The Nokia 7 may not be a full-fledged premium smartphone, but it interestingly has a massive 6GB RAM 
(A 4GB-only version is also available) leading its upscale assortment of pros and cons. Its RAM works hand-in-hand with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor, which clocks in at 2.2GHz -- right on par with several other high-end chips, while a 3000mAh battery pack 
, which could run into a bit of trouble (We expected something around 4000mAh), given its RAM capacity, is in charge of its power supply.

Aside from its hardware setup, this 5.2-inch Nokia Android also lugs a high-ranking pro when it comes to imaging, sporting a 16-megapixel f/1.8-aperture rear-facing camera that captures Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) videos injected with Nokia's OZO audio technology . Also on board is a dual-view camera mode that lets users snap pictures using both rear and front cameras at the same time. Zeiss optics and a dual-LED flash improve its chances of snagging a spot in our list of the best camera phones as well. Sadly, the Nokia 7 is not that compelling when it comes to selfies, settling for a 5-megapixel-only selfie shooter , whereas some of its contemporaries have 8-megapixel (or better) front cameras.

Looking at its other pros and cons, we found the Nokia 7's 5.2-inch FHD-1080p facade to be quite out-of-place, especially on a 6GB RAM smartphone. It also lacks the waterproofing that a couple of other 2017 Nokia models offer, but it does sandwich its specs between a 7000-series aluminum frame crafted using the 3D glass thermoforming technology and a 3rd-generation Gorilla Glass display cover . Topping it off is a 64GB eMMC 5.1 internal memory expandable by up to 128GB and an LTE Cat 6 network adapter promising a 300Mbps peak data rate .

Compared to some other 6GB-RAM models, which usually come with 2K screens and 4000mAh power caps, the Nokia 7 may sound crude, but with a competent CPU and a high-tier camera tagging along, it still makes for a reasonable upmarket Android.
On-paper Star rating: 
It's great that the Nokia 7 can record fancy 3840 x 2160 clips, but we're surprised we didn't find any sign of the Nokia 7 sporting an HDMI port (which comes in handy to watch HD videos on your shiny HDTV without having to move them first to your computer).

The screen is big, making it a phablet: 5.2 inches and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels means about 11.55 square inches and an image sharpness of at least 423.84 dots per inch (DPI)!
The Nokia 7 is not sold with a memory card but it can accept up to 128GB in memory expansion, which is convenient to store pictures and video clips taken with the built-in 16-megapixel camera.
A 16-megapixel camera offers a lot more pixels than most other phones.
The selfie cam resolution seems just about average.
