As to whether you should buy or not, don't hesitate if your budget allows it. You can't get a better device.

The Nokia 7.1 is a marvel to me. It's not the best phone in the world, it doesn't have the best screen, the best battery, the best performance, but after nearly 3 weeks, I don't care, because I love using the phone.

Android Central | Joe Maring

Nokia knocked it out of the park with the Nokia 7.1. It looks and feels great, has a gorgeous display, excellent battery life, and much more. Performance can be a little sluggish at times, but for its price you're getting far more than your money's worth.

Overall, Nokia 7.1 is an impressive phone, but its battery fails it.

The Nokia 7.1 is a good-looking device offering solid performance. However, neither battery life nor connectivity are on a par with its competitors.

The Indian Express | Hansa Verma

Nokia 7.1 is one of the most good-looking phones in this price segment in my opinion and the display stands out as well. Plus, you get Android Pie experience on this budget device.

It's no match for the higher-end phones on the market, but, again, this phone costs much less and looks like it should cost way more.

Nokia has quietly released one of the most exciting inexpensive phones of the year in the Nokia 7.1, a well-designed phone that delivers first-rate performance.

India Today | Sanket Vijayasarathy

The Nokia 7.1 is just a more polished Nokia 6.1 Plus and at the end of the day you will have to ask yourself whether you're willing to spend a little extra for a few premium features. The few new technologies such as the PureDisplay screen offers a noticeable improvement in the display.

The Nokia 7.1 isn't a device without caveats but I think it's one that'll pay off for those looking to get a decent smartphone at a decent price.

The Inquirer | Roland Moore-Colyer

If you want a mid-range phone then the Nokia 7.1 won't disappoint, just don't go expecting the world. It's best to have a good look around at what else is in the same price range.

If you're an RGB-loving gamer there's a good chance the Razer Phone 2 will push your buttons. Given that our reviews aren't just for gamers, though, luxuries like a 120Hz display and illuminating back aren't enough to bump up its score beyond a 3.5

Android Authority | Adam Sinicki

Like the Motorola One before it, the Nokia 7.1 is a good phone that simply can't compete with the best from Honor and Xiaomi. The biggest letdown here being the performance, which is a mar on an otherwise well-designed and pleasing device.

Trusted Reviews | Andrew Williams

On paper, the Nokia 7.1 looks like one of the best phones at the price, but it's let down by poor battery life and general performance.

HMD is offering us a rather promising smartphone, which despite its obvious flaws, hasn't succeed in convincing us. All in all, the device's potential has mostly gone to waste.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
