Just thought of dropping a review too.
When I got my phone late last month and read reviews here I was immediately down and almost regreted buying the phone cos of the first three reviews I saw were negative ones about Nokia G10 generally, I haven't even started using the phone at all, I just got back from the store where I bought it from.
But then I decided to check other reviews first before crying and yes I mean crying cos I got the phone with my school fees to tell you how desperately I needed the phone at that time. And gladly when I read some few other reviews I was a little optimistic of mine.
I use the 4/64 model and I did all the necessary updating and upgrading that same day and up till now I've not but enjoyed the phone a great deal.
So I want to believe the 3/32 and 3/64 are the ones experiencing all these down, lagging and other bad side of the phone, so maybe a factory reset or a downgrade back to android 11 will solve your problem if you're experiencing such. But trust me if you're planning to get this phone, get the 4/64 variant and don't be scared to update and upgrade it. Do, and enjoy the phone.

Been using the G10 for about 2 weeks now. 4/64 variant.
Updated to the August patch for Android 12.
I basically use this phone for my office communications like WhatsApp, Teams & Outlook only with mobile/wifi data and it has not let me down.
It does not get slow whatsoever and snappier than most reviews I saw online.
I think it's the 3GB RAM variant is the slow one, but not 100% sure.

Got this smartphone for my mum
It was supposed too be the smartphone just how good Nokia phones are and has been my recommendation brand new for 75 pound as one of the best budget smartphones
Was sold too us as open box but never used but was refurbished with screen and battery replacement
so keep this in mind when reading my review
When we got it
We have the 3gb ram modal
It updated too android 12 so we have never experienced it on android 11
The smartphone don't feel like is durable
I highly doubt it survive a drop
The performance is a little slow straight out of the box
software was a pain too set up
The Nokia g10 runs AndroidOne 12 however
Many bad settings by default and silly problems
Android navigation and screen time out was a struggle gesture navigation is terrible and no Google assistant is not so important it needs it's own button Nokia
This is not user friendly and had too be changed by too standard button navigation
This smartphone may be stock android phone but it's purged with bloutware from FB Netflix Amazon
Not as bad as most smartphones of today but still anyone who needs them apps can just install themselves
The performance is sluggish after using the phone for some time this smartphone can't handle android 12 it's not coping with it
My mum hate this phone because it's slow crashes freeze up block screen long loading times
Nokia old hardware new software experiment is turning out really badly and it's not even updated too android 13 yet
So It's going get even slower and lag even more frustration level for my mum is already sky high
Battery life my mum had 3 day holiday take this phone
Forgot too bring the changer
She played 6 hours of candy crush and had it for 3 days
When she got back home
The phone had 10% battery left
Camera even without a steady hand this phone takes good pictures
The pictures being taken was under such bad conditions as phone not being held still I asked for the pictures too be retaken
But find out they had come out fine
How the text on the pictures come out readable is amazing
For gaming this smartphone runs stock android that is Ideal for gamer's But it's complicated this phone can be found cheap but
This smartphone is below the bar of specs I recommend for gaming so be warned
Basically for gaming you need bare minimum 8gb ram and probably Snapdragon 845 if u want to be able too play any game on the app store
Light gaming u need 4gb ram mediatek p25 should be enough
I tested
mobile legends bang bang
This game runs smoothly on minimum settings but loading times are slow and the big anti gamer notch gets in the way of the screen
League of legends wild rift
This game runs not kinda sluggish on minimum settings loading times are also really slow
Polywar
Runs mostly smoothly with the occasion Sutters on minimum settings the game runs ok
Candy crush very long loading times sluggish performance complaints
The phone doesn't overheat or thouttle when gaming
This smartphone does have the full functionality of Android it supports spirit screen mode and screen overlays work
Although this smartphone is slow it feels a good 1 or 2 tiers better when watching Netflix without any problems seemed like this phone good till left the app that is
Again I should remind people this a slow phone that freeze sometimes often
The good
Camera
Battery life
Stock android
Price if on sale
720p screen
Ok
Android version updates but at cost of performance
Some per instilled apps
Most games will run the question if they be playable or not is another question
Bad
Android 12 is too heavily
32gb/3gb ram should have been good enough but
Struggles are real with performance
Mediatek processor is underpowered
Notched screen
gesture navigation by default
Sluggish performance
Old hardware
I don't know if I can recommend this phone or not
Main reason is poor performance that is frustrating for some people too use the phone
still
For 75 pound new probably possibility idk

The worst phone in the world. Once you update the OS, it becomes useless. Lagging upon lagging. You can't even pick calls in peace. Don't Buy this phone.

This phone is a joke. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM NOKIA. This is so shitty, just 3 months after buying it, it barely works. Slow and restarts over and over again. This is utter garbage. My friend bought a redmi 10 for almost the same price and that works so well. I cannot believe the difference. I would not regret buying a brick for the same price.

So slow, constantly lags, can't open many links without having to refresh or reboot! The list goes on. I have 2 older and smaller phones & they outperform the Nokia hands down!

Anonymous, 27 Aug 2022False a minimum 4gb ram is enough About ram and Android os
The ram amount is supported by newer versions of Android the Nokia g10 will update too android 13 at least
The Nokia g10 will be fully functional on newer versions of Android just sluggish because of old hardware new software combo with only 3gb ram or 4gb ram but at budget price
8gb ram amount needed for smooth experience on newer versions of Android
