NOKIA G10 COMPLETE OVERVIEW
Here we will discuss about Nokia G10, an entry-level smartphone
from HMD Global which comes with 5050 mAh battery
capacity, running on stock Android 11 and powered by the Mediatek
Helio G25 processor. So, The Nokia G10 is a device on the Android One
program so, like other Nokia devices this one runs on stock Android
and it is going to get up to two years of OS upgrades. That is
Android versions 12 and 13 guaranteed. Pretty solid for a device at this price
point, I think only Samsung and Nokia offer such software support for
their entry-level devices. And speaking of price, the Nokia G10
retails for about $145, it comes with 3 & 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB
of internal storage.
The Nokia G10 comes in two colors, Dusk and Night.
The box of the Nokia G10 is different from the previous slim squared
box we're used to with Nokia devices. This time it is the
conventional rectangular box we see with other devices. It contains all
accessories including a TPU case and a pre-installed screen
protector. The G10 is a solidly built device with a glass display
and plastic rear. The rear finish is textured and it reminds me of the
Nokia 3.4. The camera arrangement on the G10 follows the
conventional circular one we've seen on most Nokia devices since the year
2019, it is a triple camera setup. The G10 is one of the first Nokia smartphones
to have a side mounted fingerprint scanner, we've previously seen it on
the rear of other Nokia devices. It is placed on the power button on
this one, it is easy to reach, it is accurate but there is a noticeably
slight delay when you're unlocking the device. You can also use face
unlock if that is what you prefer. You also get a dedicated Google
assistant button on the left side which can be easily disabled, sadly you cannot
remap it. I actually find it pretty useless as I can easily trigger the
assistant. The headphone jack on the Nokia G10 is at the top which
is my preferred position and its speaker is a bottom firing one, a mono
speaker which you are actually going to find quite
decent. Aside its price, a major selling point on the Nokia G10
is its battery life and that is really no joke, depending on how you use
your device you can actually get two days of battery life and possibly
three. Being on the Android one program means it runs on stock Android and
that also means it is very much bloatware and ads free, and it is lightweight
software. By default it uses gesture navigation but you can easily disable
that for 3 button if that is your preference. You can find that setting in
the accessibility option under settings, then scroll down to the system
navigation, and then you can select three button navigation. With the
Nokia G10 you also get features like multi-user and screen recording
without the need for a third party application.
Its display is 6.52 inches and it has the water drop
notch style for its selfie camera. It is an IPS LCD display with a
resolution of 720 by 1600, and a 20:9 aspect ratio. It is a good display
for its price and it is okay for media consumption. The Nokia G10 is
a capable device when it comes to running your regular apps and a little
multi-tasking compared to other similarly priced devices. It is
easy to use and you will have no issues with this one for day-to-day use.
If you do some light gaming the G10 can handle it fairly well but this is
not a gaming device. You should have a bigger budget if that is what you
want.
The cameras on the Nokia G10 are a triple rear
combination of a 13 megapixel main camera, 8 megapixel macro camera
and 2 megapixel depth sensor. The rear camera takes good photos,
actually performs better at this price point. To get the best results
however it is best to stay still for at least a second after hitting
the shutter button it's a bit slow to process, it might seem like it has taken
the shot but if you move too quickly you are going to end up with pictures
like this. This happens on both the selfie and the rear cameras, that
pretty much rules out taking photos in a hurry or while on the go. The
selfie camera on the Nokia G10 is an 8 megapixel camera, it also does
okay with both normal and portrait shots. You'll be pretty much getting
your money's worth. It can shoot 1080p full HD videos from both the selfie
and the rear cameras. What do you think? The Nokia G10 is a
solid device I recommend for its price, it is easily one of the best
entry-level devices by virtue of software, battery life, and it is also
affordable.
