Will Nokia a great revival?
The so -called cheap smartphone that can be bought for 30,000 yen or 40,000 yen is fine, but after all it is cheap.From such a thought, it may be that there are not a few people who can't afford SIM -free smartphones.
But the GIZMODO editorial department is a smartphone "NOKIA 7" released by Nokia..With "1", this is a high -quality cheap smartphone that can be used properly. It seems that you can not hide the surprise.
Nokia 7.1
What is this?: A very recommended cheap smartphone
Price: $ 350 (about 40,000 yen)
Good: Elegant design.Stable perfection.Android One.The camera is good for this price range.There is also a headphone jack.
Unfortunately: Operation carriers are limited.The battery is only average.SIM free model only.Android 9 is planned, but it is still undecided.
Earlier this year, Huawei (Huawei) surpassed Apple and danced to the world's second smartphone maker.This was certainly a big ranking fluctuation, but there are manufacturers that have made a bigger jump -up.Moreover, unlike Huawei, which was unknown until a few years ago, that Nokia, which everyone has heard, is the true identity of that manufacturer!
Although the brand name is famous, Nokia's smartphone in recent years has followed unfortunate development.About two years ago, Nokia returned to Finland, founded by Finnish startup HMD GLOBAL from Microsoft.However, from that point on, it has enhanced its presence and is now in the ranking of the top 10 smartphone manufacturers.New smartphone NOKIA 7.The contribution of 1 seems to be quite expected, and I feel that Nokia is trying to revive.
Nokia 7.1 seems to have all the specifications and functions required in this price range for only $ 350.Qualcomm's Snapdragon 636 processor has given a sufficient performance.
The storage capacity of 64GB on the 4GB RAM is the same specifications as the minimum composition model of the Google smartphone "Pixel 3".Moreover, MicroSD card slots and headphone jacks, which have recently been abolished with high -priced models, are also equipped as standard.
The USB-C port has a monaural speaker equipment on the bottom, but the only disappointment is that waterproof performance is lacking.However, in this price range, there are not many models that have an IP -level waterproof performance.
Although it is a low price, Nokia 7 is never.1 is not a cheap impression.The side is a basic glass body body, and the side is an aluminum processing design.
However, the edge has a diamond cut process, and the contrast with the body color of midnight blue and stainless steel is even luxurious.Compared to cheap smartphones such as "Moto G6" in a similar price range, the perfection of such a design is not so.
Nokia's bright FHD+display supports HDR 10.In other words, if you play videos of YouTube, Netflix, and other services, it looks most beautiful in the same price range.Moreover, even in content that does not support HDR, it has a built -in function that converts more lively images, so you can enjoy beautiful images.
Nokia 7.Unfortunately, in the first display, a smartphone with most notches has an option that can be inconspicuous at that boundary, but no matter where you look, Nokia 7.In 1, there is no specification that makes the notch less noticeable.Nevertheless, there are various useful apps, so it seems that those who are interested in the help of the third party can solve the problem.
On the back is a 12 -megapixel main camera and a 5 -megapixel sub camera, so you can take pictures of deeper effects and beautiful portrait mode.Certainly, comparison with pixel 3 would be terrible, but nokia 7.1 is also eating.In particular, the photos during the day can take stunning things, and the photos of this Christmas tree are at a level that can be confronted with Pixel 3.
Nokia 7.There is a scene of 1 in 1, but pixel 3 is not always perfect.
When it comes to a dark place, the performance of Pixel 3 HDR+is very powerful, but nokia 7.Even 1 is doing well.
Nokia 7.1 is a almost clean Android OS because it participates in Google's Android One program.No extra broutware is pre -installed.Updates and security patches are distributed directly from Google.However, unfortunately, still Nokia 7.The OS of 1 is Android 8.It is still 1.It was scheduled to be upgraded to Android 9 at the end of last month, but Nokia is still waiting for an upgrade time.
The honest impression that I tried for a while is that there is not much criticism.If it was strong, did the battery life have room for improvement?When I conducted a battery consumables test, most smartphones have exceeded 10 hours, but Nokia 7.Only 1 was at the level of 9 hours.
I'm a little worried about Nokia 7, unlike Moto G6..1 is only SIM -free model, and can only be purchased at shops such as Amazon or Best Buy.In addition, since the CDMA network is not supported, it cannot be used in carriers such as Verizon and Sprint.In other words, it means that the user base is limited, and it is not possible to buy a new purchase from the carrier and reduce the initial cost.
Nevertheless, for those who are simply looking for a smartphone at a reasonable price with this perfection, it is wrong to be a Nokia, a nokia that was a mobile phone champion in the late 1990s and early 2000s.Not.With a stable construction, all the necessary functions are all available at $ 350 at the list price before the discount.Isn't this wonderful?
・ Because the notch is outstanding, it is perfect for users who like notches, and can be hidden with a third -party app.
・ As a smartphone that supports HDR 10, it will be in the lowest price category.Even in content that does not support HDR, it has a built -in conversion function that regenerates as a more beautiful video.
・AT&TやT-Mobileなど、GSMネットワークにしか対応していません。
・ It is a very common battery life of a 9 -hour battery.
