The Comparison
While the Samsung Galaxy S8 is an elegant glass and metal piece, the Nokia 8 is rumored to be metal only. Just like the Samsung Galaxy S8, the Nokia 8 will have IP68 water and dust resistance. But the Samsung Galaxy S8 is slimmer and overall more elegant than the Nokia 8, so it certainly gets a big plus on design.

Both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Nokia 8 have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor on board, with the mention that the Nokia 8 might just have a bit more RAM than the Samsung Galaxy S8. Both phones offer microSD support. The camera is where the Nokia 8 shines. It will have Zeiss camera technology if the latest rumors are to be trusted, and the rear camera will be a dual one, following the latest trends in smartphone design.
