Nokia 7.2 renders: Upcoming Moto G7 rival revealed in new images
Nokia has got a next-generation mid-range phone up its sleeve — and new images show what we could expect to see from the smartphone upon release.
The image appears to show a thin device with a circular camera module on the rear featuring three different camera sensors and a fingerprint scanner. NokiaPowerUser claims that the specifications will run to a 6.3-inch screen, a Snapdragon 660 chip and a 48-megapixel main camera sensor. Those specs pack in plenty of potential, so we’ll have to wait and see how it compares to the other mid-range phones released recently. The Nokia 7.2 could be released as soon as September 5.

The predecessor to this device was the Nokia 7.1, which we thought had unfulfilled potential. The HDR screen and the classy design were very impressive, yet overall the device faltered due to sluggish performance and inadequate battery life. Even in general use, apps took a noticeable while to load and the keyboard suffered from lag. The battery struggled to last through a whole day of heavy usage, too. These concerning problems will need to be fixed if the Nokia. 7.2 is to be recommended.
