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.

No MIRACAST for all Nokia phone,
very bad news,

    Klej, 21 Apr 2018Pure android is very stable and bug free, give your head a ... moreYou should know about the Mi A1, the times when it was launched in the market and took its hype, updates were a big thumbs down as it couldn't optimize battery and resolve various bug issues. Let me remind you, it was GOOGLE's own project. MOTO another joke.

          I also would pick the 7 Plus over the 8 for the same reason.

            I don't understand how this can score only 3.8/5.

            The Nokia 8 scored 4.6. Sure, the 7+ is being released six months later, in fact the review was done eight months later; and the 8 has the edge in some areas. I'd choose the 7+ in a heartbeat though (camera, build, much larger screen in a slightly bigger body, larger battery, likely an extra major android update).

            Maybe the rating places too much emphasis on benchmarks and not enough on software updates?

              Nokia 8 or Nokia 7 plus? Compare battery, performance and camera. Considering that the price may drop in a few months although both are equally priced right now. I'm thinking of buying the phone in this price range for 2 to 3 year usage in about 2or 3 months.

                Design = Copycat

                  AnonD-145316, 25 Apr 2018And the design was bad to you?? You need to check your opti... moreYes, I don't like the copper accents. But if you and most people like them, that's totally fine. It doesn't mean that everybody has to. And you don't have to disparage dissenting opinion and thrash talk people who disagree. Fyi, my eyesight is fine, thanks for caring.

There are many YouTube reviews out there which praise the craftmanship of Nokia 7 plus and any person that looks at 7 plus can confirm the copper accents are actually mind blowing!! Your opinion is just hate we know your type, so just take a chill pill hate is not good for your health bro!!

                              this is one of the best phone for camera, gonna buy it

                                AnonD-145316, 25 Apr 2018One question for you, do you own the phone?? If not shut up!!Why the heck would I own the phone given my opinion of it? And you're saying people can only criticize phones that they own? If that's the case, I'd guess over 99.9% of the negatives comments about any phone on this website should be deleted. In sum, I say you shut up.

                                    My wish: Nokia would give software update that optimize it more, up to the level of Samsung A9 (2016). That would be awesome

                                      Those copper accents look horrible IMO. And the sharp edges make it a bit hard to hold. Not to mention big size & heavy weight. No thanks.

                                        LLL, 24 Apr 2018Hi, thanks for the reply. Some interesting information ther... moreOhh yes i forgot SD 650 was a hexa core ,

                                        It depends how the governor uses CPU , most uses on demand governer , so when doing web browsing it will at first peak to full speed and after page has loaded and the javascript load is reduced it will downclock itself.. You can download cpuz and check in your phone also it shows current clock speed

                                        Super Amoled should be efficient during video playback , whereas LCD should have an edge during web browsing ..

                                        Then there is sd 660 which is not based on stock arm cores but instead uses semi custom Kyro cores has a better modem and other things .. So hard to make direct comparison .. What changes were made to the core.. My guess is efficiency gains have been utilized to get more performance out of gpu instead of cpu..

                                        Rn5 pro has a 5.5 inch screen with slightly bigger battery and 7 plus has 6 inches , so I think power consumption of both would be rougly similar .. Then there are other things like software which in case of redmi note 3 if you check gsmarena mentions that it had a power saver mode that was always on .. So that can affect results as well.. We can only get a rough idea with so many variables and without somebody doing proper testing

                                        But I don't think there is anything wrong with Nokia 7 plus , oppo r15 pro also have similar battery life if you take account into differences
