This is a fairly common technique even in the mid-range, and it can have some definite benefits when it comes to light balancing and focus for most shots. While it's a touch more pricey, the Google Pixel 3a still stands as our pick of the best of the mid-range, but even competitors such as the realme XT offer more photographic flexibility.
That would have seen it at or near the top of the mid-range camera tree 6 to 12 months ago, but now it's just adequate, rather than exciting.
Adequate is also exactly the word I'd use to describe the Nokia 7. That's a recipe for decent mid-range performance, but again we've seen a bit of a push of late in making more out of mid-range phones than the Nokia 7. That's seen in the way it compares at a benchmark level, at least to some extent. Here's how it compares using Geekbench 5's CPU test.
We've only got a small pool of test phones that have run this test, and it's sadly not comparable to the older Geekbench 4 CPU results. Those benchmarks actually paint a slightly worse picture of the Nokia 7.
For a mid-range phone it's fairly responsive across most apps, and it has the distinct advantage that it's an Android One phone. So what does that mean? Android One phones get their upgrades direct from Google, and they're shipped with a minimum of pre-installed bloatware. This means no annoying ad-filled "free" games you never wanted, no intrusive spyware beyond that which Google wants there, anyway and a guarantee of at least two year's worth of operating system upgrades. While the Nokia 7. That's not a claim that many of its competitors would make, and it does point to potential future gains in performance and maybe even lightly in features depending on what Google puts in Android The mAh sealed battery in the Nokia 7.
With the shift to Geekbench 5, we've had to abandon Geekbench 4's battery test, instead flipping to a YouTube based test, running a full-screen video at maximum brightness with moderate volume for an hour. That gives us a comparative picture of how well a phone manages its battery relative to its competitors. Unfortuanately for the Nokia 7. Here's how it compares:. That's very much the story of the Nokia 7. You'd be best advised to have a charger handy if you've got a big night planned after a day's work to be sure.
It's no surprise that there's no wireless charging on board, as that's still very rare at this price point, but pleasingly it's using the newer USB-C charging standard rather than Micro USB. It's not just HMD Global's output, but the many alternative options you've got at this price point that deliver more than the Nokia 7. There's still plenty of appeal in a cleanly designed Android One phone, and if you're a fan of Nokia's design and products, it's a perfectly acceptable handset — but that's all. If your budget can stretch a little further and you want guaranteed updates, the easy recommendation is the Google Pixel 3A.
If you're after a clean Android experience, for a little less than the cost of the Nokia 7. If you're after a phone with some serious camera chops, albeit one with heavily modified Android OS, consider the realme XT. You could save yourself a chunk of change and step down in price where there's a whole host of options, including the Huawei Y9 Prime To ask a question simply log in via your email or Facebook or create an account.
