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.

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

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

I had a NOKIA 5.1 which is a fine device, however, it was stuck in Android 10 land. So, I investigated a replacement and Lo, I found this NOKIA G21 for a Good Price, from Good Guys, and for an Old Fella, I am well pleased with this device. Imagine, it makes phone calls, battery life for days, and with lots of distracting Apps to confuse my aged brain. Gotta luv NOKIA. Why spend 4 times as much on an iPhone? Vanity? I think so. Looking for a great mobile phone? get this one.

Battery is awesome and good phone with large display , picture quality is ok , call quality is good but having issues while travelling in car ,bluetooth drops sometimes , but for the price you pay it is good durable phone

Needed a more up to date phone to run NHS app. For trip abroad. All going well so far. phone updated its self when first switched on. Mum reports very pleased with it, first phone she is happy to keep with her in case she needs help.

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.

Very appealing price, Solid build quality, Excellent battery life

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