On the camera side, there will be 13 megapixel-shooter on both rear and front sensors. The phone will feature Android 7.1 OS. A report suggests, the device will feature dual-lens Zeiss camera.
Nokia 8 Price in Nepal and Release Date
As rumors suggested the Nokia 8 smartphone will be available in three different color variants: Blue, Steel, Gold with Copper and Gold with Blue. Just after the release in London, the phone will be shortly available around the globe. Unfortunately, it won’t be so soon in Nepal. An estimated report suggests that the phone might land in Nepal after a couple of months. As the flagship smartphone is a powerful device the price will obviously be expensive. If the rumors turn out to be true the phone might cost around £465-£599, US$ 686 / 589 Euros. The price might differ depending on the launch and distributors. However, the price of Nokia 8 in Nepal could be somewhere around Rs. 70,381.
