NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer

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

Firstpost | Rehan Hooda

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.

AVForums | David Phelan

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.

NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo

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.

A unique flagship that's more of a mutation than a market-leader

CNET UK | Daniel Van Boom

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

Gadgets Now | Aabhas Sharma

... this is a premium phone that checks most of the boxes. It's stylish and sleek – even if slightly unconventional – and boasts of a lot of impressive features.

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.

AndroidPit | Pierre Vitre

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.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

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.

phoneArena | Daniel Petrov

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.

Expert Reviews | Tom Bruce

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.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
