The, at the moment, China-exclusive Nokia 7 comes in an aluminum 7000 unibody made in what HMD calls (translated from Chinese) “hot press molding technology” meaning that it features a “thermally formed, vacuum moulded Corning® Gorilla® Glass front and back to deliver a strong, pocketable smartphone with a sleek silhouette.” The Gorilla Glass in question is Gorilla Glass 3. The device carries a 5.2-inch 1080p IPS LCD screen with 423 ppi, Snapdragon 630, 64GB of expandable internal storage, 3000mAh battery, that supports Quick Charge 3 and utilizes USB Type C. HMD opted for 2 configurations of Nokia 7: One with 4GB RAM and one with 6GB RAM. The good thing is they use LPRDDR4 RAM, that is faster than the RAM used on Nokia 6 and below.
“To some people, a smartphone is purely functional, to others it’s a vital luxury accessory, a cannot-live-without partner that reflects so much of their personal style and lifestyle. Nokia 7 is a design-led style-icon that doesn’t compromise on functionality. We’ve packed in our latest innovations, like Dual-Sight, which gave rise to the Bothie phenomenon – a culturally relevant feature that has captured the imaginations of content creators around the world. Unique capabilities and iconic style encapsulate Nokia 7.”

Shanghai, China, 19 October 2017 – HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announced Nokia 7, a compact, design-led smartphone wrapped in 7000 series aluminium chassis with diamond cut bevelled edges. The pocketable beauty has a sleek glass finish including a 3D glass curvature back – the perfect storytelling accessory for style-forward users.
Beautiful, pocketable and compact, the Nokia 7, powered by the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 630 Mobile Platform, is packed with creative tools including; a ZEISS imaging experience with Dual-Sight technology, highly sensitive cameras to capture crisp imagery even in low light conditions and Nokia OZO Audio to record immersive sound.
Harnessing both front and rear cameras simultaneously directly from your camera app, the Dual-Sight technology creates the “Bothie” – a split screen visual for both photos and videos that simultaneously delivers both sides of the story.
With a bright LCD display the result is an amazing visual experience suitable for all conditions. Paired with the latest clean, secure and up-to-date AndroidTM Nougat operating system (upgradeable to Android Oreo), Nokia 7 is the ultimate luxury accessory.
