Nokia 7 has become the latest Nokia phone to become official as the company unveiled its latest mid-range mobile phone at an event in China. The launch had been anticipated since a Tmall teaser suggested the smartphone may carry the moniker ‘7’. With Nokia 7, buyers will get flagship-like features at roughly half the price of Nokia 8 phone. Among the highlights of the handset are the 7000 series aluminum body and Corning Gorilla Glass on the back panel. In fact, the Nokia 7 rear panel uses 3D glass thermoforming technology for casting and features with rounded corners.
The latest addition to the Nokia Android mobile phone portfolio packs a f/1.8 aperture lens and comes with ‘bothie’ Camera mode, which made its debut on the flagship Nokia 8. The Nokia company is heavily marketing the feature as “Dual-Sight mode” which uses both front and rear cameras simultaneously. The smartphone also supports live video streaming to Facebook and YouTube from the built-in camera. With the Nokia 7, HMD Global claims users can go live on Facebook from within the camera app and use the “Dual-Sight mode.”
