Nokia 7.1 specifications and features

The Nokia 7.1 features a 5.84-inch Full HD+ notched display with a 19:9 screen ratio display. The company claims that with PureView technology, the non-HDR content can be up-scaled in real-time using a dedicated 16-bit engine. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC, which also powers the Nokia 6.1 Plus and a few other phones in the same segment. It joins other Nokia smartphones in the Android One family and runs on stock Android 9 Pie. The USB type-C fast charging port is said to help top up 50 percent of the phone’s 3060mAh battery in 30 mins.

Coming to the optics, the Nokia 7.1 sports ZEISS Optics dual-camera setup on the back with 12MP and 5MP sensors. While the 12MP camera has f1.8 aperture and 1.28um pixel size, and the secondary 5MP shooter has an f2.4 aperture and 1.12um pixel size. The sensors are equipped with photodiodes (2PD) technology that is supposed to help them absorb more light than devices with a single photodiode, of the same number of pixels. 2PD technology enables fast and accurate autofocus in both bright and low light conditions. The sensors also come with the Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) technology. On the front is an 8MP camera with f2.0 aperture.
