Critic consensus
“Nokia's G50 is a solid mid-range smartphone that can stay with the user for a bit longer thanks to the update promise.”
“Making a smartphone that stands out from the crowd is no easy task. Nokia’s latest G50 is a testament to this, it’s a smartphone with no glaring weaknesses but no praiseworthy strengths either. It has a big screen, good battery life and the promise of software updates, which speak well to its longevity. But with poor cameras, slow performance and a low-resolution display, it isn’t the best smartphone for most people.”
“A big screen and 5G support make the G50 an ideal phone for stream fiends trying not to break the bank. It's not especially quick, and those cameras are merely OK, but it's still a lot of device for your cash.”
“On first impressions, the Nokia G50 seeks to offer the things that matter in an un-fussy fashion. You get a big battery, big screen and you're future-proofed thanks to 5G support and having the Android One program for software updates.”
