Even if you're a fan of the Moto G series and you're looking for something different, the Nokia 7.2 might be worth picking up.

As a normal Android smartphone, it's absolutely acceptable in this price range. The capacitive fingerprint scanner on the back works better than Face ID and in-screen fingerprint scanners. The battery life is average. The performance is tolerable.

If you are a spec hunter, you might not get too impressed by the chip on the Nokia 7.2 and might hem and haw about the battery. But if you are looking at a phone that looks premium and takes great pictures and for the most part, performs very smoothly, the 7.2 could well be the phone for you.

Of course there are phones out there with a better camera and with better specs than the Nokia 7.2, but are they worth handing over three times the amount of cash for? It really depends what you're after in a phone, but you won't be disappointed with the value-for-money proposition that the Nokia 7.2 presents.

Had your fingers crossed for a cut-price Pixel 3a alternative? The Nokia 7.2 gets tantalizingly close. It looks the part, runs a clean version of Android (with the latest version set to follow swiftly) and has a battery that should last all day.

Nokia 7.2 stands out in a sea of value for money midrange Chinese smartphones because of software support. They have a proven track record of keeping their phones updated and secure. If this is important to you, it's a no-brainer.

While I do like the Nokia 7.2's classic design and display, the phone does make compromises and the list is long. I wish the phone had a better processor and at least 6GB RAM on an entry-level model. The camera could have been better.

TechRadar | Mark Knapp

The Nokia 7.2 offers premium design and solid performance at a mid-range price. It's only when the phone tries to go above and beyond with features like a wide-angle camera that it stumbles.

As a standalone product, the Nokia 7.2 is a great mid-range smartphone. It offers a clean and smooth stock Android experience with a dependable (yet dated) Snapdragon 660 processor under the hood.

The Nokia 7.2 is a meaningful upgrade over its predecessor, adding a faster processor, more capable cameras, and a new design language that is quite appealing

HMD Global does a lot right with the Nokia 7.2, but the smartphone shows some weaknesses in detail in some areas.

Firstpost | Kshitu Pujari

A great software experience and an extremely flashy design aside, I believe that users will find no extra value for money in the Nokia 7.2.

I see this phone as good for a lot of people, but if you're a tech enthusiast looking for the latest and greatest features, it isn't for you. Instead, think of this as a device for a child that's getting their first or second phone, or someone older that just needs an accessible texting machine with a halfway-decent camera.

Make no mistake, though, you are getting what you're paying for with the Nokia 7.2. This isn't to say that you're in for any unpleasant surprises; it just means that no wonders should be expected out of this otherwise likable handset.

The Nokia 7.2 brings the best of Nordic design sensibilities and pairs it with a competitive camera and stock Android. Unfortunately, the rest of the package doesn't quite match up.

The Nokia 7.2 is a decent smartphone, but the Pixel 3a, Galaxy A50 and Moto G7 surpass it in performance and value.

Trusted Reviews | Jon Mundy

We like its sleek but practical design and sharp display, while Android One continues to do wonders with relatively limited hardware. It's an accomplished phone in most respects. What keeps the Nokia 7.2 from glowing praise is its patchy triple-camera system, which suffers from some inconsistent results and an ineffectual Night Mode.

PC Mag | Steven Winkelman

Nokia's updates simply aren't enough to keep up with what the Pixel 3a brings to the table, including faster performance and significantly better camera quality. That can change if Nokia releases a 7.3 in the near future, but for now, the Pixel 3a remains our Editors' Choice.

What makes Nokia 7.2 a buy are the cameras, design and timely Android OS updates.

AndroidPit | David McCourt

The Nokia 7.2 is a smartphone for the kind of user who wants a fun, feature-rich camera to play around with but does not really need the best quality results from their shots. Add to that, this customer must be willing to sacrifice everyday performance, be willing to forget about the most demanding games, and not mind charging their phone every eight or nine hours.

The Verge | Cameron Faulkner

No other phone in this price range offers its alluring combo of 128GB of onboard storage by default; a svelte, matte glass design; and stock Android software with guaranteed updates. Its strengths even make it a convincing choice among other midrange phones.

Digital Trends | Julian Chokkattu

The Nokia 7.2 great build quality with a nice design, a strong screen experience, along with decent performance and battery life. Its camera system is solid, but it doesn't hold up to competitors like Google's Pixel 3a.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

It excels in many areas, including design, performance and display quality. Yet the battery life issues are a serious threat to any potential recommendation.
