Tough build quality; Latest stock Android

Slow camera; Hybrid SIM slot

Nokia 7 Plus review: Priced at Rs 25,999, this is claimed to be a 'flagship for everyone.' Here's how Nokia 7 Plus performed in our review.

Nokia 7 Plus is perhaps the best smartphone ever made by HMD Global. It's very well made, feels good in the hand, performs well, and has a decent camera on board. If Google ever thought of making a mid-end Pixel smartphone, it would be like the Nokia 7 Plus.

Running out of single-digit numbers in its ever-growing portfolio, the reborn Nokia has started adding words - the high-end Nokia 8 Sirocco is worthy of an iconic moniker from the past, while simpler phones only get a 'plus', with a lowercase 'p' at that!

HMD Global recently launched the Nokia 7 Plus in India, and the smartphone has caught my attention for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, the fact that it doesn't really have any competition at its price point of ₹25,999 , and it looks just, oh so pretty!

HMD Global launched the Nokia 7 Plus along with a range of smartphones in its Android One line-up in India earlier this month. This is the company's first smartphones with 18:9 aspect ratio display.

Solid build quality; Large 6-inch 18:9 screen; Good cameras; Good performance; Stock Android Oreo with Treble; A/B seamless updates

Priced slightly on the higher side; Hybrid Dual SIM might not be preferred by everyone; No notification LED

Right or wrong, whether rose-tinted by selective memory or just fuelled by affection fanned by absence, there is a widespread perception that Nokia always made devices that were solid rather than spectacular and did not charge the earth for them.

Distinct design; Terrific battery life; Stock Android; with promised updates; Generally smooth performance

Cameras not the greatest in low and bright light; No water and dust resistance; Can be seen as "expensive" in some quarters

HMD Global, the company behind the new Nokia branded smartphones, have finally come out with a smartphone that does almost everything. Mid-range smartphones are tricky when it comes to specifications and performance. Some smartphones have a great camera and horrible innards or the other way around.

Great Battery Life; Incredible Camera; Stable Software; Amazing Performance; Value For Money; Beautiful Design

Slow Quick Charging; Bokeh Mode Needs Improvement

Nokia was considered the king of the mobile phones and they ruled for almost a decade till the mobile phone market was finally being invaded by other tech brands. Most of the Nokia models were basic to feature phones, Nokia also had a few high-end models catering to PDAs and alike.

Life has gone full circle for me. I can finally recommend Nokia phones again in good conscience, and that is saying a lot considering the brand was all but dead a couple of years ago. HMD has revived it in the most efficient and graceful of ways and the Nokia 7 Plus is another testament to it.

Design Thanks to the matte ceramic paint and copper accents; the 7 Plus looks and feels very premium; Reception I have had better luck staying connected to spotty WiFi and 4G networks with the 7 Plus than I have with other devices; Software It's Android One: you don't get any bloat or extra apps...

Camera Despite the Zeiss optics and the Pro mode, camera performance is just average; It tends to overexpose images in Auto mode, macro focus is a little overzealous, and HDR is still unpredictable, No water resistance Most smartphones nowadays have some sort of IP rating, but the 7 Plus doesn't.
