MAKATI, Philippines – Nokia 7.2, the first smartphone from HMD Global to feature a triple-camera module, is officially coming to the Philippines.
Following the success of the Nokia 7 line, the Nokia 7.2 touts a 48MP f/1.79 camera with ZEISS optics and two additional sensors: an 8MP f/2.2 wide-angle (118 degree) sensor and a 5MP depth sensor.
It features special “portrait modes” where the bokeh simulates art lenses by taking on the shape of a heart, star, or a swirling background.
Like the Nokia 3.2, its 6.3-inch screen has a waterdrop notch to make room for the 20MP front-facing camera.
It runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 platform with its octa-core (4 x 2.2GHz + 4 x 1.8GHz) CPU and an Adreno 512 GPU.
Internationally, the Nokia 7.2 comes in multiple variants, however, in the Philippines, HMD will only be releasing the 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM (storage) model. Two colors will be available: Charcoal and Cyan Green.
A member of the Android One program, Nokia 7.2 runs near-stock Android 9 (Pie) out of the box, with support for Android 10 via OTA (over-the-air) update when it comes out.
Nokia retains the 3.5mm audio jack, while data transfer and power delivery is supported via USB Type-C connector with OTG support.
