Will Nokia 8 win the race?

The upcoming Nokia 8 is the handset that the geekerati are waiting for, with its SnapDragon 835 system on chip, Zeis powered dual camera system, and the large 5.7 inch screen.Last week we came across leak photos of Nokia 8 in Gold copper colour along with the design.

But the Nokia 8 being the flagship model of the company fails to bring the modern touch of a flagship phone where the current cutting edge fashion in smartphone design is edge-to-edge screens with minimal bezels. The actual screen may not be curved, but the top glass gracefully bringing the top surface down to a narrow chassis.Would it be able to complete with the likes of iPhone8 & Galaxy S8.

The Nokia 8’s screen may be the largest in HMD’s portfolio if it is, as expected, announced on August 16th, but it’s going to be a screen design that is not going to look as fresh and as exciting as the competition. The bezels are clearly visible and the design may echo previous Nokia handsets but it’s going to leave the new Android-powered handsets at a disadvantage when put in the competitive market.But Nokia being a brand name before may win the race by a slight margin because of its fan following. But will be able to completely dominate the mobile market with this design, i doubt.

But at the same time it also shows HMD’s strategy and reinforces the Nokia brand. These new Nokia handsets aren’t just about cutting edge style and grace or staying on top of trends. They capture the spirit of the Nokia brand from the early twenty-first century that providing powerful handsets at a value for money price point. Those handsets may not have looked beautiful but they got the job done.
