G22 design was better. Well the device is solid, they should have tough taken out the 3. Camera, and get rid of the notch, better increse the upper bezel. The device is really fast, for the price, clean android and 3 years of everything, it is a no brainer for somebody that does not want a flagship, or chinese devices and OSs. After 3 years support ending, one can install whatever on it, cause the bootloader is unlocked. At least it is in all their last releases.

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2023Good for kids of this budget phone G42There are way better options for same or less of the price.
Even Poco M5s that is with Helio G95 is better then this for the reason that it has 6.43 inch AMOLED 60hz FHD+ screen that is also a lot smaller then this 720p screen phones with large bezels and also have faster charging speed and also better cameras. While the price for the phone have dropped to 180 euro or less.
Also for gaming you dont need better then 4G connection as it be fast enough speed and more reliable as 5G is still pretty new and dont cover much of any country area. While 4G coverage is a lot larger so even when you have 5G phone then mostly you still be in 4G cause no near by antennae for 5G while also 5G is more expensive so what be the point to have it for kids who dont need the speed. Well who even needs the speed who do some 1TB data downloading and uploading a month who needs these 5G speeds

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2023Why is Nokia becoming like Chinese Phones (Realme, Xiaomi, ... moreBecoming ? Maybe at first year under HMD they were something but on second year they already were just e-waste with stock android and higher price. Reusable plastic that is more expensive and low hardware that wont last you more then 2 years till you have no point to repair it.

R4TM4NN, 28 Jun 2023Even though the 480+ is old, this phone would've made ... moreI would say cause of the SD480+ is old it should be in the range of 100-150 as all over 150 is already too expensive for this. It's still with large chin and teardrop selfie cam.
That up to 250 euro in this style of the screen it needs to have SD 4 Gen 2 in it to justify it's price even tough it's not much different from 480+ but at least the chip release date is newer so cause of that the price for the chip be higher over few years old 480+ that with time should drop it's price like it's natural in technology

This is essentially the G22 with 5G support and a better chipset, and while there are plenty of things to criticise I don't think the 480+ is one of them.
The 480+ is absolutely more than enough for the target user of this phone. People are asking why the 4 Gen 1 was not used, well just look at how few manufacturers have taken up that chipset, it's not worth the extra over the previous generation.

zaryan, 28 Jun 2023You can't blame them ,the weak hardware inside won... moreTbh 480+ isn't that "weak". Should be remembered that most phones that come with Snapdragon 625, 636, 650, 651, 660, 662, 665, 680 (all midrange chipsets that has slower performance than 480+) usually comes with Full HD screen, and it will run just fine. I guess people underestimating this chipset as the successor of 460, while the truth is it's the underclocked version of 690/695.

Same recycled rubbish outdated generic design with irrelevant 2mp macro and depth such a joke should be banned nowadays.
I don't know where HMD are going with these junk yard specials who made the decision to put another dated 480+ chipset in would of been more exciting with the new SD4G2 on board.
No NFC either.

I believe Nokia do make decent phones
However after making, they hibernate in deep sleep for 2 years and then release phones after waking up
