After releasing a series of teasers, HMD Global, the Home of Nokia phones has released the Nokia X7 smartphone in China today. Like the Nokia X6 and Nokia X5 smartphones, the Nokia X7 also has a notch on top of the display and it sports high-end mid-range hardware. The phone offers dual cameras on the rear side, and underneath, it has the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset, which we saw on other smartphones such as the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE and Vivo NEX. The Nokia X7 also has the PureDisplay technology which the company introduced with the Nokia 7.1; It’s nothing but the display on the X7 supports HDR titles. Furthermore, the Nokia X7 could be launched globally as Nokia 7.1 Plus, same as its predecessors Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus.

Nokia X7: Specifications and Features
The Nokia X7 takes a lot of design cues from the Nokia 7.1. The phone rocks a 6.18-inch Full HD+ display on the front with an aspect ratio of 18.7:9 and PureDisplay support. The display supports HDR titles and has NTSC colour gamut. The phone comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset, clubbed with 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. HMD has added a third slot allowing users to expand storage up to 400GB with a microSD card.
This dual-SIM smartphone comes laden with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and it will receive Android 9 Pie update at a later date. In China, the Nokia X7 runs a custom skin on top of Android 8.1 Oreo, but when it goes global, the phone will be part of Android One programme.
Moving onto the cameras, the HMD Global has added the flagship Sony IMX363 sensor on the rear side which works in tandem with a 13MP secondary sensor. The primary sensor has an aperture of f/1.8 aperture and has Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) support too. HMD did not compromise on the front-facing camera to as the Nokia X7 flaunts a 20MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture. The phone measures 154.8×75.76×7.97mm and weighs 178 grams.
