After the huge progress of the main Chinese smartphones manufacturers in 2018, Samsung just cannot stop launching mid-range phones in this first half of 2019. The latest one and also one of the most impressive ones is the Samsung Galaxy A60, which may become one of the most wanted devices in the upper midrange segment. But it has a lot of rivals in its price range. Among them, there are the new Nokia X71 and the Huawei P30 Lite, which have a high chance of cannibalizing each other’s sales. Through this specs comparison, you may be able to discover which one fits your needs

Samsung Galaxy A60 vs Huawei P30 Lite vs Nokia X71

Design

A lot of people think that punch-hole displays are the future, as they do not need the hated notch, neither a complex slider mechanism to minimize the bezels around the display without getting rid of the front camera. And both Samsung Galaxy A60 and Nokia X71 come with impressive punch-hole displays. They are almost full borderless thanks to this solution, without needing a notch or a slider. Huawei P30 Lite has a classic waterdrop notch, so it is nothing so special. I mostly like the Samsung Galaxy A60 because of both its punch-hole front camera and its elegant gradient colors on the back, as well as a more compact design than Nokia X71.

Display

In each case you get a classic IPS LCD display, so do not expect big changes between the image quality. There will surely be minor differences in brightness, contrast, viewing angles etc, but probably they will not be very noticeable. There is just a slight difference even in the form factors and the dimensions of these displays. As said above, Samsung Galaxy A60 and Nokia X71 come with punch-hole displays as well as a similar diagonal. Huawei P30 Lite has a way smaller panel and a waterdrop notch, but it is also a more compact device, easier to use with one hand and to keep in a pocket.

Specs & Software

There is no challenge here, the Samsung Galaxy A60 is the winner. The Samsung’s midrange takes the performance award thanks to its powerful Snapdragon 675 chipset, that is more or less at the same level as the Snapdragon 710 (slightly better CPU, but inferior GPU). Nokia X71 and Huawei P30 Lite are not so different when it comes to the hardware side, but I personally prefer the Nokia X71 for its better GPU and Android One installed. However, we are not talking about relevant performance improvements in any case, especially because all of these devices come in the same memory configuration: 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

Camera

Here it will be a hard fight, and we can not give you a definitive opinion until we test the camera department of the Samsung Galaxy A60. Indeed, on the paper, the Galaxy A60 seems impressive with its 32 MP main sensor on the back, but the Nokia X71 may still be better with its even more impressive 48 MP camera, Carl Zeiss optics and the capability to record 4K videos. On the other hand, both Samsung Galaxy A60 and Huawei P30 Lite seem to sport a better front camera with a high 32 MP resolution. So, judging from the specs on the paper, Nokia X71 looks like the one which could offer more, with the Samsung Galaxy A60 right behind it.

Battery

Samsung Galaxy A60 and Nokia X71 come with the biggest battery thanks to a capacity of 3500 mAh. We still do not know which one will last more on a single charge, but given that Nokia X71 has the bloatware-free Android One, it might have longer battery life. However, we will be able to give a definitive verdict only after testing the software optimization.

Price

While Nokia X71 and Huawei P30 Lite debuted with a €290 price tag, Samsung Galaxy A60 costs €270. At the end of the day, the price does not make the difference, but on the paper, the better processor and the well-balanced specs of the Samsung Galaxy A60 do, at least in my opinion. However, some may prefer the faster and more constant updates of the Nokia X71, as well as its amazing rear cameras. Which one would you pick?

Despite its above-average price, the newly-announced Nokia X71 had a big echo in the smartphones world during the initial period. But the concurrency released a lot of midrange phones like that in the last period: will the Nokia X71 be at their level and win the sales competition? In this article, we compared the new HMD Global affordable device with two of the most interesting upper-midrange phones of the moment. One is the Redmi Note 7 Pro, a powered-up version of the Redmi Note 7 with a better SoC and more internal storage. The second is the less famous Hisense U30 that is the world’s first phone with Snapdragon 675 on board. After reading the comparison, let us know which one do you prefer by using the comment box below.

Nokia X71 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro vs HiSense U30

Design

In a world in which all the upper-midrange phones come with a glass body, HiSense U30 differentiates from the concurrency thanks to a leather back. And it is also one of the first phones to sport a punch-hole display with minimal bezels. Announced at CES 2019, this device is one of the most original ones in terms of aesthetics. But if you are not an anti-conformist user and you prefer a traditional but elegant design, as well as great build quality, then you should choose the Nokia X71 which comes with a glass back, an aluminum frame and a punch-hole display. With its standard waterdrop notch and its plastic frame, Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro represents the cheapest choice when it comes to materials, so it does not deserve attention under this point of view.

Display

We suggest you skip this section if you are seriously considering to get one of these phones. The reason is simple: there are just minimal differences between the display quality of these handsets. Each of them comes with a classic IPS LCD panel and a Full HD+ resolution, so the level of detail is not so different, as well as the viewing angles and the color reproduction. The only important difference is the position of the cameras and the bezels thickness: as said above, while Redmi Note 7 Pro has a waterdrop notch, Nokia X71 and HiSense U30 come with in-display cameras which make them look more “borderless”.

Specs & Software

Due to its lower-end Snapdragon 660 chipset, Nokia X71 is the inferior guy when it comes to hardware and performance. But note that it comes with the stock Android One, so it will get faster updates and direct support by Google. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro and HiSense U30 are more powerful as they both feature a Snapdragon 675 SoC paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Speed and reactivity are not that different, but Redmi Note 7 Pro has expandable internal storage, while the HiSense U30 has no expansion slot.

Camera

On the paper, Nokia X71 has the most advanced camera department which is also its strongest point. It is equipped with a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens and a 5 MP depth sensor. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro and HiSense U30 have a 48 + 5 MP dual camera and they lack the ultrawide sensor and the Carl Zeiss optics found on the Nokia X71.

Battery

With a 4500 mAh battery, HiSense U30 wins the battery comparison on the paper, but we still have to see how its software optimization performs and how much it is able to last on a single charge. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro comes right after with a 4000 mAh unit, while Nokia X71 takes the last place with a 3500 mAh battery. All come with a fast charging technology.

Price

For a unit of the Nokia X71, you are willing to pay about €290/$326, HiSense U30 costs about €356/$402, while the Redmi Note 7 Pro comes with a price tag of €200/$225, but in a lower-end memory configuration (4/64 GB instead of 6/128 GB). In conclusion, due to its bigger battery, its punch-hole display, and its amazing hardware department, HiSense U30 looks the most impressive device on the paper. But if you prefer cameras, then you would better go for the Nokia X71.

As expected, Finland-based HMD Global has announced its all-new Nokia X71 smartphone in the Chinese market. The phone was first unveiled earlier this week in Taiwan, along with the company’s flagship smartphone Nokia 9 PureView.

In China, the Nokia X71 is now available for pre-order in Space Black color. The phone is offered in two variants — one with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage and another with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The 64GB model costs 2,199 Yuan (approximately $327) while the 128GB model is priced at 2,699 Yuan (approximately $402).

The Nokia X71 comes with a 6.39-inch PureView Display that offers full HD+ resolution and 19.3:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone boasts an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 93 percent. The other display features of the Nokia X71 include support for 500nits of brightness and 1:1400 contrast ratio.

The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 SoC under its hood. The 14nm SoC is coupled with 6GB of RAM with 64GB or 128GB internal storage. It also comes equipped with a microSD card slot for expanding the storage capacity.

It is the company’s first smartphone to have a triple rear camera setup. It comes with an f/1.8 aperture ZEISS 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 5-megapixel depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture and a 120-degree field of view 8-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens. On the front side, there’s a 16-megapixel snapper with f/2.0 aperture.

The smartphone is fitted with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. The power button with breathing light can glow for alerts such as missed calls and new messages. The other features that have been included in the Nokia X71 are dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack and OZO 360-degree surround sound technology.

For the first time in 2019, HMD Global renewed its upper-midrange line-up with a new smartphone launched in the Asian market: the Nokia X71. A few days later, Motorola launched two new variants of the Moto G7 Plus with 4 and 6 GB of RAM, as well as 128 GB of internal storage. Alongside the recently-announced Samsung Galaxy A70, these handsets represent some of the most interesting alternatives when it comes to quality-price ratio. This comparison will tell you which one should have a higher value for money and which is the best device of the trio in case you do not care about the price at all.

Nokia X71 vs Motorola Moto G7 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A70

Design

If you are seeking for the best and most futuristic look you should undoubtedly go for the Nokia X71. It is the first phone by HMD Global to feature a punch-hole display that reaches a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent without the need of a notch. Further, it comes with a premium body with a glass back and an aluminum frame. My second place goes to the Moto G7 Plus for having an outstanding build quality. It comes with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 3, an aluminum frame and splash resistance. But if you only care about the look, then you may need to know that Samsung Galaxy A70 looks more gorgeous with its gradient colors and a very high screen-to-body ratio. Which one do you prefer?

Display

When it comes to displays, Samsung is most of the times a step forward compared to other manufacturers, as it is one of the most important display manufacturers. Its midrange phones usually come with AMOLED display which boasts a better color reproduction with more brilliant color and deeper blacks. That is exactly the case of the Samsung Galaxy A70 which also comes with an ultra-tall 20:9 aspect ratio and a huge 6.7-inch diagonal. For all these reasons, it easily wins this display comparison. The second place goes to the Moto G7 Plus as it comes with good brightness and nice color reproduction, but it has only marginal differences compared to the Nokia X71.

Specs & Software

Despite Motorola held a separate event to launch a higher-end memory configuration of the Moto G7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy A70 wins the hardware comparison for being equipped with a more powerful chipset and a higher amount of RAM. It sports a wonderful Snapdragon 670 which is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. Moto G7 Plus has an older and less powerful Snapdragon 636, so it gets beaten even by the Nokia X71 which comes with the Snapdragon 660 boasting a higher clock frequency and better graphics performances. Note that Samsung Galaxy A70 has a customized user interface, while Moto G7 Plus and Nokia X71 come with stock Android (X71 is part of the Android One program with faster and more constant updates as well as direct support by Google).

Camera

Overall, the best camera department belongs to the Samsung Galaxy A70. It comes with a triple rear camera composed of a 32 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide secondary lens and a depth sensor, while on the front it has a stunning 32 MP snapper. But if we only consider the rear sensors, Nokia X71 is more or less at the same level with its Carl Zeiss and its 48 MP triple camera. However, we have to test the Nokia X71 thoroughly to give a definitive opinion, and we still did not have the chance to click some photos with it. Unlike its rivals with triple cameras, Moto G7 Plus lacks the ultrawide lens, but it still provides a stunning photo quality thanks to OIS for the primary sensor and a very bright focal aperture.

Battery

Samsung Galaxy A70 is equipped with a monster battery and it lasts a lot more on a single charge. It can even pass two days with a stressed usage pattern, that is amazing. Motorola Moto G7 Plus has the smallest battery and it can not compete with its opponents, but it has also a faster-charging technology, so it is able to fully charge in less time. Nokia X71 sits in the middle with a 3500 mAh unit.

Price

Motorola Moto G7 Plus debuted with a price tag of €300/$335 for the base variant with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while Nokia X71 starts from about €350/$393. Samsung still did not reveal the pricing of the Galaxy A70. With the actual info, the Galaxy A70 wins the comparison with better performance, amazing cameras, and a huge battery, but if it will cost more than $450, then its value for money might not be so high.

A new Nokia smartphone with model number TA-1172 has received approval from China’s TENAA telecom authority. The TENAA listing has preliminary information of the smartphone and it also contains its images. The photos of the TA-1172 suggest that it is a Chinese version of the Nokia X71 smartphone that was recently announced in Taiwan.

Nokia TA-1172 TENAA Listing

The Nokia TA-1172 TENAA listing shows that it measures 156.89 x 76.15 x 7.98mm. The smartphone is fitted with a 6.39-inch display. A minimum capacity battery of 3,400mAh is present inside the phone. The TENAA images of the Nokia TA-1172 show that it is identical to the Nokia X71 since it is equipped with a punch-hole display and a rear-mounted triple camera module.

Could the Nokia TA-1172 arriving as Nokia 6.2 to China and other countries? Two entries of Nokia X71 and Nokia 6 (2019) (also known as Nokia 6.2) was recently spotted on OTA firmware with the same TAS codename on FIH servers. This suggested that the Nokia X71 could be hitting the Chinese markets as Nokia 6.2.

Nokia X71 Specifications and Price

The Nokia X71 is the first Nokia phone with a punch-hole display. The IPS LCD display supports full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2316 pixels. The camera hole houses an f/2.0 aperture 16-megapixel selfie camera. The smartphone offers 93 percent screen-to-body ratio.

HMD Global announced a brand new midrange for the Asian market which will probably hit the global market soon under another moniker. The Nokia X71 is a very interesting handset for both its aesthetics and camera department, and it will be an important competitor of both the Huawei P30 Lite and the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE that represent some of the most important mid-end devices of the moment. Here is a specs comparison that will clear your ideas about these three well-balanced phones. After reading the comparison and discovering who is the winner, you can let us know if you agree with us by using the comment box under the article.

Nokia X71 vs Huawei P30 Lite vs Xiaomi Mi 9 SE

Design

When it comes to the look it is all about tastes, but I personally prefer the most innovative designs made with the best material. And that is why I would go for the Nokia X71. It is the first Nokia phone to come with a punch-hole display, something that Xiaomi still did not try. It boasts a glass back and a solid aluminum frame. But someone may prefer the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE due to its clean and reflective glass back, as it comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner and wonderful gradient colors. Even Huawei P30 Lite is all but an ugly phone with its amazing glass back and a high screen-to-body ratio. But the punch-hole display makes me go for the Nokia X71.

Display

While Nokia X71 provides the most gorgeous front panel thanks to the punch-hole display, the phone with the best display quality is definitely the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. It is the only to boast a Super AMOLED panel made by Samsung which provides more vivid colors as well as deeper blacks. This display is even HDR-compliant, so it comes with outstanding color reproduction, especially in video contents. Nokia X71 and Huawei P30 Lite are more or less at the same level when it comes to the display quality, but the Huawei P30 Lite comes with a smaller display that may be less comfortable for productivity but it is also easier to use with one hand.

Specs & Software

Besides being the clear winner of this comparison, Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is also one of the most performing midrange smartphones in the whole market. It is equipped with the best midrange chipset by Qualcomm, which is also the best San Diego giant’s chipset if we exclude the 800 series. That is the reason why Xiaomi Mi 9 SE will be faster and smoother than Nokia X71 and Huawei P30 Lite in most of the scenarios, including gaming. I want to give the second place to the Nokia X71 because, even though the Snapdragon 660 chipset is more or less at the same level as the Kirin 710, it comes with a better GPU. Further, Nokia X71 comes with a stock Android version which is lighter than Huawei’s and Xiaomi’s customized user interfaces.

Camera

Unfortunately, we still did not test the impressive triple camera of the Nokia X71 equipped with Carl Zeiss lenses, but on the paper, Xiaomi Mi 9 SE seems to be a most convincing camera phone. It boasts a main 48 MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, a 13 MP ultrawide sensor and a telephoto lens for optical zoom. Nokia X71 is not so different as it comes with a similar setup but it has a lower resolution for the ultrawide lens, as well as a lower resolution for the front camera (16 MP vs 20 MP). Huawei P30 Lite may be a better phone for selfies given its whopping 32 MP front camera, but its rear camera should be inferior to both Xiaomi Mi 9 SE and Nokia X71.

Battery

With its bigger 3500 mAh battery, Nokia X71 should be able to last more. Huawei P30 Lite stops at the average capacity of 3340 mAh, while Xiaomi Mi 9 SE’s battery is definitely its weakest point with just 3070 mAh.

Price

Nokia X71 debuted in Taiwan with a price tag of about €350/$392, Huawei P30 Lite costs just €290/$325 globally and Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is available in China for about €300/$335. Overall, Xiaomi Mi 9 SE wins the comparison with a better display, a higher-end chipset and an amazing camera department.

Moving to the rear side of the phone reveals its vertically arranged tripe camera unit. On its left is an LED flash. A fingerprint reader is positioned below the camera setup. The image of the yesteryear Nokia N71 phone on the right side of the smartphone suggests that the company has planning to the launch the X71 with a similar name.

Nokia X71 Specifications

The leaked image has confirmed some of the key specs of the Nokia X71. The smartphone will be arriving with a 6.4-inch IPS LCD display with punch-hole that offers full HD+ resolution of 1080p. As the Geekbench listing of the phone had revealed in the previous week, the Nokia X71 is driven by Snapdragon 660 SoC and 6 GB of RAM.

The triple camera setup of the Nokia X71 features a 48-megapixel primary sensor along with 2-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensors. A 3,500mAh battery will be powering the device. The handset will be an Android One and it is very likely to run on Android 9 Pie OS. The detailed specifications of the phone are still under the wraps.

There are confusing reports surrounding the Nokia X71’s international variant. Some reports have claimed that it may debut as Nokia 6.2. Other leaks have claimed that it could be launching as Nokia 8.1 Plus. However, the leakster is quite clear that the Nokia X71 won’t be releasing as Nokia 6.2 in other markets. Well, these links show that the Finnish firm is planning to launch multiple phones with punch-hole displays. The above shown Nokia X71 has a triple camera setup. Hence, there is a possibility that the company will be also launching another punch-hole display smartphone with dual rear cameras.

The Nokia X71 is an upcoming smartphone from HMD Global. There are reports that the X71 will be released globally as the Nokia 6.2. The rear panel for the Nokia 6.2 has been seen on Amazon India and it reveals some interesting new details.

The image for the listing reveals the Nokia 6.2 will come in black and white. There may be more colors but these two are confirmed for now. There are two cut-outs on the panel – a long one for the cameras and another for the fingerprint scanner.

The Nokia X71 is said to have three rear cameras but looking at the cut-out for the cameras on the Nokia 6.2’s panel, We doubt that will take three cameras and an LED flash. That cut-out will only be able to fit two sensors while the third is for the LED flash. If it were made to fit three sensors, it will be larger.

Take a look at the Nokia 5.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 Plus which both launched first in Asia as the Nokia X5 and Nokia X6, they have a similar rear panel which houses two sensor and the LED flash while the fingerprint scanner sits underneath the setup.

If the Nokia X71 and Nokia 6.2 a.k.a. Nokia 6 2019 are the same phones then both will come with dual rear cameras and not triple rear cameras. At least based on the panel of the Nokia 6.2 shown above.

Earlier in this week, a purported email from HMD Global to some dealers in Taiwan had revealed that it will be launching a smartphone named Nokia X71 in Taiwan on April 2. Some reports claimed that it could be launching as Nokia 8.1 Plus outside of Taiwan. However, some reports that it could be arriving as Nokia 6.2 in international markets. A new leak that that surfaced today suggests that the Nokia X71 may go official as Nokia 6.2 in global markets.

Previous reports had claimed that the upcoming Nokia 6.2 (also known as Nokia 6 2019) could be codenamed as TAS which stands for Taishun. Two screenshots of FIA OTA tracker of Nokia X71 and Nokia 6 (2019) that appeared on China’s Baidu recently show they are both codenamed as TAS. This indicates that these devices are same device.

The purported email from Finnish firm had revealed that the smartphone would be arriving with a triple camera setup with 48-mgeapixel sensor and 120-degree wide-angle lens. It also stated that the phone would be arriving with a punch-hole display. It is also expected to carry support for 18W rapid charging. Earlier today, the Nokia X71 smartphone was spotted on Geekbench with specs like Android 9 Pie OS, 6 GB of RAM and Snapdragon 660. Contradictory reports from the past have claimed that the Snapdragon 632 could be powering the smartphone.

The Nokia 6.1 from last year was fueled by the Snapdragon 630. Hence, the Snapdragon 660 SoC appears suitable for the Nokia 6.2 phone.

It is speculated that the upcoming Nokia 6.2 will be hitting the market with a similar price tag.

HMD Global has a new phone coming called the Nokia X71. It is scheduled for release on Tuesday, April 2. The phone has now made an appearance on Geekbench and the benchmark result reveals some key details.

The Nokia X71 was benchmarked yesterday. It runs Android 9 Pie which is no surprise. This is HMD Global we are talking about and as far as I know, no manufacturer has a track record as great as theirs when it comes to regular updates.

What is interesting about the Nokia X71 is its processor which is revealed to be the Snapdragon 660. This is the same chipset that powers the Nokia 7 Plus and it is paired with 6GB of RAM. However, the scores are lower than that of other Snapdragon 660 phones like the Nokia 7 Plus or the Mi 8 Lite. Geekbench listings are easy to fake these days, so take this with a grain of salt.

There are reports the Nokia X71 is actually a successor to the Nokia 6.1/Nokia 6 (2018). If this is so, then the Snapdragon 660 is fitting since the Nokia 6.1 is powered by the Snapdragon 630. The original Nokia 6 launched with a Snapdragon 430 processor.

HMD Global has confirmed to some Taiwanese tech publications that it will be holding a new smartphone named Nokia X71 in Taiwan. The launch event will be held on April 2 in the country. The Finnish firm will be also announcing the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone in Taiwan alongside the Nokia X71 smartphone.

HMD Global has launched couple of smartphones with notched displays in the recent past. However, the Nokia X71 will be arriving with a better full experience than any other phone launched by the company. It could be the first phone from the company to arrive with punch-hole display.

During the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 tech expo that was held at the end of February, HMD Global had unveiled the penta-lens camera setup enabled Nokia 9 PureView smartphone and a couple of budget-friendly phones such as Nokia 3.2, Nokia 4.2 and Nokia 1 Plus. Since the company did not announce a mid-range phone at MWC 2019, the Nokia X71 could be arriving with mid-range specs. It could be arriving as a successor of the Nokia 6.1 Plus or Nokia 8.1 smartphone.

The press release by HMD Global confirms that the smartphone will be equipped with a triple camera unit that will include 48-megapixel primary sensor and 120-degree super wide-angle lens. The other specs of the phone are currently under the wraps. The Nokia TA-1167 smartphone that was recently approved by the National Communications Commission (NCC) in Taiwan. Probably, the Nokia TA-1167 could be the upcoming Nokia X71 smartphone. The NCC certification of the phone had revealed that it will be coming with the same Salcomp AD-18WU charger that was made available with the Nokia 7 Plus phone from last year.
