In our review of the smartphone, we noted that the Nokia 7.1 “scores big on display and camera but falls short of its competitors when it comes to performance. The design of the phone makes it a classy looking thing, but the lack of a TPU case in the box is concerning due to the all-glass construction. It's not an all-rounder, but it is great for people looking for a smartphone with a good camera in this budget”. You can read our detailed review here.
