Some days ago, HMD unveiled the Nokia 7 flagship device in China and for now, this device is exclusive to the Chinese market. During the launch, HMD said that Nokia 7 is the first of its kind from the company stating that in time past, Nokia didn’t really care about design, rather, it focused on hardware parameters and strength of the phone. However, Nokia 7 is a premium, elegant, and beautiful smartphone.
Reports out of China shows that this device has attracted a lot of attention in China and after less than two days, it has officially surpassed 50,000 registrations. This figure is nowhere near the likes of Xiaomi and Huawei but it is quite good considering that Nokia is not a Chinese brand. On October 24th, Nokia 7 will commence sales and will be available in 4GB+64GB and 6GB+64GB variants which should cost 2,499 Yuan ($377) and 2,699 Yuan ($407) respectively.
