Nokia 8 Sirocco review: A bold move from Nokia | Trusted Reviews

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

Nokia 8 Sirocco review

It has the looks, but does it have the tech to match?

Luxury design ; Clean software ; Lots of storage

Uses a 2017 chipset ; P-OLED screen has issues ; Camera doesn’t match the best at the price

Nokia has successfully made a luxury phone, with a high-end build, generally decent specs and no software bloat, but the Nokia 8 Sirocco seems slightly dated in too many areas to fully recommend.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is too expensive for its own good

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is the best Nokia Android phone yet, but not exciting enough to justify the cost.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is fast, feels sturdy, has a long battery life and runs the sleek Android One operating system.

It lacks any standout features to justify its premium pricing. The Nokia 8 Sirocco's camera isn't reliable enough, and its design, while improved over the regular Nokia 8, feels stout and a little outdated.

While the Nokia 8 Sirocco does suffer from minor faults, its main issue is being outclassed by similarly-priced competitors.

Nokia 8 Sirocco

Nokia's most radical design to date means the 8 Sirocco rivals the Galaxy S9. It's cheaper, but that's not enough to make it better. Find out more in our full review.

Nokia 8 Sirocco Smartphone Review

We review the Nokia 8 Sirocco, a smartphone with a 12-megapixel camera, 2x telephoto lens, and ZEISS optics.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is a gorgeous looking phone with an almost exclusively glass and metal construction, making it surprisingly pleasing to hold. However, what we have here is a severe case of style over substance.

Nokia 8 Sirocco Review

The latest Nokia phone to arrive takes the same number as last year's high-end model but adds an extra word to the name and a lot of class.

Chic design ; Strong camera hardware and software ; Wireless charging ; Decent processor

Display has off-axis issues ; Not cheap

Nokia 8 Sirocco review (hands-on): Sultry new design but not much substance

A sexy new design for the special edition Nokia 8 Sirocco, but this year's Finnish flagship doesn't tick ALL the boxes

Nokia is well and truly on the road to recovery as a smartphone brand and with the Nokia 8 Sirocco – a design that’s both mature and alluring – it’s certain to begin attracting fans back who might have deserted the brand over the past few years.
