The Nokia 8 Sirocco is the latest flagship from HMD Global who currently owns the rights for manufacturing Nokia phones.

There are quite a few changes in this phone so if you are interested to learn about those changes and the Nokia 8 Sirocco Dubai price, keep reading.

5.5-inch P-OLED Display

It has been a while since the smartphone market is being flooded by phones with near bezel-less display and the Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with a similar design. It’s nothing groundbreaking or anything but is definitely a first for Nokia to trim down some of the bezels and offer a phone with 81.1% screen-to-body ratio. The big 5.5-inch screen will be showing 2560 x 1440 pixels in 16:9 aspect ratio and 534ppi of pixel density. According to HMD Global, they focused on a design that’s good for everyday life and it’s ‘craftsmanship for real life’. Both the back and front side is covered with Gorilla Glass 5 and the stainless-steel frame adds a nice touch to it. This phone is also IP67 certified for dust and water resistance. We will have to wait for the Nokia 8 Sirocco release date UAE to find out if this phone will be available in other any other color except black. For those of you who are in the market for a bigger phone, there is the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Dual 12-Megapixel Rear Cameras

It has been a while since we saw any great camera focused phone from Nokia but that can change with the Nokia 8 Sirocco. This phone will be here with two 12-megapixel cameras. The wide-angle one is a 12-megapixel camera with f/1.75 aperture and OIS. It can ensure sharp and clear pictures thanks to Carl Zeiss optics and 2x optical zoom. The other one is also a 12-megapixel camera with f/2.6 aperture. It will be capable of capturing 4K videos at 30fps. Surprisingly, the front camera is only a 5-megapixel one which is not something you would expect to see in a latest flagship phones. We will be able to find out more about the quality of these cameras after the Nokia 8 Sirocco release date UAE. However, if you are eager to get a good camera phone right away, there is the Google Pixel 2 XL and iPhone X you can check out.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Processor

Although the Nokia 8 Sirocco is a new flagship phone that will be released in the first quarter of 2018, it will be packing a year-old Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor. While an old processor may not be a big of a deal to some people, it is definitely something to worry about when you think of the Nokia 8 Sirocco Dubai price.
