Nokia 7.1 is Now Official: Offers Snapdragon 636 SoC, HDR 10 Display and Zeiss Optics

HMD Global has finally announced the Nokia 7.1 smartphone as a successor to the Nokia 7 that was launched last year with Snapdragon 630 chipset. The Nokia 7.1 is the first smartphone under HMD’s portfolio to offer a PureDisplay with HDR 10 support. Other highlight features inside the smartphone include Snapdragon 636 chipset, dual rear cameras with Zeiss optics and of course, it’s part of Android One programme, which means faster software updates. HMD promised that the Nokia 7.1 would receive Android 9 Pie update in November this year. Right now, the phone has been launched in European markets, but the company could launch the Nokia 7.1 at its scheduled event in India on October 11.

Nokia 7.1: Specifications and Features

The Nokia 7.1 features a similar design as the Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus. The phone has a glass back and has a 6000-series aluminium frame constructed out of a single aluminium block. The phone weighs 159 grams which is largely due to the smaller battery of 3060mAh battery we get inside the phone. The Nokia 7.1 rocks a 5.84-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with 19:9 aspect ratio and 2280x1080p resolution.

The display on the Nokia 7.1 takes a special mention as it’s the first smartphone under HMD’s portfolio to come with PureDisplay screen technology. This essentially means that the Nokia 7.1 supports HDR content. With YouTube now supporting HDR content as well, this move from HMD will appeal to a lot of consumers out there.
