Nokia 8 release date set for August 16

After basking under rumor light for quite some time, Nokia’s flagship device will see the light of the day next month. To be precise, Nokia 8 will be released on August 16th, as per a latest report.

The report states that HMD Global has confirmed that it will unveil the Nokia 8 at an event in London on August 16th at 7.30pm UK time. In fact, the company has already sent out invites for an event to be held on the mentioned date.

Although the invite doesn’t categorically mention Nokia 8, it reads thus: HMD Global invites you to an exclusive gathering to unveil the next milestone for Nokia phones. This ‘milestone’, we believe points towards the company’s 2017 flagship smartphone, which is Nokia 8.
