Released September 2019, the Nokia 7.2 is a great mid-range smartphone still selling in a number of countries with a price of around $349 in USA. The price might vary slightly depending on the amount of RAM and the store you're buying from.
The Nokia 7.2 is seen as the successor of the Nokia 7.1 and is yet to get a successor but with the introduction of the X and G series we might not get a Nokia 7.3 after HMD changed its phone naming convention.
Known for it's midrange specs, it was one of the most beautiful phones at the market during it's launch and is still looking good even now. There are a number of 2021 phones still featuring a waterdrop notch and a bottom chin just like this phone.

The recently launched Oppo Reno 5F has a similar bottom chin as the Nokia7.2, and the likes of Samsung Galaxy A32 still feature a waterdrop notch instead of the punch hole which is largely seen as a 2021 feature.
The Nokia 7.2 features a 6.3 inch FHD+ display and was among the first phones to have HDR10 support. While we don't expect it to have a 90 Hz screen refresh rate, this phone's display is quite good with sharp rich color rendering good for gaming or videos. It is however an LCD Screen something which could slightly disadvantage it against many of it's Competitors who have OLED displays.
It also comes with Android 9.0 (pie) out of the box upgradable to Android 10. The Nokia 7.2 is also part of Android one program which ensures a clean Android interface with zero bloatware and ads as well timely security and software updates.
The 7.2 has a number of downsides including the low rated processor and the small battery.

Pricing and Competition.
The Nokia 7.2 is available in two variants of 4GB and 6GB with 64 or 128 GB internal storage. The 128GB variant is retailing at around $349 though you might be lucky to get a slightly better deal if you take your time to shop around.

Though the 7.2 is quite an attractive phone with detailed finishes and good ZEISS cameras, it's going to face quite a Stiff Competition from the likes of Xiaomi mi note 9, note 8 pro and the Samsung galaxy A50.
Looking at how this device is engineered we can say that sales were not the number one priority for HMD global when designing this phone, but rather the quality finish, high tech cameras and display technology that only a brand like Nokia can deliver.
