Nokia 8 Officially Launched in PH, Listed at PHP 29,990

After much excitement, HMD's Nokia 8 has finally landed in Philippine shores. If you'll recall, the device was announced earlier this August.


The Nokia 8 boasts three world firsts: 1) the first smartphone from HMD Global to feature a ZEISS Optics collaboration on its camera; 2) the first smartphone to support Dual Sight camera technology that allows both front and back cameras to simultaneously broadcast videos or images natively to social platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, and; 3) the first smartphone to support Nokia's OZO Audio, bringing you a immersive 360° audio experience to your videos.

Hardware-wise, the Nokia 8 sports a Snapdragon 835 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of onboard storage (with up to 256GB external storage support). It also has a 3090mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support, NFC, and IP54 certification (splash-resistant certification). All of these are paired with a 5.3-inch QHD display, making the Nokia 8 a portable media flagship.

The Nokia 8 is now available at major partner outlets starting at PHP 29,990.
