Also I have seen the white version of Nokia 7 Plus which I own have less issues than the black one. But then again whites in our country was launched in limited numbers as black color smartphones are a rage here.

I acknowledge... moreFor how long you've been using it?
And you still don't have any charging port issue?
Mine is just one year old. And it's charging without any charging port issue.

I acknowledge the Novatek display panel & USB port issues which I seem to have escaped miraculously. My Nokia 7 Plus display is not the Novatek one and I am still to face the port issue.
Overall very satisfied with phone. Perhaps the best smartphone that ever came out of Nokia under HMD banner.

By far the worst smartphone I've ever had! Problems, Problems, Problems!!!!! The software system has multiple issues which remain unsolved from HMD. I lost data because of some updates and another time I was forced to return to factory settings losing everything! Camera has also problems! The quality at night is very dissapointing for 400euros! Do a favor to yourself and stay away from Nokia and its devices!

15 months using this phone , here is my review :
** The good :
- Performance : Very good, it's not a flagship SOC but is plenty powerful for daily tasks, never felt lacking.I don't play intensive games so can't comment on the GPU.
- Battery life : Great ! such a relief from my older phones - I usually end my days with some 5 hours SOT at 40% left ! , very efficient for common tasks as YouTube and browsing. However there are a couple of things that will eat through the battery if used for some time and those are Bluetooth , WiFi hotspot and GPS/google maps.
- Very good call quality and reception.
- Loudspeaker is decent ,a bit louder than average.
- Getting good LTE speeds and stable signal.
- Good materials and build (except charging port).
- Good quality video recording and sound capturing in the camera app.
- Large display.
** The Bad but manageable:
- A bit large and heavy , difficult to use one handed, makes you appreciate a smaller phone when you use one.
- WiFi reception is a bit weak, and sometimes (but not constantly) it disconnects and reconnects while other devices don't , a hardware/antenna design issue most likely.
- Camera quality for still images (stock Nokia app) is inconsistent , sometimes good sometimes not , no OIS and not very good in low light.
- Display colors are OK but with a slight warm grey-yellow tone to them , don't like the calibration (Novatek panel , see below).
- A fair amount of small scratches on screen (screen protectors did not work with this display panel , causes ghost touches and/or responsiveness).
** The ugly and why I can't recommend this phone:
- Charging port problem : After 14 months the charging port started getting loose and charging now keeps stopping , a common issue and a design fault by Nokia, many reporting the problem happening again and again after port replacement.
- Android 10 bugs : Nokia released a buggy upgrade to Android 10 that messed up the phone, nasty bugs such as the sound crackling issue and screen freezes..etc, no fix still after 5 months , Nokia you can't leave us hanging like that (And of course I did a factory reset..etc , it's just a bad release). Hoping for an MR to fix this, I don't trust their software department to release a quality build , other Nokia phone models reporting bad software issues as well.
- Display panel problems : Apparently after the initial release and good reviews Nokia decided to switch display panel vendor and is using a panel that has dull colors , ghost touches (esp. in lower part of display) , and can't dim properly- brightness is high in lowest setting- Just look up the "Novatek" display issue this phone has , you never know which panel you get until you buy one.

Maybe I always performed hard factory reset on both phones just after receiving the Android 9 & Android 10 software updates. I live in proper metropolitan city and never had any issues regarding call quality. Calling 7+ slow with Snapdragon 660, o don't think so. On the contrary it is a very fast phone, maybe not flagship grade but close to it.

the worst phone of all times. even my 1+x was far better. Been using this phone for 2 years and it has been nothing but a serious PIA. Never going to buy from Nokia ever again. It's slower than a stupid snail. HMD, pls shut yourself and save us from the trouble. Seriously, resign you newbs.

I was a Nokia user for many years with only one that was junk. Went to another brand for better reception and was great (I am more interested in the reception where I am than any other features) Not long ago went to Nokia 7+ as I needed a new ph again. Biggest piece of junk I have used. Screen locks or freezes and reception out here is useless. Text messages do what they want when they want. Never again a Nokia

Zoran, 05 May 2020I had my Nokia 7 Plus since 2018 and I have nothing negativ... moreNokia 7 Plus is like a piece of gold. Once you lost it, near impossible to find another. To me this phone is the most pure and the best Nokia that ever came out under HMD banner. Why do I say so?
Because Nokia 7 Plus is a material first led design. A pure Nokia. It's body is carved out for a single block of 6000 series aluminum and six layers of ceramic feel like paint is applied to it which gives a unique look & feel in the palm while holding the device. Then a cutter is used to shave the paint on four sides by 2.75 mm to again expose the bare metal. Consecutive two layers of anodization process is then performed which gives the bare sides a unique copper like finish.
An internal die cast metal mid-frame is then screwed internally to the metal body which reinforces the core of the device. No less than 19 screws locks the internal metal plate to this unibody gives the Nokia 7 Plus it ultimate structural integrity & durability. This is an approach to engineering that is build to last. It is this strength from inside which I believe inspires the beauty on the outside.
No wonder it won prestigious design awards like EISA, 2018 Best Consumer Smartphone. And also the most durable phone of the year award in 2018 from JerryRigsEverything.
It is also most balanced Nokia phone, the balance between design, craftsmanship, hardware specs, latest trend in terms of 18:9 dispaly, battery endurance, camera capability & price. I own a Nokia 7 Plus, the more eye catching white version in 4/64 GB configuration. Love this device & also my Nokia 6.1.
Nokia 7.1 was the successor of Nokia 6.1. Nokia 8.1 was the real successor of Nokia 7 Plus. The to be released current successor of 7 Plus in Nokia 8.3. Look for my post below for better explanation.

I had my Nokia 7 Plus since 2018 and I have nothing negative to say about it.
Battery life is good, screen size and resolution is great. Performance is nice smooth, watching videos or playing games. Unfortunately, I have dropped my Nokia into water and it is really hard to find a store that still sells the N7+. I just want the same phone.
I don't understand Nokia, having a newer model eg. N7.1 and N7.2, but the battery is worst than older model N7+ and 7.1 has slower processor.

Krishna Rao, 04 May 2020Less than two years, the battery efficiency gone, its drain... moreMy Nokia 7 Plus goes through another strange phenomenon.
If I completely charge the battery to 100% and then switch off the phone for a week and then turn it back on it will show only 5% left. Their is a continuous battery drain when the phone is switched off. However under normal usage the phone will last me for 1.5 days. Hence the battery is still is good health.
My Nokia 6.1 does not go through this strange phenomenon. I have seen another post where the same issue was bought forward by another person.
Does anybody have any real reasoning for this? Are their any background apps continuously running even when switched off? How is it even possible?

Less than two years, the battery efficiency gone, its draining within few hours i.e., less than three hours after full charge.( Nokia 7 Plus - purchased on 21st May 2018)
