokia 8 variant falls in that spectrum, but it can be best described as “unique”. With less than a month left before its expected unveiling, the Nokia 8 leaks out again, this time in a somewhat never before seen copper-gold sheen.
