The phone has a triple camera placed on a round camera island on the back. The main camera uses a large 1/2” sensor with 48MP resolution. HMD packed it with image processing magic to ensure great image quality – pixel binning is combined with image fusion and stacking. HDR shots combine up to 6 photos, the dedicated Night mode can go up to 20 on a tripod (10 if handheld).

The second camera is an 8MP ultra wide-angle shooter (118°). Finally, a 5MP depth sensor enables some ZEISS-branded effects, namely three bokeh styles – Modern, Swirl and Smooth.

The 20MP selfie camera can also utilize 4-in-1 pixel binning to enhance image quality. It and the rear cameras sport ZEISS lenses, of course.

This front camera is in a teardrop notch on the 6.3” LCD display. The display has 1080p+ resolution. It’s HDR10-enabled for streaming content (e.g. Amazon) and can upconvert SD footage into HDR.

The Nokia 7.2 is powered by the tried and true Snapdragon 660 chipset (HMD is not very adventurous with chipsets). The 660 is fast enough, but won’t set the world on fire. It’s coupled with 4/6GB of RAM and 64/128GB storage (eMMC). The card slot can hold two SIMs and a microSD card up to 512GB.

The phone runs Android 9 Pie out of the box and HMD has committed to update to Android 10 (HMD has been very fast in releasing updates). The phone will receive OS upgrades for 2 years and monthly security updates for 3 years.

The 7.2 packs a 3,500mAh battery with standard 10W charging over USB-C. The other wired connector is a 3.5mm headphone jack. You could use Bluetooth with aptX, if you want to go wireless.

The Nokia 7.2 will be available at the end of September starting at €300 for the 4/65GB model. There are three color options: Cyan Green, Charcoal and Ice.

Well, should have GCam support, so the 1080p/60fps is not an issue I think, would need to see some people using the GCam app on it before pronouncing camera good/bad.
The smaller battery is a weird move, plus the lack of Quick Charge support, though it should still be able to get through a day's usage for most.

This phone seems disappointing for the price tag, I am now worried what the 7 Plus successor will look like.

Differences for night sight are insane, even my 7 Plus isn't as pronounced a difference as here, but Night Sight is one of GCam's greatest strengths compared to most OEM:
730931
730933
730935
730937
Note I reduced it to 30% of size, so 35MB to <2MB.

If you look at the rest of the photos, Nokia's camera app is very far from good. I'd probably even install Open Camera as a stop-gap.
