Our goal is to create the best possible product, and your thoughts, ideas and suggestions play a major role in helping us identify opportunities to improve. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs.
If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan. Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product.
Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options. Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
You can learn more about how we make money here. When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you. We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service.
However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market. Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.

Battery endurance isn't great Design feels a little plain Lots of competition at this price point. Display Size.
Pixels per inch PPI. Rear camera megapixels. Rear camera aperture size. Front camera megapixels. Front camera aperture size. Physical Dimensions. Network category speed. Power, storage and battery. External storage support.
Device features. Headphone jack. Fingerprint sensor. It's subtle during the day, easy to spot with the phone sat on a desk or sofa, and isn't so blindingly bright it gets distracting at night. There's a dedicated Google Assistant button on the other side, which is a more convenient way to wake it than saying a trigger word.
It doesn't get in the way while you're holding the phone, so isn't easily triggered accidentally. Look at the spec sheet and you'll spot the 7. It might not be able to compete in terms of contrast, or match OLED for deep, inky blacks, but still delivers punchy colours that impress in a budget phone. HDR content has even more pop, with visibly brighter highlights, and Nokia's PureDisplay upscaling gives SDR video a bit more clarity too, although it won't be shaming flagship phones any time soon. You get a x resolution, the same as last year's Nokia 7.
Images and text still look perfectly sharp and detailed, even with your nose pressed against the glass. Brightness is spot on for indoor use, and viewing angles are top notch, but on particularly bright days it can be a bit of a challenge to see things clearly once you step outside. While Google is happy to stick with 12 megapixels and let software to most of the heavy lifting, Nokia is the latest phonemaker to brute force image quality with a high pixel count. The 7.
It's rated IP68 water resistant and dust proof, should survive a fall from 1. However, this is yet another case of reality falling short of specs. The Nokia Flip has two displays, the front is a monochrome 1. The good news is that the update will be rolling out across several device ranges, from flagship devices all the way down to Android Go edition phones. Want more posts like this delivered to your inbox? Android and iOS aren't the only operating systems around. Like the Pixel 3a, the 7.
It also promises Zeiss optics, along with a 20MP front-facing selfie cam. That huge pixel count is a bit misleading, as the camera actually uses pixel binning to snap 12MP images. Feed it plenty of light and you'll get well-exposed and detailed images, but they have a habit of appearing overly-vibrant, with saturation pushed to unnatural levels. Details are heavily sharpened, too. Overall, it takes pictures that are slightly above average for the price, but a long way off a Pixel 3a.
That's also true of the built-in Night mode, which takes its sweet time to take a low-light picture, and can't retain the kind of detail you'd find in a pricier handset. Shots taken with the ultra-wide lens can often end up with a dramatically different colour balance to the main camera, with a noticeable drop in quality and a general softness to each shot that will mean it's best saved for those moments you have no space left to move, but still can't quite fit everything in the frame at once.
The camera app is also sluggish to switch between the main and wide angle lenses.
There are plenty of options to play with in the Portrait mode, which uses the 5MP sensor to calculate depth, but the effects can be rather aggressive - and with no live preview, you've got to snap, review, tweak and snap again if you don't like the result. It's no better at spotting fine details than a purely software-based setup, so it feels like an unnecessary inclusion in a budget phone. Don't expect flagship-level grunt from a phone costing a quarter of the price and you'll get on fine with the Nokia 7.

Don't expect flagship-level grunt from a phone costing a quarter of the price and you'll get on fine with the Nokia 7. Swap YouTube and Twitter for something more demanding, though, and you'll hit the limitations of the budget chipset. Load times are that little bit longer here than they might be on a mid-range phone, and apps will need to reload if you try much multitasking.
It's not enough to make the phone feel underpowered, and the stripped-back version of Android helps keep things flowing smoothly.
It'll even play the latest 3D games, albeit with detail settings slashed to maintain playable frame rates. Now that Nokia has doubled down on Android One, you know what you're getting with the 7. The launcher, settings screen and even the one-button navigation pill are essentially identical to a Pixel phone, with Google Assistant just a swipe or button press away. Only Nokia's PureDisplay screen customisations really stand out as unique, and if you don't want 'em it has no impact on how you use the phone.
