The Nokia 7 Plus is an Android One device that's going to be released in the United States, and it's expected to be priced around $450.

What makes this interesting is that not only does it have Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, but it's also going to be an Android One device. Meaning that it's going to get two years of guaranteed Android updates, as well as a fairly stock build of Android that's going to come pre-installed.

And that's actually something that Nokia is going to be doing across the board with their new phones. So everything above the Nokia 2 is going to be Android One certified. So if you want to make sure that you're getting the latest updates, that's actually going to be a big win.

This guy opens up, and we're getting something that should actually look a lot more modern. Even though these all look almost identical when you actually open them up. Whoa! This is copper? Yo, that looks really cool, I didn't realize.

So when you're looking at it straight on from the back, it's mostly black. But especially when you flip it over to the side, it's got this sort of brushed copper look. And that even comes across to little things like around the camera, which also has the little Zeiss logo.

Aw, man, this is a really good-looking phone. I can't get over how just how nice this feels in the hand. So because it's got that sort of copper ridge around it, it actually does settle really nicely. And on top of that, what we're going to be getting is a six-inch display with an 18x9 aspect ratio, so it's not going to be bezel-less, but it looks a little bit nicer.

And we're also going to be getting a full 2160x1080 resolution. Around back, you're going to be finding not only the fingerprint sensor, but also your dual cameras. So, like a lot of higher-end flagships, one is going to be the wide-angle camera, and one is going to be the telephoto option with a 2x zoom.

All right, so if I take a picture of Ken on the wide-angle camera, and then zoom in to 2x, yeah. Yeah, like most of these, the telephoto camera doesn't look quite as nice, but it should be available and it should be kind of helpful to have. Especially when you want to get a little bit of a different perspective on things.

Interestingly, this also has a 16-megapixel camera up front. Actually, it's going to be higher megapixels than the rear. And dude, that's not bad at all actually. There's even a little bit of depth of field there, too.

Spec-wise, you're going to be getting something that's going to be basically on par with what you'd expect at the price point, a Snapdragon 660. That being said, it actually does perform pretty well. And it's going to be backed up with four gigs of RAM, as well as 64 gigs of storage.

But the question is, is it worth it? So we're going to be getting only a single speaker unlike the dual speaker on the Nokia 6. But thankfully, it actually does sound better. And even more Thankfully, this still does have the headphone jack.

Just so you know. This guy is going to be rocking a 38000 milliamp hour cell which while not on par with the Nokia 2, it's going to be on the upper end of what you would find on most flagships. Especially considering the slightly lower-end internals in this guy.

If the Nokia 7 Plus does come to the U.S. around $450, it's actually going to be a really hard phone to beat. Now sure, you're going to be giving up a little bit of performance, but at this kind of price, you're getting nice build quality, a solid camera, and a good screen.

I mean really, the only thing I can complain about is it doesn't have stereo speakers. And even then, the speaker itself sounds pretty good so... Nokia has seen a massive turnaround.

And of course, some people are going to miss the old Windows phone days, but now that they're making Android devices, they're actually doing a really good job of making decent mid-range and as well as budget devices that have solid build quality, good battery life, and just have a nice clean build of Android that's actually going to get updates.

So should they exist in 2018? Yeah, of course, they should. They're doing some really cool stuff. I've gotta say, I'm actually happy that I got to give a good answer on one of these.

Anyway, guys, hopefully you enjoy this video. If you wanna check out any of this stuff, the link will be in the description. And I will catch you in the next one.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey, guys, this is Austin.Nokia used to be one ofthe biggest tech companiesin the world.However, after a few darkyears of Windows phone,they've actually emergedsort of better than ever.And they actually have a fulllineup of Android phones,and some non-Android phones.But of course the question is,why does Nokia exist in 2018?Of course, we have tostart with the Nokia 3310.Now if this looks familiar to you,we actually did an entire videoon the 3310 pretty recently.The sort of gist of itis that the original 3310was an absolute legend.And this is a modern remakewith some update internals,and sort of more importantly,some retro style.So sure, for a lot of peoplethis is going to be a noveltyrather than a phonethat you're actually goingto want to use everyday.However, this is only one ofa surprisingly large amountof phones that Nokia sells today.Where things get a littlebit more interestingis with the Nokia 2.Now this takes the huge stepall the way up to running Android.And with only $100 price tag,there's a lot to like here.Crack this guy open, andthe first thing we seeis the phone itself.Now something that sort of separates thisfrom a lot of other super-budget phonesis actually going to be the build.Around back, you're going tosee it's got a plastic shell.However, around the actualedges and the frame,it's going to be made out of aluminum.And that makes asurprisingly big differenceto the actual feel in the hand.It does feel a lot nicerthan the $100 price tag would suggest.But if we pop off that back panel,and what you'll find is notonly a pair of sim card slots,but you're also going to be gettingmicro SD card expandability.And you can use all threeof those at the same time.Something else you're going to find hereis unfortunately an unremovable battery.But it's going to be amassive 4100 milliamp hours.So that is a very big batteryfor pretty much any phone.For context, most Android flagshipsare somewhere in the3500 milliamp hour range.When you consider thisis a $100 budget phonewith $100 budget specs,that battery is going tomake this thing last forever.What you're getting hereis a pretty solid five inch 720p display.Now what's really impressive about this,is it actually gets surprisingly bright.I mean, yeah, of course you see $100 phoneyou're going to thinkthat it's not going tobe super cutting edge.But I think for most peopleyou're going to be totallyfine with this screen.Now at this point, this isall sounding a little bittoo good to be true.And where things fallapart is with the specs.So inside this guy is poweredby a Snapdragon 212 processor.Now that is not exactly going to be fast.It is going to be quad core,but it's only going tobe using Cortex A7 cores,which are old-school and very, very slow.Making things a lot worse is the ideathat this only has one gigabyte of RAM.Now it's going to be kind of usable.It's going to be fine for a lot of things.But the issue is that multi-taskingis pretty much going to be a no go.And apps are going toconstantly being ejectedout of the memory.The good thing is, thisis going to be runningon Android 7.1.1 Nougat,and it will be gettingan update to Oreo soon.And for the most part,the software is goingto be nice and clean.There's really no extra bloatware.It's going to be pretty muchas you would expect to findon something like a Pixel.Around back it's rockingan eight megapixel camera.Now if we take a look here,you know what, that's actuallynot going to be that bad.I mean, it's going to be alittle bit low on dynamic range.And it's still going to be a touch soft.For $100, what you're getting hereis going to be solid build quality,pretty crazy battery life,at the expense of alittle bit of performance.However, luckily, Nokia also has a rangeof other devices available,including the Nokia 6.Open this guy up, andit's immediately apparentthat it's going to be a larger phone.So this guy, oh wow, youactually can tell immediately.Is going to be a little bitmore of a premium build.So where as the Nokia 2 had a little bitof plastic on the back.How do you actually open this?As I was saying, the build qualityis going to be a littlebit more premium here.So as opposed to havingjust an aluminum chassis,what we're getting hereis a full uni-body designwith actual aluminum on the back.Now the only thing that kindof jumps out to me a little bitand honestly, that'sbecause I've been lookingat so many flagships lately,is that the bezels are goingto be a little bit large.But that does leave roomfor the actual hapticbuttons on the bottom,as well as you're goingto be getting an earpiece,which doubles as a stereo speaker.Along with the littletiny one on the bottom.For $1000, today though,I was able to pick it up.It actually doesn't sound that great.So you can tell it is using both speakers,but it sounds a little bit muffled.I mean it's not terrible, mind you,but it just doesn't sound very clear.Which is a little bitodd for dual speakers.Inside you're going to be gettingan octicore Snapdragon 430 processor.Now in addition to havingdouble the cores of the Nokia 2,they're also going to be Cortex 853 basedwhich is going to be significantly fasterwhile still giving youdecent battery life.Now the rest of the specs are going to bewith three gigs of RAM aswell as 64 gigs of storage.However, one of theonly things that's goingto slowly let this phone down is the ideathat it only has a 3000milliamp hour battery.Now, with a spec like that,it's not actually going to be that bad,but it is definitely not goingto last anywhere near as longas the Nokia 2 with its massive4000 milliamp hour battery.However just like the Nokia2 we are going to be gettinga super clean build of Android,and yet again it's goingto be running Nougat witha future upgrade to Oreo.It's also using the same camera app,but it actually lookslike this is a little bitof a better sensor.So as opposed to the 8megapixel sensor on the Nokia 2,this guy is rocking 16 megapixels.Yeah that's a lot better.Especially the white balanceis much more accurate.Oh yeah, that is goingto be a big, big change.Might not be the greatestcamera on a smartphoneyou've ever seen, but for theprice, I'm not complaining.That's actually looking super nice.It might not be super exciting,but this is a fairly decentlooking midrange device.Especially consideringthat there's a newversion coming out soon.Might be worth checking out.I've gotta say, Nokia'sactually been doinga pretty good job so far.All these phones are decentif not actually pretty solid.However, the next andthe newest phone I hadto take a look at todayis the Nokia 7 Plus.So this is a brand new device.In Europe, it shouldcost around 400 Euros,or once it comes around to the States,somewhere in theneighborhood of about $450.Now what makes this interesting,is that not only doesit have Android 8.0 Oreoout of the box,but it's also going tobe an Android One device.Meaning that it's going to get two yearsof guaranteed Android updates,as well as that same fairlystock build of Androidthat's going to come pre-installed.And that's actually something that Nokiais going to be
