The 7plus is sure chomping at my mind for my next phone but being a speaker lover I wish Nokia would adopt front facing stereo speakers in their line of at least mid range phones. Most of us are mid range buyers anyway and I can only bet Nokia would draw many more customers with some nice speakers, since we do have to submit to less high end chipsets and storage etc. Come on Nokia.
Watching on my new Nokia 7 plus, its the perfect phone
Hello there iam looking to get the plus 7 can this phone be wireless charged as I've heard the night mares of dodgy charging ports cheers from Shropshire
275€ for a new 8 Sirocco… What alse???
Nokia 7 Plus
I picked up this mobile after a lot of research.
Features:
(1) Stock Android One (Comes with Oreo 8.1 upgradeable to Pie and Android Q)
(2) Two-day 3800 mAh battery (Support for QC 3.0)
(3) Superb Cameras with lotz of advanced options. Bothie, Selfie, PIP and live streaming to Fb & Youtube.
(4) 18:9 FHD+ 6" display which looks bright & is easily legible even in bright sunlight.
(5) Fast & energy-efficient Snapdragon 660 CPU.
(6) 64Gb ROM & 4Gb of LPDDR4x fast RAM.
(7) Premium build- quality with a single block of Series 6000 Aluminium. Designed to last for years.
(8) Other Features: Loud audio, Dual-Sim, Dual-4G expandable storage, Fast charging 3.0, Gesture Controls, Face Unlock, USB Type-C, OTG Support, 3.5mm, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, GPS, GLONASS, NFC etc. etc.
Desirable features which would have made it the Killer, all-time Greatest handset:
– No FM radio
– No Dedicated SD-Card slot
– No Notification light
– No Dust/Water-proof (IP67)
– No Wireless charging
– No Stereo Speakers
– No Notch (good for many).
You cannot expect a mid-range model to have all the features though. So this has the most BANG! for your Bucks.
How in earth u comper a flagship with alomst flagship .. sorry but nooo
I have Nokia 6 (2017). Do I need to change?
I wanna get him naked!!!
I went the other way and got the nokia 8. its brilliant.
Thank you for your comparison? Which one has wider screen? I mean bigger width. I'm wonder if 18:9 ratio is nicer to watch videos.
Which one is better? Nokia 7plus or Nokia 8 Sirocco
This guy is a hybrid version of Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon!!
Good quality with affordable price ?? great camera,battery last long!! Love my nokia 7+ made the right choice ?
please can you do a comparison between Nokia 8 sirocco and Nokia 7 because they look quite similar
I have nokia 7 plus but i dont like the camera
Nice one. 7 plus is still my favourite
Such a beautiful device… Nokia 8 Sirocco… I dont understand why we have always have to sacrifice for SD card slots and headphone jacks in such flagships… Seriously its a heck of a problem in every smartphone brand these days… Nokia plzz… Be more of a something different… We believe in u… Bring SD card slots and headphone jacks back for God sake
Nokia 8 Sirocco has a zoom lens where 7+ has not, 8 sirocco has OLED screen where 7+ is IPS. Also I prefer 16:9 over 18:9.
Was waiting for a flagship Nokia to replace my note 5 but the Sirocco doesn't catch my attention. If it was more similar to the lumia 950xl with Android one id be all over it
No headphone jack?
Nokia 7plus is much better. Specially the price!
Stainless steel block?
Lower megapixels doesn't equate worse camera. The Nokia 8 Sirocco has far larger pixels (1.4 µm) in the selfie camera, meaning it's more low-light capable than the Nokia 7 Plus selfie-camera (1.0 µm).
Personally I also greatly prefer the 16:9 aspect ratio over the 2:1. YouTube is 16:9, TV-series are 16:9 and web-pages are easier to browse in a more squarish format, as you can see on productivity tablets from Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft (using 3:2 or even 4:3 aspect ratios).
Do your research for god's sake.. the 7 plus is IP54 rated …
Bro my Nokia 7 plus screen getting frozen
I mean it's not responding and if I lock and unlock it then it get working again
Please help me bro for solving this issue
I’m getting the Nokia 7 plus from carphone warehouse for £349 sim free is so nice and is got headphone jack I won’t buy any smartphone without a headphone jack cheers peace.

Mi 8 SE with snapdragon 710 & Adreno 616 GPU is cheaper than Nokia 7+.
No notification LED, bummer.
Make a GiveAway of Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 8 Sirocco.

But it does not matter.
7 plus looks better for normal use
??
Nokia 7 plus
do nokia still make phones oh they do
Just ordered my Nokia 7 plus! Should have it next week. ?
I was using Nokia Lumia 730 until now and as Microsoft abandoned the platform i wanted to switch to a good device, so thought of buying Nokia Android devices and i was so confused between Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco. I liked Nokia 7 Plus design as it looked like a Pixel device, Nokia 8 got really cheaper and had really good specs like front cam can shoot 4k videos and it had OIS and monochrome camera for portrait and good night shots, Nokia 8 Sirocco felt like a beast and something new and better looking than these both phones but it is kinda a downgrade compared to Nokia 8 as it had no OIS, no 4k recording on front camera and 5mp compared to 13mp on Nokia 8, no second sim slot or sd card expansion option which was present in Nokia 8 and Nokia 7 Plus, so dropped the plan to buy Nokia 8 Sirocco and then got confused between Nokia 8 and Nokia 7 plus, so comparing the specs and the features and the 50 Dollar difference between both phones made me buy Nokia 8, I am happy with it so far but always thought only if Nokia 8 sirocco had same specs as Nokia 8 but with improved cameras i wouldve bought it eyes closed.
Dude, your pecs distract from the phones ?
Thanks @adam sinicki 🙂
Such a beautiful hometown
