However it's also very much in line with other phone sizes so we just have to get used to the big phones. The feel is very good nevertheless, very solid, it feels like a quality device.

      Carol, 02 Apr 2022Another one talking nothing. Everywhere is clear who hmd ar... moreThey are not ignorant . Thay just make phone for real life centric people .. their philosophy is that phone is a tool not a replacement to reality . So they don't care about blazing fast performance . Instead they care about strong built quality , security updates and good camera hardware with room for plenty room for manual human control over the shots (instead of bad camera hardware compensated by brainless AI that controls your shot , not you ) .


      This may sound like coming from a fanboy but it's true . Every manufacturer has its own philosophy and they make phone for different type of people .

        The Nokia G21 is good when you look at it physically but the system is very poor missing a lots of features specially details about phone that has phone ram which is not showing in the phone, the type of network that it is using eg 2g,3g,4g or 5g network which also not visible , the camera is also very poor

I don't have much to spend so it must be cheap as possible but also a phone that lasts as long as possible so Nokia is my choice. Nokia G21 is very nice I think to order the brown color. It seems that here only the 128GB is the minimum storage cause 64GB is not available.

              I'm done with Nokia now as well as it being a lagging mess now the Microphone has gone absolute heap of junk never will I buy a Nokia again.

                    I think nokia is heading in the right direction overall

                    There a lot nokia done right on this smartphone
                    its a bit more then just a big battery smartphone

                    i do think having a 90hz 720p screen is a really good screen for a mid range smartphone but the notch makes no sense am sure there a big bezel at the bottom of the smartphone for room for word nokia but no room for camera at top of smartphone
                    stock android making the os light i think for the normal person this make this smartphone rather good

                    i do think nokia fans need to tell nokia performance means a lot too them
                    as i think nokia fans value performance and want nokia smartphones to be faster i think nokia fans should tell nokia in there feed back suggest more performance as main improvement needed

                    nokia smartphones have really good software and supported with os updates making this a usable smartphone for years too come it be very sad if there performance don't age so well

                    The Unisoc T606 is questionable i have a gut feeling the MediaTek MT6765G Helio G35 might be better ( nokia g20 has MediaTek MT6765G Helio G35 )

                    it might ok i don't know but would love too see performance tests in both day to day use and in gaming performance also nokia g21 vs nokia g20 i like to see head too head

                    i don't know much about the Unisoc T606 can people fill me in its hard too find info on

                        What is recommended, 3GB of RAM or 4GB? My use case is email, browsing calling and WhatsApp and texting. And some you tube videos. Is there a huge difference in 3 or 4 gigs for this use case?

                            Value for money Nokia G21

                              Denzil, 28 Mar 2022This phone is terrible! I only got it last week and alread... moreMaybe u install a 3rd party launcher or a 3rd party Call app...

                                Nokia G21 after week review.
                                Ok so after a week with the G21, it's ok not amazing the build quality is great it's solid the only thing is the plastic island surrounding the camera lens it scratches and very easily, the textured back is nice and feels great in the hand and adds additional grip.
                                Camera is ok not nothing spectacular but they removed ultrawide from it which was present on the G20 and got good results, the G21 does not have ultrawide I would of preferred if they had taken the useless 2mp macro off and included ultrawide, so this is a backwards step.
                                But that aside It does produce some great photos, but and there is a but when taking a picture there is a shutter lag meaning the subject you are taking a picture of if moving and is the shot you want to take ends up being wrong because of delay this is extremely annoying.
                                Battery for me it's not the best it's 5050mah which is a fair sized battery but does seem to be on the average side with drainage, the charger included is 10w this can handle 18w however I found the 10w sufficient enough for my needs.
                                Performance, ok so when I first got the G21 it was fine loaded the apps I use on my phones which are Whatsapp, Facebook, Messenger, and Flight Radar 24 so the grand total of 4 apps and worked very fluid, but now after the 3rd day I have started to have performance issues this includes sluggish behaviour in main menu and even pulling the drawer down to enable WI-FI it seems to struggle badly then after a few minutes is ok it seems rather odd as this is vanilla Android 11 and is clean, also noticed in apps like Facebook it seems to get bogged down a few times during usage and struggles scrolling.
                                So I am hoping maybe an update can fix all these issues mentioned which I am sure it will be.
                                The version of Nokia G21 I am using is 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage.

                                    Dis is my best fone so far very much relieved after 1 year using Realme fone it was horrible

                                      Mine arrived today and is the 4gb ram, 64gb internal storage, dual sim in colour dusk

                                      First thing I noticed was how light the device feels it's nice.

                                      So the build is solid it's very well built, the rear of the device is fantastic it really does feel nice and the texturization on it adds some extra grip it really is nice to hold it actually feels more on the premium side I am impressed.

                                      On the software side it's been performing nicely with the Unisoc T606 chip not experienced any performance issues with it so far for the tasks I will do on a daily which is Social media, Whatsapp, Web browsing, Calls. Now from a gaming point of view I cannot tell you as I do not game on a phone.

                                      Now the camera takes great photos only thing that disappointed me was the removal of ultrawide which was present on the G20 it really is a shame, I would rather they removed that pointless macro lens they insist on putting on these handsets these days and put the ultrawide back on.

                                      Also I am not a huge fan of the camera island shape and placement I prefer the circular module island to me it sets Nokia apart from the crowd, with this current trend change it's more accustomed to a Moto and looking at it you could slap any manufacturers name on it as it's so generic looking.

                                      Battery is great so far it came with a precharge of 60% and I topped it up to 100% in not much time with the 10w bundled charging brick, I don't know if I will stick with the 10w charging brick I'll have to see when it needs recharging and how long it takes before making the decision to get the 18w charging brick will see.

                                      Calls have been fine clear crisp no problems, loudspeaker for music it's ok nothing spectacular it's no by any means the loudest.
