Nokia 7 plus goes through the scratch, burn and bend test

Peter, 04 June 2018

HMD has done well to live up to Nokia’s legacy – the new Nokia phones have been built like tanks. Can the Nokia 7 plus join the club? Smartphone boogeyman JerryRigEverything dug into the phone with his usual tools.

The phone uses Gorilla Glass 3 rather than a newer version, but that might actually be a good thing. The back with its “ceramic-feel” coating didn’t stand up so well and was easily scratched with a knife.

But that’s cosmetic damage, the true test is whether the phone will bend. We won’t spoil that for you, click play and find out:

Despite platic body phone did very well. If we compare its price and specs its a still excellent phone worth buy. Any non clumsy guy will buy a good cover also a 5D screen protector or something even better.
