Some hidden facts for which I need more information/ clarifications...

We know that Sony manufactures 48mp Camera. But they don't employ it in any of their devices. WHY?

The great leaders of mobiles, Apple and Google-Pixel don't entertain 48 mp camera. WHY?

If there will be a day which dawns with a technology with a 48 bayer - 1 mp camera?

      Anonymous, 16 Dec 2019Nokia 7.2 is one of the best phone in mid-range price outst... moreThe 'king' was used to be one step ahead.. now its 2 steps behind... I am not impressed with any nokia devices in 2019.. didn't even recommended any nokia devices to anyone.. hopefully.. just Hopefully in 2020 HMD will release some good devices like they did in 2018

        Carol, 15 Dec 2019A good friend tries to understand the motive behind decisio... moreWell, now I feel that I am beating around the bush. Now to hit it straight, comparing 48mp camera of Zeiss-Nokia with 48mp of Sony, reveals that Sony is the clear winner. Obviously Zeiss has lost to Sony in the 48mp category. Hence the Chinese rivals win here since they employ Sony. Looking at the past credentials of Zeiss, this makes me doubt Nokia 7.2 as to whether it really employs Zeiss. Please clarify with your wisdom.

          Carol, 15 Dec 2019A good friend tries to understand the motive behind decisio... moreFirst of all while appraising Nokia 7.2, why do you take the opportunity to blame Xiaomi. You can compare, but need not have to show your hatred towards other brands.

          Coming to the point, what is the motive behind HMD's Nokia 7.2.?

          What do you mean by a "Balanced Device"?

          Who is responsible for the camera reception of Nokia 7.2? HMD or Zeiss? As per your argument and clarification, I think Zeiss has manufactured lenses for Nokia N9 and Microsoft (Nokia) 950. Why the so called quality of Zeiss went down with Nokia 7.2, when it was superior with N9 and 950? To be honest, I don't know who has manufactured lenses for Nokia 7.2. Please do answer as to whether it is Sony or Zeiss.

          Who said that I like Xiaomi Mi A3? But, DEFINITELY I'd have purchased Mi A3, if it had the specs of Xiaomi CC9.

            Anonymous, 15 Dec 2019Awesome note. Thats the correct reply from a Nokia fan. No... morePlease explain the so called quality. The word "QUALITY" has no meaning unless or otherwise interpreted properly. To be honest, I don't deny build quality of Nokia 7.2. Moreover, I don't deny the quality of "Android One" which is taken care of by Google.

                    Nokia is meant for quality and not just high specs which these people's(or MI Fan) are demanding for.
                    For those who are still demanding, Nokia phones are not for you. You are free to buy cheap chinese phones even with their bullshit build quality still you love because you want high specs on low price. Nokia is meant for quality and they are giving it and still they are affordable and not like greedy apple phones.

                      Subramanian CN, 14 Dec 2019I think you have shared your views to clear the doubt's of ... moreA good friend tries to understand the motive behind decisions. If you are a friend HMD definetly needs to change it's surroundings, no offense, just pin-pocking the reallity.

                      I am starting with the first mixing it a bit with the rest: it is ok for xiaomi to sell a under-avarage build quality device with screen from leftovers as long as it has a better cpu, but it is not ok for HMD to build a balanced device even if that would take a bit on the cpu side, a almost insignificant bit?

                      Zeiss: well Zeiss produce lenses for Nokia devices, not sensors. The lens are not for changing sensor capabilities or changing software algorithms. They guarantee that the sensor has the best possible clearer view it can have to take a picture. They also help at filtering light, give more sharpness to the picture or help a lot by contrast. So zeiss is not just the for flashy purpouse it actally guaraties high quality control and high quality see-trough.

                      The device still remains well balanced. So if you would have been a friend, you would have seen the bigger picture. Yeah, maybe the device should have had no zeiss, no better screen and avarage camera with better cpu and crappy build quality, so the people buy (because CPU), but aren't there already devices in this criteria? Why would HMD do the same? Let's wake a bit up, people claim change but complain when it comes and want the usual avarage.

                        So slowly this phone earphone quality so bad camera picture quality over sharpness. Worst phone please don't buy this phone

                          reversible, 14 Dec 2019I think people are perfectly satisfied with the prospects o... moreI think you have shared your views to clear the doubt's of readers and future prospects of Nokia 7.2. Hence, may I request you to clear something more. Instead of appraising Nokia 7.2, you have indirectly admitted and justified the weaknesses of Nokia 7.2.

                          1. As you've agreed upon about the prevailing fuss about the chipset used by Nokia 7.2 by comparing it with 665 and 675, may I know is 660 definitely superior to 670 SOC.

                          2. Since there is a lot more to a mobile device than its build quality, let us focus on the camera front. We everyone know the proficiencies of Zeiss Optics. Is the camera of Nokia 7.2 is on par with Nokia 950, since Nokia 950 too incorporates Zeiss Optics. Moreover, since you've admitted that Nokia 7.2's camera is on par with its Chinese rivals THOUGH NOT SUPERIOR, what does the Zeiss branding actually mean.

                          3. Since, every Nokia is an Android One device, it (Android One) doesn't build up more on Nokia 7.2.

                          4. If Xiaomi Mi A3 has lost to Nokia 7.2 because of its 720p display, what would had been the state of Nokia 7.2 if Mi A3 had the specs of Xiaomi CC9.

                          5 Just because you dislike Samsung One UI, doesn't justify One UI is bad.

                          6. Everyone knows that the sole Unique Selling Proposition of Nokia devices is its Android One licensing. Hence, this shouldn't become the privilege/factor in defending everything they do. Consumers do have choices like the Mi A3.

                          To end up gracefully, I'm not a hater of Nokia. To be honest my first 4 mobile devices was Nokia. I've dealt things here to help them with my feedback and suggestions to better serve the society, without which their existence becomes questionable. A good friend is the one who helps to correct the mistakes done. I do Wish Nokia to flourish better than the best.

                            I think people are perfectly satisfied with the prospects of Nokia 7.2.a lot of fuss has been raised over the use of a so called inferior chipset by 7.2.now this has been proved that SD 660 is better in GPU than SD 665 and it is superior to SD 675 in CPU allowing for a minor improvement in battery life.i think GSm arena showed a little acumen while reviewing Nokia 7.2 giving it ranking of just three.moto g8 plus despite its ordinary plastic build is given ranking of 3.5,when it cannot take a photo with its ultrawide cam (stand-alone).battery charging time of both sets being the same,and chipset being almost similar performance wise,I think Nokia 7.2 's array of cameras a little better due to certified Zeiss optics both in selfie and rear cameras output .anyway here are my findings about Nokia 7.2 after a month of use .1)the build quality of Nokia 7.2 is far better than other smartphones in this price range especially realme 3 pro,Huawei y9 prime 2019,and Moto g8 plus.2)the stock android on Nokia 7.2 is smoother,more fluent and easier to use than color OS and emui and is a little ahead of Motorola stockish version (because gesture support is around the corner for Nokia 7.2 within days to be upgraded to android 10.3)cameras on Nokia 7.2 are at par with the realme 5 pro and g8 plus,redmi note 8 pro,redmi note 8 ,if not superior.4)in design and handset feel redmi note 8/pro,are a little at disadvantage because Nokia oozes a premium Ness which is hard to find on redmis.5)in price to value ratio no other set claims to be rival of Nokia 7.2 other than redmi note 8 pro but miui of redmis is a matter of personal preference,choice and taste and I m partial to pure android as Google intended it to be.xiaomi mi A3 loses on 720p granulated screen,although amoled one and Vivo S1 4gb in our market notwithstanding an amoled screen has a heavy foutouch skin is not for the android purists either .Samsung galaxy a 50 and a50s are a bit costlier ,don't exactly fall in price category of Nokia 7.2,personally I don't like Samsung UI because of its heaviness and ram hogging issues although Samsung is trying to improve it for the last couple of years.4)other companies no doubt are promising updates and upgrades but they don't give the solemn pledge.nokia is providing a guarantee of three years of monthly security updates and two major os upgrades to their line of android one handsets.this ensures keep getting better device and this is praise worthy especially in entry level and lower mid-range.5)battery on Nokia 7.2 is ai assisted and good for one whole day if not two.

My 7.2 came with a cover. I found many glass screen protections on Bidorbuy, Amazon and Ebay, but none in the local stores. Still doing some research

                                    Hokui, 06 Dec 2019Hello everyone what's up? I have Nokia 7.2 and I highly... moreI have a 2.1 and upgraded my primary phone from Blackberry Priv to 7.2. Yes the 7.2 is nice.

                                      My Final thoughts...

                                      Why Nokia fail to compete aggressively? Where the devil play its part? Is it because of Chinese rivals?

                                      Firstly, the mobile market has gone saturated. The market is flooded with plenty of variants from different manufacturers. To accept things honestly, the Chinese rivals are highly competent. Let us take Xiaomi's Mi A3. Everyone knows that Mi A3 is an exact copy of Xiaomi CC9e. Just guess the sales of Nokia 7.2 and Nokia 8.1 presuming Mi A3 was released with the specs of Xiaomi CC9 ( which would've become the ultimate BUDGET Android One phone of the world for the time ). Consumers are highly informed and the time have come where Product Management has to be geared up over Marketing Management. To my belief, too many cooks spoil the broth. This is not only the state of Android and Google but to individual manufacturers. Every manufacturer should adopt the Product Management Strategy of OnePlus, Pixel and Apple. Just one or two flagships and one or two budget device(s) would suffice. More importantly Android support to individual devices would become easier if this Strategy is adopted. We need not have to feel shy to copy the good from others since we have copied everything from our forefathers.

                                      Design and aesthetics matter. When we compare Nokia 7.2 and 8.1 with their Chinese rivals, the Chinese rivals look more appealing. ( We have to admit this honestly and gracefully ) Nokia 7.2 employs wider bezels on all sides comparatively to their Chinese rivals more notably on its left and right. Being a Notch display this looks really ugly, which ultimately murders its build quality honestly.

                                      As far as camera is concerned it doesn't live up to the expectations of Zeiss which ultimately spoils the credibility of Nokia and Zeiss as a whole. The quality of Zeiss Optics can be very well experienced in older mobiles like Nokia N9 and Microsoft's 950, 950xl.

                                      Coming to the hardware specs. Is Snapdragon 660 a bad processor? Definitely NO. But, is an outdated processor. Consumer tastes and beliefs has to be accounted for when framing a Product Development Strategy. Though everything from the books of Management is followed by every manufacturer, they fail to justify things accordingly to the present state of Market and competition.

                                      Lastly Pricing. Apple prices their products higher not only because of quality and brand value but there is no one else to compete in their segment and there are takers. Moreover, Apple supports their devices for a span of five years. They have created a world for themselves where no one can enter. Apple has achieved the state of ROLEX in the mobile market. But, Nokia hasn't attained and can't attain the Brand value of Apple at any point of time but can keep up their attained Brand Image by playing wisely. Though HMD and Android One can give justifications to their Pricing Strategies, do they really win. Nokia is getting its share of bread only just because it is Android One. Xiaomi prices their products aggressively in India just because they have their manufacturing facilities in India. If Nokia wishes to compete they have to follow the same suit.

                                      Everyone has got their own excuses. All that matters is victory and not mere justifications.
