Nokia introduced several new smartphones in the US this month, including the rugged XR21 with an “indestructible” build. Soon, HMD Global may launch a new affordable smartphone in the G series, called Nokia G42 5G. The smartphone was recently spotted on the Geekbench website, running Android 13 and an unknown Qualcomm processor. Here are the details.

New Nokia G42 5G could launch soon

The Nokia G42 was recently spotted on Geekbench with its key specifications. The handset was listed on the benchmarking site with quad core Qualcomm processor with a base frequency of 1.90 GHz. There’s also a fast cluster of two cores, clocked at 2.21 Ghz. While we don’t know the exact name of this processor, it is expected to be a lower mid-range SoC.

This is further evidenced by the running score. The Nokia G42 has managed to score 738 in single-core tests and 1718 in multi-core tests. The Geekbench listing further suggests that the smartphone gets at least 4GB of RAM and runs the Android 13 software out of the box. This is all the information we get from the present listing.

Previous reports claim the Nokia G42 will also have a 6GB RAM variant with 128GB of built-in storage. The smartphone could boast a screen resolution of 1612*720 and be available in purple and gray color options. Other details about the smartphone are still anyone’s guess. We hope to learn more in the coming days.

As we mentioned above, Nokia recently unveiled the rugged XR21 smartphone in the US with MIL-STD 810H military-grade durability, IP68-rated waterproofing, and IP69K-certification dust resistance. It comes powered by the Snapdragon 695 processor, coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage.
