Jim, 03 Oct 2022I have a question, how is it possible that nokia N9, a phon... moreI was wondering the same. Some of my old Lumia phones had much better image quality. I understand that they were probably on the higher end at the time, bur surely the image processing technology has improved.
even on Lumia 650
My feeling is that they intentionally make the image quality lower so you can be pushed to buy more expensive phones. Or maybe they put 50mp camera as a marketing gimmick, but the processing isn't enough

    Anyone received Android 12 ? Looks like my G21 stucks with Android 11 till September 2022 Security update. Neither VPN nor other solutions work to grab update. Feeling disappointed ..

            Hi,
            a nice new device from nostalgic Nokia. However, I am so wonder why Nokia does not include other sensors like as compass which is highly applicable particularly to find Qibleh!

I know Nokia is not how it used to be, but if I really wanted a "good" Nokia phone, then I'll buy their high-end models instead of buying the entry-level/mid-range units and then complain about it's not good.

                Av been looking for a Nokia phone which can play music during a call for both parties just as the Nokia C7 Astound did.
                Anyone with a good suggestion guys ?
                I thought G21 did but i was terribly wrong...😏🥴

                    PeterEgwu, 07 Dec 2022I just bought the Nokia G21, that's the 3g ram and 64g... moreWell you have got a point bro. Nokia is now just making good mid-range/budget phones for the normal people and id say that Nokia phones are really good these days

                      I just bought the Nokia G21, that's the 3g ram and 64gb memory. I don't think this phone is bad as many are saying. If you don't like Nokia just Don't come here and say rubbish. No mobile phone company is perfect. This phone is good, just use it moderately depending on the size of ram. I bought it for videos and other things but I have not tested it on games and the phone is giving me good functioning.

                        For those that have Android 11 on Nokia G21, I understand the lag and freezing we encounter when we expose our phone to direct sunlight or if it is a bright cloudy day.

                        The solution to this according to the Nokia Forum is install android 12 on your phone and the lagging under sunlight or bright cloudy day shall officially end.

                        Currently HMD global is rolling out Android 12 on the G21 in phases. Kindly wait for your country.

                            Doesn't change the fact that the G21 is a pretty sad excuse of a phone compared to previous ones. I'm currently considering switching back to the 5.3 despite the display having a big crack on the right side just because it's better than the G21 in pretty much every way.

                                Been through a bunch of Nokia phones (Nokia 6, Nokia 5.1 & 5.2, to name a few) since they started making Android phones. This one does absolutely not live up to the previous ones. The on-paper specs look great but it's a laggy inconsistent mess that doesn't receive much attention from Nokia. My daughter's Nokia 3.2 got an Android 12 update a while ago, I'm still on Android 11..! Seriously, you should be able to get a lot more for your money than this.

In the Galaxy a03, it's not only battery efficient but runs extremely well, in the moto e20, same thing, runs extremely well with 2gb of ram, on realme, that's the same story.........but on Nokia, it doesn't run smoothly at all, Nokia software is not good, a pale copy of google pixel UI

                                      Genuinely dissatisfied
                                      This phone boasts so many features, quality and heavily emphasizes on quality.

                                      By far one of the worst phones I've ever owned, camera is definitely not great at all.

                                      Microphone is horrible, lags a lot and does not feel like my previous Nokia's.

                                      My work phone Nokia 6.1 is genuinely quite a lot better than this one and it's actually a lot faster on my apps and the camera works a lot better.

                                      Sound quality is definitely below average.

                                        Nokia has beaten up by their own business and product policies.
