Nokia is supposedly coming up with a new android smartphone very soon, the Nokia 8. It is a followup to HMD’s trio – Nokia 3, 5 and 6 unveiled early in the year. By the way, the company also unveiled a reboot of the famous dumb phone – the 3310 this year.
As usual, prolific leaker, Evans Blass has tweeted a picture of what the Nokia 8 would look like.

He also showed a grey version of the same phone in another tweet afterwards.

This is not the first time that a picture or image is being leaked. The first time was in a promotional video back in May.
According to Evan, “Rumor has it that HMD will be announcing this Android 7.1.1 Nougat-powered phone on July 31, and with its recent appearance in the FCC database as model number TA-1012, that seems like a distinct possibility.”
There are rumours that the 5.3-inch Nokia 8 will sport a Snapdragon 835 chipset, QHD resolution, either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and a pair of main cameras offering 13-megapixel resolutions and Carl Zeiss optics.
This same model was listed recently by a Scandinavian retailer (albeit as the TA-1004) for €589 (about $675), in a choice of blue (pictured), steel, gold/blue, or gold/copper.
