One of the worst handset in my life...The touchscreen crap, phone laggy out of the blue, fingerprint reader is a hit or miss (sometimes stuck in a loophole) Honestly it is not midrange, it is low range mid level....

    Its not Wi-Fi 6. (802.11ax) It just claims the ability to move to wi-fi 6 in the future even though its been out since "2023, June 28" its still not had the relevent update.

        What is the little hole on the lower board between the stereo jack and the usb port used for? On other models like Nokia g21 there are two such holes, one on the lower an one on the higher board.

            Poor selfie camera at 8 Mp. In 2024 this could be better. Nokia is small company and is trying too many things at once. Needs to concentre on one phone

              What does Nokia trying to do? Who needs this phones?
              Nokia should work on AR/VR Glasses if they want to come back to market, because mobile phone industry is already peaked.

                    Anonymous User, 01 Sep 2024I had posted a review on Amazon.in about the Nokia G42 5G (... moreI am the same "Anonymous" who had posted this original message about the update issue.

                    Finally after multiple emails and chats with HMD support/ Nokia Care teams, I received the 00WW_2_350 update for G42 5G (Model TA-1586). Now that some OTA related bug is resolved from HMD's end, hopefully all future updates will be available smoothly as and when they get released.

                          Never buy g42 in India. The product is marred by issues . Fist I noticed the last camera glass is loose . I thought to live with it because my love for stock os was far bigger than a loose camera glass .

                          Then I came to face production defects one by one . First 2 dead pixels, then lint on top of front camera , then I went to shop to apply tempered glass .. there the shopkeeper said the 4 sides of glass is wavy so air gaps will remain on side no matter what ...

                            swaraj, 01 Sep 2024does antone know which camera sensors are used in this mode... moreThe Nokia X30 uses the GN5, the G42 uses the JN1. I complain a lot about that sensor because it's so widespread, but images on the G42 were nice for the price range during my time using the phone, before gifting to my dad.

                                      Just wondered peoples thoughts about the difference between the 4GB RAM and the 6GB RAM. For a non-tech savvy person, is there a noticeable difference?

HMD is abysmal when it comes to customer care. I went to the service centre to manually flash the A14 update. No monthly updates received after that. HMD should be sued left, right and centre for such attitude.
