Nokia C21 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News
This phone comes at a time when phone manufacturers are being accused of providing botched updates that slow down their phones or bring other issues. But Nokia has built a reputation for providing quality updates on time. The brand name matters to a lot of people. But, considering the price tag, we can’t recommend this phone. The internal specifications of the phone are just too low for a lot of people and there are various other phones that will provide a whole lot of features for the same price. If you are just happy with calling, texting, and a bit of WhatsApp, then this Nokia phone is fine for you. But, just remember, there are better options available at the same price such as the Realme Narzo 50i Prime, which offers far better internals for a slightly higher price. The experience of the Realme C1 will simply blow away the Nokia C21 out of the competition.

70% Nokia G21 Review: Android One, Anyone?
Source: NDTV Gadgets
The Nokia G21 is an Android One smartphone that provides a stock Android experience, with the promise of guaranteed software updates for the next few years. It offers good build quality and excellent battery life for day to day usage. Given its good qualities, the Nokia G21 should appeal to a casual user who prefers a simple and clean Android interface. Having said that, I'm a little disappointed that the G21 ships with Android 11 and not 12. Power users might find the Nokia G21 to be slightly underpowered. The cameras also fell short of my expectations. If you can overlook its shortcomings, the Nokia G21 is still a dependable smartphone for casual use with good software support, which isn't common in this price range. Those wanting more performance around the same price can consider the Realme 9i (Review) or the Moto G51 (Review). If you are eyeing the 6GB variant of the Nokia G21, you should consider the Redmi Note 10T 5G (Review) instead.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish company founded in 1865 and headquartered in Finland. The company is known for its telecommunications equipment and cell phones. Nokia was one of the leading manufacturers of cell phones in the 1990s and has expanded its business into networking and technology solutions in recent years. 

In 2011, Nokia partnered with Microsoft on Windows-based cell phones and sold the entire cell phone division to Microsoft in 2014, which limited the Nokia brand name to basic cell phones. In 2016, Finnish electronics manufacturer HMD Global entered into a licensing agreement with Nokia, bought the remaining Nokia name rights from Microsoft Mobile, and since 2017 has exclusively offered Nokia cell phones worldwide, which are based on Android, among other things, and are produced by Foxconn.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
