Nokia 7.1 hands-on review

4 Oct 2018
The Nokia 7.1 may have a dual camera and a tall-aspect screen like the Nokia 7 Plus, but otherwise, the new phone is a thorough update of its predecessor. It adds a faster processor, a bigger HDR-capable PureDisplay, better cameras, better build, modern design while retaining the reasonable price, the wide availability, and the Android One experience.

        Too expensive for the US market. 250$ is a reasonable price for such a specs

          Dan, 05 Oct 2018Yes the 7 Plus is a much superior phone.This is a successor of nokia 7 not 7 plus which has sd 630 so the successor having sd 636 would be an improvement. Besides, nokia is forcing you to buy the phone.

            KAI, 05 Oct 2018Nokia 7.1 has more beautiful body and hac CAT.6 network abi... moreThe back looks almost identical to the X6, and both are glass backs with aluminum frames. The front is also very similar.

            A larger pixel size looks promising. Will wait for the detailed review and samples.

                    Red, 04 Oct 2018Agree. HMD/Nokia shot themselves in the foot with this path... moreYes the 7 Plus is a much superior phone.

                      Nice looking phone for sure. It is so close to the, Nokia X6 (6.1 Plus). Same chip set. So it's probably their global version of it. Could have given it a bump up chip from that. But it is good. I hope one-day manufacturers will do some non glass backs or just partial as all smooth glass backs look greasy quickly.

                        What a beautiful phone. On the back, at least.

                          Brader, 05 Oct 2018You can say downgrade when u compare to previous generation... moreI meant downgrade wrt 7 plus. Most people has compared it with 7 plus and X6, because it is available in their markets, whereas 7 was mostly a china specific phone. You simply didn't got the point.

                                So this is basically a downgraded Nokia 7 plus and almost rebranded/slightly upgraded Nokia X6 at a higher price? No thanks, if I need an SD636, I will go for Nokia X6 or even Xiaomi Redmi Note 6.
                                That is one huge chin btw.
