HMD Global has a pretty interesting smartphone lineup for 2018. All of its mainstream and high-end offerings are part of Google’s Android One programme, which means you’re guaranteed to get regular security updates and major Android version updates for two years. This in itself is a big deal, considering how most Android smartphone manufacturers struggle to keep up with Google’s update cycle. Out of the new Android One Nokia smartphone family announced during MWC 2018, we’ve so far reviewed the Nokia 7 Plus (Review) and the new Nokia 6 (Review), and both have managed to impress us with their performance considering their respective price points.
The Nokia 8 Sirocco features a 5.5-inch Quad HD pOLED display with Gorilla Glass 5. Colours are vibrant but they can look a little too exaggerated at times. The body is made from stainless steel and the thanks to the glass back, there's support for Qi wireless charging. The phone uses a Snapdragon 835 SoC, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Software is up to date too, as you get Android 8.1 Oreo and the most recent security patch. The main 12-megapixel sensor captures good details and the second telephoto lens lets you get closer to the scene. Battery life is also good and there's fast charging too.
