Nokia 8 Official Price is €599 Euros or $700 USD : Continuing The Great Nokia Cameraphone Legacy

Tech enthusiasts who are familiar with Nokia's long history as a handset maker would know that the Finnish Giant was particularly popular and respected for doing two things:

1. Crafting very durable phones
2. Making the best cameraphones

The old Nokia 3310 is a testament to the first phrase while smartphones like the Nokia N8, Nokia 808 PureView, and Nokia Lumia 1020 - to this day - speak about the company's capabilities when it comes to creating mobile devices that can work as an alternative to your traditional digital camera.

Although the all-new Nokia 8 Android smartphone by HMD Global merely bears the name of the Finnish Giant and is not really crafted by "the Nokia of old", I'm still hoping that it can somehow be a decent follow-up to those models. I mean, it's been so long since a good cameraphone with the name Nokia printed on it was released in the market. It would be a shame if it won't be as good as advertised. Heck, I want this model to be commercially successful.

Anyway, what's great is that Nokia 8 has several things going for it.

For one, 8 - historically - is a magic number for Nokia. During its heydays, Nokia would always affix the number 8 to it handset models sporting the best imaging features. So I'm sure fans of the brand would immediately associate "great camera" with this release without HMD Global having to explain too much.

Second and more importantly, Nokia 8 is the first handset by HMD Global to have Carl Zeiss optics. You see, what made all those Nokia cameraphones that I mentioned above the absolute best during their time was in large part because of the Finnish company's partnership with German optics maker, Carl Zeiss. For those who are not familiar with it, Carl Zeiss is one of the oldest and most respected optics manufacturers in the world.

And finally, of course, compared to its predecessors, the Nokia 8 already incorporates today's leading innovations in terms of internal hardware, display quality, audio technology, and even design and build -- all to better deliver a vastly enhanced mobile imaging experience.

I've just seen several videos on Youtube about the Nokia 8 and off hand, here are eight features highlighted in the clips that got me really excited to see this cameraphone in the flesh and to play it:

1. Dual Camera Module incorporating a 13 MegaPixel RGB camera with Carl Zeiss lens plus another 13 MegaPixel monochrome shooter - This set-up is largely the same as that of Huawei P9, P9 Plus, P10, and P10 Plus and should result in shots with better contrast and clarity in various lighting conditions.

2. Nokia OZO Audio with spatial 3D recording, which even better than stereo and should deliver a more immersive and enjoyable AV experience.

3. Full-length graphite-shielded copper cooling pipe for the 10nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor ensures better heat management and lag-free performance when you're playing the most specs-intensive games that you can download from Google Play Store.

The powerful and energy efficient processor is complemented by two sets of internal hardware that consumers can choose from: 4GB RAM / 64GB ROM combo for the Tempered Blue, Steel, and Polished Copper variants and 6GB RAM / 128GB ROM combo for the Polished Blue version

4. 13 MegaPixel front-facing selfie camera with 4K 30fps video recording capability, which is great for those who want to start recording and uploading vlogs on Youtube and Facebook.

5. 'Bothie' shooting mode where you do split screen video recording using both the front and rear cameras simultaneously and go live on Facebook or Youtube!

6. IP54 splash-proof build and availability in four elegant colors, namely, Polished Copper, Steel, Tempered Blue, and Polished Blue. Nokia 8 can be a great companion be it outdoors while you're on adventure or when you're inside the boardroom for your corporate role.

7. Nokia 8 is the first Nokia-branded smartphone to have a pixel-dense Quad HD display! This model has a 5.3-inch 1440 x 2560 pixels IPS display that guarantees an enjoyable experience whether you're browsing photos or watching videos.

8. Not only is the non-removable 3,090 mAh Li-Ion battery rather big given Nokia 8's display size but it also supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 that greatly shortens the time it takes to fully charge the pack.

That's a lot to look forward to, right? Again, I can't wait to take Nokia 8 for a spin -- just to see for myself if it's a worthy addition to the long line of great Nokia cameraphones.

The official suggested retail price of Nokia 8 with Dual Carl Zeiss Optics is 599 Euros or Php 36,200 with current conversion. On the other hand, its release date in several key markets around the world will be on September 23, 2017.

Nokia 105 2017 Philippines Price is Php 850 : Basic Phone with Flashlight, Out Now in the Philippines

HMD Global has just released another feature-phone that could be a great choice for those who are looking for a very affordable yet durable secondary handset or consumers who want to undergo digital detox by getting a basic mobile device to be their daily driver.

Even more affordable than the re-imagined version of the Nokia 3310, the third generation Nokia 105 sells for only Php 850 here in the Philippines -- but for that small amount, you already get a reliable phone for sending text messages or making calls.

I would like to give credit to Mr. Ramesh Bakotra of India for all photos in this blog post.

In terms of design and build, the 2017 Nokia 105 looks largely identical to Nokia 101 from 2011 -- if you still remember that best-seller.

This new model flaunts a completely plastic shell with slightly rounded corners and sides; No metallic accents whatsoever. The familiar alpha-numeric keyboard, on the other hand, has large keys and one big navigation button in the middle made of rubber.

As earlier explained by the company, HMD Global - the new home of Nokia phones - ensures that their handsets' durability or toughness approximate that of legendary Nokia phones of old.

Nokia 105 may be a basic phone but it has a number of cool and useful selling points.

First, it has a removable 800 mAh battery pack that delivers up to a month of standby time and 15.7 hours of talk time. Like the new Nokia 3310, a fully charged Nokia 105 2017 is also great for keeping in an emergency kit.

Second, it has an LED torch light on the top panel that can activated with a couple of clicks on the keypad. This feature comes in handy when looking for something inside your bag also when you're walking to your car that's parked away from a street light.

And finally, the phone's internal storage supports up to 2,000 contacts even without microSD card memory expansion -- so you can save all the numbers of your loved ones and other emergency contacts with peace of mind.

Unlike Nokia 3310, Nokia 105 has no camera at the back and has a smaller display.

Other notable features of Nokia 105 2017 include its 1.8-inch colored display, Snake Xenzia Game, microUSB port for charging and data sync, 3.5mm combo jack, and FM Radio via the included headset.

Nokia 105 is now available in the market. It's out in three colors, Black, Light Blue, and White.

Nokia 3 Philippines Price is Php 6,990, Specs, Initial Review, Silver White and Matte Black Unit Photos

Nokia 3 is the most affordable of the three midrange Android smartphones that HMD Global officially announced in the Philippines last June 8, 2017.

Arriving in our country just in time for back-to-school gadget shopping, Nokia 3 is a great choice for students and even for budget-conscious young professionals as a daily handset for staying connected anytime, anywhere.

Though priced at only Php 6,990, this fairly affordable release already comes with a number of compelling features and good selling points.

The Nokia Brand is known for churning out durable devices with stellar build and finish -- and this model stays true to that despite not being crafted by Nokia itself.

Nokia's 3's midframe is made of real metal while the back plate features polycarbonate with matte finish. The entire build is largely reminiscent of Nokia Lumia 925 of old, which says a lot about how well-made this fresh release is.

The face flaunts a 2.5D Curved Scratch-Resistant Gorilla Glass touchscreen that protects the 5-inch HD IPS display panel and meets the shell seamlessly to give an air of durability and reassuring heft.

As for imaging capabilities, Nokia 3 features an 8 MegaPixel autofocus camera with f/2.0 aperture and LED flash that I found to be quite reliable in well-lit conditions when I tried it out. Expect sample photos when I get to review the device more thoroughly.

The smartphone likewise has an 8 MegaPixel f/2.0 camera in front for snapping self-portraits that can also work with Selfie applications that you can download from the Google Play Store.

Under the hood, Nokia 3 runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system with a 64-Bit Octa Core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 and Mali-T720MP1 GPU based Mediatek MT6737 chipset that's complemented by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage that can be augmented using the secondary hybrid nanoSIM slot that also supports microSD cards memory expansion.

Other key features of this model include Dual SIM Dual Standby capability via two nanoSIM slots, 4G LTE mobile connectivity support, and a non-removable 2,630 mAh Li-Ion battery pack that should be able to deliver a whole day of uptime with regular use.

Nokia 3 is available in a number of classy colors, including Tempered Blue, Copper White, Silver White, and Matte Black.

It should be available at all HMD Global partner dealers and retailers across the Philippines by the end of June 2017.

You've seen actual unit photos of the Silver White version, here's how Nokia 3 Matte Black variant looks in the flesh:

Notice the chrome-plated classic Nokia logo right smack in the middle of the back panel.

The Nokia atop the screen is more obvious or prominent in the Black version.

Again, the mid-frame is crafted from anodized aluminum.

I bet you'll like this phone's balanced design. It's light-weight too.

Nokia 3's microUSB 2.0 port is found at the rear along with the microphone and loudspeaker.

The 3.5mm combo jack is located on top, framed by two rather inconspicuous antenna lines, which you'll also find at the bottom.

Old Nokia 3310 Phone vs New 2017 Nokia 3310 Design and Features Comparison, In Photos

For my ABS-CBN News Channel Future Perfect guesting the other week, our friends from HMD Global Philippines and my good friend Mr. Karel Holub of argomall lent me units of the re-imagined 2017 version of the Nokia 3310 as well as one old Nokia 3310 from 2000. (Really, what would I be without my helpful and supportive friends?)

I took the liberty of snapping these side-by-side comparison photos of the phones as reference for those who are wondering how the new Nokia 3310 fares against the old version in terms of design and dimensions.

2017 Nokia 3310 vs 2000 Nokia 3310, respectively.

The new model has dimensions of 115.6 x 51 x 12.8 mm while the old one measures 113 x 48 x 22 mm. The 2017 release is taller and wider than the 2000 model by around 2 millimeters but it is far slimmer or thinner, making it easier to hold and keep in the pocket.

The re-imagined Nokia 3310 is also far lighter, weighing only around 80 grams while its near-ancient predecessor weighs in at 133 grams.

Apart from its obvious heft, the old Nokia 3310 thicker plastic exterior and interior parts made it heavier. Though, these are also the elements that made this model a legend when it comes to sheer durability.

In a future TechPinas post, I will talk about some features of the 2017 Nokia 3310 that make it a good purchase at Php 2,490 here the Philippines.

For now, let me share the features that make it far better than its predecessor, which sold for around Php 8,000 brand new, 17 years ago.

Of course, the screen is now bigger at 2.4 inches and is even colored! You can even change the background photo and the interface is likewise more intuitive and easier to navigate.

Another notable new feature is the 2 MegaPixel fixed focus rear camera with LED flash that delivers less than impressive shots but is good enough for taking photos of cellphone numbers, shopping lists, among other things that one needs to take note of.

For those who love listening to music tracks on the go, you'll be glad that the new Nokia 3310 has a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack so you can enjoy your favorite songs anywhere you are with this phone. And yes, it also supports FM Radio.

But perhaps the one feature that makes Nokia 3310 far superior to the old one and to most other smartphones that are out in the market is its incredible battery life! This release's removable 1,200 mAh Li-Ion battery pack is capable of delivering up a whole month of Standby Time and almost 24 hours of Talk Time! This is a handset that you'd want to put in your emergency kit or bag at home or in the office.

If there's one thing about the old Nokia 3310 apart from the build quality that makes it superior to the new version, it would have to be the keyboard, which I find easier to thumb-type on. Perhaps, in HMD Global's effort to make the 2017 model look and feel more sleek, the resulting keyboard - especially the main navigation button - became less protruding or more depressed. Personally, I prefer the old keyboard better. But hey, that's just me.

Feel free to try out the New Nokia 3310 when it hits store shelves across the Philippines by the end of June 2017. Again, its official price is Php 2,490 and it will be out in four colors, namely, Grey, Yellow, Warm Red, and Dark Blue.

Nokia 5 Philippines Official Price is Php 9,990, Specs, Initial Review, Actual Unit Photos

I'm tempted to call HMD Global's Nokia 5 as but the less powerful and more affordable version of the Nokia 6. But really, it's so much more than that.

For one, many might find its 'rounder' design language more attractive than the 'boxy' and more masculine look of the Nokia 6.

I would imagine that the sleeker curves - reminiscent of some Lumia handsets of old - would more visually pleasing to women and even young consumers.

Nokia 5 flaunts an anodized aluminum unibody shell with rather thick antenna bands that are neatly placed on the top and bottom panels. Holding the phone, you will immediately feel the flex-free build that exudes a reassuring heft.

Another thing of note about this model would have to be its imaging capabilities. Nokia 5 sports a 13 MegaPixel rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and phase detection autofocus, which performs well in various lighting conditions and snaps images quickly. This shooter can also record Full HD videos at 30 frames per second.

The rear cam is complemented by an 8 MegaPixel front-facing snapper with f/2.0 aperture and the same 1.12 µm pixel size, which is similar to what's on the Nokia 6! This one has Beautification Mode that instantly enhances selfies, making them ready for sharing on social networking sites.

If you enjoy taking selfies and posting them online, you might fall in love with this release.

One department where the Nokia 6 has clear superiority over the Nokia 5 in terms of display size and clarity. Nokia 6 has a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display whereas this more affordable model only has a 5.2-inch HD IPS screen. Nonetheless, both faces feature 2.5D Curved Scratch-Resistant Gorilla Glass.

Under the hood, surprisingly, Nokia 5 has the exact same processor as what's inside the Nokia 6; It's a 64-Bit Octa Core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 and Adreno 505 GPU based Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430 chipset, which means that they share similar features and capabilities in that area. However, Nokia 6 has more RAM and ROM at 3GB and 32GB, respectively. On the other hand, Nokia 5 has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage that can easily be augmented via the hybrid secondary nanoSIM slot that also supports microSD card expansion slot.

For those who are interested, Nokia 5 will hit store shelves across the country come the end of June 2017 with official suggested retail price of Php 9,990. This midrange release will be out in four elegant colors, namely, Silver, Copper, Matte Black, and Tempered Blue.

Does the Nokia 5 feel like a classic Nokia release? Frankly, in terms of build alone, I would say that this model more or less has the durability and finish that we have come to love on Nokia phones of old. The aluminum shell reminds me of the Nokia N8 and the rounded construction is reminiscent of Nokia Lumia 720. I invite you to try out this smartphone when demo units are released at authorized retail channels nationwide a few days from by the last week of June 2017.

Nokia 6 Philippines Price is Php 11,990, Complete Specs, Actual Unit Photos

Great news for big fans of Nokia here in the Philippines!

Last June 8, 2017, HMD Global officially its first set of Nokia-branded handsets in the country and likewise disclosed that these models will be up for purchase across the Philippines by the end of June.

Of the bunch, Nokia 6 is the most powerful and arguably the most gorgeous -- albeit it's also the most expensive.

Donning an official suggested retail price of Php 11,990, Nokia 6 is a metal-clad Android smartphone with decent technical specifications and fairly reliable imaging capabilities.

If you ask me, the main selling point of this release would have to be its downright solid and beautiful construction -- apart from its popular and well-loved brand logo, of course.

Nokia 6 flaunts a CNC-prepared or diamond-cut anodized aluminum shell, border-line inconspicuous antenna bands, and a flex-free build.

Holding the device, you will immediately feel the amount of care that HMD Global and its OEM partner in China put into making sure that it will be worthy of the Nokia branding. Nokia 6 feels rock solid and its heft gives reassurance that it can take the knocks and bumps of daily use.

Now, let's talk specs.

Nokia 6 sports a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display underneath 2.5D Curved Gorilla Glass touchscreen, a 16 MegaPixel autofocus rear camera with phase detection autofocus - for super fast focus and shutter speed - and a wide f/2.0 aperture, 8 MegaPixel front cam for selfies, 4G LTE support, dual amplifiers and Dolby Atmos audio enhancement technology.

Inside, the handset runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system with a 64-Bit 1.4 GHz Octa Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor that incorporates an Adreno 505 GPU and ARM Cortex A53 CPUs. This chipset is complemented by 3GB of RAM for smooth multitasking and 32GB of internal storage that can be beefed up using the hybrid secondary nanoSIM slot that also supports microSD card memory expansion.

There's also a 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM version of this model but the Nokia 6 that we're initially getting is the one with the above-mentioned set of technical specifications. No word yet if the variant with better innards will be launched here eventually.

Nokia 6 will be out in four classy colors, namely, Arte Black, Matte Black, Tempered Blue, Silver, and Copper -- all of which will be clad in thick Series 6000 Aluminum.

According to HMD Global, Nokia 6 along with all of their upcoming Nokia-branded handsets will be available at partner dealers and authorized retail channels across the Philippines and even online. Stay tuned for updates as well as our full review of this much-awaited handset.
