I am a satisfied owner of this phone. I know it isn't for power users, but for me it is more than enough. I use it for light gaming and chatting, not much else, but the experience is just fine. I love clean android look, and I plan to keep this phone for a while.

        A regular user and a fan of Nokia, been using Nokia android phones since they took over from Microsoft and HMD got their back. But my experience with this G21 is something else and is making me change my mind on Nokia devices henceforth. I had this device somewhere December last year. Overall usage is cool just Google Chrome which lags at sometimes, also it kinda lags a bit when you're under direct sunlight. That isn't a problem to me though since it's an entry level device and I can't expect it to be like a Flagship device but my challenge is I've been deceived with OS Update and Security Patch Update. HMD promised OS Update and Security Patch Update but we're in February of 2023 and Android 14 would be released in no time I believe but here I am stuck on Android 11 with September 2022 Security Patch. I will advice anyone buying this device to have a second thought based on just that. If I knew this is how it would be for this particular device I would have picked an alternative from Samsung within same price range with OS and Security Patch Update which is a priority to me. Think of any other device if you're yet to buy but if you're cool with this update lies by HMD Global then go ahead and by this crap Congratulations.

                  Is this phone any good? cause the phone has Stock Android which i'm interested in.

                    My review after using Nokia G21 for 7 months. Still on Android 11.

                    1. Phone lags under direct sunlight or if it's a bright cloudy day. I usually tilt the phone at 60° angle away from the sun and the lagging temporarily stops.

                    2. The Nokia G21 jack (place where where to insert the earphones/headphones pin) not working after 1 month of usage. I was told to do factory reset which I haven't done because I can use Bluetooth to listen to music.

                    3. Battery quality is still good.

                    4. Camera quality is good.

                    5. Charging quality is still the same.

                    6. Phone doesn't overheat when watching TikTok clips, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook, twitter and Whatsapp

                    7. The TikTok app hanged once while watching TikTok clips for 30 minutes.

                    8. The TikTok app hanged once while creating and uploading 10 TikTok clips on my account simultaneously.

                    9. Browsing is super fast on chrome or Firefox browser.

                    10. Switching between apps doesn't cause phone to hang.

                      Nokia Fan preparing to take HMD to court for failing to keep it's promise of updating Nokia G21 to Android 12

                            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 ..

                                      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.
