I like the device. The heft and size of the G50 is just solid and reassuring. People oftentimes complain about Nokia that they make barebones devices. For me that is a plus, not a minus. I get a simple, straightforward device that is user friendly with an accessible UI, stock software and specs that are calibrated just rightly to assist me in whatever tasks I need to be perofm daily. That may not sound overly exciting, but for me it's just right. I found that oftentimes the more bells and whistles a device has the more problems and issues it comes with or develops later on. Unless you have particular needs as a user, there is absolutely no reason a Nokia device couldn't satisfy most people's needs. I don't have to mortgage my home or sell my kidney to buy a Nokia device. Think about it, only a few decades ago a smartphone was still the stuff of science fiction. These days most of us carry one in our pocket. I don't know about you, but there's little to complain about on that front. My device helped me through this pandemic in many ways and assisted me with stuff that even 10 years ago I couldn't have completed remotely...
My wife is an Apple lemming. She talked me into buying an iPhone. I hated that phone from the first day I bought it. Since it was expensive, I thought I would get used to it. After a year, I hated it even more. I replaced the iPhone with the Nokia G50 and I am quite happy with it. The G50 does everything I need and it does it well. I had to charge the iPhone every day. I charge the Nokia once a week.
I'm playing with my g50, and I noticed that the post processing is amazing. You can adjust the brightness after the fact, as well as contrast and white point and black point. You can add warmth or sharpness in post. It also allows you to adjust saturation. There is an option to take raw photos as well.
I've been using the G50 for a few days now. Decided to pick one up as a last ditched attempt with HMD. My experience with the X10 was a shambles. I have to say you are right, it ticks all the basics. It's not going to replace my 11 pro max, but it's great as my work phone. It really does do everything well enough. I don't even find the screen res that much of an issue. I have the 4gd ram model and it's running fine. It's a beast but it made well and I'm so glad that macro camera is gone. I like it and I think it's a well balanced device. Very capable device indeed. Good video as always.
Thanks! I'm surprised about your experience with the X10 because I haven't had issues with it. I think you previously explained that you had an issue with carrier settings for your network, but was that not fixed?
The white X10 is my favourite current device. I got the G50 but sold it shortly after, too expensive for what it is. Even if you get it cheaper (which I did), the long screen makes the larger than average chin look even fatter. Then there is the resolution, nothing over 6.5" should be HD. I did love the design and build though.
@@AbdullaZaki yes data connection was never resolved. I manually set everything in the end and it would work briefly but stop after a day or 2. I also had a problem with streaming Google tv and BritBox. Streaming wasn’t that acceptable on Disney+ or Discovery+ either. Sent it back twice and the 2nd time the motherboard was replaced. But it still had the exact same issues. In the end I sent HMD/Nokia video evidence. In the end I got a full refund. The G50 has been green light out of the box. Not one issue at all. There’s the very odd slight stutter, but we have to be real with the SD480 and 4gb ram. Maybe I was very unlucky. But I’m saying that it’s not the first time I’ve had issues with other Nokia phones. In HMDs defence, they really do try to help and will just replace free off charge just like Apple.
The snapdragon 480 processor is good enough to give the user very good experience even in games ,my snapdragon 460 wich is much weaker than the 480 is giving me a decent user experience and gaming experience call of duty mobile run smoothly at low graphics and high frame rate and I'm very happy with my choice to buy the 3.4 from Nokia🥰🔥
Great review. thank you very much for spending time on detailing the performance, with visual representation onscreen. You wouldn't believe how many reviewers skip this, which is laughable. How the phone performs (while switching between apps, scrolling crowded web pages etc) is very important when it comes to the budget phone experience
I'm new to your channel but I really really really really really really love how you do your reviews you're very well spoken and I love your point of view on the phone a lot of people don't have a good perspective to give an honest feedback on how it overall performs. I appreciate the idea of hassle-free. And the fact that you shared that they do two updates and 3 years of security is very helpful information. Ty
Mr. Abdulla. Thank you for this review! Now, I am decided to get a Nokia G50 for myself. Haptic feedback is not a big deal. For the 720p resolution, that is enough for me! And it has its own advantage especially when it comes to battery life. 1080p and 720p doesn't have a very huge difference. Just like in watching videos and movies. Yes, there is much more pixel density on the 1080p, but if you are not going to focus on that, 720p has a good quality. When it comes to other things like camera and performance, if you think it's good, I would trust you on that. Thank you for a detailed review. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching, and I hope the G50 serves you well! For the camera, I think you will like it. But if you don't, finding a good gcam port is not hard and it will give you even better low light shots
Happy Holidays and Thank you for all of your great Nokia reviews. Did your 7.2 ever get Android 11? Mine didn't. I love the color and the size of the G50. It's very beautiful. Wish it was 1080p though.
Happy holidays to you too :) I checked recently on my 7.2 and I also don't seem to have the update. It could have been pulled because many 7.2 owners have had problems with the update. Hopefully they fix them and then release a better version soon.
SD480 and 5K mAH battery is a very good combo + the camera (especially if adding GCam) looks promissing, so if you like the phone, it should do a good job for you BUT I have to say that by now this 2019 front design makes it just sad to see that Nokia has this very outdated front design, only the 2020 iPhone SE looks more horrible and pathetic when it comes to outdated looks... + HD screen with no OLED or 90 Hz is also a drawback by now which Nokia somehow does not understand....
@@bossbondan5054 I had multiple phones with OLED starting with a Windows Phone and never had a burn in problem, so that is a very outdated dead argument; 90-120 HZ screen does make the phone feel faster, so don't get blinded by the excuses, we need Nokia to step it up, I want to buy a Nokia phone next, but I they need to improve
Well, I do like the device and have been reading about as much as possible but I need to hold one and use it a bit to know for sure if it's a device for me. Not on the software side as I already have several Nokia phones and I love them but the size of it as it's even bigger that the X20, certainly in height.
So I like it very much. I would just like to know how the G50 compares to the X10? Because this is what I'm using right now. I like the larger display and that the macro camera is finally gone. Can someone help me?
I think as a nokia first youtube channel you should be more of a critic that forces them to release a good phone. One that can atleast match the competition
Don't confuse between Abdulla the Nokia fan and Abdulla the reviewer. What I personally want is very different than what they are currently doing, and I've talked about this many times. Im lucky to have access to plenty of "competing" devices. Very few have actually impressed me when using them on a daily basis. They come with their own set of compromises.
Thanks for the review!. I may consider this phone for a secondary phone, focused more on my games, then I'll be using my 7 Plus for the personal use, and some games. I'm surprised with how good the camera performs despite not having Zeiss Optics. Still hoping for X20 to be released here in PH, but maybe I'll just have to settle with G50, as if ever X20 comes here, a better phone might get announced already. I just want a new secondary phone already, as I can't rely much on the hand-me-down S6 that I'm currently using. Camera is great and can run some games, but internal storage and battery life is so bad for 2021.
Does all the camera available to shoot in night mode? And is there any difference in performance compare to x10? Not based on benchmark score but based on daily use, such as gaming and speed. How about the screen touch response compare to Nokia 5.4? Thank you for the video. 😁
Night mode only works on the main rear camera and the selfie camera too (although results from the front camera in low light aren't great). In terms of usable performance, it actually feels slightly more smooth than the X10, probably due to less pixels on the screen being moved around by the processor. Speed and gaming is very similar. Screen feels more responsive than 5.4
I tried to buy this phone because of the 5,000mah battery but settled with the G10 instead with same battery capacity because I cannot handle the size of G50. This phone huge it is like a shoe hahaha. I'm a small person. I am just 5'2". Americans and NBA players can handle this phone just fine hahaha. I suggest to Nokia to make mini versions of their phones
Not the best device for the price. If you can pick it up on sale though, which will likely be able to happen in a few months, it would definitely be an awesome $240 or less device. 720p is a letdown, but not a complete deal breaker.
First thanks for the review. Much appreciated. I have just bought this phone and in general I think it´s a decent phone if you are on a budget as me. But OZO audio is really disappointing on this running android 12. Evertime I turn OZO on it just sounds awful with a lot of background noise. In total contrast to what it is supposed to do. Anyone else experiencing this?
@@AbdullaZaki hi, i am thinking about buying The Nokia G50. But i wanted to ask you, does it have now Live Captions with Android 12? Like on the Pixels. I am not sure if its Pixel Exclusive or for all Android 12 devices. Could you look it up on your G50? That will decide if i buy Nokia G50 or not.
its not about display...about processor ...snapdragon 480 is low end 5g...FHD need more rendering to gpu and cpu processing to..more heavy task more heat...when you switch display resolution on HD but display in the FHD (hardware) it decreasing processing on gpu but transfered on cpu..nokia knew the problem
I've been using this device for a month now. Design and material is very good . But biggest downside is display. Display is totaly crappy specialy outside, red color is smudged. Battery life is so so, lasting day and a half tops. Only good side of this phone is camera and performance. I used 8.3 model before and I don't recommend buying this one.
Interesting observation about the display. I can't say I've faced the same issue outdoor though or with any colours appearing smudgy. I'll try a benchmark app and see if there is anything worth noting
@@AbdullaZaki on my device outdoor brightness is very poor and colours are washy.Red one is smudgy.I don't know if it's on all devices or only mine.Imdoors it's quite ok but in compare to 8.3 not good.Camer works fine and pictires i take,specialy on pro mode or portrait are suprisingly good
I found the colours disappointing too, even the G20 screen was nicer (apart from terrible viewing angles which the G50 doesn't have). Brightness was just lacking.
Me watching on 360p: xD Switching to 720p as instructed: :O This is such a deal and I'm saving up for it coz finally, Nokia's got 5G already! It's Nokia y'all, Nokia. Nostalgic~ ♡♡♡
that's a nice surprise. didn't expect the display actually has advantages instead of just being big. hmd these days makes up the big size for heat dissipation compared to my Nokia 5 2017 that always heats up just by turning on mobile data I'm not sure how useful is that super battery saving given Stamina Mode on Sony devices that I used to own do nothing. Maybe it's actually a hint of AMOLED/OLED returning as that's the kind of display that can take advantage of it. Imagine all you need to do in low battery scenario is waiting for critical messages and replying without fully unlocking it, that full black would help power saving. Still, the downside is sourcing of durable OLED/AMOLED causes a significant premium which I'm not sure if it'll work for spec-to-price conscious folks as they are spoiled with BBK phones. I'm fully aware that higher than usual price for hmd stuff has its own upsides. decent IPS LCD is rare among budget phones, no ads in package installer and I'm responsible for my own bloat. That last point is important as hmd still makes a lot of preinstalled google and partnered apps removable, not to mention some of them are literal stub packages. Forgot to mention that properly sending bug report to them actually resolves bug even for burner phone like 1.4
Hi Abdulla ok so I have gave my xr20 and x20 to family who needed phones, as I don't want to go as high a price for a secondary phone this time, would you recommend the G50 or the X10? Nokia loyal 😎
Hi Iain! Both pretty good. The G50 has a very slight edge in performance and battery life, and its camera is easier to take good pictures with. So maybe G50.
Thank you for your review I just got this for my birthday last week yes it's big as long as the Titanic I guess. it's hard to find a rugged case for it's size unless I go online. One gripe is there's no back arrow on the so we can simply go back to the previous page. Which I do a lot.. you have this bar on the bottom have to go swipe up and start at the beginning practically😮 which is pretyg confusing. Is there a way to have that bar on the bottom with the arrow on the left side and dot In the middle and a square on the right? Is there a way I can upload one it's much easier to click on those things you have any advice thank you the rest of phone sounds pretty good it gets pretty slow the processor but patience patience. But having that Arrow on the bottom be less🎉🎉🎉 frustrating to use
Hi George. You can go back by swiping from the right or left edge of the screen towards the middle. Or you can go to settings, system, gestures, system navigation to enable the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen including back
Such a big display with ,720p resolution is a deal breaker there are better alternatives out there around the same price with better spec's and the same stock android experience hello Motorola
The Nokia's advantage over the cheap Motos is the build quality. They don't feel anywhere near as solid as the G50. But otherwise, they are better specced usually. But also without any promise of updates
my problem is, I have a small hand, I really like this one. The size of my nokia 5.1 plus is good in my hand. I hope nokia will create a midrange phone with at least same specs of nokia g50 or x10 but smaller one 😉
@@AbdullaZaki sorry I spelled your name wrong! Thank you. Absolutely love my 8.3 but need a quick replacement. Might look at the X20. But will keep an eye out for the X30 also. Thank you! 👍
@@AbdullaZaki i have a request, can you please check if nova launcher causes lag while pulling up recents menu on gesture navigation? Google pixels dont have any problems with nova launcher cuz they have a special api which is supposed to roll out to other manufacturers too
My experience has been frustrating. Tried to get Messages from Nokia 1.3 to Nokia G50, many hours, many emails to Nokia Service, even taken it to a Tech Team member at a major store, and still cannot get the Messages app across. Cannot even take off a Lock screen that I put on thinking I might need it. Again the tech man could not do it, and thought it rather strange. I am really sorry I bought a Nokia, the local fixit mobile phone store told me I was silly to buy a Nokia - old system and others have better, more modern operating systems.
had this device been the size of the G20, 6 GB of RAM, and FHD screen, it would've been a home run IMO. I use it and the design brings some attention and people ask me what phone is it.
Agreed 6GB of RAM, 1080p screen, and even stereo speakers(they could have just used the speaker for calls since it's there like Motorola does) would have knocked this phone out of the park. The best features about the phone IMHO is NFC, and the fingerprint reader.
@@CommodoreFan64 the NFC is so responsive with Google Pay. I struggle less than with the Pixel 4a. It's good enough to use daily, but it's got enough "flaws" to notice them.
@@EsteBandido_YT Me, and my family have had Motorola Moto E/G series phones before this as our main Android phones(I keep a $40USD Alcatel running Android 10 GO Edition as my family's emergency backup device), so I can't personally comment on any other phones with NFC readers, as that's one thing Moto always seems to leave out of their budget/mid range devices, but yes so far here in the US for places that accept NFC tap to pay the experience has been really good in my first week of using it with Google Pay, and just one of the reasons I choose to replace my Moto G power 2020(battery life was starting to be all over the place) with a G50 over something like a Moto G power 2021 or 2022.
My last phone was a Samsung so its difficult to swop over.. no return button only a swipe, hard to get used too.. so far its doing the job.. time will tell.. Good review tho thanks
Now that I'm using both Nokia8.1 and Nokia G50, I like 8.1 very much in the shape of the machine and so on, the G50 is only a screen display and a drop of front camera shape, and the others are acceptable. I loaded the Gcam camera and took a more beautiful picture.
Pros- Very Good Camera Large Screen (6.82 inches) Large Battery (2 days) Android Go Two OS updates Solid Build Amazing Looks No Heating Problem Cons 720p Screen Resolution So it is is a good phone for all of them who want large size sturdy big battery phone with great cameras.
I always love nokia ... my friend have a G 50 and I love it so I am getting one send from overseas cause dey r not selling right now in my country de ppls like IPHONE and Samsung... but I definitely love Nokia ❤️
It's been years since I used a nokia phone and first time as an android. The speed is awesome in terms of gaming. But I observed when I was using in a videocall in messenger, The other party can't hear me clearly when I'm a few feet away, We need to use headsets for us to hear. Can you help me on this matter? Thank you!
Missing Nokia 7.1 in Silver colour... I'm shocked that what has happened to Hmd Global.. what are they thinking in making these not pleasing phones. They are totally confused I guess. Even now their marketing is not good either.

Got this phone to replace my Samsung note 10 plus and I am very impressed with how well its performing to say the least
I'd also love to see a comparison vid with it too
If this man will become the CEO of Nokia then Nokia will be the best smartphone company in the world again.
Can you see the pixels on the screen? I have a 720p 5" phone and I can see it up close.
You can up close
Your cat is adorable 😍
Does it have a pro/expert camera mode? I like capturing night sky by using that mode.
Yes it does
Not the best device for the price. If you can pick it up on sale though, which will likely be able to happen in a few months, it would definitely be an awesome $240 or less device. 720p is a letdown, but not a complete deal breaker.
I love the overall performance but the 720p resolution is a very big deal to me. The stack wallpapers are blurred.
Hi there. I recently lost my phone and have been debating about replacing it with either this phone or the A32. Which do you think is best,
You've not reviewed X100 yet. It seems a great deal.
Thank you. For me what matters is FM radio, voice clarity and GPS. How are those aspects ?
Pretty good, no complaints
First thanks for the review. Much appreciated. I have just bought this phone and in general I think it´s a decent phone if you are on a budget as me. But OZO audio is really disappointing on this running android 12. Evertime I turn OZO on it just sounds awful with a lot of background noise. In total contrast to what it is supposed to do. Anyone else experiencing this?
Hi Casper, no problem! Haven't had a chance to rest out Ozo after A12 but will try
@@AbdullaZaki hi, i am thinking about buying The Nokia G50. But i wanted to ask you, does it have now Live Captions with Android 12? Like on the Pixels. I am not sure if its Pixel Exclusive or for all Android 12 devices.
Could you look it up on your G50?
That will decide if i buy Nokia G50 or not.
Are you still using it? How does it perform?
why is it always HD+? Can't Nokia ship mid-range phones with FHD screen, that would be a lot better
its not about display...about processor ...snapdragon 480 is low end 5g...FHD need more rendering to gpu and cpu processing to..more heavy task more heat...when you switch display resolution on HD but display in the FHD (hardware) it decreasing processing on gpu but transfered on cpu..nokia knew the problem
I've been using this device for a month now. Design and material is very good . But biggest downside is display. Display is totaly crappy specialy outside, red color is smudged. Battery life is so so, lasting day and a half tops. Only good side of this phone is camera and performance. I used 8.3 model before and I don't recommend buying this one.
Interesting observation about the display. I can't say I've faced the same issue outdoor though or with any colours appearing smudgy. I'll try a benchmark app and see if there is anything worth noting
@@AbdullaZaki on my device outdoor brightness is very poor and colours are washy.Red one is smudgy.I don't know if it's on all devices or only mine.Imdoors it's quite ok but in compare to 8.3 not good.Camer works fine and pictires i take,specialy on pro mode or portrait are suprisingly good
I found the colours disappointing too, even the G20 screen was nicer (apart from terrible viewing angles which the G50 doesn't have). Brightness was just lacking.
Me watching on 360p: xD
Switching to 720p as instructed: :O
This is such a deal and I'm saving up for it coz finally, Nokia's got 5G already! It's Nokia y'all, Nokia. Nostalgic~ ♡♡♡
that's a nice surprise. didn't expect the display actually has advantages instead of just being big. hmd these days makes up the big size for heat dissipation compared to my Nokia 5 2017 that always heats up just by turning on mobile data
I'm not sure how useful is that super battery saving given Stamina Mode on Sony devices that I used to own do nothing. Maybe it's actually a hint of AMOLED/OLED returning as that's the kind of display that can take advantage of it. Imagine all you need to do in low battery scenario is waiting for critical messages and replying without fully unlocking it, that full black would help power saving.
Still, the downside is sourcing of durable OLED/AMOLED causes a significant premium which I'm not sure if it'll work for spec-to-price conscious folks as they are spoiled with BBK phones. I'm fully aware that higher than usual price for hmd stuff has its own upsides. decent IPS LCD is rare among budget phones, no ads in package installer and I'm responsible for my own bloat. That last point is important as hmd still makes a lot of preinstalled google and partnered apps removable, not to mention some of them are literal stub packages. Forgot to mention that properly sending bug report to them actually resolves bug even for burner phone like 1.4
I had a 929 ms nokia lumia - no bloat ware all business at lightning speeds will the G50 match my expectations?
IN YOUR OPINION WHICH IS BETTER. THE NOKIA G50 OR 5.4?
G50 by a lot :)
gcam is not compatible when I try to download it from playstore
You need to find it outside of the play store. Use chrome browser on your phone and search for "Nokia G50 Gcam apk download"
X20 or G50
Which one is the best?
x20 for sure he have a better screen and overall design
Can i get the nokia g50 wallpaper image?
I'll try uploading it somewhere
Hi Abdulla ok so I have gave my xr20 and x20 to family who needed phones, as I don't want to go as high a price for a secondary phone this time, would you recommend the G50 or the X10? Nokia loyal 😎
Hi Iain! Both pretty good. The G50 has a very slight edge in performance and battery life, and its camera is easier to take good pictures with. So maybe G50.
@@AbdullaZaki brilliant 👍 that's what I was swaying towards, thank you for your reply.
This or moto g32 is better on camera? 🙄
And 2 have led notification or double tape to wake up screen?
Nice review 😃
Glad you liked it
will you android 12 review for nokia x20?
Soon :)
@@AbdullaZaki ❤️
I think nokia g50 comes in 2 variants 4/6 Ram-64/128 Gb of Storage.
When I go for the 4/64 variant will the device be slower
Kindly advice
Thank you for pointing out the low resolution. Im having 2nd thoughts.
Nice video but how the camera work on real out side ?? And how the video look night time ??
It works well outside, but night time video is not great
@@AbdullaZaki thank man too bad really bad reviews by big outlets like the verge and tech arena . too bad still look colorful .good video man
my phone already has a 720p display so for me 1080p=720p 😁
😆
1080p video in 720p screen gives you just a tiny bit better experience maybe 10% It also depends on the GPU of the device
Could you tell me why the colors are less vivid than on my G20? They are muted and I want vivid, lol
Thanks Sir! I'm convinced now to grab this phone
No problem Mary. I hope it serves you well.
With footprint that big, it's baffling why HMD could not fit dedicated microSD slot and stereo speakers.
5G makes the phone expensive to make unfortunately
Still waiting for your ultimate review. Thanks
Always on display feature?
Thank you for your review I just got this for my birthday last week yes it's big as long as the Titanic I guess. it's hard to find a rugged case for it's size unless I go online. One gripe is there's no back arrow on the so we can simply go back to the previous page. Which I do a lot.. you have this bar on the bottom have to go swipe up and start at the beginning practically😮 which is pretyg confusing. Is there a way to have that bar on the bottom with the arrow on the left side and dot In the middle and a square on the right? Is there a way I can upload one it's much easier to click on those things you have any advice thank you the rest of phone sounds pretty good it gets pretty slow the processor but patience patience. But having that Arrow on the bottom be less🎉🎉🎉 frustrating to use
Hi George. You can go back by swiping from the right or left edge of the screen towards the middle.
Or you can go to settings, system, gestures, system navigation to enable the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen including back
is it worth upgrading from a Nokia 8?
Please make small screen devices, atleast 6-6.5 inch. If not consider releasing large devices with higher resolution.
Such a big display with ,720p resolution is a deal breaker there are better alternatives out there around the same price with better spec's and the same stock android experience hello Motorola
The Nokia's advantage over the cheap Motos is the build quality. They don't feel anywhere near as solid as the G50. But otherwise, they are better specced usually. But also without any promise of updates
my problem is, I have a small hand, I really like this one. The size of my nokia 5.1 plus is good in my hand. I hope nokia will create a midrange phone with at least same specs of nokia g50 or x10 but smaller one 😉
How big is your hand?
How much mah is battery life?? How much space it have??
I have a question Abdullah, does nokia android mobile come with themes app to change theme or not ? thanks.
Hi Firas, you can't change the icon designs, icon shapes. On Android 12 you can only change the overall colour of the notification toggles.
@@AbdullaZaki OK, thank you 🌹
Abdullah, which one? Nokia G50 or X20? Just need a phone while my 8.3 is getting repaired. Thank you! 👍
X20, or wait for the X30 and replace your 8.3 with it. It's a very nice phone
@@AbdullaZaki sorry I spelled your name wrong! Thank you. Absolutely love my 8.3 but need a quick replacement. Might look at the X20. But will keep an eye out for the X30 also. Thank you! 👍
@@Helen-uv6ws no worries!
is your Nokia X20 hard bricked ? X20 build came out but you havent made video on it. Myabe developer preview screwed you up?
It isn't :) working on the android 12 video!
@@AbdullaZaki i have a request, can you please check if nova launcher causes lag while pulling up recents menu on gesture navigation? Google pixels dont have any problems with nova launcher cuz they have a special api which is supposed to roll out to other manufacturers too
My experience has been frustrating. Tried to get Messages from Nokia 1.3 to Nokia G50, many hours, many emails to Nokia Service, even taken it to a Tech Team member at a major store, and still cannot get the Messages app across. Cannot even take off a Lock screen that I put on thinking I might need it. Again the tech man could not do it, and thought it rather strange. I am really sorry I bought a Nokia, the local fixit mobile phone store told me I was silly to buy a Nokia - old system and others have better, more modern operating systems.
had this device been the size of the G20, 6 GB of RAM, and FHD screen, it would've been a home run IMO. I use it and the design brings some attention and people ask me what phone is it.
Agreed 6GB of RAM, 1080p screen, and even stereo speakers(they could have just used the speaker for calls since it's there like Motorola does) would have knocked this phone out of the park. The best features about the phone IMHO is NFC, and the fingerprint reader.
@@CommodoreFan64 the NFC is so responsive with Google Pay. I struggle less than with the Pixel 4a. It's good enough to use daily, but it's got enough "flaws" to notice them.
@@EsteBandido_YT Me, and my family have had Motorola Moto E/G series phones before this as our main Android phones(I keep a $40USD Alcatel running Android 10 GO Edition as my family's emergency backup device), so I can't personally comment on any other phones with NFC readers, as that's one thing Moto always seems to leave out of their budget/mid range devices, but yes so far here in the US for places that accept NFC tap to pay the experience has been really good in my first week of using it with Google Pay, and just one of the reasons I choose to replace my Moto G power 2020(battery life was starting to be all over the place) with a G50 over something like a Moto G power 2021 or 2022.
My last phone was a Samsung so its difficult to swop over.. no return button only a swipe, hard to get used too.. so far its doing the job.. time will tell.. Good review tho thanks
You can turn the buttons in the settings (check the accessibility tab).
does it have always on display?
i want to ask whether nokia 8.3 cover can be used on nokia g50 5g as nokia g50 cover is not avilable
Unfortunately no. Different dimensions
Now that I'm using both Nokia8.1 and Nokia G50, I like 8.1 very much in the shape of the machine and so on, the G50 is only a screen display and a drop of front camera shape, and the others are acceptable. I loaded the Gcam camera and took a more beautiful picture.
Are there working GCam apks for the g50?

Please do a CPU Throttling test for the G50🙌🙌
720p is fine for a smartphone, but the size 🥲
Any news about New Nokia phones ?
The video was on 360p lol and I didn't notice
Can you file petition to HMD on fans behalf to make phones which can be easily hold in hand and fit in our pockets not mini tablet.
Liked video for the cat😄
Missing Nokia 7.1 in Silver colour... I'm shocked that what has happened to Hmd Global.. what are they thinking in making these not pleasing phones. They are totally confused I guess. Even now their marketing is not good either.
If you had a 7.1, you shouldn't look too much at any of their G series. Maybe the X series will be a better fit for you
Is it this phone get hand warm when use the nokia G50 ?
Nope
Which one is faster 480 snapdragon 5g or 680 4g
