Notebookcheck has tested the Nokia 8 Sirocco. This mobile phone offers a fast SoC and an unusual exterior - and can safely be called a designer phone. Unlike the rather inconspicuous sibling models Nokia 1, Nokia 3 and Nokia 6, this Nokia has a very individual look. The phone can be purchased without a contract on the internet and should also be available through your network operator. The Nokia 8 Sirocco also goes by the name of Nokia TA-1005.

For all its charms and unique design choices, the Nokia 8 Sirocco struggles to feel worthy of that $1199 asking price.

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.

Nokia 8 Sirocco review: A premium indulgence

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is shiny, yet solid, and offers pure and up-to-date Android experience… but does that merit a premium price tag? Find out in our Nokia 8 review.
