Nokia 7.1 review

24 October 2018
They say third time's a charm and indeed HMD did right by Nokia's legacy. Once the behemoth of the whole industry, it deteriorated to oblivion, only to be resurrected by Microsoft, and then fall again. Android One turned out to be the platform for Nokia to thrive once more and the latest Nokia 7.1 is the perfect example of how well things are going.

      Worst mobile phone I have ever used is Nokia 7.1. RAM is not at all effective. Network gets hung frequently. Total misuse of money.

        The piece I bough in end of June 2019 from a reseller in Helsinki Finland, showed the malfunction from the first battery chargeing time - i made numerous attemps to get charger to get connect inside C model USB port, finaly got it to losd. Then in following months, the problem cintinued, and the contct iside charching portv was only created, when the contacting C model connector along cord of charger was upwards bended, as when the phone lied on flat surface.
        Well, end came aabout 3months after buying, when one day no attemp got connection to form inside chargeing port / data transit port. The warranty made possible to send the phone to reselleing company, that then deivered the phone to fixing.
        Phone got fixed, works now, but only waiting for the day tocome, when the same port ailure appears again.
        No, absolutely do not recommend te Nokia 7.1, but more - even the less I recommmend company daresdeliver to phone retailers well knowingly manufacturing defets having pricy smart phones.
        No I shall never buy any HMD Global smart phone never ever again, I see the company as criminal one.

          I took nokia 7.1 6 months back and it's a complete waste of money.
          In 2-3 months itself charging point started showing issues.
          It took hours to charge.
          Poor battery life.

                      Let me start by saying, the Nokia brand is intriguing. I fell for the 7.1's lightweight and perfect size. A beautiful design.
                      I watched most ad hype and purchased a 7.1 from Best Buy.
                      When I first received it it was uncharged out of the box.
                      After charging completely I set it up and all was well. After 2 days of use, I noticed it getting hotter and draining the battery down quicker. Then the screen began to flicker as well. I returned it and procured another one. Different problems with No. 2. Sound was garbled, it had Pie installed and again a flickering screen. Not as often as No. 1. Returned after a week.
                      I decided to wait a while as sometimes foxconn can have a run of bad batches. I contact Nokia USA and they assured me no problems have been recorded by them. Odd.

                      On to No.3 and 4. No.3 was DOA out of the box. I charged it and started it up. This unit also had 9.0 pie installed.
                      Again screen flickering problems and a very dercernable blue hue to the screen with no way to calibrate. Up time was about 6hrs. before needing to charge. Returned after 10 days due to the flickering issue getting worse.
                      BestBuy warned me of excessive returns and I contacted them with regards to these problems. They said they have had a few Nationwide of failures but what I was experiencing was not an issue. The geek squad at one store confirmed the issues. Corporate said to try another store and different serial numbers. I did.
                      On to No.4.
                      By this time I figured I'd have better luck. A new phone fresh out of the box. No flickering. Pie installed. Ran for 12 days before experiencing buggy software problems. That I blame on Google. This unit had a camera defect that when taking video produced a green shadow across the top of the video.
                      I look at the lenses, and one of them appeared to be off center quite a bit. It went back to Best Buy and my saga ended with Nokia. Too bad, I really liked the size and style of this phone. My search continues to find a replacement for it.

                                NOKIA phones... A Finnish company called HMD Global owns the brand now.
                                Those phones are manufactured in TAIWAN, by Foxconn, not the "real" China. A big difference.
