Nokia G42 5G Review - Did Nokia Just Get it Right - iGyaan

[@ashu201298]

I still remember I took my first ever phone Micromax A65 watching your video. Back in those days I used to watch iGyaan videos while eating food or just for get more insight into smartphones of those days. From Micromax I shifted to Karbonn, then Xolo, then Motorola, then Xiaomi, then Oneplus and not finally watching this video on my iPhone 14 Pro, and before owning one watching your video of that device. Whoa Times flies, but still your videos as still accurate, precise and to the point.

[@_P.K.]

Finally someone is testing the one big thing which actually matters and the basic functinoality of a phone, the call quality! how many youtube reviewers are doing this now-a-days!

[@cdas0002]

U r right

[@mohanramadurai6496]

Absolutely. The most basic and important part of a phone is the call quality. Most reviewers barely mention it in passing, and many don't mention it at all.

[@minukarodrigo]

​@@mohanramadurai6496and all the reviewed phones become complete disposables lol

[@michalsmrha1661]

@mohanramadurai6496 I barely use a mobile device for voice calls. It's personal assistant, communication hub, but voice services are on bottom of my needs.

[@shoelacedonkey]

@@mohanramadurai6496 Honestly, call quality is most often very similar and decent enough for most people on both budget and high end phones. Apart from that I'm sure many people hardly use their smartphone to call anymore, I know I don't (and I just noticed the comment above me as well). As long as the sound quality is decent enough that you can normaly understand the person you're calling with it's okay.

I just bought the Nokia G42. Your video and photo comparison in this video clearly shows that Nokia holds very well against even the highly expensive iphone 14 camera. Nokia photos and videos are a bit more saturated and have a cooler colour tone but overall, I felt the resolution, sharpness and details are not bad. Comparing the price, the camera is great. Definitely a great buy for people who are budget conscious, like me and even for people who want to get good phone camera in a budget. Even the front camera is quite good, although the unnecesary vignette it puts on front facing camera portraits is irritating. Nokia has bought out a winner this time. I will definitely recommend this phone to people who want to get a good phone in a budget.

A detailed and comprehensive review. Unlike most youtubers who are trying to make their videos snazzy because there is no substance in their content. Your review on the other hand emphasizes the basic points pivotal to buying a phone. Kudos to your entire team for such an exceptional review. Nokia is certainly not producing high end phones with best specifications but at least they are producing durable phones with decent specifications for average consumers. I have used a Nokia all my life. I still feel nothing beats a Nokia when it comes to practicality. Thanks a lot for the review once again.

[@gauravsinha6060]

It's difficult because in Nokia smartphones, you get zero bloatwares and pure stock Android experience and therefore, Nokia doesn't get any money from any third party. Also, Nokia doesn't compromise with quality of its smartphones to sell at lower price. That's the standard of the company and they will never lower their standard because that's the identity of Nokia and that's what Nokia is known for. In comparison, other companies give high specs because they install many bloatwares and show unwanted ads and that's how other companies balance their profit margins but this is not the case with Nokia. I personally hate bloatwares because there's a risk of leaking of private data and they acquire more storage. And that's the reason, Nokia smartphones for me are best and not overpriced because 1. They look more premium for their price; 2. They are more durable and safer to use than other smartphones.

Nokia is really making me turn from a loyal fan to a hater. Recently purchased C32 for 9.5k for basic use. I just wanted a phone that could manage phonecalls, texting, some internet browsing and music. - The phone is laggy, worse than a 2015 phone. It's shocking - It reaches terrible speeds on Wifi, and most apps don't work on Wifi. Again, pathetic - The audio jack output is like a 1000 rs feature phone, probably even worse. I can't believe how low Nokia has fallen. After using 8.1 and 8.3, I expected them to get the basics right, but they are a shadow of their former self now

[@VikramSingh-fd9uj]

Why we expect phone manufacturer to bring the phone design copying from others. OPPO vivo redmi one+ all are cousins. Rest is Apple & Samsung. Even in samsung you don't find such specs in all phones. So it automatically comes to Chinsse cousins.

Fact is this people who really like Nokia are almost forgot Nokia for example last year i had Nokia G21 which is nice phone and my friends colleagues and cousin everybody says to me that "Nokia abhi bhi Phone bnata hai 😅" So Nokia is done so poor marketing in India for last 5 years plus there are no tv commercials of Nokia phones like back then. But i am still disappoint for the price of X30 which is good competitor of Nord 3ce.

[@gauravsinha6060]

The best thing about Nokia smartphones is that they run on stock Android and there are no bloatwares and yet it's competing. That's impressive. ❤ Apart from that, a 5000 mAh battery is more than enough because Nokia G42 is running on stock Android, has zero bloatwares and great software optimisation. So, there's less RAM and CPU usage and longer battery life. That's why Nokia G42's 5000 mAh battery should last as long as a Chinese smartphone with 6000 mAh battery would. Also, Nokia customer service is way more better than Chinese companies. So, if you get a problem with your Nokia device, the Nokia service centre team solves the problem in one day unlike the Chinese companies that take one week to a month to repair. When it comes to pricing, it is better to take every factor into account, not just specs.
