Nokia G50 Unboxing & Full Tour | £199 Budget Behemoth

- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Unboxing the Nokia G50, a budget Android smartphone from HMD boasting a massive 6.82-inch IPS screen, 5G connectivity and a stock UI with guaranteed updates. This hands-on review covers the gaming prowess, specs, camera features and software of the Nokia G50, stick around for an in-depth verdict soon!
This is one of the more affordable 5G phones here in the UK, and a solid option if you want a launcher-free Android experience with guaranteed OS updates. The specification isn't quite as strong as some budget rivals, sure. There's no 90Hz support for that mighty display, which is also an HD+ rather than FHD+ panel. And the Snapdragon 480 chipset means performance is rather limited, although the Nokia G50 can certainly handle everyday shenanigans. Gamers will want to look elsewhere for more grunt, but this mobile can manage PubG and CodM in a pinch.
That 48MP camera seems fine for simple photos and home movies, despite the lack of 4K video action. And you have all of the usual features including NFC, a headphone jack and expandable storage via microSD.
Full review coming soon!

I wish reviewers like this guy knew that HMD have had trouble commiting to their promises with updates for Nokia phones. The updates are always delayed and broken.
Such a big display with such a sub-standard 720p resolution is a major setback . Either they should've reduced the size or given 1080p resolution atleast .
Creo que se acerca el fin de hdm con nokia
Totally agree. I don't see how Nokia can remain competitive anymore
Yeah HMD is firmly set on keeping Nokia in the dark ages...
I already have Nokia G50 last week....excellent in design, performance, camera and mic input..ANd it's very big :)
Are sure òf what you're saying please?I hope you are good on observing phones,do you convince me to buy it?
@@antibiotic7238 Im not convincing anyone...Im only sharing my experience about my Nokia G50 5G...its so good and Im very contented 👍👍👍
@@kevinchristiancastillo2017 just bought it..
@@antibiotic7238how is like, judging from your experience?
There are so many people complaining about the 480 chipset. I only do businesses tasks and camera use on my phone. I used a Samsung a 52 for a while and my experience was horrible. So bad optimization on the 750 chipset. It is a very mediocre phone. Especially when it comes to build quality. Horrible. Nokia might not support 4k or other fancy stuff like Xiaomi and others on the same price, but at least it can perform very well at the features it offers. Nokia user since 2017 with Nokia 6 and then 8 sirocco until now. Awesome build quality, great lag free software. I don't know about gaming but when it comes to multitasking and software effectiveness Nokia is the best.
Yeah you're absolutely right. People nowadays are brainwashed with usage of higher end components. Don't know what happened to those days when phones were only means of communication a lil bit of photography. People want so much without spending a lot. These chinese companies have ruined it all.
Just tell them to go see UA-cams 'TheMrNokia [Abdulla Zaki] - He did benchmarks on various other SD SOC's, and on the most part it was comparable to the high 700 series chips, so, pretty much high end processing power, oh and, pretty much 0 throttling during heavy use... 😏😏😏😎🇬🇧

Then you can get a Pixel 4.
Ah. Love to see the name of my hometown on both sides of the HMD Global devices. Same name you used to see on bog rolls, wellies, and still see on car tyres. Same origin, my hometown, which is still as depressing as it was in the 19th century when Nokia as a company started.
right
What do the people in your town think about the Nokia phones by HMD?
@@SirFaceFone Not much, to be honest. Some old school warriors still buy them because of the name but majority doesn't consider the new Nokia phones the real deal. It's like when Nokia sold its soul to Microsoft; the people of Nokia town didn't know whether to cry or change the road signs to say Microsoft instead.
I heard that a company will stop making phones in 2024 as written in the contract and the period I use the rights to the name will expire is this true
@@RebeccaRhymerWow🤩 I've no idea that Nokia itself is a name of a place. Does a Nokia a City or Municipality?
I like this big boy! Good, solid , clean build, 5G prepped, a no frills phone made for everyday use with a large screen, solid cameras, good battery life and the excellent Android One programme, with guaranteed OS and security patch updates! Not much else needed. PS I saw that they updated "James Bond/No Time To Die" with the Nokia XR-20 as his own device! They upgraded from the Nokia 8.3 5G, itself a great and quite underrated device.
Are you sure this phone uses Android one ?
@@dawidszczesniak7872 It runs Android 11, but yes this version comes under the Android One programme…aka the most stock Android version you can find on a smartphone that isn’t a Pixel. As far as I know Motorola also runs under the Android One banner, for at least some if not of it’s models. We are not talking about the Android Go OS, which is a paired down Android software version that you can find on several different devices at the entry level, like the Nokia 1.4 or others.
Just wish HMD would release more Premium Nokia phones,with more better chips,as we want Nokia back challenging Samsung & Apple
They never got back after their downfall.
I had a Nokia and they are very well made
That's why I was willing to buy it
If it's a big size phone atleast give people 1080p
iPhone XR would like a word with you
@@anaccount1 well it's only 6.1 inch and it's an 828p screen with 326 ppi so u will notice very less pixelation
@@yahyahasan1554 yeah the screen seems much better but it still seems huge to me😂
yeah i highly agree they should've use FullHD+ resolution but damn that's really bold move there by using a low res size on a big screen phone
@@anaccount1 lol 😂
That weight it's getting near the Z Fold, Good lord.
HD+ display and Dew drop notch is not we expected.
I don't care about the rivals.Because all knows that, every thing that Nokia offers (hardware to software)all are very solid.The build quality of Nokia is excellent.They are known for their durability. Great choice for everyday use...
I know right Apple is such trash 🗑 💀💀💀💀
Love your videos man👍
Now eagerly awaiting the full review
Nice. Go all the way to the top
So this is basically a super Nokia 5.3
Good one❤️
But i was wondering are u gonna review the Xiaomi 11t (not the pro)?
Damn it, Nokia. Just give us mid-high end device.
heard of nokia x10 and x20?
I've been waiting for them to release decent mid range phones. I switched to Realme 5 Pro after my Nokia 6 can't perform well anymore.
Please would you do an in depth review of the Moto Edge 20 Lite if you still have it. Thanks. Love the channel.
I have nokia 5.1 plus and had 720p ips display but it's better than my new realme 6 pro that had 1080p display, I dunno why but it depends on how they built the phone especially the os
Nokia is in love with 720p display😂😂😂
Yeah why not ?? Better battery backup , better gaming performance at the cost of nearly invisible difference . Sounds fair
I just got a Nokia g50 last week this phone is absolutely amazing and I love the build quality of it i am loving it plus its pretty smooth to 😊
I like the way u describe the mobiles keep it up lol
“Bit of a Palm filler”. Lol love your accent man, and your Nokia/Motorola mid range phone reviews. Lol it’s amazing how many models those two brands come up with every year. Crazy. I’d like to get a Nokia android smartphone for nostalgia purposes. Just don’t know which one! 🤨🤦🤣
I am currently using this phone. 1 month old. If you owned a Samsung prior, you will eventually be disappointed in the G50. It's slow, and the Google assistant button gets pressed by accident all the time. The mic picks up conversations and activates the Google assistant. The camera takes images with its own "unique " quality. The Nokia ringtone is nice, doesn't startle or disturb in meetings. The pull down menu has some neat tricks. For what it's worth, for a business man, no, for a traveller yes, gamer no, social media junkie yes would recommend. I bought this phone for the camera and Nokia nostalgia. All in all, I should have bought a Samsung.
I have been looking at the g50. So, which Samsung were you thinking of? The a13 5g or what?
Back again. I can only express how disappointed I am with this phone. A true piece of trash. I advise all considering buying this phone against it. The phone freezes from simple actions such as dialing a number. I've had many phones, including LGs and this phone is by far the worse.
@@charlesbelville5090 I would suggest the note 10 and higher. Sorry to take so long. I hope you didn't buy the G50 piece of crap.
Man thanks I was planning to buy this because it's on sale today for only 180$. I think I'll hold off and wait for other brands. I'm looking for a non chinese phone brand.
720p ...better battery life. 18watt charge is a bit slow. solid build, looking good Nokia will keep connecting people🇫🇮👍
It looks solid built and comes in at a good price point. It should be fairly snappy too. Just for comparison, the G50 has the same chipset and ram as the XR20. And that pushes a 1080p screen and also costs literally twice as much. So slap a good quality case on this bad boy and it’s actually pretty cost effective compared to the xr20. 720p screen isn’t all that bad either really. It’s more then enough for streaming and everyday things. I think the G50 is actually a well thought device. I bet it has better 5G bands then the Chinese rivals
G50 4gb ram. XR20 6gb ram
@@quilla.b g50 has 6g ram also
@@quilla.b XR 20 has a 4gb and a 6gb variant here in the UK at least. 4gb is £399 and 6gb is £449. It’s unlikely Nokia will sell a 6Gb variant of the G50 in the UK as they Have the X10 6gb variant priced at £229 at the moment.
Nokia Apologist.
@@blackhawk69100 Awful prices comparing to something like a Poco F3 that can be had for £200 and it's just miles better.
1080p display is the only absence I would say
And FFC(8 MP) also should have been better.
90hz es lo mínimo actualmente
I love it 😍
I absolutely despise having the google search bar at the bottom of the screen. And yet, I might still actually get this phone.
Would be great they release a Pro version with better chipset and full hd screen.
720p displays should be a thing of the past.
Yes 😒
The Snapdragon 480 is very close to the Snapdragon 720G and the Dimensity 700. It is only a gnats hair difference.
Ok on the X20 it's a bit cheap but it's fair enough on a £200 phone.
It's rivals are Motorola where upgrades are zip to zero or Chinese rivals with more bloatware to sink a battleship.
For £200 this is good stuff. And has got what you need without the nonsense.
Hello, where is the rest of review you promised? Thnx for unboxing & tour video.
Many people says that nokia 8.3 5G is the james bond phone used in the movie but it´s not true. There is no same phone in the market as the movie used daniel craig when he was on home with the little girl and his girlfriend.
By the way, the most similar model its this Nokia G50. Same position on front camera with V version and most similar on back with only Circle With all cameras inside.
I don´t understand why nokia spent to much money to put his phone in the movie and not released exactly same version.
It`s strange to see a todays smarthphone with a 720p screen.
That is a 20 year old tech.
Good review, I'm really interested with wallpapers. How can I get them?
Cannot wait for Pixel 6 video here
There's a rumor going around that the new matrix movie will feature a newly design Nokia Phone, supposed to be the "comeback"
Hello Ruben, what's is your source or where did you hear this rumor from?
They just made a partnership with 007, no?
@@SirFaceFone ye saw a nice shiny Nokia phone in the new bond film. Think it was supposed to feature the Nokia 8.3 but I think they changed it to the Nokia x20 or something like that.
We really need you to get your sticky mitts on the latest Nokia x100 Pro mate, it states 29th of December release date. Hoping you can get hold of it sooner for a review 😉
Think he got tired of Nokia's old age tech...
@@camotech1314 or he’s just too pissed to reply 🤣
I am using Nokia 8.1, it is built like a military tank and I think that will be the last best phone Nokia will launch
So far nokia 8 sirocco, & nokia 8.1 atethe best looking phone untill now
@@James-ky7ev yes but problem with Nokia is they r not serious about Indian market
Hi TechSpurt,
I'm a great fan from Nigeria 🇳🇬 and never misses your videos.
Great work you are doing here ❤️
Love this phone, I use it heavily for work and it constantly clocks in well over ten hours of screen on time with Bluetooth on continuously, camera is Brill too and the screen is more than fine
How long have u been using it?
@@intermilan9731 going on two months mate, consistently 10h of screen on time daily
@@zippyfinleyadventures same Fast and smooth after software upgrades?
@@intermilan9731 I've not really experienced lags, 48mp mode is pretty good on camera as well but I have really steady hands for the price it's a beast imo
@@zippyfinleyadventures How long does the battery usually last now?
Not sure.
The x10 is pretty much the same and gets a full hd screen. And kinda same price.
And doesn't have a charger.
Odd Nokia will plant more trees with the x10 over the g50.
Go figure.
But overall this is actually a good phone at a good price.
So yay to Nokia.
Nokia is all about planting trees. You know this is ironic looking into their beginnings. :)
Nokia G50 chin seems to be bigger than ever? But more importantly a terrible failure by HMD again. Why? Because new (7/2021) X10 is cheaper and much better! X10 gets 3 OS updates and 4 years security. X10 has Zeiss lens cameras. X10 has 1080p screen. Therefore this G50 is a disaster a totally pointless release by HMD Global.
I use a Nokia phone, why am I just getting this notification for the video review?
I hate this design 😑
I wish nokia (hmd) find a deal with microsoft and get those beautiful lumia designs and rubbery backs 🤤😍
The microsoft launcher is cool too , wouldnt mind it as default launcher 🙂
Same
That will be fabulous. 😎
Lumia like yellow colors and xenon flash.
@@sehrawatboy3339 yeap , i would love that ☺️
Lumias had sharp corners. Wasn't a pleasant thing to use.
I own a G50 in Ocean Blue and I use a Belkin 30W PPS charger with mine plus in the in-box 10W charger.
Got mine for $247 down from the AU RRP of $449 on clearance at Harvey Norman.
Is there any chance you could do a review of the sekonda smartwatch PLEASE
I always love nokia
Just a little thing: it actually has a metal frame (and a very durable one at that) and not plastic like you mentioned.
When is the full review coming out?
Was there an in depth review of this phone?
I'll choose this Nokia g50 compared to Chinese branded phones.
Me too. I only choose phones that are NOT CHINESE!!! I've never had a Nokia phone before. They good???
@@justagirlwholovestopartyyy durability wise, clean software, yes
@@jmd9547 ok👍
Hi there, my current phone (A21) stopped working today and I’m looking for an upgrade. For the same price I can get an A32 5G or The Nokia G50 5G. Which do you recommend?
Great vid, keep up the good work👍🏽👍🏽
Hey, don't know if opinion from random and not tech reviewer is worth for you much but I personally would go for Nokia. Better processor with clean Android so overall better performance, better 5G bands, longer SoT and better build quality I would say
@@Viefer5366 Thanks for the advise 👍🏽👍🏽. I ordered it this morning. Will pick it up at the store in about 2 hours. I’ve used Samsung before and liked it, but I also like the fact that this phone has a guaranteed 2 years of OS upgrades and also double the storage.
I ordered it... Plan on "punishing the competition". That has to do with the codename they gave it.
Anyway excited to give it a go in early October!
I'm really a big FAN of NOKIA , and i do like the REGULAR UPDATES , but i wish they would make a much POWERFULLER phone, at the moment I'm thinking of getting PIXEL 6/PRO.
I am thinking of getting pixel 6 as well. I don't think nokia is gonna go for flagship anytime soon and acc to rumours pixel 6 will be getting 5 years of os updates which is long time coming for Android market
My favourite Nokia brand.
I wish it's return again with new avtaar.
Thanks you have make me to get that phone❤❤❤❤😊
wow i beliivie you work in nokia for sure, first in hand nokia
I Love Tech Spurt Videos 😁
aww you should have put up shots of pics taken directly from the phone, that's what i wanted to see
You can get rid of the Google search bar by using a launcher. I tried severa and settled on the Microsoft Launcher.
Hi,
Thank you for the intro to the phone. Apart from the 2 years OS updates and 3 years security updates it's difficult to justify getting this phone.
Perhaps I'm just becoming very jaded in my dotage but 720p, nipple notch, mediocre performance, massive chin, and the size & weight of the Kraken (TBBT reference there).
I might save my pennies for 2 years and go over to the dark side (Apple if you're wondering) mega expensive, utterly boring, and destined to stay with you forever as a constant reminder of desperation.
Informative & entertaining video as always, thank you.
Take care, keep safe
Apple iPhone mini is better than this if you want compact phone
@@darksoul6188 I don't particularly want a compact phone, one of my main uses of my phone is reading - news feeds & books. A larger screen is better for my particular purposes.
@@barbaralaing4114 umm most of the Samsung moto are providing better now u should skip this tbh full hd+amoled would be better for u

Fair phone for it's price.
I'm waiting for Nokia's flagship phone
The X20 is their “flagship”
wait to october 6th and november 11th
@@craigpodsprojames2500 bought new 8.3 5G 8Gb/128Gb for 190€ last week...new phone from operator...they sell these out because X-series came out and noone is paying for older 8.3 5G
Would say its cheapest mid-high tier phone ive bought in long time...
@@jkarra2334 the new X & G phones suck; but the older #.# models are okay.
Just had a look at the specs for the 8.3 and apart from the 60hz LCD it's a very good device, better than the X20
Nokia still not figured out how to reclaim the throne...
You get nothin' for free here Popeye.
@@Ruben901 GIMME SOME CH0NCH0N!
I will never buy a new budget smart phone ever again, you are much better off with a refurbished former flagship from like 2018 the specs are still probably much better, I am still happy with my p20 Pro I bough last year for £160, the speed and battery life is still at the top, a iPhone 12 Pro max is honestly not that much better for the price gap.
Hello there Nokia x100 or the g50 which one do u think is better.
Not a big fan of Nokia but there is one thing i do like about their phones and that is the fact they put the name of the brand on the front, differentiating itself from the rest. But i still doubt anyone would buy this for any other reason than nostalgia. Phone seems outdated when you've got the likes of the x3 pro and many other affordable Xiaomi/Poco/Redmi phones. Stock android is really dull, processor is slow and 720p resolution. This phone would've been fine if it came out in 2017 though
The problem with those Chinese phones are the amount of bloatware on them.
I'm still hoping that you can talk to them directly to the HMD about our concern in the philippines. Some of the smartphone are not available in our country for example the Nokia 8.3 5G,the Nokia XR20,Nokia laptop,smartwatch etc.
I feel you bro
Another fine video fella. Keep it up 😁😎.. Next stop 'TheMrNokia [Abdulla Zaki]' for the Nokia XR20 review 😏. (yeah, another good YT tech reviewer, he's also recently reviewed some old 'N' series phones too) 😏
I like the idea of a VPN provider being pre-installed, only thing is, it would be better if it also came with 1 year (or even 6 months) free use of said VPN, just so people get a chance of being more secure when online. And it would naturally be better than the 'Free' VPN Providers out there, that log your data, or spam you with ads, or are slow etc etc... 🤔😒
Wow. If they offered higher specs on this, i wouldn't be looking for any other phone. Let's see. 3.5mm jack. Check. Expandable memory. Check. I mean i am considering gaming phones such as rog 5, red magic 6s pro, black shark 4, which all have the jack but not an expandable memory.
The current phone i have is the note 9 with 512 gb sd card bumping the storage all the way to 1 tb. And of course the headphone jack. We just need to convince Nokia to bump their specs up considering many companies are opening up opportunities for competition because of their greed.
The day they come up with a great display and more customisation and optical fingerprint scanner....I'm going for it.
they did make one its called Nokia 9 Pureview though from what i heard its kinda bug and do to its sales being extremely low i think they dropped it. when it came out it had the best display and a camera on a phone.
You can also pick up this item if you are in Queens, New York or buy it online at My World Phone
I wonder how this battery will perform. 5.4 after learning user habits, it can standby up to 4 days with wifi never turned off. I guess this could take even further
that said it's a nice upgrade from 5 2017. I'm more irritated to that screen size rather than resolution as X10 covers FHD+. Don't care about 90Hz as I'm not staring at scrolling animation every day and not much games makes use of that refresh rate
They're releasing another device just wait if u don't like this one
Is it really good as in capturing nice pictures I personally I love taking selfie 🤣
200 quid and still hd+....... come ooooooooooon, Nokia!
Can you shoot video in wider aspect ratio instead of the usual 16:9,
Can you please compare the Moto g50 vs this one?
Where do you get your exact wallpaper animation sir
Hi, did you do a follow up review?
Nokia seems to give decent value for the money with their update strategy, but it kind of feels like their devices don't have much of an identity to them. Stock Android is nice and all, but why buy a Nokia when you can go straight to the Pixel series devices for the same or better experience? There's just nothing specific or unique they add in their software.
is nokia bringing out more in oct?
My mum and I are going in tomorrow to check out this phone for her. Her Samsung has been playing up for some time then found out this morning the recent update of Samsung phones has caused me to discuss with her changing brand phones. She wants a phone with 5g. Even if it came out in 2021 and we are now in 2023, I think she will get till 2025-2026 out of the phone then there will be even cheaper phones out. She has said for months she wants a phone that's similar to my phone. My phone is the Nokia X20 but on a budget, which makes me think of the g50. Her budget was $100aud-$300aud. The g50 is on sale for $297. Other places it's $498.. I think it will do for a retired grandmother.
Hope you gonna let us Kronos if it has a display alt mode ..
what is the lockscrean wallpaper name sir ??? can u share please
Nokia never fails to disappoint me every release this year lol
Hopefully you can get one also, of nokia G300 5G. 🙋😷
Worth from Nokia 7.1? Nokia 7.1 has 1080p screen resolution and G50 has 720p and bigger screen. Please any answer. Thanks! :)
When you going to test the motorola g62 5g phone?
Best phone from nokia
Does this phone have Dual Sight in camera?? Thank you in advance.
S ofcourse
good but even better if very important features are emphasized, eg, RAM, waterproof, non-removable battery, RAM is of major importance.
Where do you find these wallpapers please?
Awesome
From where you download these wallpaper ??
Waiting for software update to disable or be able to customise call recording ...its such a turn of
Hey I'm running a note 8 with a 1TB sd card even tho is says 512 as the max is there anyway to tell if the 1TB would work with this phone
great price point no need for £1K phones or even £500 now tbh
You'll get full HD 90 hz phones with punchhole at that price point already, even Amoleds... This is another crap phone from Nokia no one who knows something about phones need...
Please compare with Nokia G20 🙏
Headphone jack !!!!!! HOOOORRRAAAYYYYYYY NOKIAAA !!!
What a big phone ...man I need my pockets enlarged
