The much awaited unveiling of the Nokia 7 smartphone
finally came yesterday at the HMD Global Press event, and I must say for a
mid-range device, all the anticipation was worth it. The latest smartphone from
Nokia, sports a 3000mAh battery life, a 5.2-inch 1080p LCD display, and a
much improved 16MP camera with f/1.8 aperture.

The mid-range device is housed in a glass and aluminium
body with the fingerprint sensor at the back, sports a 5-megapixel
wide-angle secondary camera and a 16-megapixel main camera with f/1.8
aperture with dual-tone flash. According to Nokia, the Nokia 7 comes with what
it calls the “Dual Sight” Technology; a feature that allows users
take photos and record videos with the front and back camera at the same time. Could
this be a selling point? Well, Samsung did this with the S4 back in 2013!
