After the live images of the launch on August 16 at an event in London, and there's a lot that has been leaked about the smartphone.

Chinese social site Baidu is the host of newly leaked photos of the Nokia 8's Copper Gold variant in action, with the screen in a working condition. It corroborates past leaks, and the Nokia 8 is seen having sufficient bezel, capacitive buttons for navigation, and a home button underneath which the fingerprint scanner will be integrated. It seems to sport a metal body and the biggest highlight is the vertical dual camera strip at the back, courtesy Carl Zeiss optics. Interestingly, there are four holes in the camera ring - two for sensors, one for flash, and the last one is presumed to be for laser autofocus. However, that's just pure speculation, and the fourth hole could serve a completely different purpose.
The Nokia 8 volume and power keys are both housed on the right edge of the smartphone. Past renders suggest that the 3.5mm audio jack sits on the top edge, while it will sport a Micro USB port i.e. no fast charging. At launch, the Nokia 8 may be available in four colour options - Blue, Steel, Gold/Blue, and Gold/Copper.

Design wise, the imagined renders show no fingerprint sensor at the front or back, no Home Button, and on screen navigation keys as well. The camera setup at the back sits inside a capsule-like ring, and the Nokia branding is seen at the front and back. The volume and power keys are on the right edge of the smartphone. The Nokia 2 is also tipped to be launched alongside the Nokia 8 on August 16, however this should be taken lightly.
