Nokia 7.1 review: A solid $350 phone -- literally

2018-10-13
if you're looking for a smartphone bargain don't discount the Nokia 7.1 for $350 this mid-range device for fall has a pretty good roundup of specs for a price you rarely see in the thicket of super premium phones like the galaxy s 9 and iPhone 10's this is a Hershey's bar not a chocolate truffle this nokia phone gives you a notched 5.8 inch screen and two rear cameras one a 12 megapixel lens and the other a 5 megapixel lens for depth there's also software for taking portrait shots from the front and rear cameras enhanced bokeh mode lets you adjust the amount of background blur in your picture you also get a camera trick called both e mode that lets you split and adjust the screen to capture scenes simultaneously from the front and rear cameras the nokia 7.1 also comes with an 8 megapixel selfie lens the handset itself has a solid feel and clean lines shiny accents cut through the neutral colors which are called gloss teal and midnight blue it looks a little boring to be honest but there you go it will ship with Android 8.1 software at first but is on track to receive its Android Pi upgrade by November although the nokia 7.1 has a glass back there's no wireless charging or robust water resistance and that's okay because it's not something you would expect for a phone in this range you do get faster wired charging however and a rare headphone jack inside is a nice sized 3,600 milliamp battery and a Qualcomm 6:36 chipset that should make the phone up to 40% faster than last year's model globally you'll have your choice of a 32 gigabyte or 64 gigabyte storage option with a micro SD card slot to add more space in the US you'll be able to buy the 64 gigabyte version of the nokia 7.1 from Amazon Best Buy and B&H
