Nokia G21 review

Going a digit behind the times, the Nokia G21 arrives in early 2022, attempting to deliver an affordable all-round package with an emphasis on battery...

Understated yet stylish design, Nokia badge on the back.

Camera island is prone to scratching.

Trying to beat the budget brands at their own game hasn't quite worked out for the Nokia G21, we reckon. It's not an 'avoid at all costs' type of verdict we have for it, but perhaps first look at the other, more complete packages available, even if...

The Nokia G21 smartphone - the 4/64GB variant will be available at Rs. 12,999/- and the 6/128GB variant at Rs. 14,999/- across Retail and leading e-commerce players and on nokia.com.

Sturdy Design & Premium Looks ; Clean Software ; Fluid 90Hz Display ; Long-Lasting Battery Life ; Good Connectivity Features

Not For Power Users ; Average Cameras ; 720P Resolution Display ; Dated Android 11

A phone like the Nokia G21 is most suited to elders in the family who need a reliable handset with long battery life and easy-to-use software. This is not an ideal phone for millennials or youngsters who like to multitask or play games on their...

Nokia G21 Review: Ideal budget smartphone?

Nokia G21 has been launched in India and here's our review of the new budget offering from the Finnish company.

Cameras

The Nokia G21 is definitely a good smartphone for its price and offers a very good battery backup. Having said that we feel camera performance could have been slightly better.

Nokia G21

The Nokia G21 is a very cheap smartphone with a few big weaknesses and only really its good endurance in its favour

Great battery life ; Long software updates ; Sturdy build quality

Mono speaker ; Camera produces poor results ; Underwhelming display

The Nokia G21 is a smartphone with a few big weaknesses and only really its good endurance in its favour. The display has a high refresh rate but poor brightness and low resolution, its processor struggles to keep up, and its camera produces poor results.

Nokia G21 review: Cheap and cheerful or a low-cost letdown?

The Nokia G21 is very cheap to buy – but is it value for money or too budget for its own good?

Very appealing price ; Solid build quality ; Excellent battery life

Sluggish performance ; Lacks 5G connectivity ; Moto G series trounces it

For its price, the Nokia G21 is a phone that impresses, particularly in terms of its design, build quality and battery life. Everything else, however, is distinctly average – and for not much more cash you could buy a Moto G instead.

Nokia G21 review

The Nokia G21 is a dependable phone that sadly won't excite. Its big display is restricted to 720p, and its camera's large sensor feels lacking.

Long battery life ; 90Hz refresh rate ; Mid-range innards

720p display ; Mediocre cameras ; Older Android version at launch

Nokia’s G21 is a solid enough budget phone with a decent amount of performance, but corners have been cut to hit such an impressive price point.

Nokia G21 review: A low-cost letdown

With just a few positives and more than a few negatives, the Nokia G21 is a bit of a disappointment

Dirt cheap ; 90Hz screen for less ; Clean version of Android

Dreadful display ; Mediocre battery life ; Slow performance

That being said, I don’t think the Nokia G21’s cameras can do enough to outweigh the phone’s long list of negatives. Yes, the design is rather nice and the clean Android installation is always a positive, but the phone’s so-so performance and weak...
