Nokia 4.2 review: Performance issues spoil another budget Nokia phone
With the introduction of Plus models and decimals, HMD Global's range of Nokia phones has taken on a somewhat bloated and hard to decipher form, far from the essential selection of handsets across various price points it started out as.
Pros:
- Build quality Like most Nokia phones, the 4.2 is well-made and seemingly built to last
- Even though I may have preferred a more robust plastic chassis, the glass sandwich construction feels more premium than it probably should, Software and updates A clean, skin free OS thanks to Android One that...
Cons:
- Display Low quality and low brightness result in a sub-par viewing experience
- Performance This thing is slow as hell and regularly suffered infuriating multi-second freezes
- Camera A laggy camera app is compounded by poor autofocus and washed out images
- Battery life Will get you through the day,...

Nokia 4.2 Review
The Nokia 4.2 has been a roller coaster. My initial review unit suffered from constant stutters and freezes that made using the phone a hair-pulling affair. The second unit has delivered a markedly improved experience, but it doesn't stop this $189 phone from having several compromises.
Pros:
- Good battery life
- Nice design and build quality
- Notification light
- NFC
- dedicated Google Assistant button are handy
- Android One means 2 years of fast updates
- Affordable
Cons:
- Slow performance
- Slow camera
- mediocre low-light photos
- Doesn't work on Sprint
- Verizon
- Micro USB port

Nokia 4.2 review: Good, but not good enough
It's clear that the Nokia 4.2 is a slight misstep for the Finnish firm. We don't expect a phone at this end of the price scale to be faultless, but when the Nokia 4.2's issues are this plentiful – and the Moto G7 Play does things better in almost every regard – it struggles to earn a recommendation.
Pros:
- Well-priced
- Lovely design
- Solid camera
Cons:
- micro-USB charging
- Single-band Wi-Fi
- Short battery life

Nokia 4.2 review: Small wonder
HMD Global has built up a stellar track record in the recent past by reviving a brand (Nokia) that was struggling not even a few years ago. In 2019, the brand has announced a few handsets at the Mobile World Congress 2019 and out of those, the Nokia 4.2 was the first launch in India.

Nokia 4.2 review: Decent entry level smartphone facing stiff competition
Nokia smartphones under HMD Global have a long way to go in the India market, which is largely dominated by Chinese OEMs. But it's surely on the right track with a bevy of trendy looking budget and mid range smartphones.
