Nokia 8 Now Available For Rs. 28999
HMD Global launched the Nokia 8 in India back in September at a price of Rs. 36999. At the time, it was competing with the OnePlus 5 in the affordable flagship segment. A couple of months later, OnePlus launched the OnePlus 5T at the same price as the OnePlus 5, with a better design and Face Unlock.
With a bit more archaic design and not the best camera performance, the Nokia 8 fell off the rail in its quest to catch up with the OnePlus 5T. However, it has received a hefty permanent price cut which makes the Nokia 8 a much more viable option that it was before. The smartphone from Nokia will now be available at a price of Rs. 28999 via Amazon.
Nokia 8 Specifications
The Nokia 8 has a 5.3 inch 2560 x 1440 px display and 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for protection.
