Nokia 7 plus review

20 April 2018
Running out of single-digit numbers in its ever-growing portfolio, the reborn Nokia has started adding words - the high-end Nokia 8 Sirocco is worthy of an iconic moniker from the past, while simpler phones only get a 'plus', with a lowercase 'p' at that! But the Nokia 7 plus isn't looking half-bad - capital 'P' material at least.

"The funny thing is that the Xperia XA2 Ultra with its smallest battery can actually outlast both the Nokia handset and the View 10."

Nothing funny here. SD630 is much more energy efficient, but also twice or more weaker than SD660 or Kirin970.

            eSIM, 21 Apr 2018Essential Phone is $399 in US, same price as Nokia 7 Plus, ... moreEssencial is a no name with no background, no experience, no patents, no researches, no everything behind them. They sold 5000 pieces and one hast to be dumb to pay more then 400 for a device like that. Be logical before posting airy comments

                  In Photo comparison test, Nokia 7 plus camera gives Iphone 8 plus and S9+ run for their money.

                    I was comparing the low light photo and video samples of Nokia 7 Plus with the ones from iPhone X and Galaxy S8/S9, and they seem to be better than the S8 and S9! Check them out once. The camera on this phone is clearly a huge upgrade. And although I agree that the price may seem a bit steep if you think about the processor, you need to remember that the build quality of this phone is as good as any flagship! Only Apple used to makes its flagships from 6000 series aluminium (it has now switched to 7000 series I guess). This phone is both faster and cheaper than Samsung A8+. And you get timely OS updates like Google Pixel. I'm honestly considering this phone but would wait for Nokia 6 review. Currently I have an LG G6 which is a pretty good phone except that the battery life is average.

                        Thanks GSMArena for the review.

                        Screen seems great for an LCD, 1700:1 contrast and 3.5 sunlight legibility.
                        Battery endurance is "only" 87 hours (I expected about 100 hours given the battery size and the 14nm process node chipset), what gives?
                        And yes it's common conclusion among reviews that the dynamic range is rather limited.
                        Anybody fancy porting Google Camera?

                          The camera looks like failure. Display is decent. Battery is not well optimised.

                            sadh, 21 Apr 2018I believe they still have the formula and material for the ... moreNokia maybe has, not sure if HMD does. Although i would never buy phone with Spydroid anyway. And there's about zero chance they will use any other OS. Gimme Symbian. Or MeeGo or Sailfish. Even Tizen would do. IF HMD wants to be NOKIA, not a Googles lapdog, bring back and develop OS'es that were better than Spydroid before getting killed.

                              For 399 euros that cost here, i clearly prefer a flagship of the previous year with better cameras with OIS, faster ROM, etc. Like Mate 10, Zenfone 4 Pro, S7 Edge, or S8 for 40 euros more. For a midrange phone, the Mi Note 3 and the Z18 mini are really good phones for only 230-270 euros with the same specifications and even with bigger ROM and RAM, 6-128 Gb. The Nubias will get Android One later and western LTE bands.

                              Looks like put Nokia on the bezzel and Zeiss on the back cost too much. The color chrome is really aesthetically poor, it does not feel good, although that point may be subjective and relative to my personal tastes, but I see it ugly.

                                'can actually outlast battery life of honor view 10'. Yeah rite when u use non retail european in US T-mobile line and never bother to update the battery life of honor view 10 properly. The AI learn system will improve battery life significantly, Honor view 10 wins hands down for me, better camera quality, flagship spec, 128gb internal with sd card slot and can get for $450 now.

                                  About time they revive the tech.

                                  But i think Nokia is trying to give as much as possible into this phone. Balancing everything, so every aspect is so-so but everything you need is there.

                                      So the telephoto that does not defocus well the background.
                                      The daylight shot even with f1.8 are at iso 100 instead of base value.
                                      Poor job..
