HMD Global has announced its latest “flagship hero”, the Nokia 7 Plus, is now available to purchase in Australia, stocked at Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi for $649.

The 7 Plus further expands Nokia’s presence in the local market, following the recently released Nokia 6, Nokia 1, Nokia 8 Sirocco [further information available here].

The new 6-inch Nokia 7 Plus features a 18:9 Full HD+ display screen, which claims to be “perfect” for “gaming and entertainment”.

Featuring a “ceramic-feel coating” the Nokia 7 Plus claims to offer a “tactile feel”, whilst aesthetically hiding antenna lines.
