Nokia G20

“If you expect a lot of performance, a great screen and only the best materials, the Nokia G20 is not the right choice. But you cannot expect that for just under 170 Euros (~$200). Instead, you get a smartphone that is well-designed in all areas, looks stylish, is stable, lasts for a long time, and offers sufficient performance for everyday use.”

“The Nokia G20 has a genuinely impressive battery that barely drains when idle and should remain functional for days. Its satisfyingly simple stock Android software, striking design, and decent main camera all add up to a more-than-respectable package for a $200 phone. But its slow chipset, last-gen Wi-Fi support, and low-resolution display undermine the experience. Anyone willing to spend just a bit more can likely find something better.”

“The Nokia G20 is another solid but deeply unspectacular effort from the resurrected Finnish brand. Decent build quality, battery life, and software provisions inspire a level of trust that’s far from common below the £150 mark, but the phone’s poor performance and limited display serve to erode that confidence.”

“After using the Nokia G20 for a week it became clear that this is a budget smartphone with entry-level performance. Nokia promises software updates, but the lacklustre hardware means that the UI struggles to keep up with daily tasks, even though it's running a near-stock version of Android 11. The two-day battery life is quite good, but charging that 5,050mAh battery takes more than three hours. Camera performance is just about okay in the daytime and the same goes for video quality. The quality of the HD+ display is also nowhere close to what the competition offers.”
