Nokia 7.2

Android One promises fast updates ; Elegant design, nice build quality ; Large and modern-looking screen ; Adequate battery life ; Affordable

Tidy and tough polycarbonate design;Clean Android One software;Flexible, impressively specced camera

Camera extremely inconsistent;Night Mode ineffective;Battery life pretty ordinary

Attractive design. Android One software. Bright display with accurate colors.

Weak low-light camera performance. Tinny speaker.

The Nokia 7.2 offers solid performance, nice build quality, and the promise of timely software updates. It's a better phone than the 7.1, and yet it we're giving it a lower score. That's because, as we noted earlier, things move quickly in the...

Grippy, good-looking design ; Pure Android, with updates to follow ; Few compromises for the cash

Pixel 3a still the budget camera king ; Lacks power for demanding 3D games ; Rivals even cheaper

Not quite the best cheap phone around, but as close as Nokia has ever come to capturing the gold.

Low price tag Powerful 48MP camera Fairly good looking device

Google Assistant button is inconvenient Video recording quality is poor Camera bump is rather thick

Swish design ; Outperforms other £300 phones ; Decent array of cameras for the price

Poor battery life ; 48MP shooting mode isn’t great

I really wanted to like the Nokia 7.2. I've been a fan of HMD Global's recent output and I even didn't dislike the Nokia 9 PureView as much as some others in the industry. The 8.1, in particular, I thought was great. So it is with a bit of a heavy...
