What a disappointment on the design. It just looks like a nokia 5 and not a flagship phone.

Someone asked Nokia do their current phones have the Glance and Nokia replied on Twitter that 3/5/6 (all with non-amoled screens) do NOT have it. I haven't used any Nokia's WP phones but years ago E7 had a version of Glance/Always-on that I loved. I've understood the feature is not generally used on non-amoled screens because it's a huge battery drainer.

      Jan, 18 Jul 2017Why is Nokia 6 5.5 inch schreen and Nokia 8 only 5.3Because not every flagship should have bigger number in everything. More importantly, how can you think like that? Come on, even my 7 y.o brother knows that better things isn't always "bigger".

        Today phone with such huge bezels cannot be flagship. Maybe Fan Edition. Still no surprise from NokiaHMD, makes me also sad. 2:1 bezelless design and it would be great, back looks cool after all.

          Looks like photoshopped Nokia 5

            little awkward to see those huge bezels on top and bottom. If nokia feels itself a tier 1 brand then it has to make inventions apart from assembling the parts which most chinese manufacturers do.

                  It's not a fingerprint reader on the screen. It's a hot key on the screen that's just like camera key on the lock screen. Probably you'll have to tap that first before swiping your finger on the fingerprint sensor to unlock.

                          I can't believe that this is going to be Nokias flagship phone for 2017. Spec wise it's up there with most, Except the screen... No infinity display and such an ugly design.

                          It looks so cheap and nasty, With so much competition out there even with dual Carl ziess lenses I don't think it's going to do well at all.

                          It makes the One plus 5 look so much better........

                            ssbatman21, 18 Jul 2017Lame argument.Because it reflects on reality?

                            None should brag about how they went into another product for late availability reasons and whatnot, if you want to buy just buy and if you don't just leave it, don't whine around like a little kid over their toys.

                                  If its is real, then its too ugly, and boring design
                                  (https://nokiapoweruser.com/tag/nokia-8/) its better look than it.

                                    Beautiful and elegant. Combined with Nokia legendary solidness and ozo it's going to kick ass understated style.

                                      thisguy, 17 Jul 2017has no one noticed the fingerprint thing on the bottom left... moreIt isn't a shortcut. Just an indicator that animates when you, well, use the scanner. Pretty much every phone with a scanner has it, but it's usually in the center.
