Officially, no pricing has been confirmed by the company. The phone has been subjected to a number of leaks and renders in the past few months. A recent image of the phones benchmarks spotted on Slashleaks tells us that Nokia 8 will be running on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 835 chipset along with 4 GB of RAM and an Adreno 540 GPU. The display will be QuadHD with 559 PPI pixel density.
