[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] verID:
This phone is almost perfect.

I came from Blackberry Z30 and there are some things really miss like somethingLED screen, stereo speakers and notification diode. LED screen is a must and I hope Nokia releases something like 7+ with stuff mentioned above in near future.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] Baskettoman:
The white version looks like silk white OP6 on the back.

Nokia has done a tremendous job IMO bringing this design with SD660, 3800mAh battery, Android One (where eligible) and Zeiss optics. At its current price it is unbeatable and already looking like a long term phone.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] magiQx:
I like the phone so far. Have it for a week and so far all is good. Im a bit disappointed by the box contents though. Namely the headphones i received are just a bad joke. I expected more in regards to that. Otherwise im happy.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] K.A.J.L.:
:D i have my nokia 5800 on me so far... 8+ years and phone don't wanna die xD i'm waiting for it, because i wanna buy a phone when i will really need it.)

i'm glad that Nokia made it back... and now I'm thinking about nokia 7 plus/nokia 6.1 plus (on release)/nokia 5.1 plus(on release)/iphone SE or xiaomi Mi A2... it's so hard, when there is Nokia 8 for lower price with better power, and smaller size, or my friend bought galaxy s8 from second hand with lower price than nokia 7 plus... so where to put my money for another long living phone?.) any advice will be considered... i just like the Android One with updates... which don't give us 5 years as apple, but at least smthing.)

Long story short

Pros - build quality, screen quality and size, Cameras (Gcam), Battery life, AndroidOne

Cons - a little big and heavy, i don't like the speed of Snap 660 processor

(Came from Snap 835, but 660 is not even fast!)
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] RoastPorkDinner:
Just got this phone a few days ago for £200 and to be honest, if I'd paid the original £350 asking price, I would be disappointed. But for £200 it's a good, solid bargain price.

People are saying the build quality is excellent, brilliant, beautiful! I'm not feeling that same love. It feels a bit lightweight for the size of the phone, I was expecting something a bit heavier. Having said that, it is a solid construction, it doesn't bend or creak as a plastic phone would, so that's good.

Most of my niggles are to do with Android's Pie, the volume changes have been implemented by someone who drank a bottle of Jack Daniels I think. I really really don't like the way Google keep trying to make us use their 'Ok Google' stuff by taking away the option to to remove the Google search box on the homepage.

After just a couple of days, I've had to swap the launcher so I can get rid of the Google search box, I went with the Evie launcher for anyone that's interested, just because it's a lighter, less complicated launcher but with just enough adjustable funtionallity under the hood to keep you happy. For instance, you can swipe up anywhere on the screen to bring up the app drawer and if you swipe down anywhere on the screen it will bring down the notification panel, very useful for a big phone. The volume 'feature' of Pie is that the volume rockers no longer adjust the ringtone and notification volume, but instead adjust the media volume. some people like this, most people don't. I, like most people, am not a media junky but I do need to adjust my ringtone and notification volumes many times a day. Many, many times a day. This is a consequence of having a job, being an adult and having manners. So now, on top of the extra launcher I've had to install, i've had to install an app to 'fix' the so called volume 'feature' so that I can adjust the ringtone volume instead of the media volume. The app I've used is Button Mapper and it does a fantastic job of cahanging the volume 'feature' back to how it should be and also, it keeps in mind the Pie alteration by having the media volume slider right there on the screen next to the ringtone slider. Fantastic! Why couldn't Google just implement things this way and allow us to choose which sounds are more important to us? Who knows, I suspect Mr J Daniels might know though.

The camera, bleh, it's a tiny, mobile phone camera, who cares? Seriously, in two years you're going to have a different phone with a different camera. Get a decent camera if picture taking is that important to you.

Everyday usage and this is where this phone can shine if you apply similar changes to it as I have outlined above. It doesn't lag anywhere for me and the amount of usage I put upon it, it just does what I need it to do without any jitters or slowdowns, despite the extra software I've had to install.

At £200 I'm happy with it, at £350 I would've been gutted.

Shouldn't this change as you can now unlock your bootloader directly from Nokia? nokia.com/en_int/phones/bootloader

This would definitely change somewhat if you actually could unlock the bootloader for this phone.

You can't unlock the Nokia 7 Plus at this moment though, Nokia only allows unlocking for a limited selection of their phones.

[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] manus31:
Yes.Would love to see some comparisons for this.I hear the sd 660 is as fast as the sd 820 from a few years ago.

Phones generally are too fast Nowadays anyway so Im fine with the speed of the sd 660 on paper.Should be fine for day to day tasks
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] mateusz3112:
I'm thinking about swapping my op3 to Nokia 7plus. Do you think that performance will be at similar level?
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] manus31:
Im actually looking to swap my op3 too.I think performamce will be the same,but not much better. Im probably gonna keep an eye on the op6 to see what price that is before committing to anything.The main advantage to the 7+ is Android One and fast updates.I hear the camera is better than the 5t also.

One thing Im not quite happy with about the 7+ us its design .Its fairly beefy and the nokia branding looks tacky on the front.The op3 is definitely a cooler phone,though I do like the bigger batery on tbe 7+
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] soulaiman:
Actually you're both wrong in a good way :)

The CPU of the Snapdragon 660 SoC is within 5-10% of the Snapdragon 835 depending on the benchmark you run. This can be attributed to the 10% or so lower clockspeed of the big cores.

The GPU is a lot slower than the 835 monster of a chip but it's still the same as a 821 GPU. So yes, it is actually faster in the SoC department. The nand flash will probably be a little bit slower than that of the OP3 but that shouldn't affect you too much.

It's a very good phone and you'll enjoy the experience since the 8.1 firmware they have fixed all the little bugs.

The camera is also very good, especially in daylight. Please note that the OP3 has Optical image stabilization and that maybe you'll miss the AMOLED screen.

But it is a really good phone. And else the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is also the same size and a very good phone with an amazing battery life. The screens are comparable but the Nokia seems to have a little more staurated colours. Brightness is almost the same in auto mode.

The Xiaomi has a bigger battery and lasts much longer but is lighter and feels like a tank. If you're handy flash a stock ROM and it's almost the same experience as the Nokia.

N7+ speed

Antutu Benchmark gives 140000+ overall score, ranks 38 in all phones..
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] MS.:
Snapdragon 660 has Adreno 512 GPU, while Snapdragon 821 has Adreno 530. 530 is almost twice as fast.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] spikypotato:
Coming from OnePlus One, the Nokia 7 Plus does feel a bit snappier. But sometimes I feel that the firmware is still not fully optimized, switching recent apps feels a bit slower and not fluid. However from what I saw in videos showing Android P on Nokia 7 Plus it does look smoother than current Oreo 8.1.

Tl;dr it is snappier than my OnePlus One but not really snappy. Might be fixed in future updates.

You may be able to grab a free google home mini (if it's available) until late June if you want to bite the bullet
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] Magentium:
Micro Bumping. I'm not noticing any lag on this phone (some games do but I blame the game). The phone is super snappy and fast, and is perhaps the fastest phone I've used. I put this down to the stock android as well, because other phones using "Custom Android" almost never run as good as Stock. The Antutu benchmarks mean nothing, it's a phone. As long as it works without lag, it works fine.

Day To Day use : Absolutely amazing. No lag with fingerprint, and the apps load without issues
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] verID:
I have purchased TA - 1062 variant and in terms of speed there is nothing I can be unhapy about. everything is smooth and fast. I have even compared 7+ with some SD835 devices and I was unable to notice any differences. Some sites were loaded faster with 7+ some with others and so were the apps.

8.0. but after a long wait I just received the 8.1 update. Hopefully it addresses the issues.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] K.khiladi:
Yeah. 8.0 in itself was a buggy release from Google (as is usually the case). 8.1 is super smooth but still a few rough edges are present.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] Y45:
I am on 8.1 quite a few rough edges to fix...with animation not smooth in multi tasking..i even got a screen froze...had to lock and unlock the device to unfreeze it...i just hope nokia iron out the issues...
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] Deleted member 5928740:
I guess we just have to wait for a while for Android P. Since it is sure that Nokia 7 Plus will be the first device from Nokia to get the Android P update. Android P looks quite promising in terms of speed and performance with a mix of AI.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] harigavara:
sad to hear this. Now im skeptical to buy this phone
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] k3dar7:
i don't have any problem/lags... but i don't like animation, then have disable it in Developer setting, and feel of UI is super fast...
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] lotap:
Multitasking isn't great. Xiaomi Mi A1 was better in that regard despite worse specs. Nokia lags when switching apps and doesn't hold apps in ram that good. Didn't expect that from a clean Android device. It's not terrible, but could be much better. I hope Nokia will do something about that or else I'll consider switching to OP6.

was having some weird issues with heating on 8.0 but now on 8.1 it runs warm as you expect after playing for a some time
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] dev9163:
Heating while charging

My phone has normal temperatures throughout. Only while charging, it gets hot to around 43 degrees. The max I saw is 46 degrees. The charger shuts off or cuts off the rapid charging without any warning sometimes, as I can see the last full charged time changing on the battery page. This is due to the high temperatures. I have read in the posts online that these temperatures are pretty normal. Does anyone else have similar issue/phenomenon?
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] skarlight:
I'm recently noticing that my phone gets pretty warm even by casually using the phone for instagram or chatting (basically just having the phone screen on for at least 15-20 minutes). Watching videos will always make it pretty warm now (I don't know exact temperatures, but it feels very warm that I can't keep my skin on the phone for very long without feeling uncomfortable). I used to be able to watch videos while charging the phone as well without the phone significantly getting overheated, but now it even warns me with a notification that it's getting overheated and I should stop. I have a screen protector on both the front and back, and it starts coming off the phone solely because of the overheating.

Not sure when did all this start, but not more than a month or two. Im on Pie and the latest security update. Haven't reset my phone in quite a while.

**EDIT:** Adaptive Battery and Adaptive Brightness was turned off as advised for other issues in the forum, but turning them both back on not only did reduce the heat, but the battery drainage is way less now.

[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] yellow_eyed_demon:
GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-V1 is the apk name I downloaded and works fine.

One comment though. Although picture with Pixel camera has more light, it also appears to have more noise. The picture from original camera app is darker, but doesn't have lot of noise (when it is near to complete dark outside).

IMHO, both apps give good result, depending on how you want to see the end result.

[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] zapotek777:
Here are some things that are disappointing me a lot:

1) only the stock camera is capable to use the OZO audio system.

2) Much worse, the port of GCam I am using will not even record a decent mono audio track - - the volume is too low and there is some noise.

3) Stock camera at 1080p has an audio/video out of sync problem. Not much, but it's annoying. GCam doesn't have this issue.

4) Not directly related to video: there is no stock audio recording app being able to use the OZO audio system. Stereo recording with other apps produces artifacts and it's not usable.

One of the reasons I bought this phone was the 3 mics and the advanced audio system, but so far I am not happy with it. I really hope Nokia will address these issues in future updates.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] Dr. lele:
I don't like the 1080p because it's very cropped in (due to EIS). 4k looks very shaky if you don't concentrate on holding your hands very still. Filming while moving looks very jittery. Quality of both video and audio is great though.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] NahuelMS:
For my quality is not good, it have a lot of noise and the EIS is the worst that i have ever seen. Even the gcam EIS makes the videos barely unusable if you are moving. Not even talk about low ligth. My moto x style from 3 yearos ago is at least 10 times better. I am really dissapointed with this thing of the phone.
[Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review] STcraft:
EIS in 1080p mode is forced and no way of turning it off :( (Stock cam app)
