Since HMD Global’s Nokia 7 had been launched in China, it’s time. Time to pit it against its Nokia 8 successor and Nokia 6 predecessor. May there be obvious differences, there are some similarities in the features on two of the three devices.
Such similarities include the Nokia 7 and 8’s dual sight “Bothie” camera feature and Nokia’s OZO audio. Yet, the Nokia 6 isn’t equipped with that but still has the largest screen. All the three devices also have a 4GB RAM variant of their own. Whilst the Nokia 7 and 8 has a 6GB RAM model.
