But, the tech enthusiasts will finally get the real picture of this new device in the next month. HMD has made a partnership with the Zeiss to produce the new Nokia-branded Android smartphone, Nokia 8. Recent rumors have hinted that the new Nokia 8 will feature the 13MP dual rear cameras with the Zeiss optics. The 5.3-inch display of the handset will have the resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. With Snapdragon 835 processor the phone could offer good performance.
According to The Science Times, leaked images on Baidu forums hinted that the Nokia 8 must be a phablet with a glossy and gold-colored back.

The device will feature a 3.5mm headphone jack placed on top of the phone.
Apart from this, the smartphone should also include a microphone port, USB-C port, and the speaker grill. Reports have already indicated that Nokia 8 will have the 'vanilla' version of Android.
