CharlieBoy, 27 Jun 2019This or the Redmi Note 7 4/128 variant? Currently same pric... moreWell it comes down to personal prefernce as the both phones have kinda same specs, N7plus has better build quality and better android experience, i would recommend you to go with nokia because it will provide you smooth perfomance for a longer time. I been using it for a year now and never had any issue with perfomance.

Hi, 27 Jun 2019Hi anybody got June security update?
@Hi
I checked my phone after reading your post and the security level is still on 1st May 2019, yet my Google Pixel 3a shows 5th June 2019. HMD aren't very quick with updates, are they.

I've been using this phone for 5 months, and everytime I delete a bug file (1 GB to 3GB file), it lags and the shuts down. Even if I do heavy tasks. I had a J7 Prime as my phone before this and it handled these tasks smoothly.
I don't know why these things happens because 1) it is an android one device 2) frequent updates. I had high expectations about this device but it is letting me down. Hopefully, when it will get Android Q (I hope it will), it will fix all these problems because I had 2 monthly updates now and nothing happened still.

FYI: I have been using Pie on this phone since last September. Haven't had any major issues. The camera has improved in last update. And if you are not happy with default camera, install Google camera mod. Problem solved :)

Had this phone 1 week and its great apart from one huge problem it wont update to pie its stuck on 8.1 and the August 2018 patch which is as a good as a chocolate watch in the mid day desert=useless now since this my research as stated dont upgrade at all stay at 8.1 but the camera is just rubbish now my sony zx kills it to death even though thats a rubbish phone as well camera overheats badly. Its meant to get constant updates and yes I could side-load it but why should I, its getting returned to retailer as faulty if it cant be an android one phone then thats mis-selling as well so nokia blew it again and I will just buy samsung again doing cheap was indeed not well thought out by me on this one! lol

Maybe you got a defected piece, because I am using it from the past 1 year, and it also hell fell down from first floor, with no dents or broken screen, and the phone works as fine as it came out of the box.

I agree with your comment, however things are... moreBy interest I did some google search and found Novatek is a Taiwanese company who manufactures display driver ICs. They also manufacture small-sized single-chip display drivers which are suitable for mobile phone applications.
http://www.novatek.com.tw/en-global/Product/product/Index/product2
In all certainty your phone display module is using a different panel and new Novatek display driver IC and as such the driver firmware is named accordingly 'Novatek-V07 - Goodix-V1-017.16'.
In my case it comes with a display panel with driver IC as Nokia intended & advertised to be in Nokia 7 Plus during launch. Hence the firmware version is named accordingly 'V07 Goodix-V1.017.20'.

I agree with your comment, however things are not that simple. In the UK, goods must be 'Fit for the purpose for which they are intended', and some unscrupulous retailers exploit that loophole. If the screen had failed completely, or if one of the buttons had fallen off then it would qualify for a refund, but because the phone was working I was refused a refund. That isn't always the way though, some retailers offer a 'No quibble guarantee' but I chose a seller who stuck to the rules.

I do have a question though. You must have realized that there is something wrong with the phone when you saw the screen. A simple google search would have helped you to make the decision whether to return the phone or keep it. Why you did not bother to do it? It would have saved you from further pain.

Some more info about my Nokia 7 Plus:
a) Phone manufactured in India.
b) Model TA-1046.
c) It is of white color.
d) 4GB RAM variant.
d) Touch panel firmware version: V07 Goodix-V1.017.20
Sorry to know the Novatek-VO7 version has such issues. My phone display has pretty accurate colors and produces crisp whites. Dull is not the word I will use to describe the 7 Plus display.
However in the end I can only speak about my experiences with Nokia 7 Plus. And I am exceptionally happy with my phone be it exceptional build quality, pure android user experience and a great display.
I simply can't ask more from Nokia at this asking price!!!

RishiGuru, 18 Jun 2019You are not getting my point.
First, comparison between... more@RishiGuru
You can quote all the numbers you want, but that doesn't count when Nokia KNOW that they have used defective components on some of the N7+ phones. Go to the following link to learn what I am talking about:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nokia7Plus/comments/9ecq8x/greenishcool_display_novatek_v07/
You will see that if your model was built with the 07 component then screens such as the app drawer are a crisp white colour, but if it was built with the Novatek-VO7 like mine, then the same screen is a dirty white/grey colour and is difficult to read.
Nokia know about the fault because they have received complaints outlining the problem. If Nokia had any decency then they would recall the faulty models and replace the screen. Instead, some people (including me) received the reply 'The screen works so there is no need to replace it' Disgraceful. So please, don't quote build quality to me or others who are suffering the same way.

Best Consumer Smartphone Award merely means che... moreYou are not getting my point.
First, comparison between a $930 device (Huawei P20 Pro) with a $370 Nokia 7 Plus is plane unjust. Each belongs to its own price category. P20 Pro is two and a half times the cost of this Nokia. So in its price category, Nokia won the best phone award from EISA. And there is a much fierce competition in sub $400 dollar market than in $900 plus devices.
In the end I can only speak about my experiences with my Nokia 7 Plus.
a) Build Quality: The best I have seen on any phone. It beats even my iPhone 7 Plus in construction quality & overall design.
b) Unique Design: If by design you mean just what you can see with your eyes, then yes then are dozens of phones out there. But my view of design does not limit to the phone surface but goes skin deep; I mean the chassis construction process this phone goes through to provide ultimate build quality. If you are an engineer you will have some idea what I mean to say.
c) Performance: Enough for every day needs and then some. Though I do not play a lot of games, I found very resource intensive games like Asphalt 8 runs butter smooth on this device.
d) OS: The beauty of using a clean stock Android with the Android One program.
After using Nokia 7 Plus for over a year as my daily driver I never faced:
1) Loose charging ports even though I charge every alternate day. The phone just have killer battery backup.
2) Never faced any screen freeze issue.
3) I never found the screen to be dull. The display has a respective brightness of 432 nits which is more than enough for indoor use. With a contrast ratio of 1700:1 you get amazing deep blacks like OLED panels in an IPS LCD display which is an achievement from Nokia for a phone at this price point. Finally with a sunlight contrast ratio: 3.479:1 my Nokia 7 Plus legibility is nearly as good as my iPhone 7 Plus under direct sunlight. I have no complains here.
