I am planning to get one for myself. I wonder how is the performance like when it is compared with Nokia 8.1 (I am planning to upgrade my 8.1 to this, yes, I don't feel like changing my device every other year). Is it faster than 8.1 ? And what about the camera ? Is it better ? I personally found 8.1 camera to be really great.
Check the camera comparison with the pureviews.. In terms of imaging it's ahead of 8.1. In terms of speed, it's about the same. In terms of build, 8.1 is more premium.
@@DrNokia_theoriginalYeah, the build quality of 8.1 is truly awesome (but then it cost me 4 times as much as G42 😀) - except that HUGE notch. Although I am upgrading, I have no intention of trading my 8.1. I love that phone too much...
I am not a geek for Phones, I dont play games and i dont care much about taking photos. On the other hand i use a lot the phone to write, take notes and trasver data, is Nokia a good choice? I want a phone that stand in time
I called Nokia customer care India. They said its Somy sensor in primary camera but didnt share any details of sensor and size. I assume its IMX 766 from pictures you have taken with it
sorry, are you saying your G42 doesnt detect your wifi 5G? The 5G on G42 supports 5G network. the wifi 5GHz refers to bandwidth. not the same. but yes it should still be able to connect to the 5Ghz wifi.
Ear piece is not loud enough in any Nokia phones.i personal used 3.1plus and 5.4 both ear piece sound is not at all loud I often use loudspeaker 😢 to all voice calls
Are you referring to the loudspeaker or the earpiece?, the volume on the earpiece has been low on previous models ! One can't hear the other person clearly during phone calls !
@@vikramk9383 my bad. The earpiece is adequate. Didn't have any trouble in my use. And if it's really in a loud environment, the speaker should take care of it.
The G42 5G is impressive. And the pricing is brilliant. Have you tried it yet?
Yes I have one.
Going to buy this as a backup/companion phone for my Nokia 8 and to both of my parents, so the price under 13k is completely worth it
The performance and camera looks great to me. I think I'm going to buy this right now 😎
Possibly the best phone under 13k in India. Even the Motos at this price point don't include 5G and Cortex A76 cores
The only reasonably priced good phone to come from nokia in recent years.
I agree. And the primary camera beats the XR21 as well. Samples in my twitter.
🙏 Please do mention SAR Value of the phone too , overall good review 👍

Is it only me or you also noticed the cloud detection in the images. It's soo good
G42 5g or X30 5g? Only £50 difference at the moment in the UK! After using both which would you recommend? Great video as always by the way 😎
X30 is way better than G42 in terms of every aspect. X30 is launched as flagship of the Nokia while G42 is just an mid range phone
x30 please.

yes it will do that great, and with ifixit easy repairability, it will easily last very long.
I called Nokia customer care India. They said its Somy sensor in primary camera but didnt share any details of sensor and size. I assume its IMX 766 from pictures you have taken with it
cant confirm this but check my camera comparison, the output is quite respectable.
@@DrNokia_theoriginal Noted. Any idea if Nokia is launching any flagship in near future? Looking for good camera robust phone
@@ridinghightidesindia6847 no infor for now..will share details when it arrives.
Some features missing in notification panel like camera,mic access,etc
Is the components for "quick repairability" available in your country ?
Not where I am, but at countries where the device is sold officially, you can have access to it. It will be shipped to your address.
G42 is using Sony imx camara processor?
i dont have the details for it but the camera is very good. primary camera that is.
How is speaker output is it loud?🙏
Yes
Is virtual ram good for smartphone
i havent use any RAM intense app but performance wise, its adequate.
Is g42 has marginally better or significantly better camera than g21 plz reply I want to make my decision on that respect
significantly better camera. check my twitter account to see how it compares to XR21.
@@DrNokia_theoriginal Hi can you help on one more thing. Bluetooth on g21 is buggy. Is g42 is OK with that
@@kunal2443 no issues
Price ?
abt usd 200
Very good review.
Glad you enjoyed it
Sir is the camera of Nokia g,42 better than moto g34?
I'm also confused with the camera quality of these two 😢
I can't answer this. I don't have a Moto to test. For photo,primary camera output is as good as Nokia X30.
Camera ?
primary camera good, check my twitter feed for comparison with XR21.You will be amazed.
Audio chipset and audip quality 😮
very good actually.
I live in a 5G area,I have 3 items wifi6 and 6e compatible. Anybody can tell me why my g42 doesn't find any 5G network note wifi 6 ?
sorry, are you saying your G42 doesnt detect your wifi 5G? The 5G on G42 supports 5G network. the wifi 5GHz refers to bandwidth. not the same. but yes it should still be able to connect to the 5Ghz wifi.
@@DrNokia_theoriginal since i spoke about 5G and wifi 6e,yes i know the differences,the point is that none of them work.
@@johannponpon5347 that means something wrong with the device.
@@DrNokia_theoriginal the point is how to fix it,not to tell me what I already know.
@@johannponpon5347 and I'm not a software expert or technician to be able to answer anything further than what I advised earlier. Have a nice day
Next upcoming version Android 14 Google floating feature is unique now that Google search bar
I don't use Google search on my Nokia Device, using Microsoft Launcher instead, much snappy.
@@Amorousstake4 that's URS priporty

True, is it improved in g42 5g ?
Please have a look into the review. Audio boost feature enhances the audio loudness. Loud and clear.
of course.

And selfie camera testing
Check my article at Nokiapoweruser site . It has a sample from the AI portrait mode.
@@DrNokia_theoriginal I searched a lot but couldn't find it😛
@@pritamsarkar6003just uploaded.
Nokia this model,,,,, more then better Motorola G54*
sorry i cant comment on motorola, cause i havent use one but the G42 5G is certainly a good device with good price,and great primary camera.
Nice❤😂 rs........
Tha defect is device gets heat
I didnt experience that actually, i mainly use for calls, browsing,camera. not much into games. it is good, with good battery life
