Last week I had the pleasure of writing to you about the recently produced renders of the upcoming Nokia 9 flagship.

Nokia 8 is NOT coming to the US
Sorry for the misinformation! Some time ago I wrote a small post about how Nokia 8 will be available in the land of freedom, justice and apple pie, but now this news has been, unfortunately, debunked. The above screen of a message written by Rex Fryhover, head of sales for HMD Global’s US branch, explains why it is so. The term ”not properly banded for the US” probably means connectivity bands for mobile data and telecoms.Sorry, Americans! There is always hope that Nokia will change its mind, or maybe it is just an innocent mistake and/or accidental ...

The update is late – Juho Sarvikas, CEO of HMD Global, promised we will get it by the end of August – but better late than never, right?

Custom variant of Nokia 8 may come out in the United States
According to Nokiapoweruser, a Nokia-oriented news website, custom edition of the phone will be available in the U.S (and China, in case anyone cares). The difference between a normal and custom Nokia 8’s is supposedly increased memory of the latter, 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM instead of 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. Nokiapoweruser believes that Nokia assigns a, quote, ”very high priority”, which means that the US release may happen later or maybe the US custom version will be a lesser variant of the Chinese one.Date of release of the phone is unknown, but we may to have wait as long ...
