HMD Global brought some skilled Android mid-range smartphones in its first ever IFA show. These are the Nokia 7.2 and Nokia 6.2. Both phones are almost the same, with the 7.2 serving as a sort of Pro version with better cameras and faster chipset. Read on as you set your eyes on their full specifications and prices as well as release dates into the markets.
Nokia 7.2 Features
The Nokia 7.2 has a triple camera placed on a round camera stand on the back. The main camera has a large ½ inch sensor with 48MP resolution. HMD packed the camera with image processing magic to ensure great image quality – pixel binning is combined with image fusion and stacking. HDR shots combine up to 6 photos; the dedicated Night mode can go up to 20 on a tripod (10 if handheld).

The second camera is an 8MP ultra wide-angle shooter, while the third is a 5MP depth sensor which enables some ZEISS-branded effects names three bokeh – Modern, Swirl, and Smooth.
The 20MP selfie camera can also utilize 4-in-1 pixel binning to enhance image quality. It and the rear cameras sport ZEISS lenses, of course. This front camera is in a teardrop notch on the 6.3” LCD display. The display has 1080p+ resolution. It’s HDR10-enabled for streaming content (e.g. Amazon) and can upconvert SD footage into HDR
The Nokia 7.2 is powered by Snapdragon 660 chipset (HMD is not very adventurous with chipsets). The 660 is fast enough, but will not set the world on fire. It is coupled with 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB storage (eMMC). The card slot can hold two SIMs and a microSD card up to 512GB.

It packs a 3500mAh battery with standard 10W charging over USB-C. The other wired connector is a 3.5mm headphone jack. You could use Bluetooth with aptX, if you want to go wireless
