I bought this myself. I'm not cool enough for Nokia.. yet.
![It can do it all: Sony Xperia 1 VI [review]](/img/n.gif)
Perfect review for this phone. I bought it while my previous phone was being repaired. I think if we step back and think about what budget phones like this can do we should be amazed.
I think everyday consumers are appreciative it’s the “tech community” on TH-cam that’s completely lost touch.
@@TechOutAdam can’t agree more
@@TechOutAdam I mostly want to use it as a hotspot for my tablet, I'm wondering if it's any good for that :)
should we still buy nokia G20 in 2023
I've really enjoyed the G20. It has just been updated to Android 13 and gets monthly security updates. It can be a little slow sometimes. I bought it two years ago and the build quality is great. However I wouldn't recommend buying a G20 May 2023. I will probably replace it with a Samsung A14. The current Nokia range is underwhelming.
This phone is 80 dollars with free wireless headphones here in Ireland. Thats a hell of a deal!
Yeah, am also from Ireland!
But have you got roaming... I have reset the phone ... Gone to support... No support... Still no roaming... A complete joke .
. Nokia... Are you just thick or planning to exit the phone business...
.
Thankfully this piece of crap the 20... Only cost me 100€ via Tesco... So it's off to the bin with this and back to Samsung..... At least my heart will be calmer ...
@@aidansheerin7004 Just search roaming in the settings. Tesco are shit for roaming no matter what phone you have, that's why they are so cheap 💦
I use this as a holiday phone, amazing battery, all friends are running out of juice and i'm hot spotting internet, finding our way around and still have 30% batttery when we get home at the end of the day. It's a perfect phone for a task, not ideal for content creation as too slow.
Yes it's very functional as a basic phone! That's what I love about these "cheaper" phones. Battery life is incredible.
I am very near to clock 1 year with this phone. And without any kind of doubts I can
say that this phone is the best of its class.
That was a great and positive review . Well-done 🤞
Great to hear! It's exactly how I feel about it even now. It's incredible.
Hey thanks for the review! Glad to hear from someone who understands who this phone is meant for.
Truly appreciate the feedback. This falls in the business line/secondary phone category. I would not suggest this be a phone for you as a primary device for everything you do especially if you don't have a computer. Budget phones are hit or miss for real.
The Nokia G50 is a much better value with 5G, a Qualcomm chipset, and it's barely more expensive. Still quite impressive that the G20 will get Android 12 and 13. Content consumption should be just fine with this.
It's not even that much more in price either. That's pretty dang good for $299 thanks for mentioning this!
sangat puas dari awal beli sampai skrg sdh update android 13 di Nokia G20
I like the way you review it and telling all the true stuff to people.I own a iphone 13 pro but need a side phone for just watching video and for slack office messaging hence planning to buy this phone because i know Nokia phones used to be Solid heavy duty phones in old days and hoping this new Nokia phone will live upto that expectations of mine.
Finally a good review for this phone. Please would you mind doing a review after the OS update to android 12 or 13.
Make a video on it’s best camera settings
I should do content like that more often. At least with #Shorts because it all counts. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@TechOutAdam Sure make more on Nokia G20 like It's camera plus installing process of Gcam etc. Or best camera settings on default camera.
Great review Adam
Thanks very much Roberto!
I am between nokia g20 and the xiaomi redmi 10. Which one should i get
iPhone 13 bitch?
I couldn't given an answer given I've not reviewed or used any Xiaomi phones.
@@TechOutAdam all ok, I got Nokia G20. There was an offer in Tesco 99 euro with earbuds free and cover free. So far I have no issue, with a phone like a phone. It is for normal use, not any games or anything like this.
I’m moving back to Mexico and needed a phone that’s functional and that I won’t get too upset about if it gets robbed. Just picked this up for $150 on sale. It doesn’t compare with my iPhone, but I didn’t expect it to. I think this is all most non-gamers really need.
Hi Adam. First time here on your channel. As a long time Nokia fan and user, I appreciate that you're highlighting this phone for what it is. India has one of the most competitive smartphone markets out there and it's sad to see Nokia unable to gain traction here.
PS You should also mention if we are able to watch content on OTT platforms in HD or Full HD. It's a very important feature.
That's some great feedback. There's things I miss and I'm glad when others bring it up. It helps a lot. This phone is a good phone for what it is no way can I compare this to an iPhone 13 it's just not the same price or weight class lol but I see people do that stuff all the time. That's why I don't like comparing products too much on my channel.
In India cheap phones are always being praised. They always want high end and flagship level performance from cheap unreliable phones. As a result now Xiaomi has a sub business named ic reballing 🤣🤣.
My Nokia G20 turns always on whenever I put it in the bag. Then, while talking to sb the loudspeaker turns on and if I siwtch it off, it will switch on again. The same with the flashlight - it switches on randomly during a phone call. Then the side swipe is difficult to operate when using google to return to the previous site - I have to swipe a few time with dubious success. The sound of the calls is to low - I have to strain my ears. ... HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT? WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT THE PHONE THEN?
yeah me too
It's an extremely buggy design from both hardware and software specs. I absolutely hate it, and only have it because I needed a cheap backup phone because of an accident with my Huawei.
I have this phone for just about half a year and it's painfully slow, apps are freezing and crushing. . . I am not sure if it's the phone's fault or if it's not properly optimised, but recently even system UI started crushing and in my experience, and the last phone I had that did that didn't last for very long. Even the camera isn't all that great not because of the quality of the pictures, but because the focus is horrible and there is often a long delay between pressing the button and the picture being taken. This was a disappointment, because a decent camera of a deciding factor for purchase. I miss my Samsung Galaxy A20, which I lost in the bus. It was cheaper, but seemed to perform reliably better despite having lower parameters.
Nokia Phones are fine except updates.
Monthly security ipdate are often latte. For example my phone, 5.3 is running on March Update but we have now latte May.
Hi, thanks for a good explanation of this phone :) Great help :)
Absolutely! It's a great phone. Still have it as a backup business phone. lol
Si lo quiero principalmente para ver series o películas en TH-cam, me servirá?
Por favor
I bought one today $145 at best buy. I got it because I needed an unlocked android phone with GPS to use the GPS receiver with my Icom amateur radio that doesn't have GPS built in. the only app that does this was through android platform.
I'm an iphone user so I didn't need the g20 activated, just needed the GPS and android apps.
This device is extremely slow to download a small and simple app and the charging takes forever compared to iphone.
start up time is slow also. iphone is awake as soon as I pick it up.
Thx for the vid! Was looking for a review. Really trying to get a good android thats little more towards gaming and normal use, but budget around 200. Any tips?
For me I really love the OnePlus Nord N200. It's just a bit over $200 but it's a great phone.
@@TechOutAdam thx! Ill look into it
@@TechOutAdam Hey, just got the recommended phone. Thx so much! Best phone ever needed! Giving you a sub👍
@@blaze2715 Poco phones are much better for that price.
Hey Adam, nice video.
So I need your/others advice too.
Basicly I am on a budget and I want a phone, I'm not a hardcore gamer so I will barely use it for games, all the other aspects seem OK with me, the main thing that makes me want to buy G20 is battery. So would you recommend this phone for someone who's budget is like MAX 200$, if not what's alternatives?
-Thanks
Absolutely I’d recommend this phone being a good phone under $200. I haven’t had any problems with it still. The gaming was actually the only thing I found to be an issue in its price range but that’s expected. I like this phone a lot.
It's a phone I would purchase for a parent or elderly that don't really need a phone for more than just call / text and light social media scrolling.
I had to use this phone for a week while I waited for an s20 to arrive and I wanted to test it see how it would perform for my work environment.
Processing power meant it struggles jumping between apps, the side finger print is a pain and the camera resolution looks terrible although the photos look OK once you view them elsewhere as you discussed.
I purchased 120 of these handsets to use in a work project and for the price its a good buy as we won't use them for anything too demanding however if you are someone that does use the phone a lot for more than just calls / texting I would look at spending a little more.
Just upgraded to this phone since my Nokia 7.2 was not 4G compatible. It has Android 11 and I, as a 67 yo gmom am having trouble navigating this OS. Can someone point me to a video that will teach me how to use Android 11, please and TIA!
Personally, I have problems with Nokia G20 - it's never switched oof as the very moment I switch it off and put it in the bag, it switches on. hen, the loudspeaker switches on by itself, so does the torch occasionally. These are just some of the prblems - have you had any of them?
My camera quality is too sharp and I don't like it like that what the problem
yep i had the old nokia- then I got a nokia 7 plus. which still stands up to day. But I do like the wide angle camera of my other phone. I can get this free on upgrade. hmmm. I don't play games.
I JUST BOUGHT A NEW ONE!
Nice! How's it going so far?
I HATE THESE IDIOTPHONES!! I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO TURN IT ON!! (DUMB BELL THAT I AM, BUTTONS ARE DIFFERENT)! I'M FIGURING IT OUT AND REALLY LIKE IT SO FAR. NOKIA G20!
we purchesed this mobile and used but totaly thirdclass mobile
I have this phone
How’s it been for you?
This phone isn't good front camera decided not to work have done all the tricks but to no avail. Downloaded other apps too still not working
Do you still have time in your return window? I'd do that as soon as possible. May be a defect. I haven't had any issues with it.
Very good phone
Basically, if your first mobile phone didn't have a readout made of red LED 7 segment display and was the size of a big brick or concrete block, you ain't got no **** business making any videos about cell phones. You hear me Marques Brownlee. early adopters were using mobile phones before you ever crapped a diaper, so your parents buying you a cell phone as a kid in a Radio Shack family plan does not make you any kind of expert... lol
this phone dont have swol mode
Can you hot spot with it and games good
You can definitely hotspot with it. I only tried Call of Duty for a heavy duty game, it was laggy for sure lol
Worst smart phone only decided to try because of nostalgia ...G20 is garbage going back to good ole faithful Motorala. G20 should be recalled!
It’s definitely not for everyone. Are you able to return for a Motorola phone?
@@TechOutAdam that Os is way too heavy. I own 2 different phones powered by the Helio G25, the g10 and the honor x6 which actually runs android 12 , and I can say that the Nokia is garbage while my honor is running with minimal lags but not enough lags to Ruin the user experience. The Vivo y02s which has a Helio p35 with 3 gigs of ram costed less than the g10, I decided to return the G10 and went for the vivo y02s, definitely a world of difference, Fun touch os 12 based on Android 12 despite being heavy, runs incredibly smooth and lags are barely noticeable.
Nokia phones are trash and brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Motorola and realme offers good performing smartphones at an inferior price,
Can efootball 23 play smoothly medium graphics
I love mine!
It's a GREAT phone for the money. How long have you had it?
ABOUT 3 WEEKS OR SO. IT IS MADE WELL. HEAVIER CORD, CAME WITH A PLASTIC BACK COVER, SCREEN IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF SOMETHING ON IT. FOR $150.00, IT WAS WORTH IT! VERY WELL MADE AND IMPRESSIVE.
Nokia or Motorola...
I actually haven't messed with any Motorola phones yet.
its too overpriced for what it offer
Which phone in this price range do you recommend?
@@TechOutAdam redmi 9t,realme 8i,samsung a22,32... and if you want used but with warranty then you can get pretty higher class as poco f2 pro,mi 10t,poco x3pro ,a52/s ....
BRO, THIS PHONE F#*^ING SUCKS, IT ALWAYS HANGS UP AND DOESNT CHARGE FAST, AND WHENEVER I CONNECT TO THW WIFI, ITS SO SLOW, I REGRET BUYING THIS PHONE
Can anyone tell me how to get roaming on this piece of crap. I have reset, tried to contact support and no response... This piece of junk is for the bin if it's lucky...
.
Back to Samsung for me ... Only 100€ loss but lesson learned.... Never again Nokia...
Same here bro. I'm never going back to Nokia again, while Vivo, Motorola, Oppo, Xiaomi, realme are offering better alternative for the same price
ไม่ตอบโจทย์
Es un asco este teléfono
This is the worst "smart" phone ever
What happened? Hope it wasn't too terrible for you.
Why too many negative reviews about it? I update it recently it became like a google pixel, so fast, more stable, UI/UX improved so much, fingerprint so fast...
@@deciphered1 dude. Recent Motorola phones looks like google pixel when it comes to the UI
disliked for jay chetty charlatan
Goo goo gah gah.
U talk crap no technical specifications no like
Yeah I don't like to nerd out on tech specs because anyone can just look at the spec sheet on the website. I want to talk real world user experience.
