On the specification front, the Nokia 7 comes with a 5.2-inch full HD display encased in a glass body and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the top.

In terms of optics, the phone has a 16-megapixel rear camera with dual-tone LED flash and a 5-megapixel front shutter with 84 degrees angle of view. Just like Nokia 8, the phone also has a Bothie feature which allows users to take pictures with both the front and rear cameras simultaneously. The phone gets its daily fuel from a 3,000 mAh battery and has fast charging feature. For connectivity, the handset has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC and USB Type-C port.

Nokia 7 has been priced at RMB 2,499 (Rs 24,500 approx.) and RMB 2,699 (Rs 26,400) for 4GB and 6GB variant respectively. It will be selling in China starting today in Gloss Black and Matte White colours.
