There’s a lot to love in this wallet-friendly handset
Great value if you get it for under $500; Solid hardware; Android One is as always a joy

The Nokia 7.2 brings the best of Nordic design sensibilities and pairs it with a competitive camera and stock Android. Unfortunately, the rest of the package doesn't quite match up.
Excellent design and build quality Clean build of Android Great portrait mode performance
Lackluster performance Small battery with no fast charging support Too expensive compared to the competition
The Nokia 7.2 offers solid performance, nice build quality, and the promise of timely software updates. It's a better phone than the 7.1, and yet it we're giving it a lower score.
Attractive design; Android One software; Bright display with accurate colors
Weak low-light camera performance; Tinny speaker
The Nokia 7.2 is a midrange phone that, like the other Nokia-branded phones, nails the basics. It looks like a device that should cost at least $100 more than it actually does, it has a clean version of Android software with no bloatware, it's guaranteed to get the latest major Android updates (with...
Grippy matte-textured glass design; 128GB of internal storage by default; plus microSD support for more; Stock Android 9 Pie; with Android 10 coming soon
Processor shows its limits during some games; LCD screen has poor viewing angles; Photo quality falls well below the Pixel 3A; Cellular connectivity limited to GSM carriers
The design of the Nokia 7.2 is eye-catching and unique compared to most of the competition - for better or for worse - with a fairly angular design and a glass back that refracts the light to provide a high-end look.
Though I sang its praises at the unveiling, my time with the Nokia 7.2 has changed my mind. It's now abundantly clear that the offering is a bit of a mixed bag. It excels in many areas, including design, performance and display quality.
Swish design; Outperforms other £300 phones; Decent array of cameras for the price
Poor battery life; 48MP shooting mode isn't great
In 2019, the entire dynamic of the smartphone industry has witnessed a seismic shift. No longer do we find budget or midrange models with less than spectacular specifications. Brands like Xiaomi, vivo, OPPO, Infinix, Tecno and even Samsung are launching handset after handset with specifications that...
“The Nokia 7.2 aims high but misses its target: the Google Pixel 3a.”
Android One promises fast updates; Elegant design; nice build quality; Large and modern-looking screen; Adequate battery life; Affordable
No Verizon or Sprint support; Occasional stutters and lag; Photos can be blurry; Google Pixel 3a is better in almost every way
While Nokia has previously experimented with some interesting camera configurations to try and distinguish itself in the market, the 7.2 is a more conventional offering. The triple-camera setup with ultra-wide and depth-sensing options provides some versatility, and serious smartphone videographers...

HMD Global is not only the champion when it comes to timely software updates , but also when it comes to updating its own smartphone series. At the IFA in Berlin this week, the Finnish manufacturer is giving two of its strong mid-range smartphones a hardware update.
