80% Nokia G50 review: A capable, yet uninspired, budget handset
Source: Expert Reviews English EN→zh-CN
Without the camera array saving the day, it’s hard to say exactly what the Nokia G50 does better than its main rivals. I’d say – purely subjectively, mind you – that it looks a bit smarter than both the Poco X3 NFC and the Moto G50, but that’s probably where the advantages end. With regards to screen tech and camera quality, it falls short slightly, and it’s essentially a dead heat on performance as well. Add to that the fact that the Poco X3 NFC and Moto G50 are a bit older and therefore currently cheaper, and there aren't many reasons to pick up the Nokia G50 instead, despite not doing much wrong. If you see it for a decent discount, jump right in – otherwise, get the Poco X3 NFC if you don’t need 5G, or the Moto G50 if you do.

60% Nokia G50 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English EN→zh-CN
The Nokia G50 is an interesting budget handset, in that it has no single weakness that acts as a deal-breaker but no particular positive that sets it out as a release to note either. Its screen is big – but low resolution and dim. Although it comes with a relatively versatile range of cameras, image quality is nothing to write home about. Its performance is just about good enough, but the competition is offering more for less. Much of the appeal of the Nokia G50 for most people will centre around it being marketed as an affordable 5G handset, and yet for many this isn’t a feature they can access, sometimes for years. If you simply need a smartphone that will receive three years of software updates and that offers the bare minimum in every area, the G50 (especially with a discount) will serve you well. In every other scenario, we’d recommend looking elsewhere. The G50 is a smartphone without a clear audience in mind, with no real raison d’etre – and, ultimately, this impacts the experience of using it heavily. It’s good enough for many, but the best for no one.

80% Ausdroid Reviews: Nokia G50 5G – A chunky monkey with 5G
Source: Ausdroid English EN→zh-CN
I have to be honest here and say, whilst I would like to fully recommend the Nokia G50 5G, I just feel that there could, or should have been better than it is. With a few minor changes to the device, it would be easier to recommend. Yes it has a bigger screen, but it is capped at 60Hz refresh. Its battery life is great but this is partly due to the the processor and chipsets being relatively low power which makes the experience feel a bit underwhelming. The same can also be said for the cameras as on paper they seem like a potential winner, but the experience and photo taken with the Nokia G50 5G just feel underwhelming. Yes granted there is the inclusion of 2-3 years worth of security and firmware updates which I think are amazing and should be adopted by all Android OEM’s, it is not enough to try and cross the device over the additional lines here. If you’re happy with a device that will support moderate usage and want access to 5G on a budget, the Nokia G50 5G could be the device your after. If you’re after more bang, better camera software and processing power then might be best looking elsewhere.

Nokia G50 5G
Source: GSM Choice English EN→zh-CN
Currently, the success of virtually every phone depends not only on its parameters or price-quality ratio. We can look at design, we can look at a brand, but no matter how polished and unique a product is, its success is based on how much better it will be than the competition. Nokia G50 may be enjoyed, although it doesn't have impressive specs - but the suggested price makes it not going to be easy to fight against a myriad of rivals. Chinese brands such as Realme, Redmi or Poco are able to offer 5G smartphones for the same money with much more interesting possibilities, with better screens (e.g. Full HD + and 90 Hz) and better performance. Nokia G50 can attract attention among people who like large smartphones that provide a lot of space to work and "consume" multimedia. And those that don't like branded overlays. However, there are many things that do not fully suit me in the reviewed model, such as a bad screen, low gigabytes of memory and a processor.

55% Nokia G50 Review: Affordable But Awfully Average
Source: The Verge English EN→zh-CN
The $300 Nokia G50 is neither the cheapest nor the best budget 5G phone out there, and you may be better served by its competitors. For example, the $239.99 OnePlus Nord N200 5G uses the same Snapdragon 480 5G processor as the G50 but has a 1080p display with 90Hz refresh rate for less money. Or, if you’re already a T-Mobile customer, the $300 OnePlus Nord N10 5G might be the better choice, as it uses the faster Snapdragon 690 5G processor and has the same HD display as its sibling. The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G is another popular choice at $279. It uses a faster MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G processor, has four years of security updates, and is compatible with the newer 5G C-band. Yet all these budget 5G phones suffer from the same problem: they all had to compromise in some way to make room for its more expensive 5G components. Since 5G isn’t ubiquitous yet and is hardly essential to our lives in 2021, I’m not sure it’s necessary to limit yourself to 5G phones when there is a world of 4G phones that already offers better value and user experience.

Nokia G50 Review, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English EN→zh-CN
The Nokia G50 5g smartphone arrives with the decent specifications that are demanded in today’s needs. Plus, you’re getting decent software and hardware support. But, the camera quality may not match the brand, you will still get impressive results with adequate lighting, but on the other hand, in low light image quality fails miserably. However, the total value of the G50 phone cannot be determined with these facts alone. On the other hand, the phone has better battery life and an impressive color screen. Therefore, everything is managed uniformly. If you’re looking for something under $300, the Nokia G50 is worth your time. But if 5G connectivity is installed in your region, it is highly recommended to use a 4G phone, where you will get better features and specs – like the Vivo iQOO Z5 smartphone.

80% Nokia G50 review: Buy for the battery and software, not 5G
Source: Digital Trends English EN→zh-CN
The mobile industry wants you to think 5G is a reason to buy a smartphone, but it’s not. At least, it’s not yet. It’s better to think of it as a feature that may help you keep hold of the phone for longer, and instead look at features that enhance ownership on a daily basis now, such as the screen and the camera when choosing a new phone. The G50 doesn’t excel in either area, but provides adequate ability for the price, and wins with its great software and long battery life.

100% Nokia G50 Review – Budget-Friendly 5G Without The Usual Sacrifices
Source: Android Headlines English EN→zh-CN
The Nokia G50 is easily one of the least expensive 5G phones on the market so I, of course, leaped at the chance to review the gadget when offered. While my experience with networking was basically as I’d expected, my experiences elsewhere were not. As described throughout this review, in fact, they were better than expected almost across the board. So anybody who’s looking for a great modern handset with the latest connectivity features without the hassle of paying over $600 should really be considering Nokia G50. It’s easily one of the best budget 5G handsets available today.

Hands on: Nokia G50 review

With a big screen and 5G, the low-cost Nokia G50 is a great device for people who watch movies and TV on their phone. It’s not perfect, as it’s a little slow to use and doesn’t impress on the camera front, but lots of people will find it ticks all their boxes.

Nokia G50 initial review: Big battery on a budget
Source: Pocket Lint English EN→zh-CN
On first impressions, there's nothing terribly exciting about the Nokia G50. It seeks to offer the things that matter in an un-fussy fashion and appears to do that. You get a big battery, big screen and you're future-proofed thanks to 5G support and having the Android One program for software updates. When you compare it to what's on offer from some lesser known and less-easily-available phones from Chinese brands like Realme, Redmi and Poco, it doesn't seem all that competitive. But where it has the edge is that you're more likely to find a G50 on a phone store shelf. Still, all some people want is a big phone that can last for ages on a full charge and helps them stay in touch with people, shop and do social media. With 5G becoming more wide-spread, it makes sense to have a budget phone jumping on board the 5G train and getting up to speed, ready for the future.
