Nokia 7.1 sales go live today in India, priced at Rs 19,999

HMD Global has launched its latest mid-range smartphone the Nokia 7.1 in India last week with a price tag of Rs 19,999. The smartphone had gone up for pre-orders two days ago and now, the smartphone's sale has gone live here in the country. The Nokia 7.1 is available to purchase online from nokia.com/phones and across authorized offline retail stores in India. The online and offline availability of the device is the primary reason why it carries a slightly hefty price tag as compared to its precursor Nokia 6.1.

One of the major highlights of Nokia 7.1 is that the device comes under the Android One program. This means that it will be first in line when it comes to receiving the Android updates and security patches timely. While the smartphone ships with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box, it is expected that it will receive its first Android 9 Pie update soon in the coming days. It is expected the device will receive the update once it has been switched on and is connected to the internet over Wi-Fi.
