Nokia 8.1 (Nokia X7) technical sheet
The Nokia 8.1 (Nokia X7) suits buyers looking for an everyday phone with expandable storage and a capable camera setup; the main trade-off is a battery that stands below average among phones launched around the same time. Its 3,500 mAh battery supports 18 W fast charging, both average figures. At 180 g, it is also heavier than most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.18-inch IPS LCD display has 408 ppi, higher than that of most phones from its time, and supports HDR10. The Snapdragon 710 comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, both more than most phones launched around the same time; storage is expandable. The camera is better than most: its rear main sensor measures 1/2.55″, includes optical image stabilization and records 4K video at 30 fps. NFC, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack and dual Nano-SIM add to connectivity that is better than on most phones from the same time. Running Android 9 and with an overall NeoScore of 4.6, the Nokia 8.1 is worth considering for buyers who prioritize a detailed display, flexible storage and camera features, while accepting a battery that falls below average overall.
