Nokia and HMD Global have a new device that explicitly shows their impressive craftsmanship. Meet the new Nokia 8 Sirocco.
Right off the bat, your eyes will be in awe of the stunning looks of the Nokia 8 Sirocco. The device is built with 95% glass and the front is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 that smoothly melts on the sides. The back is also covered with the same glass, with the whole thing being held up by a single piece of stainless steel.

At first glance, the handset actually looks a lot like the Galaxy Note 8. And with its ultra-thin bezels, the 5.5-inch screen in front is mostly populated by the display, without any annoying notch on top.
The new Nokia 8 also boasts the company’s spatial audio technology with its three microphones. As per Nokia, it can record crystal-clear and distortion-free audio at up to 132dB.
At the back, there’s a 12-megapixel primary camera and an accompanying 13-megapixel sensor with a telephoto lens — both with ZEISS optics.
