"You get what you pay for" and at £189 that's nothing at all in todays phone world - I went for this phone as i simply wish not to spend a grand on a phone. Despite what power they posses in todays world. However i was bitterly disappointed.
There was some malfunction with the software from the moment go. I even had thoughts as to the phone being second hand. Battery draining 40% over night. Stuck it on ultra power saving mode over night and still dropped 10%.In battery usage settings, the WIFI showing it has been in use for 180 odd days and is using 800% battery despite me only owning the phone for a matter of hours...What this means, i have no idea. Sending a text is painfully slow and sometimes you have to retry due to it failing. On a call and suddenly high pitch beeping will occur every few seconds. "beep beep beep beep" "beep beep beep beep". The general speed of the phone was laggy. It felt as fast as a 2 year old Iphone that was due for an upgrade despite being fresh out of the box. Spoke to a Nokia rep on chat and they seemed disinterested in the fact that my new phone is not fit for purpose and seemed more concerned with ending the chat. They hastily reminded me i can return the phone within 30 days - something tells me this isn't a rare occurrence. I wanted to give Nokia a chance, being that it was the powerhouse in mobile phone technology during my teenage years. I wanted it to work to end the monopoly of Iphone and Samsung but it failed on a monumental level. I have since sent the phone back and purchased a Desire 22 pro from HTC. Already seeing vast improvements in the speed and other areas. HTC Battery did not drop a single percent overnight and this was not in battery saver mode. At £329 i feel i have gotten something good for the price point but i dont feel i have broken the bank just to say i have the latest model of Iphone or Samsung. If you have more money that £200 to spend on a phone then i would avoid the Nokia. I hope it was just a faulty phone but i didnt wan to waste the time and stress of swapping it for a new one, running the risk of it failing for a second time. Fool me once shame on you....

Am sure people who buy this phone themselves if it's good or bad
Am sure people will decide who they agree with

For £100 good phone
For £150 below average
For £200 stay away

This phone may or may not freeze up and be sluggish
Modern full androidOne Software is very heavy with too little ram amount in hardware specs

I leave with a tip if phone hard freeze up just hold down the power bottom too power it off then turn it back on
it fix many problems bugs or performance problems

Carol, 26 Mar 2023Well, then that's the problem, the phones you buy are ... moreActually it's the other way around there too expensive
For what they can do
Just Telling people just pay more don't help
We don't have more money or time of day or knowledge

It's very important have a functional affordable budget opinion
My feelings negative because smartphones that normal people can actually afford not reviewed by tech industry

Your average person only has budget £50 but could possibly stretch the budget too £100 for a smartphone

I am pretty sure that there is a need of thinking change in you. You want to go further but without a positive attitude, that negativity won't be changing anything any time soon believe me. You need to force yourself to think more positive and know what you want. Think and believe that you will get it. If you want something and think that you will never be able to get it, well you won't. There is a very good saying i always try to follow: If you change yourself, you change the world.

I do try learn more but it's hard and it's takes time which I simply don't have the time spending hours every time just too troubleshooting technical problems

I can't fix everything and don't have the time too fight with a phone not working or spend hours trying just find a solution just be able use a phone

I just want plug and play I want a device I buy work out of the box

Nokia fan, 25 Mar 2023We shouldn't be caught up in arguing about who's ... moreWhat am basically saying is the Nokia products hardware is too weak for the software they run

This makes Nokia phones barely even usable and unbearable and insufferable experience too use

The Nokia g22 should be a androidgo phone realistically for basic usage only

There is no point installing modern os on old hardware updates are pointless as hardware specs stay rubbish

Sin, 24 Mar 2023You clearly have never heard of the saying the customer is ... moreI do not side with anybody. I side with the truth, i cannot ignore the truth or the facts,just because of someone that does not want to understand it. I am sorry that you think that you are not successful, but that does not mean that you cannot change that, or never stop trying👍. Find something you like and learn so much about it, so much that you can make money out of it. You are in UK, their are posibilities, but the only way to come out, is to learn, learn and learn again. And accept the facts and the truth no matter if you like it or not, it won't change, so what's the point of going against it?

Sin, 24 Mar 2023hardware and software evolve together yeah but in bad way... moreWith software and hardware also binaries evolved. Before you had an VGA resoulution videos, hack even lower like qqvga, Now you want 4k and 8k, what do you espect? To run 4k on 20 years old hardware? Also, OS designs,, WebSites that are now dynamic and that mostly are now WebApps and work with a huge amont of data and binaries. very old hardware can't cope with that, no matter the OS. Games that went from 8 bit 4k and so on. The whole tech world evolved, and nothing in a bad way as you keep on screeming. You can't run new 4k screens with a >VGA GPU, now would you? But you want them, now don't you? Or you think you can?
I already said, i am done talking with you tech, you clearly have no idea what that is.

And other people can prove this don't even need own a Nokia phone use Nokia apps can sideload them into anything

Yes u can disable it but even Alcatel joy os still let least let u unstall FB lite
But androidone is being a crappy os there days
Not too mention crappy android 14 lock down

Nokia c01 plus
It can barely even play a video without the browser closing it's self can't even turn on it's own needs the changer plug in help it boot up

It's definitely got potential if you're able replace the soldered down ram
The unisoc chipset support up too 4gb ram but Nokia is very tight give it only 1gb ram

Surely u see the problem this is too hard too fix for most people

yeah but in bad way

Now additional power is needed for most basic & simple tasks but don't in the past but it's not the same anymore

Modern Software is by design too slows down hardware in unacceptable way so user is has no opinion but too upgrade

Old hardware will perform like trash thanks too bad new software

Androidgo actually has very bad optimization run like trash
however android 4 will run on nearly anything however software optimization alone isn't enough so strong hardware is needed on top

If this fb crapp app cannot be uninstalled as you say, it can still be disabled, and by not using it, will for sure not display ads. So you see, again, lack of understanding, but screaming left and right how bad everything is. Give me your phones and i will make them all work at their best potential in a matter of 2 hours.

If you would care more to learn, you'll be searching what TPM is and why it is important for the new times and why it has nothing to do with legacy hardware functionality, as windows 11 can run on anything but will miss two important functions: Drive encryption and System "Core Isolation". TPM is in short: hardware security implementation. Works with the help of a separate chip that is not contained in old PC's. So nope,ms is not to blame that my pc does not have this chip. To use this chip with their Windows makes a lot of sense. To force it accross the map with new installations, well not quite force, one can still work arround it quite easily, would be quite the normal outcome of evolving hardware and software.
