Nokia 7.1 Review | An HDR-Ready 7 Plus?
We review the Nokia 7.1, the latest Android One smartphone from the Nokia brand – a mid-range mobile packing HDR visuals, and a few surprises.
The Nokia 7 Plus is still a great mid-range mobile and now we have the Nokia 7.1, which you’d think would be an upgrade over that older 7 Plus model. But strangely a lot of the specs have actually taken a step backwards – although impressively, the Nokia 7.1 does boast an HDR-ready screen, for a £300 UK price.
So is the Nokia 7.1 worth getting over the older handset? Here’s my full review, and you can check out our camera feature for a run-down of the photo and video quality.
For an in-depth look at the Android One interface and features, head over to our Nokia 7.1 unboxing. And subscribe for more reviews of the latest mobile tech!
It is horrendous it flickers terribly and is grainy as hell it is disgraceful that they sell this at Ultra HD when it only shows the quality of VGA
Guys the performance got better with software updates now it's on Android p
Watching from a Nokia 7.1 and the performance is actually quite good. Day to day use is handled with aplomb and UI animations are butter smooth. Sure, some apps do take some time to load but the performance is not even close to being as bad as what is described in the video. My handset is running Pie so software updates might have solved some issues.
HDR mode is less shadowing…definitely noticeable!
PS – Android Pie is ready now
Coming from a Blackberry Priv and physical keyboard lover…I LOVE the Nokia 7.1!
hdr only for video or for pics too?? pls make demo
I got mine with Pie update during setup, and the performance has been quite good, much better than I was expecting after reading the reviews. I've played PUBG (some stuttering/lag, but definitely playable) and Shadowgun Legends (buttery smooth on my device), and in normal day-to-day operation I'm not seeing any stuttering. I'm also not seeing of the other issues reported by initial Pie users, like camera noise or wifi issues. Maybe I got lucky, or more likely Pie fixed a lot of the device's early issues.
im waiting for the 8 then ill buy it
Notification bar looks dimmer ?
Great reviews. Just found this channel, cheers from Norway.
Hello brother !! I think u have got the wrong phone. Because if u saw all the Indian and Bangladeshi Videos on the review of " nokia x7/7.1" phone u will clearly understand that here is a big difference between ur phone and their phone . Mainly the "NOTCH". help us out .
sir nokia 6.1 pluse is better or nokia 7.1? everything seems same bt price is diffrnt 200 sar.. which on should i buy?? or hw about 7.1 pluse ?
I don't know. But I would rather pick this over the 7 plus. Meh, I just fell in love with it bwahaha. The camera, the screen and the average processor (once again, I don't know but I'm not power-hungry). And the design, sooo me.
I had to return mine after one day, the processor was just to slow for what I was doing. There was a lot of lagging and stuttering. Other than those issues it is a great phone for the price, just remember to consider the applications your going to run before you decide to purchase. Other than that I would have kept it.
Price
How about re-reviewing after Pie update? I've been hearing it really smoothes out the hickups.
watching on my 7 plus, amazing phone. go for it (and install pixel cam on first day, take your time finding the correct version cuz there are some shitty versions out there).
Para cuándo el Nokia 7.1 plus en el Perú se hace esperar

Google spyware OS + Chinese spyware = no thanks ?
Thanks for yet another great vid SLEEPY CAT! When I eventually work out what to upgrade my Oneplus 5 with, it'll be all down to you. Pressure's on.
Did the 7.1 have more lag than the moto z3 play or the honor 8x? Here in the states, we never got the 7 plus. Could you do a comparison to one or both of the aforementioned phones with the same or comparable chipsets?
Writing this from a Nokia 7.1. The performance is not as bad as he described (I have the 4g 64g version.) There are some stutters, but I'm confident that it will be fixed in software updates
Nokia! Love the design, but feeling short-changed on the specs ?
