Now this phone did not have much competition back then, but now Xiaomi has launched the a 2 that offers similar hardware to the Nokia 7 plus. What's interesting about the, a 2 is the price. Now Xiaomi is priced it at sixteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees, which makes it a massive nine thousand rupee cheaper than the Nokia. Seven plus now has Xiaomi cut corners to meet the price, or is the Xiaomi mean a to actually a more value for money? Smartphone we put the a two, and the Nokia, seven plus in a head-to-head to find out looks, are entirely subjective, but there are quite a few similarities in the construction of these smartphones.

Both have a metal, unibody design, a dual camera setup at the back and feel premium in the hand. The seven plus has a ceramic coating on the back, which gives it a smooth finish.

Both phones come with a case in the box, which can be used to keep them safe.

The seven plus is available in two color variants, while the two gives you. Four options to choose from button placements are identical on the two phones, and both these phones have a USB type-c port at the bottom, along with a loudspeaker and the primary microphone. Interestingly, the a two misses out on a headphone jack, but sports, an IR blaster on the top Xiaomi ships, a USB type-c, the 3.5 mm headphone jack dongle in the box, which you will need to use for existing headphones. The seventh plus, on the other hand, has a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The Nokia 7 plus, is also slightly heavier than the a 2.

If we have to pick between the two purely based on design, we will pick the 7 plus it feels better built and has copper design elements that look unique.

The Nokia 7 plus, has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection, while the sharing, a 2, has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the display.

The bigger 3800 William hour battery on the 7 plus has support for quick charge. While the a 2, has a smaller 3000 William hour battery and has support for quick charge.4 plus, we observed that the 7 plus takes the same time to charge as the a tool despite having a bigger battery thanks to the supplied, fast charger, as both these smartphones are a part of the Android one program both run on Android 8.1 Oreo with the other security patch at the time of shooting this video, you won't find a lot of differences in terms of software, but we did find more usable gestures on the Nokia 7 plus, since both our Android 1 smartphones. You can expect timely software updates from both these devices.

HMD global could be faster to roll out Android Pi for the Nokia 7 plus, since this device was already a part of the Android P beta program. With both these devices running similar hardware, we were not surprised to see that these code. Similarly, in our test, the phones have identical performance by scrolling through the menus and multitasking as well. One difference we observed was that the a2 was faster when using the stock gesture to launch the camera by double tapping the power button. Since the matching capacities are different on these phones, there is a difference in the battery life they offer.

The Nokia 7 plus has better battery life compared to the, a 2 in our HD video loop test, the 7 + went on for 13 hours and 31 minutes, and the e2 could only do 8 hours and 13 minutes.

Both phones have Pro Mode that lets you control different parameters before shooting the one on the ? also lets you choose the lens you want to shoot from the 7. + has ice optics at the front and the back when shooting out those in bright light. We found that the Nokia 7 plus managed metering and colors better than the mean a 2 resulting in a better image zoom into the image, and you will notice that 7 plus captures better details in comparison when shooting with auto HDR.

The 2 indicates when it is using HDR weather 7. + does not do that in macros. The a 2 gets the white balance right and can focus on small object very well. Well, the Nokia 7 + fails to get these right. The a 2, also managed to get better details in comparison in low-light shots.

It is the Nokia that comes on the top with better GTA's, as the Xiaomi tends to lose out on it. Even objects at a distance appears sharper from the Nokia 7 +, while the Xiaomi me a to fill slightly behind when clicking portraits is the Nokia switches to the telephoto lens, while using the primary camera for depth, it manages good edge detection and a good both effect in the output. You will need to go closer to the subject when clicking with the a 2, since it does not have a telephoto lens. The output is also good and well. Detailed.

The a 2 also has the ability to be sure at 60fps, while recording at 1080p, while the Nokia seven-plus can only do 30fps. The video output is similar, but we like the audio quality on the seventh plus, as it uses three microphones with Nokia orzo audio.

The 3.5 mm headphone jack and expandable storage, now, barring macros, the camera performance is better and so is the battery life.
