Why buy the Nokia 7.1? The Nokia 7.1 sounds like the best phone in its class. It’s more powerful and higher-res than the Moto One, and its camera hardware sounds more consistent than that of the Honor 8X.

On paper, it should be significantly better than the Motorola Moto One. But it isn’t. Unless you’re keen on the idea of Android One, you get even better value from the Honor Play and Honor 8X.

This will affect you if you subscribe to an O2, GiffGaff or Sky Mobile tariff.
