Case, Equipment and Operation

We really like the quality of Nokia 7.2's workmanship. The gap dimensions fit perfectly and the panel is comparatively insensitive to pressure. Moreover, our green test device is really chic and the matt glass back is less susceptible to fingerprints.



The operating system is Android 9.0 Pie. As the Nokia 7.2 also uses Android One, regular updates can be expected for two years, Android 10 will be distributed until the beginning of 2020.



The mobile radio frequency coverage is completely sufficient for the European area and HMD Global provides the Nokia mobile phone with a fast WLAN module, which shows stable transmission rates in the test.



The microSD card slot officially supports media up to a size of 512 GB, but does not support the exFAT file system. The USB 2.0 port (Type-C) supports USB OTG and Power Delivery, but cannot be used for image output. NFC, Bluetooth 5.0 and an analogue radio receiver make the equipment almost complete. The Nokia 7.2 is also advanced in GNSS support and can process single-band signals from GPS, Glonass, BeiDou, QZSS and Galileo.



The physical keys have a little play in the case, but clearly defined pressure points. There's also a dedicated button for the Google Assistant and a fingerprint sensor on the back that does its job quite reliably and takes the user straight to the surface. Alternatively, less reliable 2D face recognition is also available.
