Nokia 8 Scirocco now available in UK
HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, has announced that the Nokia 8 Sirocco is now available to buy from Carphone Warehouse, John Lewis, Mobile Phones Direct and Amazon.
In the new world of the ‘notch’ and the likes, it’s somewhat refreshing to see something that’s inspired by the rich design heritage of Nokia phones. The Nokia 8 Sirocco’s design and compact style is the “blend of precise craftsmanship and purposeful innovation”.
It is also great to see that Nokia retains ZEISS optics.
Nokia 8 Scirocco design
The Nokia 8 Sirocco’s premium curved glass seamlessly meets a frame precision milled from a single piece of stainless steel. Its compact style delivers an ultra-slim profile. The flagship combination of an edge-to-edge curved display with smaller bezel creates a sleek, slim look.
Luxuriously weighted and perfectly balanced, it feels more secure in your hand thanks to the improved grip given by the dual diamond-polished stainless steel frame.
Powerful storytelling
Capture every detail thanks to the Nokia 8 Sirocco’s dual rear sensors with ZEISS optics. Thanks to its Pro Camera mode you can have full manual control over each picture.
Enhanced Dual-Sight, which seamlessly harnesses both front and back cameras, now delivers an all new Picture-in-Picture view and better integration with Google Photos.
The Nokia 8 Sirocco is optimised and tuned to deliver effortless performance with its 6GB RAM and 128GB. Powering things along is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip.
Moreover, this also happens to be the first Nokia Android smartphone to support Qi wireless charging.
Pure, secure and up-to-date, reinforced with Android One commitment
The Nokia 8 Sirocco joins the Android One family, offering a high-quality software experience designed by Google.
Additionally, I like that it lands with a pure Android installation. Furthermore, this means that it comes with no unnecessary UI changes or hidden processes that would eat up battery life or hamper performance.
Finally, the phone ships loaded with Android Oreo out of the box.
