Nokia G21 Review: Nice and Simple (Video)

Last year in April, Nokia Mobile announced their new naming scheme which came alongside a new devices strategy. Gone were the points and dots, and replaced with a more SEO-friendly alphanumeric combination; With C, G, and X. While we as tech enthusiasts should be looking out for their X offerings, G is perhaps the new heart of the business strategy as the brand continues to transition from a feature phone dependant business, into a smartphone reliant one. Last year’s G20 wasn’t exactly a very balanced device, favoring battery life longevity perhaps too heavily with performance taking a backseat. This year’s G21, and by extension, G11 doesn’t make such a compromise anymore. The UNISOC T606 might not win any benchmark tests, but it is significantly more powerful than last year’s Mediatek G35. But as a whole package, what can you expect from the G21? Here are my thoughts after using the device as my daily driver for the past 10+ days. 2 SIM cards, no SD card inserted, and with the 4/128 Gb version.

 

Here are a couple of image samples captured with the 50Mp main camera. The images have been resized so do keep that in mind:
