Today marks a big day for Nokia, as their newest flagship, the Nokia 8, has finally arrived in the Philippines.
The Nokia 8 is a carefully crafted device made from a single block of Aluminium, sporting a polished mirror finish which gives it a premium and elegant look. The 5.3-inch polarized 2K display makes all of your content look stunning and beautiful, while a Snapdragon 835 CPU ensures that the device can handle everything you’ll throw at it.
There’s 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM for multi-tasking, along with 64GB of built-in storage that can be further expanded with a microSD card.
