Bothie allows you to simultaneously activate both the front and rear cameras to capture photos and videos. Similar features are already in place in some Samsung smartphones, but the Nokia 8 allows you to broadcast the video to Facebook or YouTube which the former isn’t capable of. Another amazing detail is the addition of Ozo Audio that enables the smartphone to record 360-degree audio to be broadcast live on streams.

The new Nokia 8 is available in a ravishing array of eye-catching color options like Polished Blue, Polished Copper, Tempered Blue and Tempered Steel, it leaves many options for the appeal to everyone’s aesthetic senses.

The division of the variants is essentially done on the basis of availability of single or dual SIM card options depending on the region of release as well as the ability to support limited bands and network frequencies. One is a Global variant with Single SIM module, the other Global variant comes with Dual SIM and lastly, there is one with Dual SIM for the China/Taiwan region. A detailed overview of the models is given below:
Nokia 8 TA-1004
- Model Number: TA-1004
- Availability: Global
- SIM Card Support: Dual SIM
TA-1004 is the most widely available as well as the most useful in terms of a larger user base. The model, in addition to being globally available has the facility of dual SIM that allows you to use two numbers at a time hence eliminating the need for carrying multiple devices for different numbers. Also, the TA-1004 is encapsulates most of the primary needs of a conventional consumer from all over the world specially targeting the Middle East and South Asian region.

Nokia 8 TA-1012
- Model Number: TA-1012
- Availability: Global
- SIM Card Support: Single SIM
Model number TA-1012 is the single SIM variant of the Nokia 8. We have seen less of this unit around as most people prefer the dual SIM functionality. This variant is available globally, so we expect to see it in some European region only.
Nokia 8 TA-1052
- Model Number: TA-1052
- Availability: China/Taiwan
- SIM Card Support: Dual SIM
Variant number TA-1052 is yet to be released but we know it will be available in the China/Taiwan and the US region only. This defers from the global version as it has limited availability of bands and some particular network frequencies based on the region. The technical specifications remain a mystery as of yet but all will be revealed as the launch date draws to a near.
