Reviews for the Nokia 8 Sirocco

Nokia 8 Sirocco: Dual-cam mid-ranger
Source: DxOMark Archive.org version
The Nokia 8 Sirocco improves upon the manufacturer’s smartphone camera hardware, packing in a dual camera with tele-lens for optical zoom shots and a good PDAF autofocus system. Overall image quality is a step up from the predecessor Nokia 8, offering slightly more consistent results for exposure and color. Its performance and image quality is competent, if not exceptional, with the best photos captured in bright light, producing images with good exposure, color, and texture. Results in lower light are acceptable, but it’s not an ideal low-light shooter, with losses of texture and color saturation evident, especially in very low light. Overall, for a mid-range device, the Nokia 8 Sirocco does an OK job with both photos and video, but devices with better results are available at this price point.

70% Nokia 8 Sirocco review: The high-end Nokia looking to steal Samsung's crown
Source: Pocket Lint Archive.org version
The flagship Nokia is about design: it's slim, with curved glass edges to its 5.5in screen, and a clean Android One software experience. But it launches on dated hardware and which, along with some connectivity issues, spells issues. It's got merit, just not quite enough of it.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is a really interesting device that’s completely different to its other phones. With similar design, it’s a direct rival to the Galaxy S9 with it's curved glass design.

78% Nokia 8 Sirocco review: A flawed flagship
Source: Zdnet.com Archive.org version
The Nokia 8 Sirocco has plenty of plus points: battery life is good, there's plenty of internal storage at 128GB, the Snapdragon 835 processor is competent, the dual rear cameras work well enough, an IP67 rating is welcome, and Android One makes for good future-proofing.

Still, if it falls down in price, the Sirocco will be a great option for those Android purists who like their interface fast and clean or their displays in a more traditional aspect ratio. Until then, the price tag may chase away many potential buyers, irregardless of the nostalgia whiff that Nokia's Sirocco models may send down their spines.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is a conundrum. On the good side, it is strangely compelling. On the other it has 5.5-inch 16:9 POLED display and last year’s Qualcomm 835 SoC.

Ultimately, it's hard to recommend a flagship with a flawed display and merely okay camera and battery life. This would be the voice of reason. We choose to listen to another voice though, and it insists that going a decade back in time is worth putting up with a few imperfections. Nostalgic types, we are.

Nokia 8 Sirocco review: A premium indulgence
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
The Nokia 8 Sirocco is a premium flagship smartphone that looks the part. Despite HMD Global’s audacious addition of a dated processor, traditional display ratio, single SIM capability, and removal of the headphone jack, it costs just as much as a phone that includes all of these omissions. Yet, quizzically, everything is still likable about this phone.

Nokia 8 Sirocco review: Style and substance, but is the price right?
Source: The Indian Express Archive.org version
At Rs 49,999, a lot of users might think the phone is pricey. I too think this would be a killer device around the price point of the OnePlus 5T. Anyway, given the design and the camera abilities, it will be that hard to impress some people to invest in the Nokia 8 Sirocco as their phone for the next few years.

80% Nokia 8 Sirocco review: Good work Nokia, but buyers can skip this flagship
Source: Tech2 Archive.org version
HMD Global has priced the Nokia 8 Sirocco at Rs 54,999 in the Indian market. This puts the device in almost the same territory as the spectacular Google Pixel 2, and Galaxy S9. The upcoming flagship by OnePlus, the OnePlus 6 is likely to be cheaper than the Sirocco. Despite the capable camera, Android One support, interesting new design and great battery life, I can’t really recommend Nokia 8 Sirocco.

The biggest sticking point for Nokia 8 Sirocco will be its price. At Rs 49,999, this is a premium phone that checks most of the boxes. It’s stylish and sleek – even if slightly unconventional – and boasts of a lot of impressive features. HMD Global has made a product that will excite a lot of users and is certainly one of the better-looking devices around. The display is appealing and the battery performance is really impressive.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is currently HMD Global's flagship offering but that might not be for long. You see, this phone is a bit of an experiment, according to the company, which means we still haven't seen HMD Global's true flagship for 2018. This would most likely be called the Nokia 9, which according to the most recent leak, should have a pretty extravagant camera setup in order to take on the likes of Huawei P20 Pro.

After taking over Nokia, HMD’s efforts are obvious. From Nokia 6 to Nokia 6 2nd Generation, 3310 to 3310 4G and Nokia 7 to Nokia 7 plus… in just over a year, HMD has released more than ten new Smartphones, even some models have been completed iteratively. Among these products, there has also been explosion models, which isn’t easy for an old brand that has returned again.

By the time HMD Global launches the Nokia 8 Sirocco (May in India), there might be quite a lot of 2018 flagships powered by newer hardware, boasting of newer capabilities when it comes to entertainment, AI, security, and more. Still, it’s quite likely that people will be attracted to this phone as a statement piece. It looks great, feels good in the hand, and is still pretty high-end. It’s a worthy improvement over the Nokia 8, but of course we’ll reserve final judgment till we can review this phone in depth for ourselves, so stay tuned to Gadgets 360.

The Nokia 8 Sirocca undoubtedly looks like an elegant and impressive follow-up to last year's Nokia 8. We have some slight concerns about the fact that it's using a last-gen processor, but this should also result in a slightly better battery life than if Nokia had opted for a more recent chip.

Comment

Model:

After many attempts of a revival, the Nokia brand is doing well once again. The Nokia 8 is its flagship Android model. With a successful start in the Android market, the company has expanded its product line this year. Its latest phone is the Nokia 8 Sirocco. Bringing back nostalgic elements from the Nokia 8800 Sirocco, this new model is meant to represent the same premium feel. The 2018 Nokia 8 model comes with a 5.5-inch P-OLED screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, bringing its pixel density to 534 ppi. However, unlike most 2018 flagships, the Nokia 8 Sirocco retains the 16:9 curved screen. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but for those who are looking for a large bezel-less screen in a small body, this might not be your first choice. The bezels are pretty small and look good enough, though. The curved screen also hides the side bezels well. The front and back is covered with Gorilla Glass 5 and there is a stainless steel frame for the rest of the body. Without a doubt, the build quality is as good as back in Nokia’s glorious days. In many ways, it looks like the Samsung Note 7. It is only available in black, which means there are no color dilemmas. The Nokia 8 Sirocco measures 140.9 x 73 mm and is just 7.5 mm thick.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with the Snapdragon 835 processor, which is a surprise, mainly because it does not include the latest Snapdragon 845. It is paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory. The memory can be expanded by using a microSD card (up to 400 GB). The Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with stock Android 8.0. At the back is a dual camera setup with two 12-MP sensors (f/1.8, 1.4um and f/2.6, 1.0um). At the front is a 5-MP shooter capable of capturing videos in full HD. Following the steps of Apple and Google, Nokia has left out the 3.5mm audio jack. However, it does have a USB-3.1 Type-C port for data transfer and charging. The Sirocco is also IP67 certified, which means that its casing is quite durable. The device is not without its problems, though. It has been reported that its curved screen has very bad palm rejection and that the camera is not all that good for a 2018 flagship. The phone has a 3260-mAh battery and supports Quick Charge 4.0. Nevertheless, with its premium price and older processor, the Nokia 8 Sirocco might not be the first choice for most buyers.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish company founded in 1865 and headquartered in Finland. The company is known for its telecommunications equipment and cell phones. Nokia was one of the leading manufacturers of cell phones in the 1990s and has expanded its business into networking and technology solutions in recent years.
