Top 5 Amazing Features of Nokia 7

Nokia 7 is the HMD Global’s second smartphone to be advertised as a ‘bothie’ phone similar to Nokia 8. Here are Nokia 7’s  five features you don’t want to miss. 

1. A more premium design

The Nokia 7 has Corning Gorilla glass not only at the front but also on its back part. The company, HMD Global calls this process a ‘3D Glass Thermoforming technology’, bringing smoother touch and feel when using the device. The phone has also undergone thorough processes and sports good materials such as a 7000 series aluminum alloy for the metal frame with diamond cut edges. That’s all tucked under its 5.2-inch display.

2.  ZEISS imaging technology

5.   Good specs tucked under a reasonable price point

The Nokia 7 will be available in two different colors (Gloss Black and Matte White) and it sports decent specs for their prices with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chip on board, along with LTE Cat.6, NFC, IP54 splash resistance, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat on board with a scheduled update to the Oreo version.
