Reviews for the Nokia G10

76.3% Nokia G10 smartphone review - Sustainable cell phone for little money? | Notebookcheck
Nokia's G10 is an entry-level smartphone with a large battery and a monthly update promise for 3 years. We will take a look at whether the inexpensive phone with the Scandinavian design is also convincing in everyday use in our review.

Nokia G10 Review – Most Good Looking Budget Nokia Phone
Source: Cashify English
Nokia G10 is an entry-level smartphone and thus, all the specifications reflect this including the entry-level chipset, decent display type, and so on. Do you know that there's no charger included in the retail box? Yes, it's true as Nokia is making some cutbacks to lower the price tag. There are plenty of other smartphones at this price tag that offers much more on the table such as the Poco M3 is way more powerful with a midrange SD662 SoC and almost the same pricing which makes me wonder why to buy such an expensive phone in comparison. The camera setup is decent although low-light photography is below average. Perhaps the major USP of the Nokia G10 is its battery and the software onboard which is stock which means you get a clear Android 11 which is highly optimized and lightweight. However, the charging time is too much so there's a lot of compromises to make at the price tag.

68% Nokia G10 4G – a solid choice for a $199 budget (review)
Source: Gadgetguy English
If you are looking at the Nokia G10 4G, you are a budget shopper, and you have a choice of several phones at this price. Why am I telling you this up front in a review? Because invariably smartphone makers tell us you can’t make a decent smartphone that retails for much less than $199, and on the whole, I agree. You will normally get 32-bit Android (common to most devices <4GB RAM) that runs slowly, approx. 6.5” 1280×720 screen (let’s not get into brightness, colour accuracy), 32GB (15GB free) of slower eMMC storage, a tri-camera (usually 12MP plus depth) and a 4500/5000mAh battery in an all-plastic case. That describes the Nokia G10 4G and its competition to a tee.

NOKIA G10 Review – What should be the Selling Point?
Source: Manila Shaker English
The Nokia G10 can give you an acceptable gaming experience when it comes to MOBA games and average on FPS games. However, it has a hard time maintaining consistent performance in triple-A games, but for browsing and a day-to-day companion, the Nokia G10 is a worthy device. It is priced at P6,990 for 4GB plus 64GB. Albeit, last year, this price range offered a higher Helio G70 or G80 processor from other competitors, however, if I will going to use a phone that will still give me security in 2 years, Nokia is one of the trusted brands that can offer a 2 years Android Upgrade. This means the main selling point of this device is compatibility and optimization that is still present after a year or so. Buying this phone will give you peace of mind, long battery life, and a solid build.

50% Nokia G10
Source: PC Mag English
A year ago, the Nokia G10's crisp display, excellent battery life, and multi-year OS upgrades would have been enough to excuse its sluggish processor, paltry storage, and mediocre build quality. But the budget phone market has changed a lot over the past 12 months, and the G10 can’t keep pace with its competition. The Moto G Play comes in at just $20 more than the G10 and far surpasses it, with superior build quality, longer battery life, and a more robust mobile chipset. If you can spend a little more money, check out our Editors’ Choice winner for low-cost phones, the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G ($279.99). It looks great, it's more durable, and it has a much more powerful chipset, with good cameras and 5G connectivity to boot. With phones like that on the market, there's just no room for one that cuts as many corners as the G10.

Nokia G10 Review
Source: Yugatech English
The Nokia G10 is one device that we consider a good daily driver for casual users. It’s affordable, has decent cameras and performance, and long battery life. It’s not for those who want to play graphic-intensive games given the entry-level chipset. The small RAM and storage add to that limitation as well. It’s good for social media use, online classes, or entertainment. Should you buy it? If you’re on a tight budget, the Nokia G10 is a good option for PHP 6,990. But if you can stretch the budget a bit, even for a couple of thousand pesos, you might find a better alternative.

Nokia G10 Unboxing, Review Philippines: Incremental Upgrade?
Source: Unbox English
Our review of the Nokia G10 in the Philippines shows that it is a good incremental upgrade to the Nokia 2.4 with a more modern look, improved overall camera performance, a bigger battery, and the use of a USB-C port. While its processor is lackluster for a sub-Php 7k phone, the main selling point of the Nokia G10 is its guaranteed 2 years of major Android updates–a commitment we rarely see on any budget phone even up to this day.

Imagination PowerVR GE8320: Integrated graphics card for mid-range ARM SoCs.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Helio G25: ARM based octa core SoC (8x ARM Cortex-A53) clocked at up to 2 GHz. The chip also includes a Cat.4 LTE modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.50":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

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.


70.05%: 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.
