Nokia G21 review

9 March 2022


Sort by:

So i've tried the demo Nokia G21 at the Nokia Store ... here is the REAL review and not just a BASHING comment that some people didn't even tried the phone ....

The design of the Nokia G21 is very outdated HOWEVER you can really see it is durable. But i still recommend if you plan to buy this phone that you must put tempered protection since it isn't Gorilla Glass .. I have Nokia Lumia before , Gorillas Glass , it fell to the rocky ground and it didn't break the glass. I trust Nokia for its durability but we all know that ALL SMARTPHONES with this large front screen is fragile.. so it really depends on how you care your phones.

Nokia G21 camera is NOT GOOD for MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY and VIDEOGRAPHY ... When you just want to capture for MEMORIES then it is FINE 😊

Nokia G21 performance for apps like Youtube, Google, Facebook etc. is VERY smooth, HOWEVER , Nokia G21 is not built for gaming, like those gaming apps (genshin impact, call of duty, etc) that need the best processors. You might be experiencing lag.

Connecting signal to wi-fi and network simcards is fast.

For the price here in PH (PHP 9990). it's just 174 EUR , 178 USD... So i must say it is very practical to buy with this 6GB RAM /128 storage ..

Should I still buy Nokia G21? Yes 😊😁😍

      I have compared this to the other budget 50mp ones in low light. it doesn't seem like its doing the pixel binning even if it outputs 12.5mp, so it rather opted for really high iso to compensate, which makes it a really bad looking photo.
      I assume the unisoc's isp VIVIMAGIC 5.0 is what caused this rather than the software.

            It deserves more than 3.2 stars out of 5 I think it's at least worth 4 stars out of 5 this phone is extremely underrated

                  Lava makes shitty phone . Yes true . But doesn't mean they can't make quality products. But what you said it's true I hate the fact that Nokia let's odm companies to make their product. I think purity is what makes Nokia unique among all this companies. I think Nokia 6.2 was the last product in India that Nokia itself made after 4.2 it's all made by other companies. But I don't think they have qualities ( because they are made by company like lava) unless HMD global intense it to have quality issues. Another issue in that Nokia now iteration of their models for instance in India and China they have c20 plus variant . That's not true Nokia. Now I am using Nokia 6.1 Plus and I will buy a Nokia again if they choose to manufacture their product themselves .

                    The battery is good also 126h test is very good I am gonna buy this phone soon.

                      AnonD-785804, 31 Mar 2022Then why is design of Nokia mobiles are not same shittty as... more"Even if outsourced to ODMs brand Hmd or Nokia still have their control over how device should look like"
                      Then why are they even outsourcing to ODMs if they can design their phones?
                      Really? Is that why every HMD phone since 7.2/6.2 looks same?
                      All the same design with circular camera housing on center. The only change being the position of front camera.
                      Now they've got a new and will stick to it for next 2 years

                      You know what? Look that that chart a bit better. HMD is more dependent on ODMs than every major global manufacturer.

                      "Try using 33, 65, 150W charging on an iPhone...."
                      Who are you exactly? Conspiracy theorist?
                      Here's the answer for your question:
                      You can charge the iPhone with charger of any wattage. It's the iPhone that'll determine at which speed it'd charge, and not charger
                      Fun Fact: Apple has strictly recommended using a MINIMUM of 20W for iPhone 12 and later
                      Better watch MKBHD's recent video on the same.
                      Ohh. And guess what? Apple and Samsung fandogs also said this until both of them bumped the charging speed. The only outcome was they were half a decade behind OnePlus and OPPO.

                      "And first you vomited that Nokia are made in China...."
                      It seems you're too pre-occupied with drinking and vomiting and misrepresented the fact that I never claimed that HMD is manufactured "SOLELY" in China.
                      Not to mention, HMD has the largest portfolio amongst major global manufacturers of the products that are using Unisoc's chipsets. Which is a China based brand of the similar size of HMD. In reality, HMD is more Chinese than the Chinese themselves.

Even if outsourced to ODMs brand Hmd or Nokia still have their control over how device should look like. And first you vomited that Nokia are made in China and then now you vomit(stoopid comments) that Nokia is made in India.

                        Try using 33, 65, 150W charging on an iPhone and see how fast the battery health level reduced within one year and try same iPhone with 5W charger and see the battery health level. That will prove you my point of normal charging.

                          AnonD-785804, 29 Mar 2022Do have a note that HMD produce many mobiles in Indian manu... moreYou better note that those phones (designed by CHINESE ODMs and slapped "NOKIA" on back by HMD) are manufactured by Lava in India.
                          And Lava is brand that was well know for one of the worst quality handsets and got bankrupt for the same.

                          P.S: My another reply is under moderation. Wait for that

                              SShreyas, 13 Mar 2022Lol. I like how fandogs keep defending brands (even a fraud... moreWhen people like you.. only you.. can defend Chinese products and call Nokia fans or normal consumers comments as fandog comment.. if you don't like it please don't follow this thread. Fully junking with hate comments about Nokia. You use and tell until then you are the conspiracy fellow!

                              I use it so I defend it. We have Nokia 5, 5.1+, 6.1, 5.3 & 2.4. I used all for a month and gave to family members. They are all happy for using it more than a year. None complaints.

                              My Nokia 2.4 serves me with phone call, sms, WhatsApp, telegram, browsing, mails, Instagram, OTT, scanning documents into images and such my daily works.

                              It lasts the promised SOT 10 hour or 2 day whichever is earlier. I charge once it reaches 15% mostly overnight charging.

                              When 2.4 performs seamlessly, why can't G21 or G11. And they have faster charging too and nicer processor.

                              Only lifeless people do heavy so called gaming. Not someone who is earning for family. We don't have time also for all that. Basic settings most games do work in this 2.4 mobile so it will work well on G21,G11.

                                AnonD-785804, 28 Mar 2022I use Nokia 2.4 with 4500mah battery that lasts 2 days. SOT... moreAs I said.That phone had P22 if I am not wrong and is one of the basic smartphone of the Nokia lineup.
                                I don't remember RAM or storage options, but I am certain that 2.4 can't run any of the heavy apps.
                                So, even if you want, you can't use it heavily.

                                Also, I don't think any manufacturer have mandated anyone to use charger of a particular wattage. The advantage of 30W/65W charging is that, you can charge it at that rate, whenever you want. But you can't do it with HMD.

                                And I'd suggest you to watch MKBHD's recent video regarding the same topic rather than believing adverts and conspiracy theories.
