Ultimate craftsmanship
The Nokia 8 undergoes a rigorous 40-stage process of machining, anodizing and polishing to ensure its distinctive design pairs flawlessly with the polished aluminium unibody abd nestles perfectly in the palm of your hand.
Dual-Sight mode
A first for mobile phones, the exclusive Dual-Sight mode lets you use both front and back cameras simultaneously for split-screen photos and video.
ZEISS optics
Nokia 8 features a 13 MP dual image-fusion rear camera with both colour and monochrome sensors, plus a wide-angle 13 MP phase detection auto-focus front camera. Both front and rear cameras are equipped with ZEISS optics, meaning every snapshot moment becomes a story worth sharing.

The Nokia 6 has been a success thus far and in Ireland we can only purchase it off one network which is Three, I have said this for years about exclusives and the ramifications of this can be seen with what happened Lumia devices before they died altogether it is a bad move but that is how it is for now and the same applies to the Nokia 5 whilst all networks sell the Nokia 3.
Potetional buyers have been looking for the Nokia 6 in stores and online and there is none to be seen and this has also been confirmed to me by soucres and it all ads up as to what Three have stated today on Twitter, Three claim it is a stock issue which would make sense but figures of sales are unknown yet and also their inventory count on this device.
A spokesperson for Three Ireland has told us this morning..
The Nokia 6 is currently out of stock, but will be for sale again in the coming weeks
Hi Andrew, stock of this phone is not due to be replenished until October due to a shortage. Keep an eye on Three.ie 👍 Joolz
Stores have also no stock avaialble and Three chat confirmed to me today its sold out online and they have no idea when it will return to their website but advise to keep checking for updates. So if you are looking to purchase the Nokia 6 from Three you will be waiting or else you will have to import or check online sellers here in Ireland until they get replenished. This could be seen as positive news in one sense for Nokia and HMDGlobal but figures back up the usual “sold out” term which we have yet to see.

If you are the owner of any of the new Android from Nokia you can now also insure your device too which is pretty neat. Phone insurance though for me in the past has been more hassle than its worth and I am careful with my devices and to date have only managed to drop two devices over the years and I go through alot of phones.
The process is simple and we also note the Nokia 8 is listed but not yer available here unfortunalty. Devices that can be insured are the 3,5 6 and 8 so if you have any of these you are good to go..
The cost will of course vary by device and you can pick either a 1 year or 2 year plan whichever suits your pocket.. For example the Nokia 6 will have a cost of €27.95 for 1 year or €54.95 for 2 years.
If you own the Nokia 3 the cost is €21.45 and €42.95, The Nokia 5 will cost you €24.95 and €48.95 and finally the Nokia 8 will cost you €59.95 and €114.95. You can see the price go higher as the device spec goes up and this is obviously due to parts the screen been most likely the culprit cost burden here.. You will be insured via Allianz
