I got it for around 170 US dollars on sale in Saudi Arabia and in UAE its also available there which makes it an unbeatable deal when you think of value for the money you spent!
I'm currently using a Nokia 7.2 which I bought nearly 4 years ago. Sadly, there are no more security updates available for this Android 11, so I'm looking for a new phone. I've never used anything but Nokia phones. I bought N9 just as they were closing down the mobile business, skipped the Lumia-phase entirely and used N9 for five years, until I was able to buy the next proper Nokia phone. My N9 even recovered nicely from a bath in the waching machine. A clear sign of being a Nokia-owner is this: When you drop your phone on the floor, your first instict is to check if the phone made a mark on your wooden floor 😁
@@juholuomala8414 My husband worked in the development of N9 so of course I had to buy the phone. I loved it dearly, it was just the right size. The next phone after that felt gigantic.
Just ordered the 6GB/128GB today imported from Amazon UK. Got it for $140 usd sold & dispatched by Amazon in purple after import tax. Super excited to try Nokia again. Budget options in the U.S. are abysmally lackluster compared to what overseas offers.
I think it's Ok-ish for day to day use for people who are not into playing mobile games but doing generic things like browsing, watching netflix, youtube etc etc, great review
@@ashdoestech just was thinking of the durability of self repair as a nightmare with any network got that free battery thing but don't want a factory reset phone coming back lol
Phones the Mrs and I use. Great device and does what it needs to do, makes calls and messages. Don't play games on it, not a mobile gamer. So for us, it is perfect. Good video.
@@doppifity ok thanks may I know the display quality of nokia like 16 million colours hardly people buy nokia here in Mumbai mostly MI and samsung are in form
I'm taking mine back to Argos, it keeps cutting off what I view on Tiktok and the keyboard keys are too small. Some text is incomplete and the camera is glitchy.. I really don't like using it.
Good post, I was going to actually swap my Samsung A14 5g for the Nokia g42,but after reading your post I think I'll stick to my Samsung. Thank you 😊 😊😊
@@princemo2040 Yes, like it. Take videos of family, on holiday and just in general. Quality of pic's etc is good for what i need. I use it to fly a drone, does it well very clear. Nice size phone, very sturdy, put a silicon cover to protect phone. Battery life between chargers, very good and doesn't need charging as much as my Samsung did. Very pleased...
hey dude, i am a light user i won't use my phone much i brought the same phone i need to take care of my kid while working My child is good at throwing things sorry to ask like this. is this phone strong or week i want a super strong phone which won't break easily please suggest
If that is your situation I would highly recommend another Nokia model called XR20 or the newer one XR21 but I would still go for XR20 since it's a bit cheaper by now,and if you got that beast you don't have to worry any more ...you will be a worry free mom!
It's ok but a bit bland looking. I'm not sure 5G is essential for the kind of people who go for budget phones,whenever I've actually managed to get a signal the main noticeable effect has been my battery level dropping at about double its usual rate. I'd guess that for people looking for "just a phone" a Moto G14,or even G13 would do the job, eBay and a bit of patience will get you even the later model for around £100 new
I agree, it's pretty decent but you can definitely get an equivalent or something better for less. I picked up a regular Pixel 6 for just £20 more and aside from battery life, it's miles better in every way!
I have a motorola G54 5g and the battery drains so fast so I'm looking for another budget phone but I don't know if I want another 5g phone so would you know if I bought a 5g phone and turned off the 5g will it have the same battery drain as a 4g phone.
G42 5G is not perfect for high end graphics game, like bgmi or call of duty It will crush at the middle of the game , Don't buy it if you love to play high end graphics game
I have a 3 years old poco, still beats many "high end phones" in every day use, and it was dirt cheap. I bought it just to see how bad it was (since back then it was the cheapest handset with decent specs) but it was a killer unit, just keeps going.
@stesrad I know right, iPhone is sad but the Nokia 400g am using right now is just horrible. I can't take pictures and my max fps when gaming is 30-45 with freezing. I just got this phone 3 days ago. Never again 😞
@stesradThe Nokia is an awesome phone if you don't use it for games. I am a gamer so it's really important to save good ping and fps. Thank you for understanding though
My first Nokia was 5G but it had insane things happening to it after 5 months of having it. My 6G one am using right now is okay. My camera is barely working. It runs games at 20-60 fps but every 1-2 minutes it freezes for 17 seconds. There a huge spot on screen even though there is no damage to the screen. My 6G wifi only works for small things like text and UA-cam and phone call. But the battery is insanely good. Only 1 charge a day. But over all please do not buy NOKIA pls try smt els my friend.

Nice!
Wats the price ?

How is the call quality, is it loud and clear in the earpiece.

Would this be a good alternative to my 2 years old battery dying Samsung a52? Looks sim on specks
The A52 will be better overall especially with screen and camera. But this is still decent for the money

Yeah definitely worth considering for that reason, makes life alot easier! 😅
@@ashdoestech 100% a good selling point cos Samsung was good in the days that ya could swap a 🔋
The storage is ufs or emmc?
is there a torch? an fm radio?
You have the usual using the flash as a torch, not sure on the radio front
A good smartphone with stock android, best in class looks and has a repairability and durability
Samsung galaxy M15 5g prime vs Nokia 642 5g (this fon) ?? Plz ??
Excellent informative review. You don't need the best just one capable of doing the job in hand.
Thanks! I agree!

Great device and does what it needs to do, makes calls and messages.
Don't play games on it, not a mobile gamer. So for us, it is perfect.

Sir very good review.. does it have 1080p video play support on UA-cam ?
i own the 3.4 which has the same screen resolution and it does support 1080p, so this should be the same

The keyboard keys can be changed in size. Just want to know if it is a display issue because AFAIK the display is quite large.

thanks mate, this was really informative
No probs

Do you think this is alright as a child's phone?

Would this phone be better buy than a MotorolaG54?

Nokia is necessary to make a big refresh for 5g smartphones.
Great review .

Nokia is still the king I ❤ it forever
Ash! Thank you for posting.
Just bought this phone, go ahead and buy it a killer deal from Nokia. Same performance as the Galaxy A55, but for half the price.
That's interesting!
That's great info @MikeAnderson-ot7pc. Thanks for sharing.
I'm using 8 256 it's really good. But the camera is not good.
How about display ?
@@gkprasath89 it's good
Overall a pretty great phone! Camera is the let down, but not surprised at this price

Its like budget friendly car gud ambiance with gud mileage.
Also repairable 😊
Think I might have mentioned it 😅

Just not worth the money with the other options available.
Yep, definitely better options out there!
Recommend pls
