The phone has dual 12MP cameras at the back, with the secondary telephoto lens offering 2x optical zoom. There's a 5MP camera up front, and like Nokias of previous years the Nokia 8 Sirocco features Carl Zeiss optics. Oh, and the primary lens offer OIS, and the front and back glass panels are layered with Gorilla Glass 5.
Other specs include Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C Gen 3.1, IP68 dust and water resistance, and a 3260mAh battery with Quick Charge 4.0 and Qi wireless charging.
The Nokia 8 Sirocco has a lot going for it, and with the phone slated to debut at Rs.49,999 in India.

Nokia 7 Plus
The Nokia 7 Plus sees HMD switching to the 18:9 form factor, with the phone featuring a 6.0-inch panel with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 (FHD+). The display is backed by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3, and under the hood there's a Snapdragon 660 along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
The Nokia 7 Plus comes with the same dual 12MP camera setup as the Nokia 8 Sirocco, but it's missing OIS on the primary camera. Up front, there's a 16MP camera.
Rounding out the specs, you get Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi ac, USB-C Gen 2.0, and a 3800mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0. Like other HMD phones, the Nokia 7 Plus is machined out of series 6000 aluminum, and there's a ceramic coating at the back.
The Nokia 7 Plus is available in black and white, and the phone retails for Rs. 25,999.
Nokia 6 2018
The Nokia 6 2018 has Snapdragon 630. a 5.5-inch 16:9 Full HD panel, 3GB/4GB of RAM, 32GB/64GB of storage, a 16MP primary camera, 8MP back camera, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C, and a 3000mAh battery with fast charging. HMD says you'll be able to top up to 50% in just 30 minutes.
The Nokia 6 2018 is positioned in the budget segment — with the phone going on sale for Rs . 16,999 — and there's no shortage of competition. The best option right now is Xiaomi's Redmi Note 5 Pro, and with Motorola set to offer the Moto G6 series sometime this quarter, there are plenty of decent options if you're in the market for a budget phone.
The one thing in the Nokia 6's favor is its durability. Just like Nokia phones of old, the Nokia 6 continues that tradition. The phone is machined out of series 6000 aluminum, and the 2018 variant features a two-tone anodized finish.
The Nokia 6 2018 will be available starting April 6 for Rs. 16,999, and the Nokia 7 Plus will be up for pre-order starting April 20. Sales kick off from April 30, and the phone will be sold on Amazon India as well as elect retail outlets.
As for the Nokia 8 Sirocco, the flagship will also go on sale at the same time as the Nokia 7 Plus, but it will be sold on Flipkart.
