The Nokia 8 Sirocco recently launched in the UK and now the handset is also launching in Australia along with the Nokia 7 Plus.
The Nokia 8 Sirocco is being sold exclusively through JB HiFi in Australia, and the device will set you back $1199 AUD, which is about $910 at the current exchange rate. This premium pricing reflects the high-end features and build quality that the Nokia 8 Sirocco offers.
Design and Display
As a reminder, the Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with a 5.5-inch display with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which ensures durability and resistance to scratches. The handset features a sleek and elegant design with a stainless steel frame, giving it a premium look and feel. The curved edges of the display add to the aesthetic appeal and make it comfortable to hold.
Performance and Storage
Under the hood, the Nokia 8 Sirocco is powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor, which was Qualcomm’s flagship chipset at the time of the phone’s release. This ensures smooth performance and efficient multitasking. The device is equipped with 6GB of RAM, which allows for seamless switching between apps and a lag-free user experience. Additionally, the Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with 128GB of internal storage, providing ample space for all your apps, photos, and videos. Unfortunately, there is no microSD card slot for expandable storage, so users will have to rely on the built-in storage.
Battery and Charging
One of the standout features of the Nokia 8 Sirocco is its 3260 mAh battery, which supports Qi Wireless Charging. This allows for convenient and cable-free charging, making it easier to keep your device powered throughout the day. The battery life is sufficient for a full day of moderate to heavy usage, thanks to the efficient power management of the Snapdragon 835 processor.
Camera Capabilities
The Nokia 8 Sirocco boasts high-end cameras on both the front and back. On the rear, there is a dual-camera setup consisting of a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 13-megapixel telephoto lens. This combination allows for impressive photo quality with excellent detail and color accuracy. The dual-camera system also supports 2x optical zoom and features such as portrait mode and bokeh effects. Up front, there is a 5-megapixel camera for selfies, which is adequate for video calls and social media posts, although it may not match the quality of some other flagship devices.
Software and Additional Features
The Nokia 8 Sirocco runs on Android One, which means it offers a pure Android experience with no bloatware and timely software updates. This ensures that users have access to the latest features and security patches from Google. The device also includes a fingerprint sensor on the back for quick and secure unlocking, as well as IP67 water and dust resistance, making it a durable option for everyday use.
