Nokia 7 Plus review: The perfect mid-range smartphone Reviews by Abhishek Baxi May 15, 1.
The Nokia 7 Plus is a well-rounded mid-range smartphone with a very capable specifications sheet, no-frills Android experience, and a good-looking chassis. A couple of months down the track and here is our full Nokia 7 Plus review.
The trusted stock Android experience, combined with a competent specifications sheet makes the Nokia 7 Plus seem well-rounded on paper. With a host of new releases, the Nokia brand is having a resurgence under new custodian HMD Global , generating a lot of consumer attention in the process. Is the Nokia 7 Plus the device to translate that interest into sales?
The Nokia 7 Plus scores high on aesthetics. It exudes class and looks gorgeous. The Nokia 7 Plus features an The rounded edges make the phone nice and comfortable to grip. The camera module protrudes slightly from the back, but the copper trim would likely protect the lenses from picking up scratches. Built from a single block of series aluminum, the Nokia 7 Plus feels solid and well built. Overall, the Nokia 7 Plus is a well-built smartphone that looks more premium than its price would indicate.
It will no doubt have a lot of people gawking in a coffee shop. It is the first device in the Nokia portfolio to adopt the newer trend of taller displays. Overall, the display is pretty good. If you prefer more true-to-life colors, you might find the Nokia 7 Plus slightly oversaturated. Personally, I quite like it. The touch response on the Nokia 7 Plus is perfect and running your thumb across the display while scrolling provides instant feedback.
I get it its not for you but sick of having an option?! Certainly a nice looking phone. Qualcomm released the chipset last year, but the first wave of devices powered by it didn't make it outside of China. HMD has a very powerful card to play. Sometimes, the sound on my bluetooth headset gets cut off when the phone is in my pocket.
The Snapdragon is one of the most powerful SoCs for mid-range smartphones out there, managing flagship-grade performance on a budget by using Kryo cores manufactured with the 14nm FinFET process. What should I do? How do I hard reset my smartphone and completely restore it to the original factory settings?

Nokia's comeback tale has been a success so far, with HMD Global's move to focus on the budget segment paying off handsomely for the brand. The Finnish manufacturer launched a total of six Android phones last year, primarily targeted at markets like China and India, countries where the Nokia name still has a lot of brand cachet.
Four out of the six devices HMD launched last year were budget phones, with the Nokia 8 and Nokia 7 being the exceptions. Of the two, the Nokia 8 was the only device that was available in global markets, but HMD is making amends this year with the Nokia 7 Plus. The phone is the first from HMD to feature an HMD made a few missteps last year — the Nokia 6 had lackluster specs, and the Nokia 8 didn't see much momentum in the high-end segment.
HMD is once again making a strategic play by launching the phone initially in key markets like India. The Moto X4 is the only legitimate contender to the Nokia 7 Plus, but Motorola's track record when it comes to software updates isn't what it used to be, making the X4 a tough sell. It's time to find out if it lives up to the hype. The phone has a similar design up front with the curves around the edges, and the six-layer ceramic coating at the back is akin to what Google has done with its flagship. The white version of the Nokia 7 Plus in particular shares a lot of similarities to the panda Pixel.
That's not to say that HMD hasn't added its own unique touches to the design. The most distinctive design feature of the Nokia 7 Plus is the copper accents around the periphery of the screen, the camera module, power and volume buttons, and the midframe. The copper highlights certainly add flair to the device, and its sheen glints off under sunlight. It definitely makes the Nokia 7 Plus stand out in a sea of unibody aluminum designs.
The Nokia logo is displayed prominently at the back, and to the right of the front camera module. The ceramic coating makes the Nokia 7 Plus very grippy, and the device is built like a tank.
There's a reassuring heft whenever you pick up the phone, and nothing about the device feels cheaply made. Overall, the fit and finish of the Nokia 7 Plus is top-notch, just as you'd expect from a Nokia-branded device.

The latter, however, is beginning to wear off after just two weeks of use. The camera module protrudes from the body, but it is a minor bum and doesn't really affect usability. The fingerprint sensor is a little higher up on the body and slightly above where your index finger usually rests at the back, but the indentation makes it easy to locate.
Rounding out the design, there's a USB-C charging port at the bottom, and a mono speaker is located to its right. The power and volume buttons are on the right-hand side, and the positioning, as well as the tactile feedback, is spot on. You also get a 3. Colors are vibrant, viewing angles are great, and I didn't have any issues reading the content on the screen under harsh sunlight.
There's also an ambient display mode that allows you to preview notifications without switching on the screen. You can also adjust the display scaling options as well as the font size, and you get a blue light filter that can be configured to kick in at a specified time or from sunset to sunrise. There's a double tap to wake the screen option as well. The Nokia 7 Plus is one of the first phones launching globally to feature the Snapdragon — it is the first in India to offer the chipset.
Qualcomm released the chipset last year, but the first wave of devices powered by it didn't make it outside of China. The Snapdragon is notable as it is the first chipset in the 6xx series to feature Qualcomm's custom cores. For instance, the Snapdragon in the Moto X4 has the standard A53 cores that go up to 2.
