Nokia 8 sports a 5.3-inch QHD display protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Sadly, if you are into bezel-less displays, Nokia 8 will disappoint you as it features thick bezels and physical buttons at the bottom. However, on the brighter side, it ships with Android 7.1.1 Nougat and Nokia has promised to ship regular and timely updates to the device.
