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.

I don't see it as very negative, given how high it places in sunlight legibility and contrast ratio. You get what you pay for with the price.

    These new chips are nowhere near as efficient as manufacturers like to claim. My phone has a last gen SD435 with a 4000mAh battery & I get well over 12 hours browsing. Admittedly it's a 720P screen, but this thing should be eating it alive

                  For all you haters on this phone (looking at you Don Alex and brandstifter), find me another $500 phone that has Bluetooth 5, FM radio, a headphone jack, and USB type C, then we'll talk.

You have nothing but an opinion. Only the stuck android and design and the experience uppon this device is builded are more worthy then all xiaomi together. But i do not get the struggle, what's your problem? You like xiaomi micipoc mic toc mno, oneplus fivehundred, cicopico?. Buy them, who's stoping you? In the meantime, get a gripp. You need it.

                            As I said before 2 months- Xiaomi Mi note 3 is much better smartphone and cost only 300$.Where are Nokia fans now who said that I am wrong?!

                              Cons:
                              - too big
                              - no water protection
                              - locked bootloader
                              Pros:
                              - everything else

                              The first two cons ruin this phone to me. But for somebody who doesn't leave their room it might be an excellent option.

                                It never rcvd a single update and still runs quite well considering its ancient snd 800 soc and puny 2GB RAM. Storage is almost full as well and has no security issues.
                                Updates are good, but these monthly updates are just a cure for tech geeks OCD

                                  A year and half ago I thought the Moto G was a good deal. Probably was, but it looked like a rip off compared to a 120 usd Xperia Z1. Even the much improved Z3 was cheaper than the Moto.

Nope. I wish to keep my phone for at least two years. And your listed phones manufacturers won't support those devices anymore. So options are limited and at this point N7+ seems only choice besides pixel devices.
