I'm currently using a Nokia 7.2 which I bought nearly 4 years ago. Sadly, there are no more security updates available for this Android 11, so I'm looking for a new phone. I've never used anything but Nokia phones. I bought N9 just as they were closing down the mobile business, skipped the Lumia-phase entirely and used N9 for five years, until I was able to buy the next proper Nokia phone. My N9 even recovered nicely from a bath in the waching machine. A clear sign of being a Nokia-owner is this: When you drop your phone on the floor, your first instict is to check if the phone made a mark on your wooden floor 😁

Ash! Thank you for posting.

I got the 8 ram with 256 storage which make it a decent unit and i recived Android 14 update which makes it even better as a daily driver.

I got it for around 170 US dollars on sale in Saudi Arabia and in UAE its also available there which makes it an unbeatable deal when you think of value for the money you spent!

Phones the Mrs and I use. Great device and does what it needs to do, makes calls and messages. Don't play games on it, not a mobile gamer. So for us, it is perfect. Good video.

A good smartphone with stock android, best in class looks and has a repairability and durability

Excellent informative review. You don't need the best just one capable of doing the job in hand.

I'm taking mine back to Argos, it keeps cutting off what I view on Tiktok and the keyboard keys are too small. Some text is incomplete and the camera is glitchy.. I really don't like using it.

The keyboard keys can be changed in size. Just want to know if it is a display issue because AFAIK the display is quite large.

If that is your situation I would highly recommend another Nokia model called XR20 or the newer one XR21 but I would still go for XR20 since it's a bit cheaper by now,and if you got that beast you don't have to worry any more ...you will be a worry free mom!

How's camera quality?

It's ok but a bit bland looking. I'm not sure 5G is essential for the kind of people who go for budget phones,whenever I've actually managed to get a signal the main noticeable effect has been my battery level dropping at about double its usual rate. I'd guess that for people looking for "just a phone" a Moto G14,or even G13 would do the job, eBay and a bit of patience will get you even the later model for around £100 new

I agree, it's pretty decent but you can definitely get an equivalent or something better for less. I picked up a regular Pixel 6 for just £20 more and aside from battery life, it's miles better in every way!

I have a motorola G54 5g and the battery drains so fast so I'm looking for another budget phone but I don't know if I want another 5g phone so would you know if I bought a 5g phone and turned off the 5g will it have the same battery drain as a 4g phone.

I think you are Nokia lover like me

Also repairable 😊

I have a 3 years old poco, still beats many "high end phones" in every day use, and it was dirt cheap. I bought it just to see how bad it was (since back then it was the cheapest handset with decent specs) but it was a killer unit, just keeps going.

Only 2 5g bands.Not worth 😂
