Hmm, that's amazing. Not that a 4K selfie is needed as I'm sure it will all be great overall in the end. Looking forward to its release.

Back is great, but for something that carries the Nokia name, this is a big shame that they lack creativity nowadays.

Some keys to point out:
-The display when displaying black (the Nokia logo) looks to be backlit, which means the screen might not be AMOLED. I'm not against LCD at all, because I love LCD screens and my favorite one is the one on the XZ Premium, but tbh, by 2017 flagship standards, those black levels are extremely high.
-4K video on the front camera is a great news, but I don't think the SD835 really does that, I'm not sure but I might be wrong. But going back, 4K needs a superb hardware, and selfie cameras aren't really built to do that, but funnily, some mid rangers have front cameras that are actually capable of 4K video recording (the sensors, not the phone itself) such as the XA Ultra and XA1 Ultra. The current flagship phone right now with the most suited hardware for the task is the XZ Premium with the 1/3.06" 13mp AF front camera sensor - same rear camera as another flagship the G6 but with no OIS and slower f2.0 (still decent enough to take 4K videos).

Nokia 8Â’s back cam should have pureview tech. And the tech is required high MP right?

SteamBun*Invasion, 31 Jul 2017Holly molly a selfie camera that can shoot 4k video , OMFGA selfie camera that shoots 4K video is definitely nice, but there's more to it than that.
The reason I sound pessimistic is because the Essential PH-1 can also shoot 4K videos with it's 8 MP front camera, but it's aperture is only f/2.2 and it doesn't have OIS nor auto-focus.
I hope Nokia will have a more well rounded solution with wide aperture and perhaps even auto-focus (like the S8's selfie cam which can record QHD/1440p video BTW).

Well (again, quite similar) if the Nokia 8 will really (hopefully) include: 5.3" QHD display, SD835, 4GB/64GB (& maybe higher, optional), dual cam setup of 12MP each (+Carl Zeiss), 12MP front (+4K rec, like the Essential PH-1, etc) and so on, for the fantastic price (for a major brand flagship) of about €500, not just it will give a run to the other flagships for their money, but it will be most probably a true success. We'll see.
