Nokia G50

For the last several years, Nokia has gone all-in on the low-cost phone industry, rolling out a number of low-cost Android devices annually in an effort to reach customers across the whole price spectrum. It has three ranges for 2021, reversing its approach somewhat. It altered its approach somewhat for 2021 and now has three price points to choose from. The G-series is the most inexpensive out of the newly launched line-ups. So, there you have it. The new G50 is a perfect example of this. It has a large screen and plenty of battery life for a 5G phone. Here is everything you need to know before making any decision.

Nokia G50 price in India

The Nokia G50 is now available for purchase in the United Kingdom for £199, which includes 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. In the United States and Australia, a variant with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is available for $299.99/AU$449, respectively.

Nokia G50 5G Design

It has been a priority for HMD Global to preserve Nokia’s reputation for reliable architecture since it took over the company’s smartphone division. That trend is unquestionably carried on with the Nokia G50. With a metal structure and a back cover that is both pleasant to the touch and softly curved, it’s a really well-built smartphone for the price.

The Nokia G50’s size is one thing it has in common with other contemporary Nokia phones. It’s a huge guy indeed, measuring 173.83 x 77.68mm in size and an impressive 8.85mm in thickness. While all is going on, the phone itself weighs a whopping 220g.

The power button, which doubles as a fast and reliable fingerprint sensor, is located halfway up the right side of the smartphone, making it convenient to operate.

Nokia G50 5G Display

The Nokia G50’s screen is enormous by any measure. It’s even bigger than flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, at 6.82 inches. With the exception of brightness, the Nokia G50 manages to reach a reasonable 450 nits in normal use but falls short in every other aspect. Unfortunately, this isn’t the most vivid example of an IPS LCD panel. Further complicating matters is the lack of sharpness, which the large canvass only serves to emphasise. The addition of a 60Hz refresh rate is also a step backwards.

Nokia G50 5G Performance

The Snapdragon 480 5G in the Nokia G50 is the same as the one found in the Moto G50 and the Oppo A54 5G, all of which are mid-range devices. It’s a good low-end sprinter, but it’s not quite as good as some of the competition. The Nokia G50 comes with 4GB of RAM and there is a 6GB model also available. Users in the UK get 64GB of storage space, while those in the United States and Australia receive 128GB of storage space, respectively.

As a result of Nokia’s dedication to Android One, a bare-bones version of Google’s mobile operating system, every Nokia-branded phone now has a distinct edge over competing models.

Nokia G50 5G Camera

The Nokia G50 has a triple camera system, however, it’s not truly a triple camera system, as is the norm these days with less expensive phones. The 48MP wide sensor with an f/1.8 aperture is the star of the show here. A 5MP ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP depth assistance round out the camera’s features. The latter, on the other hand, is not a camera in and of itself. An 8MP front-facing camera, hidden in the teardrop notch, is in charge of taking selfies.

Nokia G50 5G Battery

Power consumption is one of the Nokia G50’s strongest suits. It has a powerful 5,000mAh battery and makes good use of it. Because of the G50’s low-resolution display and low-power CPU, Nokia says that you’ll get two days of moderate use out of it. It offers 18W fast charging, which is similar to the Realme 8. In contrast to other competitors, you will only get a 10W charger with the device.

Nokia G50 5G Verdict

With sturdy construction and clean software, the Nokia G50 is a sub-$300/5G phone. But, like its immediate competitors, it makes certain key tradeoffs to achieve next-gen network speeds. You really need to consider the value of 5G before investing in this smartphone.
