using a nokia 7 plus from past 8 months. SD 660 works excellent. There were couple of problems arised 1) charging port malfunction 2) at around 70% charging phone heats up like hell and gives warning to remove from charging. Gave the phone for under warranty service to nokia some 10 days back and waiting waiting. meanwhile bought a samsung M20 as back up phone and believe me its an excellent phone in that budget, i did see only difference from nokia 7 plus is its processor speed, but exynos also very good processor for moderate usage.

I have been using Nokia 7.1 and experiencing same heating problems while charging. But if the phone is kept under a fan or cool place, this is not happening.!
If its under warranty, please send it to service center and avail if free replacement is required to be done. Becoz the new samsung M20 never heats up that abnormally. Many people told me that nokia for 7 plus they used some aluminium alloy so thats the reason, but i dont buy that logic as my previous iphone 6s also had a metal body but never heats up. I seriously suspect its a battery issue.
