The Nokia 7.2 is a Nokia branded Android smartphone announced on 6 September at IFA 2019. At launch, prices started at $349 (£249) for the cheapest model.[1][2][3]
Notable Changes from Nokia 7.1[]
The Nokia 7.2 has three rear cameras, including a 0.6x zoom ultrawide camera, and one front camera. The main rear camera is a 48 MP camera that is set to 12 MP by default. This makes it a better Nokia-branded camera, in terms of megapixels, over the Nokia 808 PureView and Lumia 1020.[4] A dedicated night mode camera has been introduced which claims to "helps improve low-light photography".[5] The Nokia 7.2 has a larger screen than the 7.1, 99.1 cm² (6.3") up from 85.1 cm² (5.84"). The display has a smaller chin and bezels, along with a thinner dewdrop notch at the top.[6][7] The 7.2 is heavier and weights 180g compared to 160g of Nokia 7.1.[6] The addition of Nokia Face ID, made by Truly Secure, has also been added to the software of the 7.2.[8] Another change on the exterior of the phone is the addition of a dedicated Google Assistant button on the left of the phone which can be pressed to quickly activate the Google Assistant or held and released for the Google Assistant to start and stop listening. It can also be re-mapped in settings to open an app of your choice.[9][10] The 7.2 has a more powerful SoC, the Snapdragon 660, rather than 636.[11] The 7.2 comes with a 3500 mAh battery, while the 7.1 has 3060 mAh. However the 7.2 doesn't support fast charging and the phone charges at 10 Watts instead of 18.[12][11][13][14] Expandable storage has increased from 400 to 512 GB.
Differences between Nokia 7.2 and 6.2[]
Although the Nokia 7.2 and 6.2 are very similar phones and almost identical in appearance,[15] there are a few differences between them. The biggest difference is in the cameras. The main rear camera and front camera are both higher in the megapixel count in the 7.2 compared to the 6.2 (48 MP to 16 MP, and 20 MP to 8 MP, respectively).[15][16] Unlike the 6.2, the camera app on the 7.2 has Zeiss branded effects that aim to replicate the effects you get from Zeiss lenses. Finally, the Nokia 7.2 claims to take better low-light photos.[16] A combination of all these factors mean the cameras on the Nokia 7.2 are better.[16] The other major difference between them is the internals. The 7.2 comes with the more powerful Snapdragon 660 (rather than 636) and comes with 4-6 GB RAM instead of 3-4 GB. The storage also starts at 64 GB rather than 32. The Nokia 7.2 comes in Charcoal, Cyan Green, and Ice while the Nokia 6.2 comes in Ceramic Black and Ice.
Models[]
The global version of the phone comes in 3 models: 4 GB RAM with 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM with 64 GB storage, and 6 GB RAM with 128 GB storage.[17] The Chilean version of the Nokia 7.2 (TA-1178) comes with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.[18]
Reception[]
Reviews for the Nokia 7.2 are mostly positive.
The Verge said the Nokia 7.2 is "competent and almost as good as the [Google] Pixel 3A", they say it's Nokia's "most confident creation yet" and gave it a score of 7/10.[10]
Digital Trends said, "the Nokia 7.2 is a beautiful package, from smooth curves and a matte glass texture that prevents fingerprints to a sharp and modern screen"; however, they also mentioned that the phone "aims high but misses the mark", giving it a 6/10 score.[19]
GSMarena said the "colours looked nice and outdoor visibility was okay" and "the Nokia 7.2 is powered by the Snapdragon 660, which is a bit dated, but still offers pretty great performance in both CPU and GPU intense tasks." They also commented on the charging, saying "We're not too thrilled about the 5V/2A charging capabilities - it'll take a while to fill those 3,500mAh batteries."[20]
