The Nokia 7.1 is bundled with an 18W charger and a USB Type-C cable. HMD is also providing a headset in the retail package, but our review bundle is missing this.
The contents of the retail box may vary by region, so we recommend checking with your local Nokia website.
The only real problem I've had with the Nokia 7.1 is the USB charging & connection port. The port will fail to connect properly after a very few number of connections. However, a replacement port kit can be purchased from Amazon or Newegg fo...
