Nokia G21 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Nokia G21 Overview
Nokia G21 - becoming relevant
It is difficult to consider Nokia a market leader today, just as it is not easy to name at least a few bestsellers released by it over the past year. However, failures force the weak to give up, and the strong only spur them on to fight. Perhaps that is why the hero of today's review looks much more competitive.
The developer has significantly updated the appearance of new items. The screen frames have slightly decreased, the circle of the main photomodules has been replaced with an almost rectangular block, but the lens of the 8-megapixel selfie camera, unfortunately, has not shifted to the corner of the IPS screen. But the colors of the cases are now more attractive. You can also praise the side fingerprint sensor for convenience and accuracy. Of course, a budget Android smartphone is made mostly of plastic, so buying a protective case is highly recommended, otherwise chips and scratches cannot be avoided. The 6.5-inchIPS display is more of a disadvantage of the phablet. It's not even the contrast that causes disappointment, but the modest resolution of 1600x720 pixels, at which one can't talk about the clarity of small fonts and icons. On the other hand, in terms of brightness, the OGS-panel is not inferior to the solutions of opponents, and even boasts a refresh rate of 90Hz .
Technical characteristics are more productive than those of the previously produced G20. The Unisoc T606 CPU , 4GB ofRAM and the Mali G57MC1 video accelerator help to reduce the number of lags in the Android 11 operating system to a minimum, speed up the launch of applications. Sophisticated gamers will not be satisfied with the gameplay of resource-intensive projects like Genshin Impact, but less demanding World Of Tanks Blitz or PUGB demonstrate quite a smooth framerate. The size of the internal storage was 64 / 128GB , a relatively small amount of ROM is expanded by MicroSD cards. Autonomy will be a serious competitive advantage of an Android device. An immodest 5050mAh battery, coupled with an energy-efficient OGS screen, will guarantee ten hours of active screen time.
The photo opportunities have also been upgraded. 50- and 2-megapixel modules, led by the latest Samsung JN1, will delight you with the detailing of daytime shots, as well as careful color reproduction. Noises in such frames are almost imperceptible, but such words cannot be said about evening photos. To reduce the cost, the manufacturer had to abandon stereo sound, moisture protection and other things that are pleasant for the user. But NFC contactless payments have found a place in the gadget. Thus, the device leaves a positive impression due to the functionality and balance of parameters and adequately keeps up against the background of competitors.
