isn't it the 8GB version? I don't think there's even a 12GB version of the G42 but I can be mistaken

So unfair that nokia are releasing a special edition g42 with 16gb ram/256gb storage option in India.
In the uk, local retailers only stock 4gb ram, and 6gb can be purchased online only.
India also has the option of a 8gb variant.
This is so unfair. It seems nokia is neglecting their eu/uk customer base in favor of their international base. 8GB and 16GB ram is good future proofing for a device like this.
Why does the uk only get 4gb or 6gb ram? Do Nokia think uk customers don't multi task or use multiple apps or don't game? Are uk customers not worthy of a smooth user experience? 4gb ram is worthless. 6gb is very basic.
Why treat their eu/uk customer base like this?

Mr Google , 11 Oct 2023Touch response problem maybe caused by glass screen protect... moreSo you mean to say that screen protectors are not permissible on this device. Might be, you mean to say that this device warrants very high quality screen protectors. If this is the case then the device should have come with its own special purpose screen protector supplied by HMD.
Update build can fix the problem, only If the display manufacturer updates their driver if and only if it is a driver related issue. But, if it happens to be a hardware fault nothing can be done by HMD or the display manufacturer.
As far as software updates of any sort are concerned, it is related with Android OS and no one can forget that this device employs Stock Android and NOT some Custom UI. Also, HMD has plenty of past experiences in dealing with the employed SOC in this device.
Android governance is the job of Google and device manufacturers can do nothing about it, as long as they seek Google's services. The job of a mobile device manufacturer is just to match the device driver of concerned hardware parts with Android OS. The job gets little tedious only if the device manufacturer employs their own Custom UI. But, every software job has been made simpler by Google after Google's introduction of Project Treble. To put it precisely, software bugs can be easily fixed after Project Treble. The only thing that remains is the real heart to provide these services.

G42owner, 10 Oct 2023Before making the g42 purchase this past weekend, I looked ... moreTouch response problem maybe caused by glass screen protector. So if you installed on a screen guard then check it.
If not that, the update build will fix the problem. Thanks

Big plusses are battery and repairability and the combination of both, cuz when the battery is not good you can change it yourself

Before making the g42 purchase this past weekend, I looked over all of these remarks on here.
I was initially apprehensive due to some of the
poor feedback, but I decided to take the chance
because I
adore pure Android, it's less expensive than a pixel,
and the specs appear to be adequate.
Since I started using the phone on Saturday,
I've found it to be somewhat underwhelming. Definitely a screen-related issue. Simply said, it feels sluggish and unresponsive
and
does not react quickly to touches.
The lengthy battery life, stock android, and surprisingly respectable sound speaker output are the benefits. However, the laggy touch issue makes utilizing
messaging applications like WhatsApp, Snapchat,
and Telegram rather troublesome and
disheartening. I wonder if a software update will be able to
remedy this? Is there anybody that knows if
this is possible or is this a hardware related
issue?

Anonymous, 29 Sep 2023Lol! that's your answer?! for the long paragraph you w... moreYeah! True. Everything depends on your understandings, likes and beliefs. Take what you want and leave the rest or leave everything. To be precise, even our Earth is nothing in this Universe though our Ego and desires are bigger than everything in this Universe. Hence, what I shared here is nothing as you've said. After all, it is just about the money you expend on this device. No one will go poor if they purchase this device. Hence there is nothing wrong to purchase this device or any device in the market. Above all, Money is a Thing which has to be expended without which it has no value. Good luck.
