Nokia's return to the smartphone space is one of the most hotly anticipated landmarks in the industry for many years now. With the firm partnering with HMD and developing Android-based designs, there's everything to play for, and many are hopeful it will usher in a new era of prominence for Nokia inside the industry it helped create. So far, however, one key aspect has been missing; a flagship smartphone.
Nokia was hot favorite at a time because it was available in various price ranges,had big,wide and large variety of model.From a 80 year old grandpa to a school going kid was using Nokia as their’s primary device .But Nokia was unable to cope up with the updating trends of today’s mobile world as biggest Chinese manufacturers like Oppo,Xiaomi gave birth to a cut-throat competition in the mobile world.Samsung and Apple were going all well with their ioS and android operating system.But at that time Nokia introduced Microsoft operating system and the fall of Nokia begun because consumers hated the complications from Microsoft operating system.
Rumors suggest Nokia is indeed prepping a flagship category device, the so-called Nokia 8. However, a report from NokiaPowerUser suggests there may be more than meet's the eye when it comes to Nokia's forthcoming plans. We've been hearing talk of the Nokia 8 for a while now, as well as the Nokia P1, and there's plenty of speculation that the two might be the same device. Recently launched Nokia 6 sold out in first 60 seconds during flash sale in China.It is estimated to launch in India in the month of May,2017 considering it’s huge fan base in our country due to its iconic 3310.
The Nokia 8 outlined in NPU's report, flagship or not, will sport a QHD display resolution, while the Nokia 7 will have a 1080p screen instead. It's claimed the duo may share the same rear camera configuration, which will allegedly be different from what we've seen on Nokia's Android fleet so far, with bigger sensors to boot. Fingerprint scanners and fast charging are also tipped for both, while the Nokia 8 may have Carl Ziess optics, in spite of recent rumours suggesting otherwise.Which seems like a complete package to compete with big boys such as Samsung as and Apple.Since,Nokia has better service support all around the globe it can easily overcome the sales of brands like Xiaomi and Oppo in India.It will be very interesting to see the Finish Manufactures taking over the Chinese manufacturers.
One area where Nokia could potentially do A LOT of damage to Samsung and Apple is price. Samsung and Apple’s flagships this year are going to be VERY expensive – like $1000-expensive. And that price, for many, will simply be too much to spend on a phone.
The Nokia P1 – or Nokia 8, or whatever it is called – is widely believed to feature very similar spec to the Galaxy S8, as detailed below, however, one area where it could REALLY do the most for consumers is price.
Should HMD retail this phone for £500, or thereabouts, it will make it some £300-£400 cheaper than both the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8, perhaps even more, as prices for these new phones are not yet concrete – they could cost even more.
System Improvements that will make it unique from others:
Customisable Quick Settings: Rearrange your Quick Setting tiles so you can get to what you want faster.
Quick Settings bar: Quick Settings has been redesigned so that you can get faster access to top Quick Settings tiles directly in the notification shade.
Improved Settings navigation: Find the right setting faster with an updated navigation menu in Settings.
Settings suggestions: Within Settings, get suggestions for how to get even more out of your device.
'Clear all' in Overview: Instantly close all of your apps running in the background by tapping 'clear all' in Overview.
Emergency information: Emergency Information lets you add information such as name, blood type, allergies and an emergency contact so that emergency responders can view this information through your device's lock screen.
Lockscreen wallpaper: You can now have different wallpapers on your device's homescreen and lockscreen.
Hope that this effort is well appreciated by the consumers so that Nokia can fix its spot in the smartphone world by bringing back its glory of the golden days which was there 5 years ago.
