Of course, the update will take time to reach everyone, so if you have not gotten it yet, you will have to wait a few days. HMD Global says it expects all countries in the first wave to have received it by April 20.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is still up for 1 more year of security updates before it reaches its end of life.

The steady rise of HMD Global’s Nokia brand is not just hinged on the strong reputation of the brand in the past or the beauty of its smartphone designs. The growth is also stimulated by the company’s efforts in ensuring users of its smartphones get the latest software updates. In this regard, the company has been rolling out software updates for a number of its devices in the past few weeks.

The updates are not really major ones but are extremely crucial since they come with the latest security patch. One of the models receiving the update is the Nokia 3. The new update on the device brings with it the November 2018 security patch which unfortunately doesn’t upgrade the software from Android 8.0 Oreo. Users can avail themselves of the update via OTA and it comes with a file size of 82.75MB.

In addition, the Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco also received the update with the same November 2018 security patch. In case you own any of the affected models, just navigate to the settings option and check under the ‘About Phone’ options. Since it is an OTA update, the download link will be available there. We still have to wait for Android Pie to roll out for a Nokia phone. Hopefully, that would happen rapidly as soon as Nokia launches a phone with Android Pie or later versions, all thanks to Project Treble and Google’s continuous support.

Google officially announced the arrival of Android 9 Pie and the company is already making it available to Pixel devices. After the Pixel devices, the search engine giant is expected to make the Android 9 Pie to devices that are listed under Android One program. Since HMD Global had confirmed at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 that all Nokia smartphones above Nokia 2 will join the Android One program, many Nokia phones are expected to receive Android 9 Pie update earlier than other smartphones from other companies. Today, through an official blog post, Google has confirmed that all the Android One devices and other phones that have joined the Android P Beta program will be treated with Android 9 Pie by the end of the fall.

All the Nokia Android One phones that are slated to receive the Android 9 Pie update Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6 (2018), Nokia 6.1 Plus (Nokia X6), Nokia 5.1 Plus (Nokia X5), Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1 and Nokia 2.1. Among these, the Nokia 7 Plus is expected to get the final Android P update by the end of this month since it is one of the smartphones that have been enrolled in the Android P beta program.

Apart from Android One phones by HMD Global, other Nokia phones are also confirmed to receive Android P update. Around two months ago, Neil Broadley who is the global market manager of HMD Global had said that the Android P will be made available to entire Nokia portfolio. These means that other older Nokia phone such as Nokia 8, Nokia 7, Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3, Nokia 2 and Nokia 1 will be also treated with Android 9 Pie. However, as mentioned above, Nokia Android One phones will be the first ones to be blessed with Android Pie.

Following the release of the iPhone X, face unlock has become a popular feature Android manufacturers include in their devices. Although, only a few ones like the Mi 8 Explorer Edition and the OPPO Find X offer the same level of security as the iPhone X.

HMD Global will be following the footsteps of other manufacturers by rolling out the feature to a number of its phones via an update according to a new report.

@deepalakshmii Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 plus and the new Nokia 6, as well as the Nokia 8 will get face unlock as an OTA update in the coming months

The info comes from a Twitter response to a user asking if the face unlock update is available for the Nokia 8. The official Nokia Mobile account replied that it would get the update in the coming months along with other devices. These other devices are the Nokia 8 Sirocco, the Nokia 7 Plus, and the Nokia 6.1.

If you own any of the aforementioned devices, you may want to look forward to the update when it starts rolling out. However, you shouldn’t forget that the fingerprint scanner on these devices offers a higher level of security than face unlock.

With this announcement, we expect more Nokia phones will also get the feature soon.

Every Nokia fan knows that HMD Global is putting huge efforts into the software support for its Android devices. But software is not the only thing the Finnish company owning the Nokia brand is working hard for. HMD Global’s Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas has shared some images of early prototypes of Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 1 and the “banana phone” 8110. The images give us a glimpse of the early design of the handsets and judging from their look the prototypes seem to be 3D-printed. Juho Sarvikas has also published a photo showing the 6000 series aluminum block which was used to make the shell of the Nokia 6.

He declared that the Sirocco flagship was internally codenamed Avenger and that “Modeling and early prototyping is the key for success”. In terms of aesthetics, Nokia 8 Sirocco is definitely the most interesting HMD device. But this is obvious given that it is currently the most powerful HMD flagship. It has a glass back, a frame made of stainless steel and a curved edge-to-edge display with the P-OLED technology. Even though it has very narrow bezels, it retains the classic 16:9 aspect ratio and a size of 5.5 inches.

Note that 8 Sirocco is the only HMD smartphone to feature a glass back, while all the other devices have either a full metal unibody design or a plastic body. And it is also the only HMD device to feature IP67 certification which makes it dust resistant and water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 minutes). Given that Nokia 1 is the most entry-level HMD handset (it even comes with Android Go out of the box), it is entirely made of polycarbonate with a simple design and thick bezels, but a compact size. Obviously, the 8110 has a polycarbonate design too as it is a feature phone.

Xiaomi has recently dethroned Samsung to become the number smartphone brand in India. The Chinese manufacturer was able to grab the number one spot because of the highly popular mid-range Redmi Note and Redmi smartphones. However, Xiaomi is not doing well in the market for premium tier smartphones. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun had recently claimed that the Mi MIX 2 was not received well by the Indian customers. Fresh information reveals that the premium market was mainly dominated by phones like Samsung Galaxy S9+, Galaxy S9 and OnePlus 5T in the first quarter of this year. This has allowed Samsung to once again lead the premium tier market in India.

According to the latest market survey conducted by Counterpoint Research, the premium tier constitutes only 4 percent of the entire smartphone market in India. It has also stated that Samsung, OnePlus and Apple are the three main phone manufacturers that together account for 95 percent of the premium tier market.

In Q4 2018, Apple had reigned over the premium phones market in India because of phones like iPhone X and iPhone 8 series that were launched in the same quarter. The research firm claims Apple is now pushed to third position in Q1 2018 because of poor demand and increased import taxes that has led to overall volume decline of 55 percent. However, the company has been enjoying consistent sales for older iPhones on Amazon India and Flipkart.

The Samsung Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy A8+ smartphones that were unveiled in the first quarter of this year have received good reception in India. Samsung’s popularity in the premium segment buoyed by the arrival of Galaxy S9 duo that has allowed it capture half of the premium market along with a year-on-year growth 16 percent.

OnePlus is in the second position in the premium market in India. The Chinese brand has shown the most stability as it has been holding to the same position since three consecutive quarters. The OnePlus 5T that was launched in Q4 2017 went on to become the most popular premium phone in Q1 2018. Its limited-edition variants like Lava Red and Star Wars themed model that was exclusively launched in India along with brick-and-mortar sales allowed to remain popular for Galaxy S9, iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

The upcoming OnePlus 6 is expected to increase the market share of the company in the premium segment since it has opened new stores and achieved wider brand awareness. Huawei has recently launched the P20 Pro in India and HMD Global has just released Nokia 8 Sirocco in the country. Both the companies are expected to compete with Samsung, OnePlus and Apple in the second quarter of the year.

The first is its most important flagship and it features a 5.5-inch display with narrow bezels and a Quad HD resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco was launched back in February at MWC 2018.  It is the most expensive and most powerful phone on the Android One program.

The flagship phone is an upgraded version of the Nokia 8 with all the features users complained were missing now included and more. So, it is no surprise that the Nokia 8 Sirocco has a higher launch price than the Nokia 8 (€749 against €599).

That price doesn’t seem to deter those who want it as it seems to be flying off shelves very fast. It already went on sale in China on JD.com last month but it appears it went out of stock. The online mall again listed it today for sale but is now sold out.

It is a bit surprising as this is something we only associate with brands like Xiaomi. Nevertheless, we can’t tell if this is a case of available stock being smaller than normal or the phone itself is really selling fast.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is priced at ¥4699 (~$747). It has a 5.5” 2K pOLED curved display with Gorilla Glass 5. It is powered by the Snapdragon 835 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There are dual ZEISS lens on the rear in a 12MP + 13MP configuration and a 5MP front-facing camera.

The phone has a 3260mAh battery, supports QC 3.0 and wireless charging, and has an IP67 rating. There is Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and a USB-C port.

India is one of the top three markets through which HMD Global is generating its revenue. Hence, HMD Global CEO Florian Sieche is aiming to rank Nokia among the top five phone brands in the country. This year the company will be investing more on retail presence, consumer engagement and advertising.

HMD Global India head Ajay Mehta is of the view that offline channel is the core strength of the company. Hence, the firm will be aiming to increase the visibility of the brand this year by increasing the retail presence by 10 percent. He added that online sales is around 30 percent of market, but it is integral to sell its devices through e-commerce sites to become of the top ranking smartphone brands in India. At present the Finnish firm is in talks with its manufacturing partner Foxconn to ramp up the manufacturing of existing Nokia smartphones and feature phones in India.

Starting from April, the company aims to launch Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 6 (2018) and Nokia 1 phones in India. According to Sieche, India is a vast market for 4G feature phones. Hence, it is planning to launch the Nokia 8110 4G phone in collaboration with Reliance Jio in May. Both the firms will be aiming to sell the Nokia 8110 4G feature phone to around 500 million basic phone users of the country who have not upgraded to high-end smartphones.

After the arrival of the Apple iPhone X, everyone seems to have caught the notch bug. According to a new report published by NPU even Nokia 9, the most powerful HMD Global flagship of 2018, will feature a notch up front. This obviously hints at the presence of a display with a high screen-to-body ratio and very narrow bezels. Indeed, the notch is used by smartphone manufacturers to minimize the bezels on the upper portion of the display. Given that the phone will have very narrow bezels and there will be no space for a physical Home key with a fingerprint reader on the front, Nokia 9 could include an under-display fingerprint reader.

According to the report, users will just need to touch the display to unlock the phone, thanks to the new chip unveiled by Synaptics. We have already seen such a fingerprint reader on the Vivo X20 Plus UD and it will be also present on its successor Vivo X21. According to NPU, Nokia 9 will be a totally different device from the Nokia 8 Sirocco released at MWC 2018, even though Nokia 8 Sirocco was supposed to be called Nokia 9 before the official announcement. Among other specs, Nokia 9 (2018) is expected to sport a curved edge-to-edge display like the Nokia 8 Sirocco, but it will likely have an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Further, we expect to see a very innovative camera. Previous leaks have suggested that this device will come with a Penta-lens camera co-engineered with Carl Zeiss. Under the hood, there should be the best SoC by Qualcomm. We are referring to the octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC which can run at a max frequency of 2.9 GHz and includes a dedicated module for artificial intelligence. We still have no info about the launch date of the handset, neither about its availability and its launch price.

HMD Global has just showcased Nokia 8 Sirocco at MWC 2018, a new variant of the Nokia 8. Usually, variants are not so different from their original versions, but this is definitely not the case. The Sirocco version of the flagship is a huge improvement over its predecessor and it is way different from the standard edition. So, in this Nokia 8 vs Nokia 8 Sirocco comparison, we will see the main differences and improvements between these two smartphones, and you will discover whether or not it is worth spending some money to buy this new and powerful variant.

Nokia 8 vs Nokia 8 Sirocco

Aesthetically, the two handsets are completely different. While the first has a full metal unibody design, the second is a glass sandwich — featuring a stainless steel frame between two curved glasses. It not only has a better look, but it is also water resistant (IP67 certified), while its predecessor is just splash proof. The Sirocco version has a borderless display with the P-OLED technology which is way better than the “just above-average” IPS panel of the original Nokia 8. Further, the narrow bezels make the phone smaller even though the display size remains almost the same. There are no significant changes in the hardware side as the Finnish giant has launched this new variant with Snapdragon 835 SoC, again. But it is worth mentioning that Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, while its predecessor had Nougat.

The dual camera should be much better given that it has a larger aperture (f/1.75), dual pixel PD autofocus and 2x optical zoom, besides its Carl Zeiss lens. On the other hand, the front camera has a much lower resolution (13 vs 5 MP). The battery is slightly bigger (3260 vs 3090 mAh): thanks to the higher capacity and with the OLED panel, it should last a bit more. Nokia 8 Sirocco will soon be launched in Europe with a price tag of €750, while Nokia 8 can be found at about €360 ($443) in its 4/64 GB configuration (note that Sirocco has 6 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM) thanks to online street prices. At the moment, the improvements made do not justify the much higher price, but when the price will drop to at least €550-600, Nokia 8 Sirocco will be a better choice.

A couple of weeks back, it was revealed that HMD Global filed a trademark application for the name Nokia 8 Sirocco. Sirocco is defined by most dictionaries as a warm, sultry south or southeast wind accompanied by rain, occurring in the same regions. In this light, the Nokia 8 Sirocco model is anticipated to feature a topnotch design and perhaps would be launched globally. The model has been appearing in leaks quite regularly, so it is no surprise that the guys at Concept Creator have come up with a concept design of the Sirocco model.

The video was spotted on the outfit’s Youtube channel and it showcases the device adorning a glass body on top a metal fuselage. The device is expected to be a high-end model and it packs a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The Nokia 8 Sirocco concept also reveals a Zeiss-branded dual camera setup on the back. Just under the dual cameras, there is a dual-LED flash.Interestingly, the device also packs a dual camera setup at the front, making it a Quad-camera packing smartphone.  Other noticeable features include regulars like a 3.5mm headphone jack placed at the top of the phone, a SIM card tray on the right side of the display and a USB Type-C port at the bottom of the device. The concept video showcases the Nokia 8 Sirocco in three different colour trims; an all-black back, a black back with orange sides, orange accents around the dual camera setup and a fingerprint scanner, and a variant with blue-coloured backside as well. This similar to what Nokia is doing with the Nokia 7 Plus as seen on the leaked press renders.

Another key design feature is the thin bezels the device packs on its display. Earlier rumour tips the device to feature a 5.5-inch OLED display with an FHD+ resolution. It is also expected to feature a Snapdragon 845 chip paired with 6GB of RAM. It remains to be seen if the Nokia 8 Sirocco would pack these specs as well as the design but we expect all the details to unravel when it is launched at MWC 2018. Meanwhile, here’s is the concept video.

Recent reports have been claiming that HMD Global will be launching the Nokia 10 flagship smartphone with penta-lens camera setup in August this year. However, a fresh report reveals that the Nokia 10 smartphone is not in works. It claims that the Finnish company is working on a smartphone called Nokia 8 Pro and it will be equipped with penta-lens camera system.

Citing a trusted source, Nokia Power User claims that the Nokia 8 Pro is a retail name of the upcoming flagship phone from HMD Global. It has further stated that it could be the same handset that was previously rumored to debut as Nokia 10 later this year.

The Nokia 8 Pro flagship is rumored to be fueled by Snapdragon 845 chipset. The inclusion of “Pro” indicates that it will be packed with advanced camera feature. It is speculated that the Nokia 8 Pro will be blessed with penta-lens camera setup that may include a rotating zoom camera technology.

In the below image, the handset shown in the left could be the Nokia 8 Pro whereas the one on the right could be the Nokia 9 (also being referred to as Nokia 8 Sirocco). Except for the size and camera module, both smartphones seem to feature similar design.

The Nokia 8 Pro is speculated to come with glass panels on it front and rear sides. The fingerprint scanner could be placed the five-lens camera module. The frontside of the 8 Pro is likely to feature 18:9 aspect ratio display.

Even though the Nokia 8 Pro moniker has appeared from a trusted source, the Finnish firm may launch it with a different name. The flagship phone may get unveiled in August or September this year.

At the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2018 later this month, HMD Global is expected to launch a range of Nokia-branded devices. The expected list of devices include Nokia 1, Nokia 6 (2018), and Nokia 8 Sirocco.

While the devices will get announced later this month, they won’t be launched in the Indian market soon. A report suggests that the Nokia 1, Nokia 6 (2018) and the Nokia 8 Sirocco will make their way to the Indian market in the month of April.

The report further adds that along with these three devices, the company could also launched a couple of more devices in the Indian market. However, HMD Global has not yet confirmed any of these devices for the MWC 2018 launch.

The Nokia 1 could be the company’s most affordable smartphone and is expected to be the part of Google’s Android Go program. The Android Oreo Go edition has been optimized to support hardware with low-end specifications without compromising on user experience.

According to the previous reports, the Nokia 1 is expected to come with an HD IPS LCD display and run either Qualcomm or MediaTek processor along with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The device is expected to be priced around Rs. 6,500 in the Indian market.

At the upcoming MWC in Barcelona, the company is expected to announce Nokia 6 (2018) globally, which is already available in China. This second-generation Nokia 6 comes with a 5.5-inch full HD LCD display with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It sits well protected under 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor and packs 4GB RAM with 32GB/64GB of internal storage. At the back, there’s a dual-LED enabled 16-megapixel camera and an 8-megapixel 84-degree wide-angle front-facing snapper.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco, which is also referred as Nokia 9, is expected to be the premium offering from the company. It is believed to be a high-end phone running the latest Snapdragon 845 processor. It is likely to feature a 5.5-inch Quad HD OLED display with 3D glass on top.

Reports suggests that the device will pack dual ZEISS-certified cameras at the back, having a combination of 12-megapixel sensor and a 13-megapixel sensor. On the front, there will be a 5-megapixel selfie camera. As per the reports, the device is expected to arrive with IP67 certification for dust and water resistance.

Samsung, Xiaomi and Sony are expected to debut Snapdragon 845 driven flagship smartphones at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 tech expo later this month HMD Global has also confirmed that it will be present at MWC 2018 on Feb. 26 to unleash new devices. A recent report had revealed that the Finnish firm had recently trademarked the Nokia 8 Sirocco moniker. Fresh information reveals that the smartphone will be fueled by Snapdragon 845 and it may get unveiled at the forthcoming tech trade fair.

Previous reports have revealed that the HMD Global is working on 2018 edition of Nokia 8. In 2006, Nokia had launched the Nokia 8800 Sirocco phone. It is speculated that the upcoming Nokia 8 variant will be a tribute the 8800 Sirocco. The trademark filing had revealed that the model number of this upcoming Nokia phone is TA-1005. Leaked information reveals that the Snapdragon 845 chipset will be present under the hood of the Nokia 8 Sirocco. The SoC will be coupled with 6 GB of RAM.

Like the original Nokia 8 from last year, the Nokia 8 Sirocco is expected to house a dual camera setup. It is likely to include ZEISS certified 12-megapixel sensor and 13-megapixel sensor. It is expected to arrive with a selfie camera of 5-megapixel. The smartphone is expected to arrive with IP67 certified dustproof and waterproof chassis.

It may house a 3,250mAh battery that will be equipped with wireless charging. The exact size of the screen is not known and there is no confirmation on whether it will be supporting 18:9 aspect ratio. Instead of the LCD panel available on the original Nokia 8, the upcoming Sirocco model may arrive with an OLED panel. Rumors also claim that it will be carrying a price tag of 5,000 Yuan (`$793).

Not only the Nokia 8 Sirocco, but also other phones such as Nokia 9, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6 (2018) global edition, Nokia 4, Nokia 1 and Nokia 3310 4G global variant are likely to get announced at MWC 2018. As far as the abovementioned specifications of the Nokia 8 Sirocco are concerned, we advise to take this report with a pinch of salt.

HMD Global has trademarked a new name for an alleged flagship: Nokia 8 Sirocco, identified by the code name TA-1005. Until now, TA-1005 was rumored to be the Nokia 9, but after this trademark, there is a chance that this device will not be the next flagship launched by HMD Global. Sirocco is a name which reminds of Nokia 8800 Sirocco, so the variant of the model 8 might be a tribute to this old feature phone. In case you do not know, the 8800 has been one of the costliest phones ever released by Nokia. Build quality was one of its strong points as it had a sapphire glass, steel panels, and even a leather case.

This makes us think that Nokia 8 Sirocco might focus on the build quality, besides being a high-end phone. The device might be announced at the most important trade show of the year dedicated to mobile devices. We are talking about Mobile World Congress 2018 which will be held in Barcelona starting on February 26. HMD Global has already confirmed its presence to the event through an official teaser published on social networks, and the company has invited fans to prepare for the next chapter of the Nokia story.

Nokia TA-1005, that is the alleged Nokia 8 Sirocco, is expected to come with an OLED display provided by LG, unlike the LCD panel found on the standard version of the model 8. On the hardware side, it might sport an octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor by Qualcomm, running at a max frequency of 2.45 GHz. The flagship is rumored to spot four cameras: a dual camera setup on its back with resolutions of 12 and 13 MP, and a dual camera on the front side for selfies. The battery should have a bigger capacity than its predecessor with 3250 mAh. The rest of the specs should remain the same as the standard version of the phone.
