Nokia G21 6.5” HD+ Smartphone with Android 11, 90 Hz Refresh Rate, 18W Quick Charging Compatible, 4GB RAM and 64GB Storage, 5050 mAh, 50 MP Triple Camera - Nordic Blue

*Includes screen protector and cases Review produced after owning device for nearly a year. Thesedays a mobile device can offer a customer a plethora of functionality often exceeding what is required. Simultaneously, mobiles and tablets often miss out on some plausible functionaility due to software limitations & monetisation. The Nokia G21 features two forms of biometric security, a large front capacitive touch screen device with a haptic feedback system & software 'multi-lens' enhanced camera capability. The phone has basic camera lenses - (2/3) rear and 1 front. If you are used to more expensive mobiles, you perhaps could be a bit dissapointed with the front camera although its more than adequate enough for video calls. The biggest selling point of this phone without a shadow of a doubt is the battery life (5050mAh). Expect with normal low usage 3+ days (new) and 2+ days after the internal battery has seen many complete or incomplete cycles. With frequent camera use, screen use & mobile gaming, it is likely you will be charging the phone at the end of the day. Essentially they'll be minimal worry of the phone running out of charge at an inconvenient time before you reach the end of a day out or at work. From this point of view, the phone provides a worry-free daily user experience. You'll have remaining battery capacity later on in your day and even have the flexibility to be able to turn the phone off when your asleep; waking to sufficient charge. I have never even needed to enable the Andriod super battery saver mode. Ultimately a battery is a consumable component in all mobiles. With the Nokia G21 you get exceptional value for money, with a huge trade off for poor form factor and weight. Something to consider with a mobile device.

Really good buy, easy to use, as my hubby not very technically aware.

I had the Nokia 5 and 5.1 before this that were both excellent phones, despite the occasional software glitch And for the most part I have to say this is the same A good, stylish, solid looking phone, with a decent (although not quite as good as advertised) battery life There is the occasional software glitch, apps that may not open as another app is somehow blocking use even if no apps are open, but this doesn't make it a bad phone, just a bit annoying at times The interface takes a little getting used to, such as not having specific buttons for back or to open the list of open apps etc. I found this annoying at first and almost sent the phone back tbh, but stick with it and it actually feels intuitive after some time of using it The camera is ok, not amazing quality but it's a camera phone, what do you expect All in all I really like this phone, it does everything I need it to and cost me little when compared to others on the market If not for the slightly annoying software glitches i would have happily given It 5 stars

It's buggy, it barely works if you want to use it for anything other than calls and texts. I've used it for two weeks. It's updated and I've had to uninstall over half the apps it comes with to try and get it to work. I have to force stop multiple apps multiple times a day. I have to restart my phone every few hours or no apps will work or open. The camera is absolutely not 50mp I have a 12mp camera that takes superior quality pictures to this phone, that being said largely speaking the camera app crashes immediately upon opening so I've only managed to take one picture out of sheer frustration over the fact this phone just doesn't work and was an absolute waste of money. As I write this the Amazon app has crashed 4 times and this has taken me about 25 minutes to type. Don't do it. It's rubbish and does not fit the specs stated. When it wants to work ,which is less that half the time, it does do things at an okay speed. Bit slow ,but that was expected for the price. I want to return it but not sure I can.

Its a great phone for the price, shop around though as you can get a newer model for similar money. The device chipset is less than desirable; it can be a little laggy with more CPU intensive applications however, with that being said when the phone is not in use the SOC chipset allows the phone battery to last for an incredibly long time. Ive had quiet weekends with no calls and the phone was at 95% battery by bedtime. I had an issue where a Settings page deep in the options was not in English. I reached out to HMD via the app on the phone and within 15mins my device was fixed. I've been receiving regular updates, but I suspect this model will not be getting the Android 14 update. Overall great budget phone.

It's good value and works okay for basic every-day use. Not a brilliant phone for games, though, and just occasionally it lagged behind me when I was using it. What do you expect for the money, though? - it's perfectly usable, but you have to accept it isn't a pricey machine. In general everyday use, literally every part of it works absolutely fine. Nothing impressive and it's clearly a low-end phone. Think the Dacia of phones. It feels solid enough in use, but mine lasted maybe a year before the audio gave out. They repaired that and then around six months later the thing refused to boot and they told me my warranty was up. Which is disappointing when you consider it isn't supposed to be a 2 year warranty. Maybe I was unlucky with 2 failures, or maybe it simply isn't a very durable device.

I always have a nokia phone but not like this one I absulutely love ❤️ this phone it wasen't expensive and a big one that I like as I usually have a 950 I am.looking forward 2 setting this up tommorow and using it really worth the money very quick delivery aswell

A number of the other reviews here almost put me off when considering whether to buy what turned out to be an excellent phone. The build quality surpassed my expectations in light of the fact that I ended up paying less than £100 for the device. Switching between apps is seamless and the 90hz refresh rate makes for a pleasurable experience. It's dual sim, has NFC capability and, unlike my previous phone, allows me to make contactless payments. Transferring apps and data from my old phone was an easy process; far less laborious than I had anticipated. In short, I am delighted with this purchase. I haven't owned a Nokia phone since the 90's. However, this brand will be my first port of call when replacing my phone in the future.
