Nokia 8 London Launch. Image and Video coverage. #Bothie #HMDGlobal #Nokia8

Last night we attended a special UK Launch party for the all new Nokia 8 which features a first called #bothie mode, There was multiple units on display in several colours so it was nice to see a good range to get my personal choice in check for my unit. The event took place in London in a downstairs bar called BEAT London. Most if not all where impressed by the new flagship device which has almost the same footprint as the Nokia 6 and feels good to hold in hand and looks great and sporting good specs for its asking price you can also bag a FREE Nokia Steel with the likes of CPW and if you want to add nice straps you can do so HERE

You can pre-order it from Nokia.com, EE, Carphone Warehouse and Virgin. The Nokia 8 will be available to buy in the UK on 13th September 2017 from Carphone Warehouse, EE, Virgin, Amazon, John Lewis and a range of high street and online retailers.

The all new #Nokia8 has #OZO audio, #Zeiss optics and #bothie mode for €599

Nokia have finally announced their flagship device the Nokia 8. THe device is set to go on sale in September and with a cost price said to be at the €599 mark. The all new flagship comes in array of colours, following the design language of its previous devices the 3,5 and 6 which makes sense. The Nokia 8 comes at a time where the market is now very competitive so it has much to stand up against and with the iPhone 8 and Galaxy Note 8 due soon its got a lot of competition but it does have a few tricks up its sleeve and the price point is also something to consider which is not going to be near what the future flagships from its competitors are going to offer which will see prices in at the €999 mark which is a large sum of money to ask for.

The USPs of the new device are as mentioned in the headline Bothie Mode means you can simulataniously shoot with both cameras on the device which sounds great although we have seen it before we can now livestream to YouTube and Facebook with this feature and it will come in handy for many people and that includes myself…

ZIESS Optics are back once again which is again another welcome move as fans of old know how good their cameras have been on Lumia devices over the years so you are guarenteed a great shot.

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.

OZO AUDIO 

This is what is used in their virtual reality headset but now it has become a feature on the Nokia 8 this means with the 4K recording it can capture 360 degree audio and you can broadcast live and you can listen to this too on Facebook in 360..
