The Nokia Stand is usually full during the Mobile World Congress 2018, perhaps because of the curiosity of the visitors in reviewing classic phones from the Finnish company, now relaunched by HMD Global, but end up being “stuck” looking at the company's new, consistent launches.
Nokia has taken advantage of the start of the show to show the smartphones that will carry the company's banner in 2018:
- Nokia 8 Sirocco
- Nokia 7 Plus
- Nokia 6
- Nokia 1
What do all these smartphones have in common? They bring pure Android. Yes, Nokia bets on the Google operating system without many customizations. You can see that performance is perhaps the best option. But let's emphasize, for now, the top of the range, the smartphone that has the name of an African desert storm (maybe it's a warning to the competition).
Nokia 8 Sirocco
The company's new top-of-the-range product was Nokia 8 Sirocco , has an interesting design, finished in unibody body (does not allow its components to be disconnected in any way), glass front and metal edges.
But, beauty is not everything, so Nokia added a rear camera with dual sensor 13 (wide) and 12 megapixels (telephoto). The front camera has 5 MP with wide-angle lens. The lenses are respectable: Zeiss with Pro Mode, giving the most professional photography users the possibility to take advantage of camera power.
