Nokia 7 Plus with Snapdragon 660, 4 GB RAM and Android One launched at MWC 2018

HMD Global, the company that is behind all the Nokia-branded smartphones in the market has launched Nokia 7 Plus at Mobile World Congress 2018 (MWC). The company launched the Nokia 7 Plus along with four other devices, the Nokia 8 Sirocco, **Nokia 6 (2018)** , **Nokia 1** and the **Nokia 8110 Slider**  with VoLTE at its launch event. HMD has priced the device at € 399 which is about Rs 31,804 and will go on sale from April in select markets.

HMD Global has managed to pack some decent hardware on paper in the device including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC with an octa-core CPU and an Adreno 512 GPU for graphics-intensive tasks. In comparison, the Nokia 6 (2018) features a Snapdragon 630 SoC. The 7 Plus packs in a 6.0-inch IPS LCD screen along with FHD+ resolution (1080x2160 pixels) in 18:9 aspect ratio and 403 PPI pixel density. The Nokia 7 Plus will come with 64 GB internal storage with support for a microSD card with up to 256 GB capacity. The company has reduced the RAM to 4 GB instead of the 6 GB that came with the Nokia 7. It sports Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box while the microSD card takes up the second SIM slot. What is interesting is the fact that 7 Plus will be part of Android One program from Google. The reason for this is because HMD Global announced that all its devices including Nokia 3 and above will be the part of Android One program. Another detail that one can easily miss is the fact that the device packs a 3,800 mAh Lithium-Ion battery.

To improve the focus of the dual camera system on the back HMD Global has added a dual pixel phase detection. Selfie lovers will get an image sensor on the front of the smartphone that captures 16 MP images at f/2.0 aperture. Users can also shoot images a 2x optical zoom. Similar to the Nokia 8 (2017) and Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus will also come with Carl Zeiss optics.
