While on a visual approach to Runway 08 at PHX approximately a 4 mile final at approximately 2500 feet MSL at our 3 o'clock position the FO reported a drone to the tower. FO gave the tower the color; altitude; and position of the drone. After arrival at the terminal we gave the same information to the PHX airport police. I never saw the drone myself and no evasive action was taken or needed. More information should be made available to the public on the hazards of flying drones in close proximity of airports.
Air carrier Captain reported a UAV flying near the final approach path to PHX Runway 8.
