Nokia 8 Sirocco review: Style and substance, but is the price right?

 

Nokia 8 Sirocco review: The new breed of Nokia phones stand out for their looks. They have a distinct European design feel and aesthetic that's been missing in the smartphone space for many years now. At the moment, the Nokia 8 Sirocco is the pinnacle...

Nokia 8 Sirocco review

 

This heavyweight flagship makes its way to the red carpet...or does it?

The curved pOLED screen is gorgeous ; Feels premium and solid in the hand ; Great performance ; Strikes a pose with its good looks

A bit overpriced ; Camera needs work ; Some might find it heavy

The beautiful Sirocco has the potential for a flagship but seems overpriced for the current market

Nokia 8 review: HMD Global’s first flagship wants to go for the kill

 

Nokia 8's price in India is Rs 36,999 and this is an Amazon exclusive phone for online. Here's our review of Nokia 8 flagship from HMD Global.

Nokia 8 has some positives, including the design and build quality, the display. The performance of the device is also fast, similar to other phones running this processor. But given the competition in this price range, Nokia 8 is not yet a flagship...

Nokia 8 review

 

A grand comeback falls flat

Vibrant screen ; Powerful specs ; Slick take on Android

Tricksy camera ; iPhone ‘inspired’ design ; Average battery life

Nokia's newbie isn’t the great flagship phone it needs to be

Nokia 8 Sirocco

 

Nokia 8 Sirocco review: A bold move from a confident Nokia, the 8 Sirocco has a curved body and plenty of high-end features

Striking steel and glass design ; 128GB storage ; Produces great daylight photos

P-OLED screen spoils the curved front ; 16:9 screen already seems dated ; Oversaturated screen no good for photo previews ; Last-generation processor

The Nokia 8 Sirocco runs Android 8.0; it’s an Android One phone. This means there’s no custom interface and it relies primarily on Google apps rather than those of the manufacturer or another developer.

Nokia 8 Sirocco, 7 Plus, and 8110 4G hands-on review

 

Nokia is starting its second year as a new-look Android maker but it already has a big portfolio to build on and a solid market position to build from. More importantly it has a great relationship with Google which has enabled Nokia to supply its...

Nokia 8 Sirocco hands-on review

 

With a promising camera and a beautiful design, the Nokia 8 Sirocco is hard to ignore.

Beautiful design ; Comfortable to hold ; Good specs ; Speedy camera ; Stock Android 8.0 Oreo

Edges are a tad too sharp ; Hard to press buttons ; No headphone jack

Nokia 8

 

Nokia 8: Price, release date. features and price – Is this the Nokia HMD flagship device we have been waiting for? Or will it end being too expensive?

Sharp display ; Excellent battery life ; Pure take on Android

Generic design ; Disappointing camera ; Tiny fingerprint sensor

Some people have been waiting an awful long time for Nokia to make an Android phone.

Nokia 8 hands-on review

 

If we used the Nokia 8's Bothie mode to shoot a reaction to the phone, it would be all smiles.

Fun, creative Bothie mode ; Monochrome camera mode is excellent ; Almost pure Android ; Very fast and smooth performance ; Polished copper model is a stunner

Design is very subtle ; If you don't like Bothies, you may find the phone too modest

Nokia 8 review: Connecting the dots

 

This is it then. The long-awaited Finnish flagship that goes all in against the phones that rule today. The Finnish cameraphone returning to claim the prize that was once its birthright. Everybody bow and make way?
