Amazing phone in all sense. Never had any problems with it except finding a proper case for it haha. Further, the durability and resistance of this phone really surprised me. Yes, I did water test it in my basin. It goes to sites with me throughout Africa to do satellite installations and Nokia will stay my favorite brand. (Not the Microsoft ones shhh).
Took me a while to get used to the "Pro-Camera" feature. But damn, the photos it takes is simply amazing.
Battery life is amazing as well as reception which I find better than some of the leading brands in hard to reach areas.
So happy Nokia made a solid come back.

Just a follow up to my earlier comment on the phone and a suggestion for future reviews:
I recently received a pair of JBL Free X True Wireless Earbuds, when paired to my Nokia, the sound will stutter when I move the phone, sometimes it will stutter when I don't even move the phone.
To make matters worse the bluetooth connection cut out on me when I was walking down a street and I put my phone in my pocket. At first I looked at some of the product reviews of the JBL product and it seemed to have a pretty bad wrap of people in general having bad connectivity issues with it.
So I tested it on a Huawei Nova 3i, no connectivity issues as experienced with the Nokia. No idea why it is this way but it's seriously disappointing. I have tried clearing the bluetooth cache and resetting the phone, to no avail.
I would suggest future reviews in GSMArena to compare the bluetooth connection strenth/latency of mobile devices, I don't think just listing the supported codecs gives a clear enough picture.

I'm in shock. Bitterly disappointed. My Siroocco slipped out of my pocket & 50% of the screen shattered. Numerous repairers have confirmed it's not worth fixing (It would cost A$380!) It is 2 months old & cost over A$600! Only now have I found this is a known problem (see https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/9420/siroccos-screen-replacement-costs-a-bomb) What is Nokia trying to do - kill its brand all over again? I invested in this phone coz I trusted in the Nokia of old. I also checked out GSMArena, and all looked good. Bad news. Not happy!

I got this phone a week ago and I'm amazed by the quality and the speed it has.
I paid about 300 Euro for it, so the price was really good. This includes a 5 year warranty (3 year extension).
Battery lasts really well, I have Wifi. Mobile Data, Bluetooth all the time on and I do use it quite a lot, however it doesn't require me to charge it under 24 hours of use.
I'm super satisfied with it.

I had a choice of this phone and the latest Xperia Compact around the time this one launched, I think it was XZ3 or ZX3, both were around the same price, but for some reason I decided to go off Sony and went with this one.
Pretty disappointed I did. Android One was a selling point till you find out that how long HMD takes to update their phones. The worst thing about this phone, is that literally no one else bought it, so it's pretty hard to track down cases/covers for the phone in Hong Kong.
There is seriously no choice when it comes to hunting down screen and back protectors for this phone here.

The Sirocco has a trapeze-shaped display. Why? It gives you super easy scrolling.
just my 2 cents.
