After making it available in many major markets HMD has today released Nokia 8 in India too. So, here we are with our unboxing, first set up and hands-on video of Nokia 8 Steel color model.

Nokia 8 comes in an attractive looking retail Box which runs on the same theme as of Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 retail boxes. For Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 unboxing videos and impressions, click here.

First impressions:

Coming to our first impressions, Nokia 8 feels quite elegant and robust at the same time. The 6000 series Aluminum unibody with a beautiful design, slimmer profile and excellent build-quality makes a lasting “Nokia” impression. The back design along with tapered edges profile makes it easy to hold and use with one hand.

While we heard a lot from a certain group of people about the Nokia 8 design being similar to other flagships and nothing special, we highly recommend to go ahead and hold it in your hand. You will appreciate the Nokia difference when you feel it in real-life.

The 5.3-inch QHD display looks nice and we intend to do a detailed display testing at a later stage. Stay tuned for more videos and our detailed review of Nokia 8.
