So, Nokia’s got a new phone out and it’s called the Nokia G42 5G. If you’re tired of super expensive phones and just want something simple, useful, and kinda stylish too, this one might be for you. The price starts at just ₹11,499 in India, which is actually pretty nice if you think about it.

Now, you might be wondering  what’s so special about this phone? Well, it’s not some flashy flagship, but it’s also not boring. Let’s just talk about it in a chill way, like friends do.

Looks Cool, Feels Nice

When I first saw the Nokia G42 5G, I didn’t expect much, but hey, it actually looks quite good! It’s got this smooth back and comes in two colors – So Purple and So Grey. The back has a matte kind of finish, which doesn’t get fingerprints all over it.

The body feels solid and not cheap at all. And guess what? It has an IP52 rating, so a little splash or dust won’t kill it. That’s something even costlier phones sometimes skip.

Screen’s Not Fancy, But It Works

The phone has a 6.56-inch HD+ screen, which means it’s big enough for watching stuff and scrolling endlessly. The refresh rate is 90Hz, so scrolling through Instagram or even basic gaming feels smooth.

It’s not a super sharp display like those fancy AMOLED ones, but for everyday stuff like YouTube, chatting, or reading news, it’s totally fine. And there’s Gorilla Glass 3, so it won’t break that easily with a light drop.

Performance – It’s Okay for Daily Use

Now let’s talk about how the Nokia G42 5G performs. It’s got the Snapdragon 480+ processor inside, and while that’s not some gaming beast, it handles normal apps just fine. You can open WhatsApp, browse stuff, scroll through reels, and even play light games.

It comes in three RAM versions 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB. The base storage is 128GB, and the highest one has 256GB. There’s also virtual RAM thing going on here, which helps a bit when you’re doing more stuff at once. And yep, there’s a microSD card slot if you need extra space.

Camera – Not Fancy But Does the Job

The camera setup is simple. A 50MP main camera, and two extra sensors (2MP each  one for close-ups and one for portrait shots). In daylight, the photos are clear enough. You’re not getting DSLR-level shots, but they’re fine for Insta.

The selfie cam is 8MP, which again is nothing too amazing, but works well when the lighting is right. You can do video calls and take okay selfies. Just don’t expect magic.

Battery Life is Solid

This is where the Nokia G42 5G shines a bit. The 5000mAh battery lasts really long easily a full day and a half for regular use. If you don’t do much, maybe even two days.

It charges at 20W, which is not super fast, but not super slow either. Just plug it in, go have tea or something, and it’ll be charged soon enough.

The Best Part? Clean Android

Okay, this is one of the things I really liked the Nokia G42 5G runs Android 13, and it’s clean. No junk apps, no random ads popping up. It feels smooth, and Nokia promised 3 years of security updates, which is rare in cheap phones.

There’s no heavy skin or UI, so it’s easy to use. If you’ve ever used stock Android before, you’ll feel right at home.

Some Bonus Features

There are a few little extras too. Like, the phone has OZO audio, which basically means your music and videos sound a bit better. It also supports 5G, which is great since more areas are now getting 5G network in India.

Also, the fingerprint sensor is on the side, built into the power button. It’s fast and accurate. There’s a headphone jack too (thank God), and Bluetooth 5.1.

Pricing – Fits Most Budgets

Here’s how the prices go for different versions of the Nokia G42 5G:

  • 6GB RAM + 128GB storage – ₹11,499
  • 8GB RAM + 256GB storage – ₹17,499
  • 4GB RAM + 128GB storage – ₹11,999

You can find this phone on Amazon and Flipkart. For now, it’s not showing on Nokia’s main site, but no stress – it’s still available online easily.

Conclusion-Should You Buy the Nokia G42 5G or Not?

Alright, here’s the deal. If you just want a simple phone that runs smooth, lasts long, and doesn’t bug you with ads and junk, the Nokia G42 5G is a strong option. 

It’s not for heavy gamers or people looking for crazy camera shots, but for daily use, it’s more than enough.

You get 5G, a big battery, clean Android, decent cameras, and a nice build  all for a really good price. For students, office folks, or even your parents  this phone just makes sense.
