The Nokia 8 is the first high-end premium smartphone from the brand since it resurfaced last year and it comes packed to the gills with features and an impressive spec sheet. For starters, it has a 5.3-inch 2560x1440 resolution IPS LCD with curved Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The phone has a dual camera system on the back comprising a 13 megapixel color sensor with OIS and a 13 megapixel monochrome sensor that work together to create sharper, cleaner images even in low light. There is also a 13 megapixel f2.0 front camera with PDAF. Nokia has a feature called Dual Sight mode that lets you use both the front and rear cameras simultaneously for taking pictures and even video. The phone can also record 4K video with the rear camera with Nokia OZO branded 360 degree spatial audio.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left.

HMD claims it did the best it can to recreate the original 3310 rounded shape and silhouette. The rounded buttons on the retro keypad definitely hit home. However, the 2.4-inch QVGA display and the curved and polarized layer on top, do look a bit off. So do the buttons on the front.
