Best Alternate of N7P

vikssharma · May 2021

Hi guys,

It's almost 3 year for using a single smart phone i.e our N7P. Before this phone I changed my phone in every 6-8 months. Bt after getting N7P I m fully satisfied with Camera, gaming and all other work.

Android one Fluidity and Nokia Update makes it more lovable.

So Guy's Now I want to buy N7P alternative means a new phone.

Please suggest me another Nokia or any other android One phone for a long term use.

After Android One I think I Never like UI like Miui or Realms UI because of pathetic bloatwares.

I got me the Google Pixel 4a 5G and I am all over totally satisfied. Especially timely updates and three years of guaranteed OS updates is what I like. It works like a charme, fluid, pure Android, no bloatware at all and last but not least, if you want to experiment with custom ROMs, bootloader unlocking works in an instant. It's a bit more expensive, but if you compare it to the lifetime of the device it's absolutely Okay. And the price already went down.

I think you will have issues with 5g offered by Pixel in India. Seems like Pixels 5g was sought of interfering with the radio waves used by the defense sector, hence pixel didn't launch 5G phone like 4a 5g or Pixel 5 in India.

Pixel 4a is also a good alternative. Heard positive reviews from my friends using it.

MotoG 5G is also a good option as it has many bands available for users. Also it's almost stock.

Motorola has android one program phones on sale. Pixel is the best IMO. Lots of phones to choose from.

I had a Moto before... Never ever again... If updates from Nokia are worse, Moto are worst...

If you need perfection than pixel is the only option. Fluid and bloatfree experience. Well engineered and highly optimised phone.

Camera is exceptionally good , if you do not want retakes and best low light shots than there is nothing which can beat the quality of pixel. Thanks to their software optimization.

In-hand feel , light weight and the ease to use the phone with just one hand is something I love , specially with a device which lies with you 24/7.

Also you get the advantage of unlimited google photos backup option with pixel.

You can wait for few months for pixel 5a to launch in India or go for 4a now.

5a is expected to come out of box with android 12 and rest all specs very similar to 4a 5g.

I think it is the case only with pixel 4 because of Soli radar technology(for gestures) used in it. While pixel 4a , 4a5g & 5 do not have any such technology used. There are other reasons why google didnt launch 4a5g & 5 in India.

There is very high chance that upcoming 5a will be launched in Indian market.

I understand you. Was 3 good years, whit good things and some dissappointment. Like the cam app, is unbelivable how bad are the fotos in compataration whit gcam app, the diferences are sideral, the face unlock. But general feeling are positive. Here in Europe Nokia are selling 8.3 5g whit earbound lite per 350 € that was the price of N7+ i think is a good and natural replacement

Yes that is a great deal ( in fact, 3 weeks ago I bought N 8.3 + case + power earbuds and I just paid 329 €). Currently, It costs only 299 € in Nokia web store in Spain ( without the earbuds). At those prices It's a a very good option to replace N 7+

Had the Nexus 4 and 5 (they were really great), 6 was too expensive for me. The Pixels are equal to them, a bit more expensive, but still okay...

Maybe you should wait for the Nokia X20. Hopefully, it will come to India. It has an SD480 but it is more powerful than the old SD660. Comes with longer software support, a nice design, and all the essentials. You will miss that Premium metal build of the Nokia 7 Plus but there is no option available as almost all phones nowadays are made from Polycarbonate. But you will have to wait and see if Nokia Mobile brings the Nokia X20 to India or not.

Yes exactly. I fancy about pixel 4, 5 or should i wait for 6. Wife has Motorola G pro phone and is happy whit it. Nokia G 20 sound good on paper, i'm just a dissapointed nokia 7+ customer.
