Nokia 7.1 review: an affordable phone close to perfection

HMD Global is slowly but surely conquering the phone market. The Nokia 6.1, released at the beginning of the year, was considered one of the best smartphones for $300 (20,000 rubles). The new $350 Nokia 7.1 looks and feels like a flagship, with a fantastic HDR-ready screen, performance, Android One OS, and capable cameras.

There are plenty of decent phones for the money these days, but Nokia’s 7.1 should be at the top of the list as it’s a nearly perfect mid-range smartphone. If it has any distinctive features, read the review.
