People barely browsed the web on their phones. There wasnt much social media or productivity apps on phones. It was mainly communication purposes.

Nokia G42's Video looks clear when shooting in 1x , but the moment you try to zoom anything beyond 1x the video becomes / looks grainy. I know the digital crop makes it a bit grainy but at least till 2x should had been clear as the Photos taken in 2x looks clear. The problem is only in video. Hope developers solve it in future updates.

I don't think its a software issue anymore i think its hardware otherwise hmd would have fixed. I've already contacted hmd support a few times and they keep saying engineers are looking into it. I've exchanged my g42 3 times with hmd. They have been very good with exchanges. But i had touch issue with all 3. I am keeping it though because of easy battery replacement. But g42 is not very fluid to use. A lot of other cheaper phones from other phone brands have better touch responses, but cannot easily replace battery or parts. So g42 is good for this reason. It's just not very good to use

This phone has a good camera for the price. I have encountered an issue with the touch response of the panel it sorts of lags, though when you browse with chrome there is no problem, it might be due to a software issue, has anyone else found the same problem?

safin asa, 29 Dec 2023I Guess There is Some Samsung Haters Around...If everyone LOVES only Samsung mobiles, there can be no other mobile manufacturers around which would make even Google bankrupt because, if Samsung becomes the only mobile manufacturer in this world they would build their own Operating System which would render Android useless. But, there is a valid point in your comment. Most of the people in this world wants to have all the cake for themselves. Most of us don't like to share.

Nokia G42's Stock Android is really good; But Nokia Developers needs to add more other software features like 3 fingers screenshot and quick action buttons on lock-screen (i.e. torch, camera opening etc.), PC/laptop wireless connectivity feature for easy data transfer (similar to Samsung Dex / Motorola's Ready For) and a Game Mode. Hoping they'll add these features in their upcoming software updates.

Dude, get over yourself, the totality of Symbian phones weren't otg enabled compared to the plethora of Android phones. IOS is indeed boring to use, that's a fact. But in no way, i got bored of Android, after 7 years, IOS hasn't changed but Android changed a lot.
Microsoft had a lot of potential with Windows mobile, yet they effed up big time and Kai OS in all of that?? I think that shiit died because I don't see any phones launched with Kai os recently

It only enlightened me about the feature of our world dramatically which projects its future. For your information, I didn't reply to your comment but commented back. There is a lot of difference between a comment and reply. This GSMarena column is an open book and is not your private blog. Anyone can comment and reply to any other's post(s). Thanks for asking me to smile. I think, you will never mind if I laugh. Good luck.

By the way your comment is so pathetic, if you don't like my comment save your energy and don't reply on it, simple as it is. Probably that is too hard for you to understand, it's bitter to hear but a fact is a fact as you said. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to smile now and then!
