Maybe it's just me, but it often feels like the half-a-dozen devices that HMD have now shipped to smartphone buyers in the years since they took control of the Nokia brand are all beginning to blur into one another.

18:9 display; Great material design and feel-factor

Camera is a little ordinary; Not as good bang-for-buck as Nokia 6

The phone is well designed plus Android One is a great operating system. Additionally the Nokia 7 Plus holds it's battery charge for two days which is impressive, having to previously charge my old phone twice a day.

Pluses: big screen, responsive, phone audio quality is very good, battery life is as advertised. Minuses: head phone jack does not work well, hard to turn off wifi and mobile data.

Nokia, a brand once famous for bringing us hours of fun with a very basic, but weirdly addictive, game called 'snake', are now re-branding themselves as a mobile phone company who are capable of producing smartphones with decent specs and even better prices.

Dual rear cameras; Live bokeh; Pro mode; Useful panorama mode; Good price

Autofocus struggled on occasion; No autofocus when using selfie camera; Camera app is a little clunky and basic (in places; Electronic stabilisation; not optical; Not waterproof

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.

The Nokia 7 Plus is one of the best-value big-screen phones you’ll find. It’s £120 cheaper than the OnePlus 6 and £50 cheaper than the much smaller Honor 10. And they are already value royalty. Are those phones better? If you’re into an ultra slim surround notched look, sure. However, if you want a step up from the Moto G6 Plus without spending £400 or more, the Nokia 7 Plus is the phone to check out.

Great value; Powerful CPU; Looks smart and distinctive; Good for low-light photography;

Camera app has the odd sputter; Camera exposure need to be tamed;

Even if it’s a little predictable, not every purchase needs a twist. Sometimes you want something that works as intended, and the Nokia 7 Plus fits that mold nicely.

Awesome handset with a balance of power and efficiency like the iPhones

6" 18:9 Full HD+ Display; Powerful Snapdragon 660 processor with 16 nano meter technology; Carl-Zeiss lens having F 1.75 and 1.4 micro meter pixel size giving to the point detailing of the clicked images; Nokia Ozo Audio; More number of high quality microphones

Gorilla Glass 5 could have been provided by the manufacturer

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
