HMD Global has been quite slow with the roll-out of Android 11 to its devices. For a brand that brags about how great it is when it comes to software updates, this is disappointing. Now, a new Android 11 roadmap released by the manufacturers reveals the update will be arriving later for some phones.

According to the roadmap shared on the official Nokia Community forums, the rollout which was originally planned to end by the second quarter of 2021 will now end in the third quarter.

Devices such as the Nokia 9 PureView, the Nokia 7.2, and the Nokia 6.2 will now receive the Android 11 update in the third quarter of the year and it appears it will be towards the end of the quarter.

The Nokia 1 Plus, Nokia 1.3, and Nokia 1.4 which are all Android Go phones will get their updates in the second quarter along with the Nokia 5.3 that was originally supposed to get updated back in Q4 2020. The Nokia 3.4 and Nokia 5.4 are also among the devices getting the update this quarter.

Will HMD Global stick to this adjusted schedule? Only time will tell.

The post HMD Global releases Android 10 update for the Nokia 7.2 appeared first on Gizmochina.

It has been more than six months since the Android 10 stable update was released. However, there are still several eligible phones that are yet to get updated. HMD Global is one such manufacturer with a large portfolio of devices that are eligible to get updated to Android 10. The manufacturer originally released a schedule for the update back in August 2019. It has now followed it up with a new one today that changes the timeframe for some devices and adds new ones to the list.

The new schedule shows the devices that have already been updated such as the Nokia 7.1, Nokia 8.1, Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, and Nokia 7 Plus.

The changes begin with the devices scheduled to get updated in the first quarter of 2020. The old schedule (below) stated that the Nokia 2.2, Nokia 3.1 Plus, Nokia 3.2, and Nokia 4.2 will get the update in Q1 2020 but the new schedule shows only the Nokia 2.2 will be updated this quarter. Moreover, the update has been moved to the end of the quarter, so expect it to arrive later this month.

While that is definitely sad news for a lot of people, HMD Global will be making it up to them between the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter. The manufacturer plans to update a total of seven devices within that period. These phones include the Nokia 3.2, Nokia 4.2, Nokia 3.1 Plus and the Nokia 8 Sirocco. The list also includes the Nokia 2.3, Nokia 7.2, and Nokia 6.2 which were not on the first schedule.

The Nokia 5.1 Plus and the Nokia 1 Plus which were originally scheduled for a Q1 update will now be updated in early Q2 2020. The last set of devices to be updated are the Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 5.1 and Nokia 1 and they will be updated in the middle of the second quarter of the year.

DxOMark, the popular smartphone tester, has just published its scores regarding the Nokia 7.2‘s audio capabilities. The mid-range smartphone received 41 points which is relatively very low and has seen its place at the bottom.

DxOMark initially focused on reviewing digital/professional grade cameras but has since diversified to include smartphone photography as well, and through its extension even audio testing. The tests for the Nokia 7.2 were done in two different categories and included aspects such as the smartphone’s single speaker, 3.5mm headphone jack, Qualcomm aptX audio and two microphones with spacial surround capture.

According to DxOMark, the tests were done from trained officials that perform various tests which are undertaken over 20 hours. The Nokia 7.2 received a score of 33 from playback and 66 points for recording. For the former, DxOMark tests revealed a terrible playback in the spacial category. While its artifacts received a positive score, the timbre volume range, dynamics are relatively low, placing it at the very bottom of the list.

For the recording, the Nokia 7.2 fared a lot better here with positive scoring across most areas. Its volume range, timbre, and artifacts were again one of the top performers. However, its background recording saw one of the lowest scores ever. Furthermore, its dynamics and spatial during recording was only average in comparison.

The lack of its stereo speakers saw it take a hit on playback while its average recording capabilities aren’t enough to raise the score on itself, something expected of smartphones from this category. Notably, the Nokia 7.2 scored lower than even some of its lowest rated devices like Sony Xperia 1, Black Shark 2 Pro and LG G8 ThinQ.

This may just be the right time to pick up a new Android One mid-range phone if you reside in India. Earlier today, Xiaomi announced a price cut for the Mi A3, but if you will rather go with a different brand, then HMD Global Oy’s Nokia 7.2 or Nokia 6.2 are alternatives as the manufacturer has also announced permanent price cuts for the two devices.

Starting with the Nokia 6.2, the phone is now available for purchase at offline partner stores for INR 12,499 (~$175), which is INR 3500 (~$49) off its original launch price in October 2019.

$175 seems like a more reasonable price for a phone with a 6.3-inch FHD+ display with a Snapdragon 636 processor inside it. It has 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, triple rear cameras with a 16MP + 8MP + 5MP configuration, and an 8MP selfie camera. You also get a 3500mAh battery, fingerprint scanner, and a dedicated Google Assistant button.

The more powerful Nokia 7.2 will sell for INR 15,499 (~$217) for the 4GB + 64GB version. That is a reduction of INR 4500 off its launch price. If you want more RAM, then the 6GB + 64GB version which had a launch price of INR19,599 (~$275) can now be bought for INR 17,099 (~$240).

The Nokia 7.2 has a 6.3-inch FHD+ screen with Gorilla Glass protection. It is powered by the Snapdragon 660 and also packs a 3500mAh battery. There are three cameras on the back too but it has a 48MP primary camera while the selfie camera is a 20MP sensor. You get a dedicated Google Assistant button, USB Type-C, an audio jack, a fingerprint scanner, and Dual-SIM support.

The two phones launched with Android 9 Pie out of the box but they will get three years of OS upgrades and security updates. Android 10 should be made available for both devices soon.

The Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 can be bought at the new prices at retail stores as well as on the official Nokia Mobile India website.

A few months ago, in September 2019, HMD Global launched the Nokia 7.2 mid-range smartphone which has now been reviewed by DxOMark. While the result seems similar to the Nokia 9 PureView, the report says that the performance differs widely.

Nokia 7.2 smartphone has secured an overall DxOMark Camera score of 85, showing a notable improvement over the older Nokia 8. The result of this smartphone is broadly comparable to the Nokia 9 PureView launched earlier in 2019.

The smartphone has hit a photo score of 90 points, witnessing very modest improvement for still images over the Nokia 9 PureView at 88. The company adds that while the scores are very similar across the board, there are some notable differences in the performance of the two rival Nokia devices.

It also says that the addition of an ultra-wide lens helps boost the final score for the Nokia 7.2 but the phone isn’t quite as good as Nokia 9 PureView when it comes to color, autofocus, or night shots. In the video category, the phone has scored 75 points.

The device comes with a triple-camera setup on the back. The primary camera uses a 1/2-inch 48Mp Quad-Bayer sensor with 0.8µm pixels coupled to a standard wide-angle f/1.8-aperture lens with PDAF autofocus. It also has an ultra-wide second shooter built around an 8MP sensor with a 13mm-equivalent f/2.2-aperture lens and a 5MP dedicated depth sensor for Portrait mode.

It comes with bokeh effects such as ZEISS Modern, ZEISS Swirl, and ZEISS Smooth for adjusting several features when you take a portrait photo. There is also a Night Mode which uses a combination of advanced image fusion and multiple exposures for brighter images with rich details.

The Nokia 7.2 features a 6.3-inch FHD+ PureDisplay with the same PixelWorks processor for real-time HDR conversion. It also has a notch at the top which houses a 20MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens. It is powered by Snapdragon 660 processor with 4/6 GB RAM and 64/128 GB of expandable storage.

The phone runs Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box and is promised by the company to get 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security updates. The device has a 3500mAh battery and with AI features like Adaptive Battery and HMD Global has promised a 2-day battery life.

Since they’ve gotten back into the business of making Android phones, Nokia has been accepted as creating some pretty great affordable Android devices on the market. Now Nokia Mobile has officially announced the Nokia 7.2 for the Indian market.

The device touts a premium glass and metal design along with a new triple camera setup with Zeiss optics and a PureDisplay waterdrop screen. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC along with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Other features include a 3500mAh battery, a USB-C port, a 3.5mm jack and Android 9 Pie.

One of the more unique things about the Nokia 7.2 — and also found in other recent Nokia devices — is a dedicated Google Assistant button. While not as convenient as having the Google Assistant just a squeeze away via the Active Edge, the dedicated button should still make for easy access to everyone’s favorite voice assistant.

There’s also a very nice photography setup on the Nokia 7.2 with a triple-camera arrangement on the rear including a 48MP main sensor, an ultrawide camera, and a depth-sensing camera for high quality bokeh effect shots.

While the Nokia 7.2 will ship with Pie-based Android One, HMD Global has assured us that the device is “Android Q ready.” No doubt, the phone will be seeing the Android 10 update as soon as Google makes it available to other Android One devices.

The device will go on sale next week, on 23rd September and will be available in  Cyan Green and Charcoal colors, as well as two memory configurations. The Nokia 7.2 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage will retail at Rs. 18,599 (€236, $261), which is far below the announced global price tag of €299 (Rs. 23,500). The version of the device with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage will cost Rs. 19,599 (€249, $275).

The Nokia 7.2 is one of two smartphones HMD Global announced at IFA 2019. The phone is the closest rival of the Xiaomi Mi A3 when it comes to mid-range Android One smartphones. Check out the poll we created to see the more preferred one of the two.

The Nokia 7.2 has a starting price of €299 for the 4GB RAM + 64GB version and €349 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB version in Europe. It is set to go on sale by the end of September.

NokiaPowerUser reports that it will be arriving the US tomorrow, September 16, and will be available for pre-order on B&H Photo and BestBuy. However, it will be coming in a different configuration in the US.

Rather than the base model which has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage or the top model which has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the Nokia 7.2 that will be sold in the US will have 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. B&H Photo already has it listed for $349 and says pre-order begins at 12 am ET, Monday, September 16. It is available in Charcoal and Cyan Green.

BestBuy also has the phone listed for the same price of $349 or $58.34 per month but says it is coming soon.

The Nokia 7.2 has a 6.3-inch FHD+ PureDisplay with a waterdrop notch and is covered with Gorilla Glass 3. It has a PixelWorks processor for real-time SDR to HDR conversion.

There is a Snapdragon 660 processor under the hood which draws power from a 3500mAh battery. It has triple rear cameras with a ZEISS lens. The primary camera is a 48MP sensor with Quad-Pixel technology and it is paired with a 5MP depth sensor and an 8MP 118° ultrawide angle camera. It can record in 4K with spatial audio recording and also has a dedicated Night Mode. Inside the notch in front is a 20MP sensor.

Nokia 7.2 and 6.2 were officially unveiled at IFA 2019 among a bunch of other products such as the Nokia 2720 Flip and Nokia Power earbuds. However, these two phones turned out to be the real showstoppers of the Nokia event in Berlin, thanks to its revamped design and competitive specs. Now it looks like HMD Global is all set to release the duo in India as well. Both the models were recently listed on the official Nokia India website.

The Nokia 7.2 and the 6.2 share a similar design language with a waterdrop notch on their 6.3-inch IPS LCD displays and a circular camera housing at the back. But the real highlight is the color options available like Cyan Green and Ice which makes their design stand out even more. Unfortunately, the Nokia India website doesn’t reveal a date for its release. But the company is said to have sent invites for a September 11 event in India, likely for their launch.

Unlike the global variants, the Nokia duo won’t have NFC support. This was recently confirmed by a company executive. While the lack of NFC is a bit disappointing, it’s not going to be a deal-breaker for most Indian customers. NFC payment is not really a popular feature in India and even the Nokia 4.2 which was announced in May in India lacked this one particular feature.

The post Nokia 7.2 and 6.2 listed on official India website, launches this week appeared first on Gizmochina.

Update: After a week of voting, the poll has ended and we are quite surprised by the result.

Even with its more expensive price tag, the Nokia 7.2 is the more preferred device with 54.19% of the votes while the Mi A3 got 45.81%.

Let us know what you think about the final results.

On Thursday, at the ongoing IFA 2019 trade show,  HMD Global announced the Nokia 7.2, a mid-range Android One smartphone with a pretty gorgeous design (we really dig the turquoise variant) and specs we have seen before.

If you are on the lookout for an Android One phone, then the Nokia 7.2 should be on your radar. However, there is another device you should consider – the Xiaomi Mi A3. Both phones are similar in more ways than one but also different and they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

For example, the Nokia 7.2 has a bigger display with a higher resolution and HDR10 and will definitely get better software support than the Mi A3 even though they are both Android One phones. However, its lack of fast charging, plastic frame, and €299 price are deal-breakers.

On the other hand, what the Mi A3 has going for it includes a bigger battery capacity, support for 18W fast charging, and a lower price tag. The deal-breakers are its lower-resolution display albeit Super AMOLED, lack of NFC, and Xiaomi’s less-than-stellar software support for its Android One devices.

So we want to know which one of these two phones you will choose if you were considering an Android One smartphone?

The Nokia 7.2 is an upcoming mid-range smartphone that is expected to launch later this month in China and a global release at IFA in September.

Ahead of its official unveiling, the phone has been spotted on Geekbench. The benchmark result reveals key details about its specs including its processor.

The device was benchmarked yesterday as the “HMD Global Nokia 7.2”. It runs Android 9 and has 6GB of RAM. There should be other RAM variants too but this should be the highest configuration. Its predecessor, the Nokia 7.1 was announced in 3GB RAM and 6GB RAM variants.

Geekbench doesn’t mention the processor as the motherboard says “Daredevil” which is the phone’s codename. However, the base frequency is 1.84GHz. We compared it to that of other devices that have been benchmarked and the chipset which has the same base frequency is the Snapdragon 660.

So, yes, the Nokia 7.2 will come with a Snapdragon 660 processor as earlier reported. This is a fair upgrade considering the Nokia 7.1 is powered by the Snapdragon 636 processor. The device scored 1604 points in the single-core test and 5821 points in the multi-core test. They are similar to the scores of the Redmi Note 7 which is powered by the same chipset.

The Nokia 7.2 is said to have three rear cameras arranged in a circular housing. The configuration of the cameras is unknown but we expect they will have ZEISS lens. The phone should also have an FHD+ display and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. It should also run Android

Recent reports have revealed the Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 are the upcoming smartphone from HMD Global. These smartphones are respectively codenamed as Daredevil and Star-Lord.

The post Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 August launch tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

In early July, photos of a Nokia phone with model number TA-1198 surfaced online. The phone is yet to launch but it appears it may launch as the Nokia 7.2. Alleged case renders of the Nokia 7.2 have surfaced and they match the design of the leaked photos of the TA-1198.

The case renders show the phone has a notched display but as the live photos have shown, it is nowhere as small as what the render depicts.

The renders show that the volume rocker and power buttons are on the right while a third button which we believe to be the Google Assistant button is on the left. The bottom is home to a USB-C port and a cut-out for the speaker while a 3.5mm audio jack is at the top.

On the back, the Nokia 7.2 has a circular camera housing that holds three cameras and an LED flash. Another of the render shows the phone has a camera bump. Below the sensors is a fingerprint scanner.

If the Nokia TA-1198 is indeed the Nokia 7.2, then the phone will have an FHD+ display, a Snapdragon 660 processor, a 48MP primary rear camera, and a 3500mAh battery.
