hey guys the Austin Nokia used to be one of the biggest tech companies in the world however after a few dark years of Windows Phone they've actually merged sort of better than ever and they actually have a full lineup of Android phones and some non Android phones but of course the question is why does Nokia exist in 2018 so of course we have to start with the Nokia 3310 now if this looks familiar to you we actually did an entire video on the 3310 pretty recently the sort of gist of it is is that the original 3310 was an absolute legend and this is sort of a modern remake with some updated internals and sort of a more importantly some retro style so sure for a lot of people this is going to be a novelty rather than a phone that you're actually going to want to use everyday however this is only one of a surprisingly large amount of phones that Nokia sells today we're things get a little more interesting is with the Nokia - now this takes a huge step all the way up to running Android and with only a hundred dollar price tag there's a lot to like here ok let's go open and the first thing we see is the phone itself now something that sort of separates this from a lot of other super budget phones is actually going to be the build around back you're going to see it's got a plastic shell over around the actual edges and the frame it's going to be made out of aluminum that makes a surprisingly big difference to the actual feel in the hand it does feel a lot nicer than the hundred dollar price tag would suggest but if we pop off that back panel and what you'll find is not only a pair of SIM card slots but you're also going to be getting microsd expandable 'ti and you can use all three of those at the same time something else you're going to find here is unfortunately an unremovable battery but it's going to be a massive 4100 milliamp hours so that is a very big battery for pretty much any phone for context most Android flagship store somewhere into the 3,500 milliamp hour range when you consider that this is $100 budget phone with hundred dollar budget specs that battery is going to make this thing last forever what you're getting here is a pretty solid five inch 720p display now what's really impressive about this is it actually gets surprisingly bright I mean yeah of course you see $100 phone you're gonna think that it's not going to be super cutting-edge but for most people you're going to be totally fine with this screen no at this point this is all sounding a little bit too good to be true and where things start to fall apart is with the specs so inside this guy's powered by a snap 2:12 processor and that is not exactly going to be fast it is going to be quad-core but it's only going to be using cortex a7 cores which are old-school and very very slow making things a lot worse is the idea this only has one gigabyte of RAM now it's going to be kind of usable that's going to be fine for a lot of things but the issue is that multitasking is pretty much going to be a no-go and apps are going to be constantly being ejected out of the memory the good thing is this is running on Android 7.1.1 nougat and they will be getting an update to Oreo soon and for the most part the software is going to be nice and clean there's really no extra bloat where it's going to be pretty much as you would expect to find on something like a pixel around back it's rocking an 8 megapixel camera now if we take a look here you know what that's actually not going to be that bad I mean it's going to be a little bit low on dynamic range and it's still going to be a touch Saabs $400 what you're getting here is going to be solid build quality pretty crazy battery life at the expense of a little bit of performance however luckily Nokia also has a range of other devices available including the Nokia 6 open this guy up it's immediately apparent that this is going to be a larger phone so this guy oh wow you actually can tell immediately is going to be a little bit more of a premium build so where's the Nokia to have a little bit of plastic on the back how do you actually open this as I was saying the build quality is going to be a little bit more premium here so as opposed to having just an aluminum chassis what we're getting here is a full unibody design with actual aluminum on the back now the only thing that kind of jumps out to me a little bit and honestly that's because I've been looking at so many flagships lately is that the bezels are going to be a little bit large but that does leave room for the actual haptic buttons on the bottom as well as you're going to be getting an earpiece which doubles as a stereo speaker along with well that a little tiny one on the bottom actually doesn't sound that great so you can tell it is using both speakers but it sounds a little bit muffled it's not terrible mind you but it just doesn't sound very clear which is a little bit odd for dual speakers inside you're going to be getting an octa-core Snapdragon 430 processor now in addition to having double the cores of the Nokia 2 they're also going to be cortex a53 based which is going to be significantly faster while still giving you decent battery life now the rest of the specs are going to be with three gigs of RAM as well 64 gigs of storage however one of the only things that's going to start Lee let this phone down is the idea that only has a 3000 milliamp hour battery and with a spread like that it's actually not going to be that bad but is definitely not going to last anywhere near as long as the nokia 2 with its massive four thousand milliamp hour battery however just like little kid 2 we are going to be getting a super-clean build of Android and yet again it's going to be running new get with a future upgrade to Oreo it also is in the same camera app but it actually looks like this is a little bit of a better sensor so as opposed to the 8 megapixel sensor on the nokia 2 this guy is rocking 16 megapixels yeah that's a lot better especially the white balance is much more accurate oh yeah no that is going to be a big big change might not be the greatest camera on a smartphone you've ever seen but for the price I'm not complaining that's actually looking pretty nice it might not be super exciting but this is a fairly decent looking mid-range device especially considering that there's a new version coming out soon might be worth checking out I've got to say no kids actually been doing a pretty good job so far all these phones are decent if not actually pretty solid however the next and the newest phone I had to take a look at today is the Nokia 7 plus so this is a brand new device in Europe it should cost around 400 euros or once it comes to the state summer in the neighborhood of about 450 dollars it'll makes this interesting is that not only doesn't have Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box but it's also going to be an Android one device meaning that's going to get two years of guaranteed Android updates as well as that same fairly stock build of Android that's going to come pre-installed and that's actually something that Nokia is going to be doing across the board with their new phones so everything above the Nokia 2 is going to be Android 1 certified so if you want to make sure that you're going to be getting the latest updates that's actually going to be a big win pop this guy open and we're getting something that should look a lot more modern even though these all look almost identical when you actually whoa this is copper yo that looks really cool I didn't realize so you're looking at it straight on from the back it's mostly black but especially when you flip it over to the side it's got this sort of brushed copper look and that even comes across to little things like around the camera which also has a little Zeiss logo oh man this is this is a really good looking phone I can't get over just how nice this feels in the hand so because it's got that sort of copper Ridge around it it actually does sort of settle really nicely and on top of that what we're going to be getting is a 6 inch 2 with a 18 by 9 aspect ratio so it's not going to be bezel-less but it looks a little bit nicer and we're also going to be getting a full 2160 by 1080 resolution around back you're going to be finding not only the fingerprint sensor but also your dual cameras it's like a lot of higher-end flagships one is going to be the wide-angle camera and one is going to be the telephoto option with a 2x zoom alright so if I take a picture of Ken on the wide-angle camera and then zoom into 2x yeah like most of these the telephoto camera doesn't look quite as nice but it should be available as should be kind of helpful to have especially when you want to get a little bit of a different perspective on things interestingly this also has a 16 megapixel camera up front actually it's going to be higher megapixel than the rear and dude that's not that at all actually there's a little bit of depth of field there to spec wise you're going to be getting something that's going to be basically on par with what you'd expect at the price point a snapdragon 660 that being said it actually does perform pretty well and it is going to be backed up with 4 gigs of RAM as well as 64 gigs of storage so we're going to be getting only a single speaker unlike the dual speaker on the Nokia 6 but thankfully it actually does sound better and even more thankfully this still does have the headphone jack so you know so this guy is going to be rocking a 38 hundred million power cell which while not quite on par with the Nokia 2 is still going to be on the upper end of what you would find on most flagships especially considering these slightly lower end internals in this guy if the Nokia 7 plus does come to the US around $450 it's actually going to be a really hard phone to beat I'm sure you're going to be giving up a little bit of performance but at this kind of price you're getting nice build quality a solid camera good screen I mean really the only thing I can complain about is it doesn't have stereo speakers and even then the speaker itself here sounds pretty good so nokia has seen a massive turnaround and of course some people are going to miss the old Windows Phone days but now that they're making Android devices they're actually doing a really good job of making decent mid-range as well as budget devices that have solid build quality good battery life and just have a nice clean build of Android that's actually going to get updates so should they exist in 2018 yeah of course they should they're doing some really cool stuff I've got to say I'm actually happy that I got to give a good answer on one of these hey guys hope you enjoyed this video if you wanna check out any of this stuff the link will be in the description and I will catch you in the next one
