Nokia 7.1 Review

If you’re looking for a feature-packed smartphone but don’t want to shell out big bucks, you may want to consider the Nokia 7.1. Ahead of Prime Day (which officially starts on July 15), Amazon is offering the unlocked 4G LTE model (camera blue version) of this phone on sale. It usually rings in at $350, but the online giant has slashed its price down to $300.

The Nokia 7.1 packs everything you would want in a smartphone: A capable camera, uncluttered software, solid performance, and excellent build quality. At $300, it remains a budget smartphone that’s hard to beat.

In terms of design, Nokia got it right with the 7.1. Its aluminum body exudes a kind of regality that doesn’t look like a budget phone at all. There are a dual-camera module and a fingerprint sensor at the back, a headphone jack at the top, a USB Type-C charging port and a speaker at the bottom, and power and volume buttons on the right edge.

This smartphone sports a Full HD 5.8-inch edge-to-edge notched screen protected by Gorilla Glass 3. It’s powered by the PureDisplay technology with an impressive resolution of 2,280 x 1,080, resulting in sharp picture quality and vibrant colors perfect for watching videos and movies. It also supports HDR10 which provides wide color support and stronger contrast when watching HDR-supported content from apps like YouTube or Netflix.

Under the hood, the Nokia 7.1 packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 processor with 4GB of RAM. Opening and switching between apps is smooth, although there are occasional lags when juggling multiple tasks at the same time. Most games also run without a hitch except for titles with heavy graphics. The phone runs on Android One, a Google-designed software that’s speedy and easy to use. Regular software upgrades ensure that your phone stays updated with Google innovations and security.

While low-light performance isn’t its strong point, the Nokia 7.1 proves to be an efficient camera — photos are accurate in color and daylight shots are detailed. The depth-sensing rear cameras’ Zeiss Optics technology captures professional-looking photos with effortless bokeh blur effect. Other impressive camera functions include the Portrait mode where the background is blurred, the Pro mode that allows you to adjust settings, and the HMD’s “Bothie” mode which lets you take a photo with the front and rear cameras simultaneously.

The Nokia 7.1 is the perfect combo of substance and style. We even gave it a high 8-out-of-10 rating when we reviewed it last year, noting that’s is the best phone you can buy under $400. Take advantage of Amazon’s pre-Prime Day offering and order this phone today for only $300.

Why you should buy the 75-inch Hisense U7G QLED 4K TV
Retailers other than Amazon are joining the Prime Day action, and Walmart Prime Day deals are some of the best ones to check out if you're specifically in the market for a new television. This Hisense 75-inch TV Prime Day deal is a particularly juicy one for anybody who wants to add a big-screen QLED 4K smart television to their home.

We gave these earbuds a 9/10, but at their Prime Day price, they’re an 11/10
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro.

What I love about Prime Day is that, if you look closely, you can find huge discounts on products that are already so good, they don't need any discount at all. A perfect example is Soundcore's Liberty 3 Pro wireless earbuds. When they debuted at $170, I thought they were so good, I gave them a 9/10 rating in my review, and issued them Digital Trends' Editor's Choice award. But these ratings and awards are always a balancing act between price and performance, so now that these buds are 47% off for Prime Day, and selling for just $90? I'm going to 11.

My enthusiasm for this deal really is all about price. When you review as many wireless earbuds as I do, you quickly get a sense of what you can expect from different models at different prices, and your senses start to tingle when a product exceeds those expectations. If you read my in-depth review of the Liberty 3 Pro, you'll see they had already managed to do that at $170. With an absolutely killer feature set that includes wireless charging, active noise cancellation (ANC), transparency, EQ and control customization, hi-res audio support, Bluetooth Multipoint, and wear sensors for music auto-pause, they provide more sheer technical prowess than some earbuds that cost twice as much.

Why you should buy the Amazon Smart Thermostat
While the Google Nest Thermostat may get all of the attention when it comes to the best smart home devices, it’s pricey and isn’t necessarily the best device for everyone. The Amazon Smart Thermostat is a comparable device at a much more reasonable price point, and it’s just as easy a way to switch from a traditional thermostat and help reduce energy usage in your home. It’s an Energy Star-certified thermostat, and even has an Energy Dashboard that helps you understand the energy usage of various devices in your home.
