so Nokia's over here pumping out phones faster than Taylor Swift goes through boyfriends and I'm just trying to catch up with all of them I have a Nokia 7 from a few months ago and a Nokia 7 plus from 2018 that's going to be tested today since I don't need the 7 anymore I'll be giving it away over on my Instagram and I'll explain more about that at the end of this video there's black copper Nokia 7 plus as the one will be durability testing today the entire Nokia lineup have all had some pretty impressive build quality and the aesthetics of this dual camera black copper device is pretty sweet right now the box the phone feels solid and has what feels like smooth plastic on the back but there's only one way to know for sure let's get started the Nokia 7 plus is rocking a 6 inch 18 by 9 aspect ratio for the display which makes it the same dimensions as the Google pixel 2 XL and has Gorilla Glass 3 protecting the surface which means that during the scratch test we get very faint marks at a level 6 and then scratches at a level 7 makes me wonder if the Gorilla Glass 3 was slightly harder than the Gorilla Glass 5 no physical buttons down at the chin of the phone my razor is making no marks on the glass as we move our way up to the 16 megapixel front-facing camera also protected with that same Gorilla Glass 3 the earpiece grille is made from a fine screen like material and sits just below the surface of the glass the screen itself is glued and tight then won't ever be falling out on its own I have to admit that the black and copper coloring of this phone is very eye-catching Nokia says they anodized the aluminum block twice to get the bolt coloring on the sides makes me wonder if the inside of the phone is copper as well the edges are definitely metal you can see the silver aluminum under the anodizing the coloring might come off with a drop or ding the buttons are also metal and we even have a headphone jack up top it's interesting that the premium devices these days are now skipping the jack but the cheaper budget phones are keeping it it's got a metal SD card tray which is nice the oneplus six does not offer expandable memory so that's a bonus for Nakia down here at the bottom we have more copper colored aluminum and a USB C charging port if the seven plus can hold itself together for these last few tests is turning out to be a good phone for the money Nakia claims that Zeiss has done some special stuff with the camera on this phone and that's fine I'll let other youtubers review the actual software I do hardware Netherlands has oh I yes but there is a two times optical zoom which I feel the useful feature to have when you have dual cameras both are protected by glass thankfully Nokia has used plastic camera lenses in the past like on their Nokia 3 the flash is plastic that's fine that's diffused and doesn't need to be optically clear or scratch free the fingerprint scanner is also located on the back directly below the camera lenses and is scratch Abul it does sit slightly recessed below the back panel so it's not totally exposed but either way even with the abuse the fingerprint scanner still functions like normal thumbs up for that so far the nokia 7 plus hadn't given me much to complain about but if I had to pick one thing it would be the way they advertised the back panel material Nokia said the seven-plus received six layers of ceramic feel paint ceramic and paint are two totally different materials one could classify as a premium material and the other one is attempting to use a premium buzzword to make his health seem cooler one is a level 8 on Mohs scale and one is a level 3 you can't really claim one feels like the other when it just isn't my razor blade is a level 5 on Mohs scale of hardness and it was able to draw the white teeth Frater that made the Kessel run in 14 parsecs I mean 12 12 parsecs there probably is six layers of paint though like Nokia said it's pretty thick and you can see a glint of aluminum through the deeper cuts either way it's definitely still in the plastic realm back on the other side of the phone under the Gorilla Glass 3 we have a 1080p IPS LCD and initially after 10 seconds of flame it looks like nothing is happening but once I slid over to the white background we see that the pixels did indeed turn off and stopped working but they are currently in the process of completely recovering unlike an again after duel on Mustafar now the ultimate test of structural integrity the bin test applying pressure to the back yields zero movement and even flipping the phone around and bending it from the front nothing Nakia has seriously produced some of the most sturdy bunch of phones I've ever tested the plastic back panel will never crack in a drop like glass might and it's just overall a very well-built foam I'm impressed I'll still be giving away these sealed Nokia seven on my Instagram just leave a comment on the Millennium Falcon picture I drew during my art class with Jerry and I'll pick one random person in the next few days to send the phone to I'll leave a link for my Instagram in the description thanks to them for watching and I will see you around
