User opinions and reviews

I have been using this phone since May 2018, and this is my review.
I got this phone for $250, and for the price, it's a good phone overall.
The build quality is seriously incredible. Aside from the feel and looks, the phone is quite sturdy. The phone literally fell off from single-story stairs, stumbling and rolling down, fell flat on its face. My heart stopped for a moment because the phone was not protected by any screen shield or case. But when I picked it up, the Nokia branding was for real. It survived, with very little to minor dents on the body, and a light unnoticeable scratch on the bottom left of the screen.
The hand feel is sleek and boxy, with some good weight, making me feel like holding a premium device.
The LCD screen is not that bright and has a warm tone, instead of the bluish tint of Xiaomi devices. The blacks are incredible, seriously, I loved it.
The quality of the bottom-firing speaker is one of the worst parts of the device. The sound quality is really low and grainy. It sometimes sounds louder and sometimes much lower.
The Android One platform is a better choice than any of the heavily customized skins from other brands except for Oxygen OS. And Android One is not completely Pure Android from the Pixels, but it's close. But Android One is also the worst of Nokia because it's not optimized well. It's really buggy and the animation framerates are choppy. Sliding right to access Google Feeds, swiping down for notification shade and unlocking animations skip frames and lag, completely breaking the Pixel Experience. It puts this phone to shame how much of its other competitors have smoother and elegant animations e.g. OneUI, EMUI, and MIUI. Using gesture navigation freezes the apps in Task Managers several times. The Android Experience in Nokia 7 Plus is below average.
The phone has a loose charging port issue.
It heats too much while charging our playing games like PUBG.
Performance of Snapdragon 660 paired with 4 GB of RAM is really good and beats competition like Xiaomi Mi A2 with an underclocked device.
The Camera quality is Meh, Live Bokeh is a piece of crap, not even close to Mi A2 portrait mode. Then I installed Google Pixel back.rider GCAM mode, and I am getting an awesome photography experience. Because Nokia has fully enabled the Camera2API, I was able to install the application without unlocking, flashing and rooting.
Nokia made some mistakes with this phone, but still, with GCAM installed, it's a bomb in such a lower price.

    km, 08 Aug 2019what about battery life with use of 4gDont buy the phone, its not good at all, there is a usb port issue which causes causes some of the phones to not charge at all, it also has a display where some of the phones have a novatek display which is not good and you can not choose which display you want when buying the phone. The usb issue affects the 2019 versions too because hmd being the assholes they are decided to use the broken usb ports ignoring the users complaining and they are still ignoring as they still havent addressed this issue, so dont buy any hmd products which include nokia.

          ok. I have been using this phone for a year and let me tell you my experience with this phone. You can disregard those to gotten this phone recently because problems don't arise after a couple of months.

          Firstly, it does have the charging port issue, although I got this problem only recently, which means it didn't happen for about a year. Nothing to do with cheap cables or not though. The daily plugging in and out of the charger is probably the cause.

          Secondly, there is some software issue which causes the phone to be unresponsive to swipes. Basically what will happen is that the phone will detect a press when there is none and then freeze up. Only buttons will work. You have to press the power button to let it go to sleep and press on it again. Although this takes like a second to do, it is rather irritating.

          Thirdly, camera is not good. Colors are washed out, shutter speed is not fast enough in auto mode which causes blur. There is also a lag between the shutter and when the picture is taken

          Don't expect old nokia models build quality and toughness. But it is not bad with this price point.

I think charging port issues are somehow user's faults. Some other brand cables make port loose. Use provided or quality cable. Keep away from $1-2 cables.

From the amount of posts here from users suffering with the problem it clear that it is a serious issue with this phone and you are taking the attitude that Nokia is taking, and that is 'Let's pretend that it doesn't exist and then it will go away'. Nokia used to be renowned for their build quality but HMD Global (the present owners) do not have the expertise that the original Nokia had, and the result is that they are building substandard products.

Its not even a fair to compare them,oneplus 5 blows off the nokia in every aspect. Oneplus 5 can also record 4k,the camera quality is similar,both are pretty average,however for the most people both will do a fine job. The zeiss optics are really not as great as they sound,its mostly a marketing name. The oneplus is a much more powerful and fast device than the nokia.

It has exact same camera hardware as of Google pixel 2. Plus Google mods work excellent. Others do not have Dual Pixel Autofocus. So your choice is clear :)

                                        Nokia is by far the worst company. The legendary Nokia is no more, even Microsoft has made some solid phones in the name of Nokia. But when it is taken by HMD Global, they ruin its brand value and impression.

                                        I'm a big fan of Nokia, so I bought three mobiles for its brand value but I forgot that they were made by idiots. #HMD

                                        Yes, they are Nokia 5.1, 6.1 and 7 Plus and each and every phone has a charging slot issue, and the worst thing is that they demand huge amount of money as repairing cost in the warranty period too.

                                        The phones have been protected by Gorilla Glass, but they are scratched and broken very easily from 1 feet height.
                                        I mean really .. Nokia?

                                        So please do not invest your hard earned money and let them grow, allow them to make some solid phones without any manufacturing defects.
                                        Like previous Nokia. "REAL NOKIA".
