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]

Absolutely, it's great for the basics. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@riittap9121]

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 😁

Ash! Thank you for posting.

[@redhamasri]

I got the 8 ram with 256 storage which make it a decent unit and i recived Android 14 update which makes it even better as a daily driver.

[@ashdoestech]

Nice!

[@user-kw7dh5yo5i]

Wats the price ?

[@user-kw7dh5yo5i]

Not used yet

[@redhamasri]

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!

[@ansari098]

A good smartphone with stock android, best in class looks and has a repairability and durability

thanks mate, this was really informative

No probs Thanks for watching 😁

Excellent informative review. You don't need the best just one capable of doing the job in hand.

[@ashdoestech]

Thanks! I agree!

[@iMadhuKumar]

Thank you for analysis. Its decent one for normal usage at the price point.

[@ashdoestech]

Absolutely! Does the job well enough for most. But there are definitely better options around! Thanks for watching!

Sad thing is doesn't support gyroscope in pubg

Its like budget friendly car gud ambiance with gud mileage.

[@leeboydell9804]

Would this be a good alternative to my 2 years old battery dying Samsung a52? Looks sim on specks

[@ashdoestech]

The A52 will be better overall especially with screen and camera. But this is still decent for the money

[@leeboydell9804]

Yeah definitely worth considering for that reason, makes life alot easier! 😅

No worries. Thanks for watching! 🙌

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.

[@lovefive5733]

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 😊 😊😊

[@Harsh12351]

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.

[@satyaprasanna627]

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

[@redhamasri]

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!

[@keithbartlett8926]

Also repairable 😊

[@ashdoestech]

Think I might have mentioned it 😅

[@ridinghightidesindia6847]

How's camera quality?

[@ashdoestech]

Watch the video 🤷

[@dave8204]

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

[@ashdoestech]

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!

[@hardworker8030]

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.

[@Grover3.0]

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

[@ashdoestech]

Yeaaahh! It'll be fine! 👍

[@ubjuu]

crap,dont buy this,buy poco

[@halvaraspegren7635]

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.

[@neilnoakes2685]

Just not worth the money with the other options available.

[@ashdoestech]

Yep, definitely better options out there!

Recommend pls

Some Honor phones are pretty good value. X8 or Magic5 Lite are good examples
