HMD Global to launch high-end Nokia 8 Sirocco, entry-level Nokia 1 with Android Go, and more

HMD Global went hard at MWC 2018 today, showing off a total of five devices.

The first is the Nokia 8 Sirocco, which you can see at the top of this post. This high-end Android One phone comes with Oreo in tow as well as a 5.5-inch Quad HD pOLED screen, a Snapdragon 835 processor, and a ZEISS-branded dual rear camera setup with a 12MP wide angle lens and 13MP telephoto lens.

Also included with the Nokia 8 Sirocco is a 5MP front-facing camera, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a rear fingerprint reader, and a 3,260mAh battery that you can recharge using USB-C or Qi wireless charging. Two other details worth noting are that the Nokia 8 Sirocco’s body is more than 95 percent glass and that it’s got a steel frame.

Expect to see the Nokia 8 Sirocco in early April for €749 ($920 USD).
