Nokia 7.1 review

At $350, this is the phone to beat going into 2019. The design feels significantly above what you pay for it, and it delivers performance that can get pretty close to matching phones double its price. You’ve got a ton of storage (64GB, with a microSD card slot), it has a headphone jack, and the camera’s not bad. The phones that do these things better are going to cost quite a bit more, and in some cases, you’re losing either the headphone jack or microSD card, if not both.

If you want a mid-range phone then the Nokia 7.1 won't disappoint, just don't go expecting the world. It's best to have a good look around at what else is in the same price range especially with all the offers various retailers and operators tend to tout.

It isn’t a powerhouse, to be honest, and there are a bunch of options on the market that are definitely going to get better numbers on benchmark tests, but with the 7.1, HMD Global is yet again focusing on experience rather than specifications, Pair that with the reliable Nokia brand name and you have an interesting recipe on the table

Overall, Nokia 7.1 is an impressive phone, but its battery fails it.

This isn’t a powerful smartphone for the price, but it compensated with a great display and a good camera. In general, one would look out for an all rounding performance rather than a specific set of features. In this case, Nokia 7.1 at this price point, bites the dust.

Overall, the Nokia 7.1 is an impressive device with a gorgeous design and a beautiful display. The display quality is something that makes this a stand out product, thanks to the HDR 10 certification. Although we do feel that the device can perform better in terms of graphics-intensive applications, otherwise the device works smooth as butter. The camera quality could have been better as well, but it still satisfactory if we consider the overall package.

But then, there’s a lot more to a smartphone than just raw hardware. It’s how the design, software, specifications and other elements come together to create a device that works just as good as it feels. And that is how the 7.1 excels. The cherry on top is the stunning HDR10-compliant display, which makes the price tag of Rs 19,999 almost seem justified. So, if that’s exactly the kind of smartphone that tickles your fancy, I have no qualms recommending Nokia 7.1 to you. It’s compact, well-built, and almost guaranteed to be supported with relevant updates for quite a few years

Overall, the Nokia 7.1 is a great phone. My primary reason to like the latest Nokia phones is that they run Android One (pure Android). This phone also has a screen that is really bright during sunlight. The battery is decent and the camera is just fantastic.

With Zeiss lenses for dual cameras, Nokia 7.1 edges out the all-rounder Poco F1 in terms of photography, but falls flat on the performance front. It also has a great HDR10 display and aptX hi-res Bluetooth audio, which makes up for the shortcomings in the performance department. The simple Android One interface makes the Nokia 7.1 a great choice for those who aren't into the latest mobile games, but are looking for a great everyday experience.
