And that's why we watch him, pretty much does any phone he can get his hands on from flagship to budget phone. Watching Tech Spurt remind me of what watching MKBHD was 10 years ago back when he actually review budget phones like Motorola Moto G.
I'm using this phone right now and it is really good! It's definitely worth buying 💗 For using social media, watching videos and photos it's more than enough 👍
I've had this phone for a few months, the camera isn't amazing but more than good enough for everyday photos and the phone itself is fast and as good as any budget/midrange phone 👍🏻
I like Nokia's take on self fix/change battery, low carbon footprint and recycled materials. This phone is definitely on the maybe list next to the x30
I actually had the chance to test this phone myself a couple of months back (no not the pink one :D), and you know what? It really surprised me. I was concerned by the screen itself as being "only" 720p felt like one of the better 720p panels I've used and even appeared better than a cheap 1080p panel (if that made sense.). Even the chipset (probably because of the screen it was powering, was able to punch above its weight class). It will get a lot of detractors for some of the specs (and rightly so), but it's definitely a capable device.
You are right about the chipset. I'm using a Nokia X20 for 2 years now, with the same Snapdragon 480 5G, and it's still smooth running Android 13 (came with Android 11). That's because the 480 is the top of its line, and even surpassed the 720 on several benchmarks.
I really appretiate the fact you mention eveything about the device in your videos, it is very detailed explaination I have come across so far. Keep up the good work & you rock! 😍😍
The big advantage of the Nokia G42 and also of the Nokia G21,G22 and G11 is the combination of a large battery and a slow processor which allows them to be used for up to 3 days without recharging. The big disadvantage of those 4 phones is the slow processor. Running the game Blades is a good check that you have a modern mid to upper range processor. Blades does not work on my son's Nokia G10 and I doubt if it would work with this phone. An important benchmark that I think that you should adopt is to find out whether the cheap phones that you test can run blades or not.
@@conor-_C Blades is an online game based upon Skyrim. I like Skyrim and so I like to play Blades on the move. I have found that it only worked on my latest phones and so it seems to be a good test of phone graphics.
Older adults do not usually require gaming features. It has a convenient Bluetooth feature which means that I can answer the phone from the steering wheel while driving the car and I have not violated any laws. It is a practical phone for communication and some simple forms of social media.
Just wanted to stop by and let you know I've been using this phone for the last 6 months and it has been excellent. Battery life is absolutely excellent even with heavy use and it has never let me down. Waiting for the android updates on it though! Pink and with a screen protector, great phone for the price.
Tks for the video. Interesting budget phone. The processor as you showed is enough, because it's a light android interface. And it's easier to repair, then it's durable
Mine is a week old. The charger came with it, but battery is poor: in average it lasts just a day even on battery saver. No games, just some youtube videos and messaging for an hour or so.
It's same phone in India BUT with superb extras! You should go for Nokia G42 I would. You're very fortunate in India! In HMD Global's home country 🇫🇮 we don't get a charger and no case either in the box, but you get both. It should be the same here but it won't happen 😢. Call quality is very good and battery lasts easily for 2-3 days at least.
Uncle Spurt and audience, I'm torn between this phone and the Motorola G24. I can get both for $105 usd. The only main differences that matter to me that I found were the Nokia has 5G and 6 GB RAM while the Moto has 8 GB of RAM but only 4G. They both have the nfc, headphone jack and android 14 I desire. Need some recommendations here. Does one have a better software/stability experience over the other? Seen many hits and misses when it comes to budget blowers like these freezing and having app crashing.
Now that you mention about this having ambient display feature, I had to double check the entire video on why the display has a very deep black level and appears too bright that the camera can't capture the display color properly unlike most HMD phones you've reviewed in the past. Double checking at 8:10, the display exhibit OLED characteristic where the black appears black rather than gray. I'm confused whether HMD is using an OLED panel or LCD IPS. That level of black is not attainable in IPS and I'm sure 720p OLED panel doesn' exist, let alone this decent. HMD tends to avoid panel with PWM flicker if they have to use OLED and I wonder if this is a 1080p OLED panel firmware-locked to 720p since it doesn't appear as grainy i.e. higher pixel density than regular 720p panel
720p OLED displays don't exist? What are you talking about? Have your heard of Mi A3? That came about almost 3-4 years ago. There are other models as well.
Hi. Quality of voice calls through earpiece this vs others, opinions?. Had Moto g32 recently sounds real bad compared to moto E7 I have used before. Will appreciate if you can suggest any phones with decent voice call quality ( or is it earpiece sound) and about the same price range.
my wifes got the G22 ... very few updates .. still on V12 of Andriod.. updates are few and far between ... so rather than update their phones like they used to , they brought out a new phone ... :(
G22 is meant to be released much earlier but got pushed due to last minute Quick Fix collaboration. However I do agree that they should update G22 as soon as possible to A13 since G21 and the rest already got A13
HMD Global is now only focusing on marketing, updating phones is not any major priority anymore. They have released so many cheap C-series models lately that it will be a mess to them. Did you know that their most expensive phone ever Nokia 9 never got Android 12 (or 11 not sure which it was) as promised? It was a huge scandal. Finally HMD Global came out and told the press that they couldn't make it. Their tiny tech staff failed, they just didn't have competence enough to make it.
@@michaelfox6643 Unfortunately G22 is very slow, so slow that it's almost criminal to sell it as "a durable phone to keep for long". Here in 🇫🇮 Finland they sold out their stock of G22 for only 99 Euros (instead of asking price 199e) because almost no one here bought it. Many who bought G22 at 99e will very likely be dissapointed with its performance because it's the slowest phone that's sold here in all major shops.
This phone is good, battery i get 10 -12hrs for moderate use, Software is upto date running A13 with Nov Security patch, Expecting A14 mid January, NFC not available for Indian Variant, Im ok with Display resolution this is LCD 720p HD+, Not so good and not bad but decent, build quality and appearance good.. Cons: feel some lagging while I watching videos on OTT App Haptic feedback average Camera Average.
Wow what an insightful comment once again. The box is made from recycled materials and the insides doesnt contain any plastic. Box is made from Kraft materials and so they are not colored in any way. ”💀”
I used Nokia 5.3 since 3 years ago and still using it. Never get problem 😂 even the charger and earphones still useful not broken yet. I really interesting with Nokia G42 but my phone still good. 😂 😂
I'm currently using the Nokia 6.1 it's the 5th year now, it's giving battery problems can say that I'm disappointed for it has served for many years, I'm looking to buy the G42 before this one gives in.
I have a Nokia 3 and it's still good, but it didn't hold so well after a fall. It's flexed and I feel the battery is a bit bloated, but even with spare use it's good. I didn't even know it had LDAC, since I bought a Zenfone 9 for that regard. Can't say it's better than the ZF9, but having LDAC on a not so expensive phone is mooore than enough.
The issue is that this phone will outlast the promised upgrade by many years , which begs the question what's the point of a durable long term phone if only getting 3 years of software updates ?

Nokia always tries to use LCD panel instead of OLED, cause they are cheaper to replace and also require less power .

Whats blades

But it is not a gaming phone though but it can run CODM max output which is better than any other hype brands could give.
I think it could work as this is a slightly improved Snapdragon processor
