HMD is currently working on two flagships of Nokia 8 that will be equipped with Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 835. This is a similar chip that possibly powers the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S8.

According to the Chinese news outlet, MyDrivers, Nokia will be launching an overall metal Nokia 8 sporting dual cameras and a Snapdragon 835. These are the same specs as the Samsung Galaxy S8 has and to every other Android handset of 2017.

The company's new flagships, Nokia 8 is similar to Samsung and Apple's style of releasing their devices, India Today reported. Nokia will be also presenting two variants of different screen sizes and slight variants in hardware. They were, likewise, speculated to be CNY 4,000 or more (around $578.32/Rs 38,700) and CNY 4,500 (around $650.61/Rs 43,500).

Nokia 8 is expected to run Android Nougat 7.0 pre-loaded. It is likely to arrive with a 23-megapixel rear camera, in which the bigger size version will feature a dual camera.

However, according to BGR, HMD can’t utilize the Nokia PureView camera tech that popularized the company before. Therefore, Nokia 8’s differentiation from other Android handsets is going to be difficult. It is not yet revealed who is going to produce the lenses and sensors of the Nokia’s new phones.

In fact, the only reason for buying a Nokia’s Lumia Android phones was the camera. But the trade name and skill were developed by Microsoft.

The smaller flagship of Nokia 8 will also obtain a Snapdragon processor accompanied by up to 6GB of RAM and a great camera setup. At this point, this device is going to have a unique identity, since Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8 will feature a wider screen.

Meanwhile, Nokia 8 is said to be released sometime this June. Speculations also are circulating that the two Nokia devices will arrive to challenge Samsung Galaxy S8 variants.
