Nokia was undoubtedly the biggest name in the mobile phone industry but that has changed now. The Finnish company has not been able to earn a fortune with its smartphone segment. Unlike Samsung and Xiaomi, which have massive user bases, not so many people out there own a Nokia smartphone today. But if you belong to that rare group of users, we have some news for you. Nokia G20 has started receiving Android 12 Update.

It was recently reported that Nokia 2.4, and Nokia 8.3 5G have gotten their first taste of Android 12 and now it seems like Nokia G20 will also receive the latest android version. Nokiamob, citing screenshots from a G20 user, has reported that Nokia has started rolling out Android 12 to the Nokia G20. It is worth mentioning that this update is coming with the May security patch.

The update is reportedly available in Austria and comes packed with 1.97 GB of data. If you are a G20 user, go to the settings and check if the update is available. It will be displayed as V2.230.

The latest update brings a new privacy dashboard that provides a clear and comprehensive overview of when apps have accessed your location, camera, or microphone in the last 24 hours. It also carries certain accessibility improvements such as increased area, extra screen dimming, bold text, and grayscale. With the new update, G20 users will now be able to save their sensitive data in a Private safe.

The Nokia devices that have received the Android 12 update so far include: Nokia X20, Nokia XR20, Nokia G50, Nokia X10, Nokia 8.3 5G, Nokia 2.4, and Nokia G20. It is expected that Nokia 3.4, Nokia 5.4, Nokia T20, and all of the latest Unisoc devices are expected to receive the Android 12 update soon.

In April, HMD Global unveiled a slew of new phones such as Nokia C10, Nokia C20, Nokia G10, Nokia G20, Nokia X10, and Nokia X20. A microsite of the Nokia G20 has appeared on Amazon India. The listing has revealed that the pre-booking of the G20 will begin on July 7 in India. It has also revealed the pricing of the phone.

The microsite states that the Nokia G20 will be for pre-orders at 12 PM (local time) on July 7. The handset will be priced at Rs 12,999 (~$170). It appears that the device will be exclusively available for purchase through Amazon India and Nokia India’s online store.

The Nokia G20 listing states that it has a 6.5-inch display and a 48-megapixel quad-camera system on the back. The handset promises a long battery life of up to 3 days and it will come loaded with Android 11 OS. For security, it has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The G20 will be available in Night and Glacier colors.

Nokia G20 specifications

The specifications of the Nokia G20 are already known as it is already available for purchase in global markets. The 6.5-inch LCD panel supports an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, and the screen notch houses an 8-megapixel camera. The back panel of the phone has a 48-megapixel (main) + 5-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) + 2-megapixel (depth) quad-camera system.

The Snapdragon 662 powers the device with 4 GB of RAM. It comes in 64 GB and 128 GB storage choices. It is backed by a massive 5,050mAh battery that carries support for 10W charging.

The post Nokia G20 price in India revealed, pre-bookings begin on July 7 appeared first on Gizmochina.

HMD Global has brought the Nokia G20 to the U.S. following its launch in Europe back in April. The G20’s arrival comes almost a month after its more affordable sibling, the Nokia G10, was announced in the country.

The Nokia G20 will be available for purchase in the U.S. starting next week for $199.99 unlocked. That price gets you the variant with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

The phone also has a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen with a waterdrop notch that is home to an 8MP camera. There is a MediaTek Helio G35 processor under the hood and it draws juice from a 5050mAh battery. It is advertised as lasting for up to 3 days but that depends on your usage. While fast charging is common among budget phones, unfortunately, HMD Global ships the Nokia G20 with support for just 10W charging. If you are going to charge this device, we’ll recommend doing so overnight.

Users get four cameras on the back of the phone – a 48MP main sensor, a 5MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. There is a fingerprint scanner on the right side doubling as the power button while the left is home to a dedicated Google Assistant button. There is also an audio jack and a USB-C port at the top and bottom respectively.

The Nokia G20 has dual SIM support, Bluetooth 5.0, and dual-band Wi-F. It ships with Android 11 out of the box and will get 2 years of Android software upgrades and three years of monthly security updates.

Interested buyers can grab the phone on the Nokia online shop starting June 28 for $199.99.

HMD Global just renewed its whole lineup of smartphones by launching a total of six devices from three different series. The X series is the highest-end one, the G series is the intermediate one and the C series is composed of entry-level phones. But if we compare these phones to other brands, we find out that all of them are entry-level devices. That is why it may be very confusing for a lot of people to realize which phone is the best to go for. In this comparison, we will talk about the G series. HMD Global came up with two devices from this lineup: Nokia G10 and Nokia G20. Here are the differences between them.

Nokia G10 vs Nokia G20

Design

Nokia G10 and Nokia G20 have exactly the same design. They come with a borderless display including a waterdrop notch and a rear side with a circular camera module in the middle. They feature a side-mounted fingerprint reader and they are entirely made of polycarbonate. Further, despite they do not have any kind of IP certification, they are splash resistant. The only different thing is the color variants. The Nokia G10 is available in Dusk and Night color variants, while for the Nokia G20 you can choose between Glacier and Night.

Display

Just like the design, even the display of these two handsets is exactly the same. We are talking about a below-average IPS panel with a diagonal of 6.52 inches and an HD+ resolution with 720 x 1600 pixels. The display is decent in terms of image quality, but it is an entry-level display and it does not offer a high definition, nor a very accurate color reproduction. However, it is nice for daily use.

Specs & Software

Nokia G10 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G25 chipset paired with 3 or 4 GB of RAM depending on the chosen configuration and 32 GB of internal storage you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. The Nokia G20 has a MediaTek Helio G35 SoC, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage. If you use your phone just for surfing the web and messaging, then Nokia G10 should be enough for you. But if you want more speed and you want to use heavier apps, go for the Nokia G20. The software support is the main advantage of these two handsets: they will offer two years of major Android updates and three years of security updates. Given that they ship with Android 11, despite they are entry-level phones, Nokia G10 and Nokia G20 will be updated up to Android 13. The handsets ship with a stock Android version: as always, HMD Global decided not to go for a customized UI, but according to rumors, it is developing a custom UI to get rid of Android One.

Camera

The Nokia G10 has an entry-level camera: you should go for it only if you want sufficient shots for social networks and so. With the Nokia G20, you get a way better 48 MP main sensor paired with a 5 MP ultrawide camera and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation. Nokia G10 lacks an ultrawide sensor. Both Nokia G10 and Nokia G20 have the same 8 MP selfie snapper.

Battery

The Nokia G10 and the Nokia G20 are equipped with the same battery sporting a capacity of 5050 mAh. It is a huge battery for an entry-level phone and it is able to reach three days of battery life. The battery can be charged through a USB Type-C port, but unfortunately, the phones do not support fast charging.

Price

The Nokia G10 hitten the European market with a price tag of €139/$165 for the base variant with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of native storage. The Nokia G20 starts from €159/$189 for the version with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. In terms of specifications, you can actually find better phones from other brands in the same price range. But with the Nokia G10 and Nokia G20, you get very long software support for an entry-level phone including two major Android versions and three years of security updates, which is not guaranteed with other brands. Given the price difference of just €20 in their price, we recommend you to go for the Nokia G20 in order to get a better chipset and a better camera setup.

Other expected launches

  • realme has already confirmed that it will launch a 5G version of the realme 8 and a budget-friendly realme 8i in India. Out of this, the realme 8 5G has already stopped at FCC certification.
  • However, this launch might skipped to next month as well so take this with a pinch of salt.

• Vivo V21 series

  • Vivo V21 series was rumored to come before in India but that hasn’t happened yet. The company had other ideas and brought a flagship X60 series to the country. However, it could soon launch one of the supposed members of the V21 series- Vivo V21 SE.
  • Reports reveal that it could be a rebadged version of the iQOO U3 which means it could come with a Dimensity 800U chipset with 5G support. Let’s hope that Vivo doesn’t skip any further.

• Oppo A74 4G & 5G, A94 & A54 5G

  • OPPO is said to bring the remaining devices of the OPPO Axx series and it might happen this month. The company has already unveiled the OPPO A54 4G version already. Next in line could be the OPPO A74, A54, and A94 5G models.
  • The OPPO A74 4G is said to come in certain markets as rebranded OPPO F19 while the 5G version could have Snapdragon 480 chipset.
  • On the other hand, the OPPO A94 5G could be the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G for Europe whereas OPPO A54 5G is said to be a rebadged version of OPPO A93 5G.

• Huawei P50 series

  • When it comes to Huawei, things haven’t been so smooth lately. The company is struggling a lot to gather the supply chain after the US ban and it is hitting them hard. Previously rumored to come this month, the launch of the Huawei P50 series looks to be a far cry for now.
  • However, anything can happen in between so let’s hope that Huawei turns tables to come back stronger.

These are the confirmed/expected smartphone launches for the month of April. We hope you enjoyed reading it and as always please share your feedback in the comments below. It really helps us improve our future articles.

The post Upcoming Smartphones in April 2021: Redmi, Samsung, OPPO, Nokia, Sony, & more appeared first on Gizmochina.

HMD Global has already announced a launch event on April 8. Here, the company is expected to several smartphones like the Nokia G10, G20, X10, X20. Now, a report by nokiapoweruser.com says that the Nokia C20 might join the list of devices for the day.

As per the report, Nokia C20 will be available in 1GB RAM and 16GB internal storage variant. The last time Nokia launched a 1GB RAM phone, it was the Nokia 1.4 from February 2021.

Given Nokia’s recent change of naming conventions like the G-series, it is possible that the Nokia C20 might either replace the Nokia 1.xx lineup or be the successor of the C-series of devices from 2020.

Mind you, we have a device named Nokia C1 Plus from Dec. 2020 with 2GB RAM and Nokia C3 from August 2020 with a 3GB RAM variant so it’s really unclear what Nokia C20 is going to succeed at this point.

Anyway, the Nokia C20 is expected to launch in two colors – Blue and Sand options. It is also expected to run Android 11 Go edition and the HTML5 test page shows that it’s running Android 11.  Lastly, the device is likely to be priced around 89 euros(~$106).

Looking at multiple news about HMD Global lately, I think that they are finally addressing the issue of the confusing naming scheme of their devices. However, naming isn’t everything as the internals and pricing play a major role in the company’s sales charts.

I just hope that HMD Global renovates itself in 2021 and launches phones with good price-to-performance ratios and not end up like last year.
