Specifications

Software

edit

As the Nokia 7 Plus is an Android One device, it runs a near-stock version of the Android operating system.[9] It was originally shipped with Android 8.0 Oreo;[10] however, an update to Android 8.1 Oreo was released soon after for the device.[10][11]

On 8 May 2018, it was announced that the Nokia 7 Plus would be one of seven non-Google smartphones to receive the Android Pie beta.[12] On 28 September 2018, the Android Pie update started to roll out to the Nokia 7 Plus in phases, starting in India,[13] and on 30 November 2018 in China.[14]

On 7 January 2020, Android 10 started being rolled out on the Nokia 7 Plus.[15]

Hardware

edit

The Nokia 7 Plus has a 6 inch (152mm) LTPS IPS LCD display, Octa-core (4x2.2 GHz Kryo 260 & 4x1.8 GHz Kryo 260) Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage that can be expanded using microSD cards up to 256 GB. The phone has a 3800 mAh Li-ion battery, 13 MP rear camera with LED flash and 16 MP front-facing camera with auto-focus. It is available in Tempered Black/Copper, White/Copper colors. The phone is designed from a single block of 6000 series aluminium.[16]

As with other mid-range and top-range phones from Nokia, the Nokia 7 Plus features exclusive rear camera optics licensed from ZEISS.[17]

The NFC-area on the back of the phone is both smaller and weaker than comparable phones. The NFC area can be found to the left of the camera housing.[18]

The development of Nokia 7 Plus began as early as 2017 and by 31 December of the same year it was ready for release.

Reception

edit

Reviews of the Nokia 7 Plus have been generally positive.

Critics have praised its large display, battery life, and Android One software.[19] Its design and build quality have also been praised. One reviewer called it the most promising Nokia smartphone "in years".[20][21]

Android Central praised its camera as being "one of the best" in its $400 price category, and added that the 7 Plus is "one of the best phones of the year".[11] At the same time, the phone's slow camera processing speed was criticised.[22]

Controversies

edit

In March 2019, a report by Norwegian state broadcaster NRK found that some Nokia 7 Plus phones sent sensitive unencrypted personal information (including location and serial number) to a domain name controlled by China Telecom, every time the device was booted, and multiple times thereafter. HMD responded to the allegations, stating that carrier activation software intended for a different market was accidentally included in a batch of the devices, but that only "activation data" that could not be used to identify a user was sent and not processed, and that this error was fixed by the February 2019 software patch. Finnish authorities are investigating this as a violation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).[23][24][25]
