Key features, specifications

The 6" full-HD+ display will quickly become your go-to screen around the house. If you want to watch and chat, you can split the screen with a gentle tap, and open two 1:1 windows. 

Machined from a solid block of 6000 series aluminium, Nokia 7 plus' subtle curves and ceramic-feel coating bring a great grip and a clean look.

The new device packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 mobile platform and 4 GB of RAM that provide all the power you need, and outstanding 2-day battery life keeps you going.

On the camera front, the 12 MP and 13 MP sensors with ZEISS optics and 2 x optical zoom deliver vivid colours that bring your photos to life. On the other side, the 16 MP front camera with ZEISS optics and great low-light performance takes picture-perfect selfies, day or night. The new Pro Camera mode on the Nokia 7 plus is a quick and easy way to adjust white balance, focus, ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation for extraordinary images in ordinary life.

Backed by a 3800mAh battery to support fast charging, the smartphone runs a stock version of Android 8.0 Oreo, featuring face unlock, Pro Camera mode and AI image suite.

With the launch of Nokia 7 Plus, the Finnish technology firm is making an attempt to re-establish its position in Indian markets, competiting against rivals like Oppo, Xiaomi, OnePlus, even some Samsung phones.
