Nokia 7.2 Review: Stylish Smartphone with Triple Rear Camera

New Delhi, blissful joy. Ever since HMD Global started making Nokia's smartphones, the company has once again made a strong comeback in the Indian market. The company is not only making budget and high range smartphones, but also in the mid range, the company has launched many of its smartphones. From Nokia 8 to Nokia 7.2, mid-range smartphones are being launched by users. The special thing about Nokia's smartphone is that all the company's smartphones come with stock Android i.e. androidone platform. Because of this, users get all the security updates of Android first. In addition to stock Android, Nokia's smartphones use Zeiss optics, the leading German camera sensor manufacturer.

Nokia 7.2 was first introduced at IFA 2019 held in September. With this, the company also introduced Nokia 6.2, which is also going to be launched in India soon. Nokia 7.2 comes in two storage options 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 64GB. Its base variant can be purchased at a price of Rs 18,599. The phone comes in three color options Cyan Green, Charcoal and Ice. The device we have is Cyan Green, which is quite interactive.

Design

First of all we talk about its design, Nokia's smartphones look better in terms of design than other Chinese or Korean smartphone manufacturers. The reason behind this is its finishing. The look and design of Nokia 7.2 looks similar to the Motorola G7. However, the curved design is not used in it. Its back panel is quite slick and attractive. Ringed triple camera set up is given in the back panel. Horizontally all three cameras have been aligned in this camera set up, so it gives a great look.

Talking about the front panel, its front panel has a display with waterdrop or dew drop notch. The front panel of the phone has a thick chin towards the bottom, which has the Nokia logo on it. The side bezels are quite thin, one side has a dedicated Google Assistance button, while the other side has the volume rockers and power button. The front panel of the phone is exactly the same as the Nokia 4.2, Nokia 3.2 smartphones launched last year. The phone has a 6.39 inch IPS LCD display, which is perfect for streaming HD quality content. The screen resolution of the phone is given 1080 x 2340, which means that you will get a full vision experience.

The weight of the phone is 180 grams, you will not find it too heavy. The side panels of the phone are square, due to which a great grip is available. The screen to body ratio is 83.84 percent, which is due to the chin given in the bottom. The color of the back panel of the phone is quite bright. In this, however, there are smudges (marks), so I will recommend that you keep the phone in the cover so that the phone does not have to be cleaned again and again. The phone provides a premium feel for viewing.

Performance

I will give it the full number in performance as well, because it is a stock Android phone, with this Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset has been used in it. The phone's processor is considered better only when its software supports it. Smartphones with Android One or stock Android are considered better because their software is quite smooth and they function easily. Smartphones with stock Android perform better than any personalized OS. Talking about the chipset of the phone, its speed is 2.2 GHz and it is a cryo 260 quad core processor which is suitable for gaming and multi-tasking.

Anyway, if the smartphone works better in multi-tasking and gaming, then there is no hope for better performance. In the phone, you can access every app smoothly and because of Android One, you will get the latest security updates from time to time. Talking about the battery, a 3,500 mAh lithium ion battery has been used. Even if you use heavy, one day is lost. However, if a more powerful battery were used in it, then there would have been a pulse point for it. USB Type C charging mechanism has been used in the phone. Also, 3.5mm jack has also been used in it.

The camera

Talking about the phone's camera, a triple rear camera has been used in its back panel. LED flash has also been used in the rear panel of the phone. The camera is integrated with Waterdrop Notch for selfie in the phone. A 48-megapixel primary sensor has been used in the back of the phone. 48 megapixels have become a standard for most mid range smartphones launched this year. Apart from the 48-megapixel primary sensor, it also has an 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. You can use the phone for photography. You can call the phone the best in class in terms of camera.

48 megapixel cameras have become common now, but the optics of ZEISS have been used in it which makes it better than other smartphones. Video recording can be done from the phone's camera with a resolution of 3840x2160 @ 30 fps. Features like digital zoom, auto focus, face detection and touch to focus are provided in the phone's camera. It also supports HDR as well. Several modes have been given in the rear camera of the phone, including live focus, portrait and pro modes.

Talking about the selfie camera, it has a 20-megapixel selfie camera. The aperture of selfie camera is given f 2.0, which is better for social media uploading. You can also make high quality video calling from the phone's selfie camera. Apart from this, it can also record videos with a resolution of 1920x1080 @ 30 fps.

Decision

Nokia 7.2 is the latest smartphone of the company, so it is obvious that you get to see the latest features in it. I will recommand this smartphone because you get a well-known company's smartphone in the mid range with better camera quality and performance. As well as stock Android has been used in it. After looking at the look, design, cameras and performance of the phone, it can be called the best in mid range smartphone.
