Plus, the maker promises “2 years of software upgrades and 3 years of monthly security updates.” However, the phone comes with Android 9 Pie out of the box, with Android 10 hopefully coming sooner rather than later. The phone is part of the Android One program, so it isn’t loaded up with any bloatware. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset powers the experience, and it has a simple stock Android interface. Snapdragon 660 chipset and generally good performance.

(Image credit: TechRadar)Ĭlick here to see the full resolution image Performance and software But the rear camera quality tanks when using this mode. For instance, there’s a nifty Dual-Sight mode that lets you snap or record using the front and rear camera at the same time to create a side-by-side picture/video. It’s when it tries to do more advanced things that its performance gets murky. The 48MP main sensor does especially well in dark settings, boosting shadows to capture detail we can’t see with our own eyes (we’ll spare you the picture of the bathroom cupboard we took to see just how well it works).įor basic functions, the Nokia 7.2 performs great. The selfie camera is crisp and produces some quality results, even in darker conditions. We’re impressed by the cameras in some regards. When it comes to getting the best shots, we find the main rear camera works best while set to 12MP and the front facing camera just works well at its max 20MP resolution. The cameras on the Nokia 7.2 are capable, but confusing and inconsistent. Using PureView, we see a small boost in vibrance, but it’s almost negligible, and is certainly not as stark an improvement as the jump from LCD to OLED. And, Nokia says the device’s display offers a billion shades of color - much higher than the typical 16.7 million. It uses a Pixelworks processor to convert all videos into HDR for its PureDisplay mode. HMD Global (the maker of current Nokia phones) does try to make the best of the situation. LCD panels still look good, but once you’ve gotten used to OLED panels, it’s hard to look back. For some people, that might not matter much, as many budget handsets stick to LCD. It’s both sharp and bright, with clear visibility in daylight. The Nokia 7.2 has a big, 6.3-inch display with a 1,080 x 2,280 resolution. Those colors extend beyond the rear glass of the phone to include the frame as well. It comes in Charcoal, Cyan Green and Ice colors. And, a big bonus, the SIM slot can house two SIM cards and a microSD card.Īltogether, the Nokia 7.2 weighs 180 grams and measures 159.92 x 75.15 x 8.25mm. There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top of the phone. On the bottom of the Nokia 7.2, there’s a USB-C port (only USB 2.0 speeds though), and a narrow speaker grille. There’s a volume rocker above the power button, and a dedicated Google Assistant button on the opposite side. It’s a nifty effect, though could get annoying on a bedside table. The power button lights up with a white LED. The fingerprint sensor sits just below the rear camera ring. There’s a small teardrop notch housing the front-facing camera at the top of the display, while a round camera bump houses the three rear-facing cameras and flash. The Huawei P30 Lite is also worthy competition in markets where its available.
It does have competition from the market of older flagships, though, as something like a Samsung Galaxy S9 on discount could come close to the same price while boasting many superior specs and features. This a phone that should put Motorola on its heels, as it competes well with the Moto G8 Plus.

The Android One experience brings some free cloud storage as well as a pure Android operating system.īeyond that, the design is stellar for the price, and its packing a proper mid-range processor.
It’s also unlocked, so that means carrier freedom. We've reviewed the US model, a version which comes with plenty of storage and room for more with a microSD card. In the UK there currently only seems to be a version with 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM, and that will set you back £249.99.Īustralia has access to the top model with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM for AU$549, while the 64GB/4GB model will be landing exclusively on Telstra in the country at a later date for AU$499. In the US you're looking at paying $349 for a model with 128GB of storage and 4GB of RAM.
The Nokia 7.2 offers a lot for the price, though there are multiple configurations available and at the time of writing they're not all available everywhere.
