Nokia 7.1 Full Review & Specs
Nokia 7.1 runs on Android 8.1 Oreo. Like all other Nokia smartphones, Nokia 7.1 comes with a top-notch design and a striking display with full HD support.
According to the company, the device is one of the best mid-range smartphone deals ever.
Below is a quick review of the Nokia 7.1 and its features and performance.
Design and Display
Nokia 7.1 is a beautiful device with premium materials design. The body is made of glass and aluminum. The glass makes up about 85% of the frame while the rest of the body is crafted from a 6000 aluminum series.
The glass surface gives the Nokia 7.1 a glossy look which seems to reflect when light strikes it at a good angle. The smartphone is available in only two colours; Gloss Midnight Blue and Gloss Steel.
The front of the phone is a giant frame featuring a 5.84-inch screen size with a 1080 X 2280 pixel display. The screen size is pretty common in almost all Android devices and nothing to boast about.

The Fingerprint sensor can be found at the back of the phone as a slight circular depression just below the camera system.

Camera
Nokia camera system is something to love. For one, most Nokia smartphones, like Nokia 7.1, come with the premium Zeiss optics, which is one of the best optics for phone cameras.
This well-built smartphone comes with a dual rear camera consisting of a 12MP main shooter with an f/1.8 aperture and a 5MP monochromic black and white camera.
The rear camera can function in sync with the 8MP selfie camera to give a function which Nokia calls “bothies” (obviously derived from “both”). Bothies allows you to take pictures and make videos with the rear and selfie camera at the same time.

Software, Processors and Performance
You have a choice of 3GB or 4GB RAM onboard. However, both variants run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset. The phone is a good performer and allows for quick app launching and switching.
For storage, it comes with a 32GB or 64GB space. This storage space is expandable to up to 400GB to allow you to store as many files as you need.
Battery life
Nokia 7.1 comes with a 3060mAh battery which should give up to 19 hours talk time. The device supports quick charging but does not support wireless charging. The company once remarked that the phone will be able to charge from 0% to 50% in 30 minutes.
