According to HMD Global, it will soon be updated to Android 9 Pie.
That Nokia 7.1 is the first Nokia phone designed with a PureDisplay screen means its display supports HDR, which ensures more contrast and better quality. This capability will further offer you more immersive viewing pleasure as online video-sharing platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, etc. support HDR content. It’s also interesting to note that the device, using its HDR10 support, provides a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 with remarkable detail and radiant colours. It can also upscale SDR video content into HDR. Nokia 7.1 is designed with 5.84” touchscreen display that offers a resolution of 1,080 pixels by 2,280 pixels.

Yes, for people that order it from online stores in the US. However, when the phone gets to Nigerian markets, the prices will be higher for reasons such as shipping cost, transportation cost within the country, among other factors. I feel Nokia 7.1’s price will be in the neighbourhood of 143,000 (NGN). Thanks
