The phone uses a glass + metal hybrid body. Nokia said that each of the phones forges from a single piece of stainless steel, ensuring a solid unibody structure. The thickness is only 7.5 mm, and the phone is IP67 certified as well. In comparison to Nokia 8, the rear has improved a lot. The vertical shaped dual cameras have been shifted to the top occupying compact space. The rear fingerprint is present at the bottom. It looks almost invisible with no visible boundary when the phone’s rear is reflected. The whole rear is 100% better from Nokia 8 apart from that bulged rear camera section, as it’s glass. Moving to the screen, Nokia 8 Sirocco is integrated a 5.5-inch 2K pOLED screen. It’s a double-sided curved surface with 3D Corning Gorilla Glass Protection 5. Indeed, the screen is one of the selling points of the phone. Hardware & Camera Under the hood, we have the Snapdragon 835 as the SoC, which is one of the cons, as everyone is expecting the new generation SD 845 to release today. Other specs and features are simply perfect. The SoC is accompanied by 6GB LPDDR4X memory and 128GB storage. A 3260mAh battery powers the flagship, supporting QC4.0 fast charge, Qi wireless charging. This is Nokia’s first time to feature wireless charging in one of its flagships. The connectivity feature includes 802.11ac ( MIMO), Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS / GLONASS / Beidou navigation. Heading to the camera, we have the dual rear camera configuration. Getting in details, its a 12 MP wide-angle primary lens (F1.75) + a 13-megapixel telephoto secondary lens (F2.6), supporting 2x optical zoom, and passed the Zeiss certification. Meanwhile, the front camera is 5MP with F2.0 aperture.See alsoBlack Shark OWS 700 Open EarBuds debut with 16.2mm driversMuhammad Arbaz·March 26, 2024 Nokia redesigns the camera UI.
