A couple of months ago, HMD Global launched Nokia 7, which is a mid-range smartphone that sits somewhere between the Nokia 6 and the company’s flagship device Nokia 8. The black colour variant went on sale last month and went out of stock within minutes.

Now, the company has also started selling the white colour variant of the smartphone. The phone is now available for pre-order from online retailer JD.com and will start shipping from 12th December. To pre-order the phone, users will have to make a deposit of 99 Yuan (approximately $15).

The white colour variant of the Nokia 7 is priced at 1,999 Yuan (approximately $302) for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage model. The 6GB RAM model is not yet available. Interestingly, the black colour model, which went on sale last month, starts at 2,499 Yuan.

While both the colour models come with glass body, the company says that they have a completely different feeling. According to the company, the back model has cool and smooth feel while the white model feels warm and delicate. The company said that the white version’s plating process takes seven steps to get completed, while the black version needs around 36 hours to complete the process.

Nokia 7 features a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with support for full HD screen resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The screen is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3 on top. Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 630 processor clocked at around 1.8GHz along with 4GB RAM.

Here’s a fresh set of Nokia 7 unboxing and hands-on photos that comes to you courtesy IThomes. Do watch out for a comprehensive review of Nokia’s latest mid-range smartphone by Linus here on Gizmochina. Before that happens, we may as well make do with these photos which capture the device from all angles, including the packaging and the entire content in the box.

The Nokia 7 comes enclosed in a colourful and attractive packaging box. At the back of the packaging, the features of the device are printed there. Inside the box, you’ll find all the usual stuff that accompanies a new smartphone. There is the phone itself, a silicone protective cover, a charging adapter, SIM tray ejector and a USB-C cable. 

This time around, we get a much closer look at the Nokia 7 and the device seems to look more beautiful than we thought. It features a glass body laced with a 7000-series aluminium frame and that gives it a premium look. The rear glass panel is a vacuum moulded 3D Gorilla Glass 3 panel. The device isn’t in anyway a rugged smartphone so don’t go thinking it won’t shatter. It isn’t shatterproof, neither is the device waterproof. It comes with an IP54 rating which is nothing more than a splash-proof body. 

Apart from the Gloss Black variant on display here, the Nokia 7 is also available in a Matte White colour variant. Generally, the mid-range model sports a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with Full HD resolution and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Perhaps, the major new feature onboard the phone is the 16MP ZEISS lens at the rear with a f/1.8 aperture. The camera setup has a slight bump from the body of the phone and is located in the middle with the LED flash underneath it. By the way, we’ve seen some of the Nokia 7’s camera samples and even though it didn’t perform badly, they are nowhere near being spectacular. There is also a 5MP selfie shooter onboard.

In other specs, the device is powered by a Snapdragon 630 processor backed by 4GB of RAM on some models and 6GB RAM on others. There is 64GB of expandable storage on board. It gets its juice from a generous 3,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. The device comes with a USB Type-C port. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Nokia took the wraps off the Nokia 7 on Thursday, just over a month after unveiling the flagship Nokia 8. The Nokia 7 does not come with the paraphernalia of a flagship device but fall in the mid-range category just like the Nokia 6 but as we have seen in this new era where HMD Global call the shot at Nokia, the build is of a premium flagship quality. 

The Nokia 7 hands-on photos, as well as camera sample, were spotted in the wild a few hours after it was officially launched. It is just apt that we deliver to it to you as fresh as it comes here on Gizmmochina. The Nokia 7 features a glass body laced with a 7000-series aluminium frame. The rear glass panel is a vacuum molded 3D Gorilla Glass 3. The device comes with IP54 rating which is nothing more than a splash-proof body. Also, the Nokia 7 comes in  Gloss Black and Matte White and both colour variants are captured in the unboxing photo gallery.

You get a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with Full HD resolution which should offer a clear display view even outdoors. The front display is also covered with a Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Perhaps, the most spectacular feature should be the 16MP ZEISS lens with a f/1.8 aperture. The camera samples also featured in the photo gallery below also shows how the new camera lens fare. No doubt, it can capture photos with vivid clarity during daytime but how it would fare at night remains to be seen. The camera doesn’t perform badly for a mid-range phone but we have seen better shots from mid-budget models like the Meizu M6 Note. That is just my opinion by the way.
