Sin, 09 Nov 2022Nokia G11 Plus 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM

Pixel devices receive almost 5 years of os and security updates, you don't see them slowing down. Also never had a nokia slowing down, not with android, and especially not with windows phone.
So yeah, the moral of the story is, if is true what you say, that they never updated to android 10 with that hardware, well. Is them to blame, or money. Nokia 9 also has sd 845 with 6 GB RAM and never showed one lag on a10 and would still be great with android 12 if that camera fiasco would have not been an impediment.

And my Nokia 8 with just 4GB of RAM runs much faster than any Android that can cost as five times or more. Only Google chrome crashed once and that's because of having over 250 tabs open.

Minu, 09 Nov 2022Exactly. The technological industry is nothing more than a ... moreNokia G11 Plus 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM
It should have moderate performance
The question is how smooth it will run after 1 or 2 Android version updates and people installed all of the apps they need on it
Will it be smooth enough after a year
I can't say for sure either way
I know 8gb ram & 128 ROM is minimum too be smooth
The razer brand made a gaming smartphones said how powerful they where originally later
didn't update the razer phone 2 too Android 10 the reason there given for this
was the smartphone was too underpowered too be able too run Android 10 smoothly enough
They got a lot of hate from there customers for this although as the razer phone 2 specs are Snapdragon 845 & 8gb ram

Carol, 09 Nov 2022Ok, never heard of umidigi, probably chinese corporation?umidigi yes It is chinese brand
It's got a high trust rating on trustpiolt
Although am not sure if the umidigi smartphone can be classified as brand name smartphones or not they have a generic clone feel too them
The umidigi a9 pro 8gb ram we have comes up on phone finder as a Samsung a9 pro from 2016 on gsmarena
This kinda is rather common weirdness and strangeness often find on generic clones smartphones it trick gsmarena that it is a smartphone that it clearly is not
My best guess is everything manufacturered in China
and it's a clone phone ?
so is umidigi using spare left over motherboards from other brands or spare parts just put together inside a umidigi named body and screen idk

Carol, 08 Nov 2022A questioning the devices they owe, how much they cost and ... moreSometimes a good device Is cheaper then a more expensive device
It was so impressive we thought it was too good to be true at the time
The umidigi a9 pro 8gb ram a year ago did blow are minds how good it was for the given price it was selling for at the time
We had smartphones from Samsung apple Xiaomi & sony in the house family owned at similar price they cost but the umidigi a9 pro 8gb ram out class them all
It could even hold its own up against mid range from Xiaomi in performance one of my sisters got a Xiaomi X3 NFC on sale for 230 pound
So the umidigi was in the same tier as the Xiaomi but only cost 135 pound nearly half the price on top of that it's free of blootware and ads on top
All of the old flagships and budget smartphones are out classd by the umidigi a9 pro 8gb ram we had
The umidigi a9 pro
It's OS & UI are stock Android it's not the most refined software it's slightly buggy but it's a good experience too use and fast and system stability is good
But today it's much more expensive and the modern version the umidigi a13 pro are selling over 200 pound in the uk
Not ever smartphone at the same price point is equal
Often bargain hunting is how we have gotten such good deals

Luckily, Nokia made a decent base model with the Nokia G11 Plus since it has 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. It wouldn't cripple very quickly tbh

Nokia just license the Nokia name for hmd global too make Nokia branded smartphones or offtech too make Nokia branded laptops
So Nokia phones are just all OEM smartphones
My experience is only with Android smartphones from hmd global OEM Nokia branded smartphones
I never brought windows phone

Minu, 08 Nov 2022That's why it's totally worth buying Nokia phones... moreTrue yeah
I did try too buy the better versions
I do agree
base models are never worth it and shouldn't even be made
different storage & ram versions of the same smartphone just shouldn't exist it's sneakly and bad
The problem is every time you go too buy the good version is out of stock so the seller trys too send the crap version instead
It's all too easy for all of the smartphone too get mixed up as well as all the smartphones look the same as each other on top
The normal person won't even be able tell the difference between them
The Chinese brands are the worsened of all for this as they fake specs on top or change out parts from one production sample too another
Only the tech reviewers get the silicon lottery winner smartphones with highest quality parts
Hidden downgrades are made after this for the general consumers who have too live with the smartphones
So many things big tech industry does that really does hurts the customers

And try making it a rule of thumb not to buy the base models of which phone you are going to buy. If you had gone for the 4GB RAM variant, it would be totally worth it
And I believe there's some way to downgrade the OS

I won't be recommending Nokia unless Nokia smartphones unless there really cheap like Alcatel
My mum really does hate the Nokia brand
So I won't get her another one
All of my family does hate the Nokia brand for some reason or another
So yeah alternative brand phone it is
I care about the customers not the brand
Myself am very concerned about the new Nokia phones
Am still a loyal customer myself and I guess long-term Nokia fan Still

zaryan, 08 Nov 2022the 4gb variant of g10 is little bit better on Android 12 ... moreYeah
Nokia needs too increase the ram amount in future budget smartphones they make & ideally the battery size
Manufacturing costs of ram is a cheap part in today's market so maxed out the supported ram on processor is the what Nokia should be doing
Also battery are cheap in manufacturing costs
So Nokia should just put 6000mah 7000mah or 8000mah batterys inside there smartphones
Nokia shouldn't really make smartphones with batterys under 5000mah ideally Nokia should make removable batterys and sell replacement batterys
There's are both easy improvements Nokia can make
Nokia smartphones are supposed too last for years so
Nokia does need too future proof the battery so the battery life is still good enough after 3 years & ram for future android versions

Minu, 07 Nov 2022The best thing is to wait for stable updates. Totally worth itThat's what i did with my Nokia 3.1
The smartphone was just old new stock so when i buy it all updates happened in one go all know bugs already find and fixed or at least most of them
The problem with the Nokia g10 it is too modern easy os rollback is a feature that is screaming out load how badly it is needed on the Nokia smartphones
The Nokia g10 is really suffering on android 12 badly i don't know what it was like on android 11 but damn it shouldn't run this badly
Nokia huge mistake with processor & android version pairing
MediaTek Helio G25 is a Low end budget processor from 2020
but it's got the very tall order too run android 12 & omg android 13
on top of all that it's got too try too manage with only 3gb ram
Google also making the later versions android brutally heavy on hardware also android 12 runs badly on like ever budget phone even mid range phones are not safe from this
and android really bad ram management system in need of improvement
i read and seen so many complaints about performance on new smartphones
MediaTek Helio G25 was not made with this in mind ??
The odds are stacked against it

I know how it is because my parents are the same, they don't understand dismissing apps or closing tabs, deleting junk files or not enabling notifications from random websites they visit.
The G10 is a slow phone with a poor chipset, but the X10 for £150 on Amazon at the moment is a good deal. It doesn't matter what brand your mum uses if she uses her phone in the same way she will encounter issues.

we bought a Umidigi a9 pro 8gb ram 128ufs storage mediatek hello p60
smartphone for only 135 pound brand new
for my little sister
The Umidigi brand is know for there shocking high specs for shocking low pricing
and stock android not only does Umidigi do all that at such low price
it's a well built smartphone that is reliable & high quality
The Umidigi a9 pro 8gb ram really does blow the other brands out the the water
such a beast a smartphone it is
sadly the prices have gone up so we can't just buy another one
not at that price anymore :((
