Nokia 7 plus review

[sfrost72]

Hi all,
As an owner of the 7 plus I'm impressed with the phone I have had it for just under a week now.

So upsides of the phone.
Battery life is brilliant I'd call myself a heavy user I tend to stream alot of music use WhatsApp Google maps etc most of the day and still have about 50 per cent battery left after about 7 hours of use.

Camera is top class as you would expect from Nokia.

Headphones that come supplied with the phone are very good all round and deals with the bass with no issues.

Downsides.

Screen scratches very easy so screen protector is a must.

Lack of being waterproof is a small issue

The phone itself feels solid and works well for a mid price phone it's worth having.

hey. thanks for the heads up in the screen. I put a glass protector on mine immediately but it's not a great fit so I'll need to get a better one. I'd be gutted if I scratched the screen!!!

I'm gutted but at least I can warn others before it happens to them.

how did you scratch your phone. I've had it over a week and have just ordered my screen protectors which I hate because they're a nightmare to put on,but saying that,Ive had the phone in my pocket with keys and money and it's been fine.Gorilla glass 3 is fairly good.Though I will definitely get the screen protector on as soon as I can.Also watch out for the copper edges.Apperently they dent and chip easily

let us know how you get on with the screen protectors you try. I use the glass ones which are pretty easy to install but the ones I got for the 7 plus are not a great size so looking for other options.

the whole scratch thing is a real pain. my last phone I had to change because the camera lens got all scratched up. it looked like someone had tried to colour it in with a key or something - there were so many scratches on it, and they all happened at same time.

there only minor ones not very deep and most likely coins keys the normal bloke stuff in pockets

I got olixar invisible screen protector this morning but made a complete hash of it and wasted the two of them.I ordered crystalusion liquid glass for a change. Fed up with screen protectors,always cause issues.Im being careful now to put the phone in my other pocket away from keys etc
