What customers like about Nokia G50 5G (4GB + 64GB)

  • Exceptional multi-day battery life from the 5,000mAh cell

  • Large 6.82-inch screen ideal for media consumption
  • Solid build quality and attractive Scandinavian design
  • Guaranteed long-term software and security updates
  • Inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD expansion
  • Affordable entry point for 5G connectivity

What customers don't like about Nokia G50 5G (4GB + 64GB)

  • Low-resolution 720p (HD+) display is not very sharp
  • Screen capped at 60Hz refresh rate, which can feel sluggish compared to rivals
  • Entry-level Snapdragon 480 processor can struggle with intensive gaming or multitasking
  • Large and heavy physical footprint (220g) makes it difficult for one-handed use
  • Charging speed is relatively slow at 18W, often taking over 2 hours for a full charge
  • Camera quality is average, particularly struggling in low-light conditions
  • Limited 4GB RAM on some models leads to frequent app reloads

Verdict

The Nokia G50 (4GB + 64GB) is a budget-friendly 5G smartphone with a focus on longevity and core functionality. Key specifications include a large 6.82-inch HD+ (720p) IPS LCD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of expandable internal storage. It features a versatile 48MP triple-camera system and a robust 5,000mAh battery, with a clean, stock Android 11 experience and guaranteed software/security updates being major pros. However, significant cons are its relatively slow performance for demanding tasks, a low-resolution 60Hz display (compared to 90Hz rivals), a bulky and heavy build, and the fact that an 18W fast charger is supported but only a 10W charger is included in the box.
