Nokia 7.1 review: a good mid-range smartphone

HMD Global is slowly but surely conquering the phone market. Nokia 6.1, released at the beginning of the year, was considered one of the best smartphones for $300 (20,000 rubles). The new $350 Nokia 7.1 looks and feels like a flagship, with a fantastic HDR-capable screen, performance, Android One OS and capable cameras.

There are plenty of decent phones for the money these days, but Nokia's 7.1 has to be at the top of the list as it's almost the perfect mid-range smartphone. Read the review to see if it has any distinctive features.

Review of the Nokia 7.1 smartphone

HMD Global, which offers the market products under the Nokia brand, is not slowing down. It is already very difficult not to get confused in the extremely expanded model range, currently represented by a large number of a wide variety of models for every taste and budget.

The Nokia 7.1 won't put a big dent in your wallet, but you can't call this smartphone a budget one either. The device belongs to the middle class, where, as you know, the “golden mean” that every thrifty buyer strives to find is hidden. In this segment, the competition is as high as possible, but there are also favorites. Whether the new product can take its rightful place among them and whether it meets the requirements for a balanced product in which decent technical characteristics are adequately combined with a reasonable price, you will find out from the review of the new smartphone called Nokia 7.1.

Appearance and ease of use

The Nokia 7.1 smartphone has a very nice design. Users who are tired of endlessly identical “remnants” will certainly like the flat side edging, which allows you to confidently hold the device in your hand. With this flat side metal frame and two glass panels, the smartphone was reminiscent of the legendary iPhone 4, only, naturally, larger in size.

However, the dimensions of the Nokia 7.1 are not that large by modern standards. The smartphone fits comfortably not only in your hand, but in any pocket of clothing; it is thin and light, not bulky.

The only negative is the glass panels. They are slippery and quite easily soiled - they quickly become covered with fingerprints (but can also be quickly wiped off with a cloth).

A camera that protrudes strongly beyond the surface prevents you from working with a smartphone lying on the table. Whenever you touch the screen, the device sways like a paperweight.

The fingerprint scanner area is slightly recessed, so it is easy to feel blindly. The scanner works accurately, without failures.

There is no LED event indicator installed on the front panel, but the charging status is displayed even when the screen is off in Always On Display mode. True, the screen here is not AMOLED, but IPS, so keeping it on all the time means dooming it to rapid energy consumption. For these reasons, information is displayed on the dark screen only when you touch the screen. The information displayed is standard: clock, missed events, charge, etc.

The side keys are placed conveniently. They are wide, but stick out a little from the body, and besides, they do not differ tactilely, both are equally smooth.

The card slot is hybrid; you can simultaneously install either two Nano-SIM cards, or one memory card and one Nano-SIM. Hot swap supported.

At the bottom end, the USB port is represented by a Type-C connector. The main speaker and conversational microphone are also located here, at the bottom end.

The manufacturer also retained a 3.5 mm headphone output, which is good news.

The Nokia 7.1 comes in two equally attractive colours: a dark blue called 'Indigo' and a dark gray called 'Steel'. In the second option, all elements are outlined not with silver, but with a copper border, this makes the design interesting and completely complete. The smartphone did not receive protection from water and dust.

Screen

Nokia 7.1 is equipped with an IPS display with protective 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3. The screen dimensions are 64 x 134 mm with a diagonal of 5.84 inches, the resolution is 2280 x 1080 (aspect ratio 19:9), which gives a pixel density of about 432 ppi. The width of the frame on the sides is 3.5 mm, the margin at the bottom is 11 mm, and at the top is 4 mm.

A detailed examination using measuring instruments was carried out by the editor of the “Monitors” and “Projectors and TV” sections Alexey Kudryavtsev . Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface that is scratch-resistant. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are no worse than those of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the switched off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Nokia 7.1, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen of the Nokia 7.1 is a little brighter (brightness according to photographs is 117 versus 115 for the Nexus 7). The ghosting of reflected objects in the Nokia 7.1 screen is very weak, this indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS - One Glass Solution type screen). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of intense external illumination, but their repair in the case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be replaced. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating, which is noticeably better in efficiency than that of the Nexus 7, so fingerprints are removed much more easily and appear at a lower speed than in the case of regular glass.

With manual brightness control and when the white field was displayed in full screen, the maximum brightness value was about 490 cd/m², the minimum was 1.9 cd/m². The maximum brightness is high, therefore, given the good anti-glare properties, screen readability even on a sunny day outdoors should be at an acceptable level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. There is automatic brightness adjustment based on the light sensor (it is located to the right of the front speaker slot). In automatic mode, as external lighting conditions change, the screen brightness both increases and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment: with it the user can try to set the desired brightness level in the current conditions. If you do not interfere, then in complete darkness the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 10 cd/m² (normal), in an office illuminated by artificial light (approximately 550 lux) it sets it to 170 cd/m² (suitable), in a very bright environment (corresponds to clear lighting during the day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) increases to 500 cd/m² (which is even slightly higher than with manual adjustment). The default result suited us. We also found out that the brightness can be increased or decreased in different conditions, but it is impossible, for example, to increase it for dark conditions and decrease it for office conditions. It turns out that the auto-brightness function works adequately and, to a limited extent, allows the user to customize their work to individual requirements. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

This smartphone uses an IPS matrix. The microphotographs show a typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without significant color shift even with large viewing deviations from perpendicular to the screen and without inverting shades. For comparison, here are photographs in which identical images are displayed on the screens of Nokia 7.1 and Nexus 7, while the screen brightness is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m², and the color balance on the camera is forcibly switched to 6500 K.

There is a white field perpendicular to the screens:

Note the good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field.

And a test picture:

The colors on the Nokia 7.1 screen are clearly oversaturated, and the color balance varies between screens.

Let us remind you that the photograph cannot serve as a reliable source of information about the quality of color rendering and is provided only for conditional visual illustration. In particular, the pronounced reddish tint of the white and gray fields present in photographs of the smartphone screen is visually absent when viewed from a perpendicular view, which is confirmed by hardware tests using a spectrophotometer. The reason is that the spectral sensitivity of the camera sensor does not exactly match this characteristic of human vision.

Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, but on the Nokia 7.1 the contrast has decreased to a greater extent due to the greater brightening of blacks.

And a white field:

The brightness of the screens at an angle has decreased (by at least 4 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but the Nokia 7.1 screen is still a little brighter. When deviated diagonally, the black field brightens greatly and acquires a reddish tint. The photographs below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same!):

And from another angle:

When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the black field is excellent:

The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high - about 1200:1. The response time for the black-white-black transition is 23 ms (11 ms on + 12 ms off). The transition between halftones of gray 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes a total of 40 ms. The gamma curve, constructed using 32 points with equal intervals based on the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal any blockage in either the highlights or the shadows. The exponent of the approximating power function is 2.19, which is very close to the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve deviates little from the power-law dependence:

We did not detect the presence of dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness in accordance with the nature of the displayed image, which is very good.

The color gamut is wider than sRGB and almost equal to DCI:

Let's look at the spectra:

The spectra of the components are well separated, which results in a wide color gamut. For a consumer device, a wide color gamut is not an advantage, but a disadvantage, since as a result, the colors of images - drawings, photographs and films - oriented to the sRGB space (and these are the vast majority) have an unnatural saturation. This is especially noticeable on recognizable shades, such as skin tones. The result is shown in the photographs above.

The balance of shades on the scale is a compromise, since the color temperature is significantly higher than the standard 6500 K, but the deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) is below 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device (dependencies Without correction in the graphs below). At the same time, color temperature and ΔE change little from hue to hue - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

There is a fancy setting that allows you to reduce the intensity of the blue component.

Marketers came up with an idea about eye strain, but the statement about falling asleep faster is partly true. In principle, bright light can lead to disruption of the circadian rhythm (see the article about the iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch display), but everything can be solved by adjusting the brightness to a comfortable level, and there is absolutely no way to distort the color balance, reducing the contribution of blue sense. However, this setting can be used to correct color balance. So, by moving the slider as far as possible to the left, we got a result labeled as Corr. in the graphs above. True, even with minimal correction, the color temperature is already below the standard 6500 K, the maximum brightness has decreased to 400 cd/m², and such correction did not correct the excessively wide color gamut.

To summarize: the screen has a high maximum brightness and has good anti-glare properties, so the device can be used outdoors even on a sunny summer day without any problems. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. It is also possible to use a mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works quite adequately. Also, the advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, the absence of an air gap in the layers of the screen and flicker, high contrast, excellent uniformity of the black field. The disadvantages are the low stability of black to the deviation of the gaze from perpendicular to the screen plane and excessive color saturation. Nevertheless, taking into account the importance of characteristics for this particular class of devices, the quality of the screen can be considered high.

Cameras

As a front camera, Nokia 7.1 uses one module with a sensor resolution of 8 megapixels and a lens with an f/2.0 aperture. The quality of shooting in good lighting is quite decent: the sensor, of course, is not happy with the wide dynamic range, but the detail and sharpness, as well as color rendition, are normal. When shooting indoors, the quality deteriorates noticeably.

The rear camera consists of two modules. The main one has a sensor with a resolution of 12 megapixels and a lens with an f/1.8 aperture (pixel size 1.25 microns). An additional module with a 5 MP sensor resolution (lens aperture f/2.4) is needed to measure depth of field and blur the background. There is no optical stabilization, the flash is of medium brightness, and PDAF phase detection autofocus with a laser rangefinder is fast and adequate.

The interface is overloaded, many elements are displayed on the central screen, and as many as 8 icons are placed on top at the same time, the meaning of which you still won’t guess until you click each one. There is auto-HDR and a background blur mode. There is no standard option to save pictures in RAW.

The quality of shooting with the main camera is best described as “average”. True, recently budget smartphones like Redmi Note 7 have greatly raised the bar, and perhaps in the future there will be no bad cameras in smartphones at all. But for now, the Nokia 7.1 camera is still an average level: some are worse, some are better. The sharpness across the entire field of the frame is very good here, and although there is a drop towards the edges, it is not that big. The sensor doesn't seem to be very noisy, and a little software processing is enough to ensure that even shadow detail is preserved. Perhaps the worst situation is with night shots: there is no special night mode for stitching together several frames, and without it the picture, as expected, turns out blurry and without details.

The video camera can shoot video in a maximum resolution of 4K at 30 fps, there is no optical stabilization. The camera shoots video well, even at night it does not lack in sharpness and detail, although it makes a lot of noise with multi-colored pixels. But when it comes to shooting on the go, everything is bad; the lack of stabilization has a significant impact. You can switch to shooting 1080p, and electronic stabilization will start working, but the quality will be noticeably worse. The sound is recorded sensitively, and the noise reduction system copes with its role quite well.

Telephone and communications

The Snapdragon 636 chipset theoretically includes an X12 LTE modem, which provides data transfer speeds of up to 600/150 Mbps. However, on the corporate Russian-language website only LTE Cat.6 support is indicated with speeds up to 300/50 Mbit/s. There are no complaints about the smartphone’s operation in wireless networks: within the city limits of the Moscow region, the device behaves confidently, maintains a 4G network, and quickly restores communication after a forced interruption.

Both Wi-Fi bands (2.4 and 5 GHz) are supported, as well as Bluetooth 5.0 and, most importantly, NFC. The NFC module fully works with the My Travel Card application and Troika cards.

The navigation module works with GPS (with A-GPS), Glonass, Galileo and Chinese Beidou. During a cold start, the first satellites are detected within the first tens of seconds, and the positioning accuracy does not cause any complaints. The device has a magnetic compass, which is necessary for the operation of navigation programs.

The phone application supports Smart Dial, that is, while dialing a phone number, a search is immediately carried out by the first letters in contacts. Methods for sorting and displaying contacts are standard for the Android interface.

In conversational dynamics, the voice of a familiar interlocutor is recognizable, and the volume margin is large. Medium power vibration alert. The cards operate in Dual SIM Dual Standby mode, there is only one radio modem.

Software and multimedia

The Nokia 7.1 software platform uses Android OS version 9 with over-the-air (OTA) updates. The latest generation Nokia smartphones are the same in this regard: they are all released under the Android One program on a pure Android OS and do not have their own shells. The interface and settings are completely consistent with pure Android, no changes have been made here. Among the pre-installed applications you can find a full set of Google Apps and a fully functioning Play Store.

In terms of multimedia, the smartphone lacks stars from heaven. The sound of the device both in headphones and through the speaker is average: there are no stereo speakers, the sound is clear, but not bright, without the obvious presence of low frequencies, but there is enough volume, and at the maximum volume level the distortion is not noticeable.

Performance

Nokia 7.1 received the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC as a mobile platform, which has 8 Kryo 260 processor cores with a frequency of up to 1.8 GHz. The Adreno 509 GPU is responsible for graphics processing. The amount of RAM is 3 GB (1.2 GB free), and the built-in flash memory is 32 GB (initially about 22 GB free). There is also a version of the smartphone with a memory capacity of 4/64 GB.

It is possible to expand the memory by installing microSD cards; you can also connect external flash drives in USB OTG mode.

SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 is a good platform from the market leader, but not top-end, and not even upper-mid, but mid-level. In AnTuTu she scores more than 115 thousand points. With Adreno 509 graphics and support for the Vulkan API, the platform can still handle demanding games. In short, at the moment we have no complaints about performance.

Testing in comprehensive tests AnTuTu and GeekBench:

For convenience, we have compiled all the results we obtained when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks into tables. The table usually adds several other devices from different segments, also tested on similar latest versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the obtained dry figures). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison it is impossible to present the results from different versions of benchmarks, so many worthy and relevant models remain “behind the scenes” - due to the fact that they once passed the “obstacle course” on previous versions of test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in gaming tests 3DMark, GFXBenchmark and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark, the most powerful smartphones now have the ability to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (which can cause the speed to rise above 60 fps).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowance for the fact that their results significantly depend on the browser in which they are launched, so the comparison can only be truly correct on the same OS and browsers, and this is possible during testing not always. For Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

AndroBench memory speed test results:

Heat

Below is a thermal image of the rear surface obtained after 15 minutes of fighting with a gorilla in the game Injustice 2 (this test is also used to determine autonomy in 3D games):

Heating is more localized in the upper right part of the device, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat camera, the maximum heating was 45 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), which is significantly higher than the average value in this test for modern smartphones.

Playing video

To test the omnivorous nature of video playback (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Internet. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern options using processor cores alone. Also, you shouldn’t expect a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are summarized in a table.

Further testing of video playback was performed by Alexey Kudryavtsev .

This device apparently does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode for USB Type-C - outputting image and sound to an external device when connected to a USB port - which was discovered using the Tronsmart CTHA1 adapter. Therefore, we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself.

To test the output of video files on the screen of the device itself, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see “Method for testing video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices)”). Screenshots with a shutter speed of 1 s helped determine the nature of the output of frames of video files with various parameters: the resolution varied (1280 by 720 (720p), 1920 by 1080 (1080p) and 3840 by 2160 (4K) pixels) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 fps). In the tests we used the MX Player video player in the “Hardware” mode. The test results are summarized in the table:

Note: If both columns Uniformity and Skips have green ratings, this means that, most likely, when watching films, artifacts caused by uneven alternation and skipping of frames will either not be visible at all, or their number and visibility will not affect comfort viewing. Red marks indicate possible problems with playback of the corresponding files.

According to the criterion of frame output, the quality of playback of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since in most cases frames or groups of frames can (but are not required) be output with uniform alternation of intervals and without skipping frames. When playing video files with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels (1080p), the image of the video file itself is displayed one to one pixel by pixel, exactly at the height of the screen (in landscape orientation) and in true Full HD resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235: all shade gradations are displayed in shadows and highlights, which is required for correct playback of typical video files. Note: this smartphone has support for hardware decoding of H.265 files with a color depth of 10 bits per color, while displaying on the screen is apparently still carried out in 8-bit mode, since there are clearly fewer shade gradations than there should be for 10 -bit output. Display of HDR files is also supported, but the number of shade gradations is reduced.

Battery life

The battery of the smartphone has a capacity of 3060 mAh. The volume is small by today's standards, and the results of testing autonomy were atypical: when reading e-books, the device proved to be a true long-liver, and in modes of watching videos from Youtube and in games, on the contrary, it shows results that are barely satisfactory. Apparently, the problem is in the video accelerator, since when the load on the video part increases, heating and battery consumption immediately increase sharply.

In real life, the device behaves the same way as most modern smartphones: it survives until the evening charge, but you shouldn’t count on more.

Testing has traditionally been done at normal power consumption levels without using power-saving features.

Continuous reading in the Moon+ Reader program (with a standard, light theme) at a minimum comfortable brightness level (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) with auto-scrolling lasted 19.5 hours until the battery was completely discharged, and when continuously watching videos in high quality (720p ) with the same brightness level via a home Wi-Fi network, the device operates for just over 8 hours. In 3D gaming mode, the smartphone can work for 4 hours, depending on the specific game.

From a standard network adapter, the smartphone is charged within 2 hours 15 minutes with an initial current of 2.8 A at a voltage of 6.5 V. Further, these values ​​naturally decrease.

Bottom line

At the time of publication of the article, official Russian retail had slightly reduced the price, but even now Nokia 7.1 is sold, perhaps, a little more expensive than its level. And this level is exactly average, here literally everything is at an average level: good (but no more) cameras, good (ideally average) performance, strange autonomy (in some modes the device works for a long time, in others - not enough), unremarkable sound. The only difference is that the screen is clearly good, but it is not AMOLED (on the other hand, some will find the IPS screen an advantage). The main thing is that all this is available in, say, Huawei P Smart 2020, which is even more powerful in hardware (Kirin 710), and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. Moreover, these opponents do not go beyond the psychological barrier of 15 thousand rubles , and Nokia 7.1 comes out.

Yes, HMD Global is trying to sell its smartphones at a high price these days. But the device itself is generally quite decent, with no visible flaws, for fans of the brand - one of the most balanced smartphones in the entire Nokia line at the moment.

Design and construction

The Nokia 7.1 looks much more expensive than it costs, thanks in large part to its beveled frame, which is made from 6000-series aluminum alloy. The device is comfortable in the hand, and the glass surface on both sides makes it similar to the flagship devices of 2020.

However, besides beauty, the glass surface has no benefit, since the smartphone does not support wireless charging. The slightest fall will damage the glass, so I recommend using a case. On the back of the 7.1 there is a protruding module with two cameras, a fingerprint scanner that works quickly, as well as logos - Nokia and Android One.

The blue Nokia version we tested has silver trim around the edges and around the cameras. This adds to the phone's appeal, but the copper accents on the steel-colored version look more solid. At the top of the case there is a headphone jack, and at the bottom there is a USB Type-C port and a speaker. The power and volume buttons are located on the right edge.

The front of the smartphone is occupied by a 5.84-inch display with a cutout where the earpiece and front camera are located. Nokia 7.1 is one of the company's phones where the notch does not look annoying. It's not too big, so it's less noticeable after using the phone for at least some time. The bottom frame here is wider than we would like, but you quickly get used to it. The size of the gadget is not large, and the aspect ratio of 19:9 makes it convenient to use with one hand.

⇡#Technical characteristics

Great screen

The screen of Nokia 7.1 is covered with Gorilla Glass 3 and has FHD+ 19:9 resolution of 2280×1080 pixels, which is a feature of this phone. The display is bright and clear, although the black level is not deep enough. There are no problems with maximum brightness; the content is viewable even on a bright sunny day. The minimum brightness is ideal for reading at night.

This screen comes with HDR10 support, allowing you to enjoy a wider color gamut and greater contrast when watching HDR content from Netflix or YouTube. The panel also automatically converts standard definition (SD) to HDR, which makes the picture look better. Nokia's 7.1 is a great phone for watching movies and videos.

Nokia 7.1 review: screen

The Nokia 7.1 smartphone has a “tall” 5.84-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 19:9. At the maximum FHD+ resolution (2280x1080 pixels), the pixel density per inch is approximately 432 ppi. The brand name – PureDisplay, in principle, should reflect the ability to “smartly” adapt the screen to bright sunlight and twilight. Support for HDR10 technology (remember, we are talking about a mid-range device, not a flagship!) provides a very high dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, which allows you to reveal image details in both well-lit and dark areas. Powered by the Pixelworks Iris PX8418 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chips, up to 500 million pixels are processed in one second for smooth, accurate HDR video.

The backlight level can be adjusted manually, or rely on automation (the “Adaptive brightness” option). Let us remind you that in Android 9 the adaptive adjustment algorithm has been slightly changed. Manually moving the settings slider changes the operation of the backlight, while the selected preferences are remembered in order to further adjust the screen settings, taking into account the user's habits. “Night mode”, activated according to a schedule, is designed to reduce eye strain. In this case, the yellowish tint of the screen (the intensity of the blue filter) is adjusted independently.

The "Full Frame" option, by setting the background color for the status bar to black, hides the "bangs". Another useful feature allows you to “wake up” the screen with a double tap. Activating the Enhanced Display HDR10 feature allows you to improve the quality of content (real-time SDR-HDR conversion), which actually improves contrast and sharpness for regular photos, videos, and even games. The AntTuTu Tester program recognized up to ten simultaneous clicks on the capacitive screen.

The absence of an LED indicator in Nokia 7.1 is compensated by a gesture -

Simply by taking the smartphone in your hand (after activating the appropriate option), you can see on the screen the time, date, day of the week, battery charge, as well as received notifications. In addition, it is recommended to turn on a similar backlight, reminiscent of the Always On Display option, when new notifications arrive. In the settings it is also easy to change the image scale and font size (there is a separate adjustment for the latter). The 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3.0 protective glass has a fairly high-quality oleophobic coating applied.

Speaker and sound

The new Nokia 7.1 is equipped with a single speaker, which is not placed in the best place (at the bottom) and is covered by your hand when holding the phone in landscape mode. However, the volume and sound quality are impressive.

The manufacturer did not forget about the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Through a quality headset, the sound is great, balanced and clear thanks to support for Nokia OZO audio technology.

⇡#Display and sound

Nokia is especially proud of the display included in the 7.1 model. This is a 5.84-inch IPS matrix with a resolution of 2280 × 1080 pixels, which provides a pixel density of 432 ppi - it is impossible to discern pixelation; films and videos of both 2K and 4K resolutions look very detailed on the screen. But Nokia is proud, of course, not of this, but of its support for the HDR10 standard. This is already par for the course for flagship smartphones, but, firstly, not all, and secondly, here we are talking about a middle-class device.

The HDR10 standard provides extended dynamic range due to increased peak brightness and support for 10-bit color. Moreover, the smartphone can independently convert SDR video into HDR - this does not miraculously transform the picture, but it really does look better.

However, in addition to the “goodies”, HDR10 support also has requirements. They primarily concern peak brightness - it must be at least 1000 cd/m2. Alas, the Nokia 7.1 screen does not reach this value – the maximum measured level was 516 cd/m2, which is remarkable by smartphone standards (it’s comfortable to use a smartphone in any lighting), but to meet the standard, the device is forced to resort to tricks like lowering the overall brightness level of the picture. Video on the Nokia 7.1 is still ultimately more pleasant to watch than on most competitors, but there is no need to talk about full-fledged HDR.

The situation is the same with contrast - ideally there should be no highlights, and black should remain black. Not only in situations with HDR video, but also in any others, of course. The LCD display cannot fully provide this. The Nokia 7.1 has a contrast ratio of 1182:1, which is good for other smartphones with an LCD screen, but incomparable to any OLED.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the dynamic brightness correction mode taking into account external lighting, which all smartphones now have - it is in place here, but it does not work, constantly leaving the screen too dark and forcing you to manually raise the brightness. It’s better to always do this manually on Nokia 7.1.

Nokia 7.1, color temperature. Blue line – Nokia 7.1 performance, dotted line – reference temperature

Nokia 7.1, color gamut. Gray triangle – sRGB coverage, white triangle – Nokia 7.1 coverage

There is no custom color adjustment in Nokia 7.1 - you can rely on the accuracy of the factory settings. And if this was in order in Nokia 7 Plus, then in 7.1 the situation, alas, is different. The average gamma is 2.16 with fairly stable behavior of the curves, everything is fine here. But the color temperature is unreasonably high and ranges from 8,500 K to 10,500 K with a median of approximately 9,500-10,000 K. The color space is approaching DCI-P3, as it should be on a screen with HDR support, but about accuracy there is no need to speak of color rendering: the average deviation DeltaE for the extended Color Checker palette (shades of gray + a wide range of color shades) is 6.86 with a standard of 3. The picture is very cold, the colors are bright, but not too fair.

In theory, Nokia 7.1 has everything for sound - there is a mini-jack in place, and Bluetooth supports the aptX standard, and there is enough power reserve to use headphones on the subway without active noise reduction and not suffer. But in terms of detail and frequency range, the smartphone has nothing to surprise the picky listener - the sound is ordinary. The built-in monaural speaker is located on the bottom edge, to the right of the USB Type-C connector. Also loud and with sufficient quality so as not to disappoint when watching videos from Youtube, for example.

Productivity and Gaming

The Nokia 7.1 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via microSD cards. A version with 3/32 GB of memory is also available.

The smartphone copes with the tasks without any problems, although performance slows down noticeably when several applications are open at the same time. Most games run well on 7.1, but problems arise when running graphics-intensive titles.

In the AnTuTu test, this Nokia is far ahead of its competitors, including the Moto G6 Plus, Moto G6 and even the more expensive Moto Z3 Play.

Nokia 7.1 review: sound

There are no “improvers” for sound in the settings of the new smartphone. Due to the lack of a standard music player, at first you will have to be content with “Play Music”. The “multimedia” speaker on the Nokia 7.1, thanks to a smart amplifier, provided volume, but retained a simple sound, so you should still listen to tracks, for example, from FLAC files through headphones. Fortunately, the 3.5mm audio connector remains in place, and a simple wired headset is included in the package.

The Bluetooth 5.0 interface for wireless headphones provides support for HD audio codecs, including aptX and aptX HD.

System and updates

The Nokia 7.1 runs Android One 8.1 Oreo, but HMD said the smartphone will receive an update to Android 9 Pie by the end of the year. The interface is clean, fast, smooth, and not cluttered with unnecessary apps.

The phone will receive software updates for two years and security patches for three, which is rare for devices in this price range.

Nokia 7.1 review: hardware, performance

The mobile platform for Nokia 7.1 was Qualcomm Snapdragon 636, made in compliance with 14-nm FinFET design standards. The processor here contains eight Kryo 260 computing cores operating at a frequency of up to 1.8 GHz, and is 40% faster than, for example, the Snapdragon 630 in performance. The Adreno 509 graphics accelerator supports Qualcomm TruPallete and EcoPix technologies designed to improve image quality and speed up 3D graphics rendering. In addition, the chip supports “high” displays with FullHD+ resolution, Bluetooth 5.0 and USB 3.1 interfaces, as well as Quick Charge 4 fast charging. In turn, the built-in X12 LTE modem provides data reception at speeds of up to 600 Mbps. Let us remind you that the amount of LPDDR4X RAM for Nokia 7.1 is 3 GB.

Nokia 7.1 testing. Results in the AnTuTu benchmark

Nokia 7.1 testing. Results in the 3DMark benchmark

On the AnTuTu benchmark, the new smartphone, like an average person with ambitions, surpassed the bar of 117 thousand “virtual parrots”. But the gaming potential of Nokia 7.1, judging by the 3DMark results, looks rather pale compared to modern record holders.

The Nokia 7.1 has 32 GB of internal memory of the eMMC 5.1 type, and the storage can be expanded with a microSD/HC/XC memory card up to 400 GB. A second subscriber identification module (nanoSIM format) is also vying for its place in the combined slot. Support for USB-OTG technology allows you, if you have the appropriate adapter to USB Type-C, to connect USB flash drives to the device.

When two subscriber identification modules are installed simultaneously, they operate alternately in DSDS (Dual SIM Dual Standby) mode. In 4G networks, the mobile terminal category Cat.6 (300/50 Mbit/s) is supported. The wireless communications suite also includes Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC.

The NFC interface opens up the possibilities of the Android Pay payment service, and, in addition, by launching the corresponding application, it allows you to be aware of the balance of the Troika transport card.

GPS, GLONASS and BDS satellite systems help with navigation and location determination. Coordination mode over Wi-Fi and cellular networks (A-GPS) is also available.

Nokia 7.1 cameras

Mid-range phones don't often boast good cameras. However, Nokia 7.1 is equipped with Zeiss optics and proves the opposite. The main camera module on the rear panel consists of a main 12-megapixel lens with f/1.8 aperture and an additional 5-megapixel for depth effects.

The 7.1 camera starts up quickly, but there is a noticeable delay when shooting. Photos have accurate colors and, in sufficient lighting, are surprisingly detailed. In low-light conditions, detail suffers and focusing problems arise, although colors remain vibrant and photos don't look noisy.

Portrait mode is available here on both the rear and front 8-megapixel cameras. There's an easy-to-use Pro mode and an HMD Bothie mode that shoots with both the rear and front cameras simultaneously. This allows the user to remain in the frame.

Video shooting up to 2160p at 30 frames per second is available. Unique to Nokia, 360-degree spatial audio recording technology allows you to record videos with surround sound, which is really cool.

Nokia 7.1 has one of the best cameras in this price range. I'm pleased with the quality of the pictures the device produces.

Nokia 7.1 review: design, convenience

The Nokia 7.1 smartphone is made in a recognizable corporate style, so at first glance (especially from the “back”) it is easy to confuse it, for example, with its close “relative” – Nokia 5.1 Plus (our review here).

Generally speaking, the new device boasts quite a flagship “outfit”: the front and rear glass panels are united by an anodized frame made of 6000 series aluminum alloy.

Quite expected after the Nokia 6.1 Plus, there was also a fashionable cutout on the screen of the Nokia 7.1 - “bangs”. Depending on the color of the case (steel or indigo), color accents are made on the chamfers of the frame, the rear photo module, mechanical buttons and the fingerprint scanner platform - silver or copper, respectively. Although the diamond-cut metal-glass “sandwich” looks impressive, it, as always, quickly becomes covered with fingerprints. With overall dimensions of 149.7 x 71.18 x 7.99 (9.14) mm (including the protruding rear photo module), the Nokia 7.1 weighs 160 g.

The device turned out to be relatively compact, while the display occupies about 80% of its front panel. Note that the new smartphone does not even have certification for splash protection.

The Nokia 7.1 screen is covered with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The relatively small “bang” accommodates: a “spoken” speaker, a front camera lens, as well as proximity and light sensors.

At the bottom of the screen we have reserved space for a virtual control panel - one/two or three icons (depending on the current settings). There was even enough space on the “strong-willed”, spacious “chin” to place the Nokia logo.

On the right edge of the case there are equally thin power/lock buttons and a volume rocker, which can be easily distinguished by their length by touch.

The left edge is reserved for a closed slot, where one place in the tray is intended for the subscriber identification module (nanoSIM format), and the other is occupied by either a microSD memory expansion card or a second nanoSIM.

Many will probably breathe a sigh of relief when they learn that there is a USB Type-C connector at the bottom of the Nokia 7.1. True, it only supports the USB 2.0 specification, the maximum transfer speed of which, even theoretically, does not exceed 480 Mbit/s. A decorative grille for the “multimedia” speaker and a hole for the “talk” microphone were assembled around this connector.

The hole for the second microphone and the 3.5 mm connector for an audio headset, as expected, went to the top end.

The glass back panel is decorated with another Nokia logo. From the text at the bottom you can find out that this model was developed by the Finnish company HMD Global and manufactured in China. At the same time, the smartphone was released as part of the Android One program.

At the top of the rear panel, on a small “pedestal,” there are vertically positioned lenses of the main and auxiliary cameras of the rear photo module with a Zeiss mark between them, as well as a 2-tone LED flash. A little lower there was a place for a round capacitive pad for a fingerprint scanner.

The moderately wide and slippery glass body of the Nokia 7.1 feels pleasant in the palm of your hand, but a protective case for it may not be superfluous.

Battery autonomy

Battery life is a weak point of Nokia's 7.1. The 3060 mAh battery capacity is unimpressive by 2020 standards. In most cases, the charge lasts for a day. With intensive use, such as playing games, taking photos, listening to music and watching videos, the phone will need recharging throughout the day.

Luckily, Nokia 7.1 supports fast charging. In 30 minutes the battery is charged to 50%. Despite the glass surface, there is no wireless charging, which is not surprising for a phone at this price.

Nokia 7.1 review: autonomy

The capacity of the non-removable battery installed in Nokia 7.1 is 3,060 mAh. The smartphone comes with an 18-watt AD-18WE device with support for fast charging (5 V/3 A, 9 V/2 A, 12 V/1.5 A), which does not exclude the use, for example, of an adapter compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0/2.0. In half an hour, the smartphone battery can be filled by about half, but to fill it “under the neck” it will take about two hours, even despite the use of fast charging. A set of videos in MP4 format (hardware decoding) and FHD+ quality at full brightness played continuously for 6.2 hours. Not very convincing, although the charge should, in principle, be enough for one day of smartphone operation (without any extra frills, of course).

To increase the autonomy of Nokia 7.1, you can activate automatic switching to power saving mode at the selected battery charge level (from 5% to 75%), and now only the battery icon is highlighted in red.

We also note that Android 9.0 has a new feature - Adaptive Battery, which can remember frequently used applications and limit the operation of little-used programs (to save battery power). However, notifications from disabled programs may arrive with a slight delay.

Price, warranty and alternatives

Nokia 7.1 costs $350 (RUB 21,160). HMD Global offers a standard one-year warranty against manufacturer defects. There are many smartphones in this price range, but 7.1 is the best choice.

The Nokia 6.1 is a $270 (RUB 17,850) alternative with decent performance, acceptable cameras, and good build quality.

The $400 Motorola One also runs Android One, but the performance doesn't match the Nokia 7.1.

Nokia 7.1 design and display

• 5.8″, 19:9, 2280x1080 pixels, 431 ppi
• The maximum brightness is 484 cd/m², and the contrast is 144:1.
• Glass body with Gorilla Glass coating

The smartphone looks high-quality and elegant: it is made in a standard 19:9 format, in an aluminum case with Gorilla Glass coating. The smooth back side seems slippery and unreliable, but the gadget lies confidently in the hand, and in size it is exactly between the Nokia 6 and 7 Plus models. The smartphone can be found in two colors: “indigo” and “steel”.

Nokia 7.1 is equipped with a 5.8-inch display with Full HD+ resolution (2280x1080 pixels), HDR10 support and 100% DCI P3 color space coverage. There is a narrow notch on the screen, but the bezels are still quite thick.

During our tests, we were unable to play HDR content on the smartphone, either through YouTube or Netflix. The smartphone recalculates SDR, but many Android devices with appropriate display characteristics are capable of this. Compared to true HDR content, there are noticeable oversaturated colors, blown white areas, and unnatural hues.

As an experiment, we unchecked HDR and looked at standard RGB images in the gallery, that is, as they usually look on the Internet. Result: Nokia, even with the HDR function deactivated, uses the full color space and displays sRGB images too loudly. However, overall the display is bright and high quality.

Bottom line

The Nokia 7.1 smartphone impresses with its build quality, design and capabilities. Yes, there are some compromises, but the phone offers everything you'd expect from a modern device: uncluttered software, strong performance, capable cameras, a colorful screen, quality sound and a low price. If you need a good and inexpensive phone, 7.1 from Nokia will be a great option.

Is it worth buying?

Undoubtedly. This is the best phone you can buy under $400 (RUR 26,500).

Advantages

• High quality cameras.
• Great display with HDR.
• Good performance.
• Design, excellent build quality.

Flaws

• Average battery life.
• Productivity sometimes suffers.

Nokia 7.1 review: software features

As you know, mobile devices included in the Android One program promptly receive firmware updates for at least two years. This was confirmed, for example, by the fact that during the testing process for Nokia 7.1, a fresh version of the Android 9 (Pie) operating system arrived, which replaced Android 8 (Oreo).

In appearance, the new version of the OS is not too different from the previous ones: in the interface design, with an emphasis on transparency, the color scheme has changed slightly. The application menu with a line of frequently used programs and desktops, the search bar on which has gone down, are still separated here.

The notification and quick settings curtain opens with two swipes: first, notifications and the first six switches appear, and then the brightness adjustment slider and the switch settings field appear. Let us remind you that Android 9, supporting a notch in the screen (“notch”), adapts the placement of icons in the status bar. For example, the clock icon was moved from the right corner to the left.

An additional icon for taking a screenshot has appeared in the shutdown menu of the smartphone. The volume control panel has also changed - the horizontal slider moved from the top of the screen to the right side and became vertical. A separate icon is designed to turn sound on/off and activate vibration. The design theme can now be not only light, but also dark, or selected automatically depending on the wallpaper.

By default, Android 9 uses a different system navigation scheme, based on swipes.

To return to the usual three icons (“triangle”, “circle”, “square”), go to the “Gestures” tab (“Settings” -> “System” -> “Gestures”) and disable the “Touch the Home screen button” function ..."

So, only the virtual Home button remains on the main screen, and a tiny Back icon appears, for example, when entering any application. To view the list of running programs, you need to make a short swipe up from the Home button (about a third of the screen). Below the horizontal carousel of individual recently used app cards is a search bar and program shortcuts for quick access. To close one application, you need to swipe its card up. All programs will close at the same time after tapping on the “Clear all” sign (left edge of the carousel). You can quickly return to the desired application by simply dragging the Home button left or right.

To launch applications in split screen mode, first of all, tap on the program icon on its card in the carousel, and then select the “Split screen” option.

But the page of applications installed on the smartphone is pulled out from below with a long swipe. So, if the swipe continues for more than half the screen, then the classic program menu opens.

Long-pressing the Home button opens Google Assistant, as it did in previous versions of Android.

On the “Gestures” tab, in addition to moving to check notifications, you can activate a number of useful options related, for example, to rejecting calls and quick access to the camera.

In the “Digital Wellbeing” section, it is easy to limit the time you use any application, as well as decide on the “Relaxation” mode.

Using a fingerprint scanner, it is proposed to register up to five fingerprints in order to later use them to unlock the smartphone.

The option to set up facial recognition can be found in the Smart Lock section. Let us remind you that there is absolutely no point in relying on increased security in this case. This is just another convenient way to biometrically unlock your smartphone.

Perhaps the only “non-Google” program, besides “Camera” installed on the Nokia 7.1, was “Support”. It will help you read the user manual and recommended applications, find the nearest service center, etc.

Nokia 7.1

Although the price of 350 euros cannot be called budget, this is how reviewers dubbed the new product, presented in London on October 4. Be that as it may, Nokia 7.1 is the next generation of mid-segment devices from the brand and it is offered with some interesting features.

Options

• Snapdragon 636;
• Battery with 3060mAh;
• 4GB RAM;
• Dual camera with 12 megapixel aperture and five megapixel auxiliary module.

As you can see, there is no need to focus on the characteristics - this is an ordinary representative of the middle segment. But according to the developers, among other things, the gadget has an excellent camera. All thanks to Zeiss optics, which have already been repeatedly used in the company’s now forgotten phones, as well as a two-phase focusing system with the ability to software image stabilization. Interestingly, while shooting video, surround sound recording can be supported, i.e. 360 degree coverage. Nokia 7.1 battery does not have a record capacity, but has support for fast charging.

Despite the fact that the chipset and other hardware characteristics speak of the device as well as possible, sometimes we forget about the software advantages of a particular device. In this case, the developers managed to add HDR support to the image display. This is good news, and besides, according to statistics, two-thirds of all video views come from mobile devices. The PureDisplay function will help you automatically change the brightness and contrast of the display depending on the context and lighting conditions. As for the OS itself, it is represented by the Android One program.

Decor

The device cannot be compared with last year’s predecessor, since it is frameless, albeit conditionally, and also has an eyebrow cutout in the screen. Although the new device still inherited its general features from the Nokia 7: the same strict, laconic design, which cannot be called cheerful, and a similar design of the camera module.

Results

A moderately affordable, conservative smartphone from a once legendary brand is unlikely to go unnoticed by the public. Like previous Android phones, this gadget from the Finnish brand comes with a relatively clean OS, which is guaranteed to be updated over the next two years. Of course, the brand name alone will ensure the popularity of this device, but the feature that allows you to improve the quality of watching video in real time is something even more interesting.

Specifications

Video review:

Poor battery life

• Battery 3060 mAh
• Charging time 2 hours 14 minutes

Unlike the camera, we were disappointed with the battery life. Other Nokia models have always performed much better in this area. Nokia 6, 7 and 8 during tests always reached approximately 10 hours of operation without recharging, and Nokia 7.1 did not last even 8 hours in video playback mode: at the end of the measurement, the clock showed 07 hours 55 minutes. The smartphone also charges slowly: 02 hours 14 minutes. Within 30 minutes of starting charging, the battery will be replenished by 42 percent.

Camera Specifications

The main camera of Nokia 7.1 has a resolution of 12.19 MP, which is not a high figure for 2020 (the average for 2017-2020 is ≈ 18.42 MP).

However, it is worth understanding that not only megapixels are important for a camera, but also the size of the matrix and aperture.

The aperture allows the amount of light that can enter the sensor through the lens. The shutter opening index in the smartphone under review is f/1.8; the lower, the better the pictures taken in low light (evening city, candles, dim light in the room...).

≈ f/1.93

- average of phones 2017-2020.

Among similar models there are options with better indicators, for example:

1. Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4s (2019) - f/1.7, 15.93 MP;
2. Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) (2018) - f/1.7, 15.93 MP;
3. Samsung Wide3 (2018) - f/1.7, 12.98 MP;
4. Samsung Galaxy J7 V 2nd Gen (2018) - f/1.7, 12.98 MP;
5. Samsung Galaxy J7 Top (2018) - f/1.7, 12.98 MP;
6. Samsung Galaxy A40 (2019) - f/1.7, 15.93 MP;
7. Motorola Moto G7 Plus (2019) - f/1.7, 15.93 MP;

The analogs provided above take better photos in low light than the Nokia 7.1.

Don't forget that the device is equipped with a second auxiliary camera, which expands its capabilities and allows you to create artistic effects without post-processing.

Nokia X7 (Nokia 7.1 Plus) specifications known

Reward accrued

This news was written by a site visitor and a reward was awarded for it.

HMD Global introduced a pair of Nokia smartphones this month, but it recently became known that it is not going to stop there. The manufacturer plans to release another device. We are talking about a phone called Nokia X7, which outside of China will be sold as Nokia 7.1 Plus. Today, key information about the upcoming new product has appeared online.

The smartphone will be made in a glass case. In front there will be a Full HD+ screen with a diagonal of 6.18 inches with a huge cutout, which will house a single front camera with a resolution of 20 megapixels. At the top there is a connector for connecting a wired headset, and at the bottom there is an external speaker grille and a USB Type-C port.

Nokia 7.1 Plus will receive a main camera that combines two modules in a vertical orientation with optics from ZEISS. Its resolution will be 12 megapixels + 13 megapixels. The supplier and detailed characteristics of the sensors are not specified. The company decided to reserve the fingerprint scanner built into the screen for the flagship model Nokia 9. At the same time, Nokia 7.1 Plus will be another device with a fingerprint sensor located on the back under the camera platform.

The phone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor with a peak clock frequency of 2.2 GHz. A built-in 128 GB drive will be provided to store user data. The amount of RAM will be 6 GB. Perhaps the model will appear in other modifications.

Among the rest, we can highlight a 3500 mAh battery and the stock version of the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system. In 2020, the smartphone will be updated to Android 9.0 Pie. The dimensions of the device will be 154.8 x 75.8 x 8 mm with a weight of 178 grams.

The presentation of Nokia 7.1 Plus will take place on October 23 this year. The price of the smartphone will be 2,699 yuan, which is equivalent to 26,000 rubles. For the same money you can buy a Samsung Galaxy A8+, and by paying another 1000 rubles - Honor 10 or Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) with a triple camera. Soon sales of Nokia 3.1 Plus and Nokia 7.1 should start on the Russian market. Probably, after them, HMD Global will bring Nokia 7.1 Plus to Russia.
