The Nokia 8 Sirocco is not perfect, but it is a good high-end smartphone for individualists.

Despite the capable camera, Android One support, interesting new design and great battery life, I can't really recommend Nokia 8 Sirocco. Even for a Nokia loyalist, this is not Nokia's best device, even if it is their most expensive offering.

If you want the most advanced, most premium Nokia you can get, look no further. It's not cheap... and for many the regular Nokia 8 which costs quite a bit less will be more than sufficient.

All this stainless tell goodness does come at a price, and it's a rather steep. If aesthetics is on the top of your checklist when buying a phone, then this makes for a good candidate. For almost everything else though, Google or HTC's offerings would typically be a better fit.

While the Nokia 8 Sirocco does suffer from minor faults, its main issue is being outclassed by similarly-priced competitors.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

The flagship Nokia is about design: it's slim, with curved glass edges to its 5.5in screen, and a clean Android One software experience. But it launches on dated hardware and which, along with some connectivity issues, spells issues. It's got merit, just not quite enough of it.

So at the end of the day, despite certain qualities, this Nokia 8 Sirocco has little hope to win against its competitors (OnePlus 6, Galaxy S9, P20 Pro) to truly be one of the stars of the moment.

As the screen is the key to a smartphone, this failing makes it difficult to recommend the Nokia 8 Sirocco.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is a solid phone, but it has a few too many patchy elements to flatten the competition.

All in all, there's a number of high-end smartphones..which you could opt for instead of buying the Nokia 8 Sirocco, provided you don't want the absolute best-looking smartphone in the market.

TechRadar | Andrew Williams

Nokia has successfully made a luxury phone, with a high-end build, generally decent specs and no software bloat, but the Nokia 8 Sirocco seems slightly dated in too many areas to fully recommend.

Still, if it falls down in price, the Sirocco will be a great option for those Android purists who like their interface fast and clean or their displays in a more traditional aspect ratio.

Though pretty, it simply can't match the brilliance of any of its competitors within the same price range, and there's nothing about it that would push you to purchase it over the OnePlus 6.
