Comparisons Featuring Nokia G
Short Review
- The Nokia G features a sleek design with dimensions of 161 x 76 x 8.7 mm and a weight of 180 grams, available in blue and purple colors.
- Its 6.38-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 269 ppi, but lacks HDR support and has a standard 60Hz refresh rate.
- Performance is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and options for 3GB or 4GB of RAM, which handle everyday tasks adequately.
- The camera system includes a 48 MP main sensor, complemented by a 5 MP ultrawide, 2 MP macro, and 2 MP depth sensors, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 16 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 4000 mAh battery supports 10W charging, providing sufficient power for daily use without wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 11, the software experience is straightforward, with no stereo speakers but a headphone jack for audio.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and NFC, though it does not support 5G.
- The build quality is solid, although it lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, the Nokia G offers a balanced combination of specifications for users seeking essential smartphone functionality.
