Testrapporten voor de Nokia G42
Nokia's G42 surprises with a daring purple color scheme on request, is supposed to be easy to repair, and brings 5G connectivity at a low price. Does Nokia give important impetus with recycled materials and update promises, or is it just one smartphone among many?

Voor een toestel van 249 euro doet de Nokia G42 in de basis niet onder voor de concurrentie binnen hetzelfde segment. Voor een paar tientjes meer scoor je echter al de fenomenale Samsung Galaxy A34 5G, maar dan loop je wel de duurzaamheidsopties mis (en zit je technisch gezien al een stapje hoger in de markt). De duurzaamheid is de belangrijkste factor van deze smartphone. Echter, Nokia heeft op dat vlak nog heel wat in te halen. Onderdelen vervangen neemt veel tijd in beslag en vergt vaak een complete ontmanteling van de smartphone. Dat pakt een concurrent als Fairphone dan weer veel slimmer aan. Verder is het toestel voor dagelijks gebruik prima inzetbaar.

Nokia should be commended for offering us the necessary tools to help the G42 last longer than the average smartphone. But the default setup out of the box is lacking in virtually all areas when compared to competitor devices that cost similar or less money. It redeems itself by being good looking (in its purple guise) and the main camera does take passable shots in good lighting. Elsewhere it's hard to get too enthusiastic. The lack of both a full HD display and 120Hz refresh rate is disappointing, considering what you're asked to pay and the fact we're well into 2023.

As we saw with the Nokia G22, the biggest problem facing the Nokia G42 5G is that its repairability is ultimately undermined by the stingy number of OS upgrades. The ability to replace a failing battery easily is considerably less of a unique selling point if you’re barely going to be using the phone long enough for the cell to wear out in the first place. Granted, OS updates rarely go beyond three years for most phones, but if Nokia wants to add some more trouser to its talk, this is an area that seriously needs to be addressed. This is especially frustrating as, aside from a couple of minor annoyances, the G42 5G is a solid £200 phone. Performance is in line with the competition, battery life is excellent and the camera suite is surprisingly good. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 is still just about top dog in this price range, as the G42 5G can’t surpass that Full HD AMOLED screen, but if you value battery life over display quality, the Nokia G42 5G is a commendable silver medallist.

A good value 5G phone with the extra sparkle of repairability to attract buyers. It’s a very decent performer, looks good in purple, and offers a reasonable camera system as long as you use it in good light. At a budget price, the lower-mid-range performance on offer here makes it a tempting prospect, but questions remain over its longevity.

Overall, Nokia G42 is a solid inexpensive and reliable smartphone that performs capably without doing anything exceptionally well.

Now available in Australia, the Nokia G42 continues HMD Global’s work in making phones you can repair yourself, contributing to a more sustainable tech economy. It also comes in a fetching shade of purple while supporting 5G connectivity. It’s the more powerful follow-up to the G22 launched earlier this year, made in collaboration with global repair organisation iFixit. Notably, the new Nokia G42 ships with Android 13 and wields the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480+ 5G processor; all steps up from its G22 predecessor. As reported earlier in the year based on research from MobileMuster, Australians produce an average of 25kg of e-waste every year. Enabling people to repair technology at home for cheaper than going to a specialty shop is intended to reduce wastage and encourage users to hold onto devices for longer.

There can be no doubt about it, making a phone that stands out at any price is no easy task. With the G42, Nokia has gone for an unusual colour (‘So Purple’) and repairability to achieve this. Both are to be commended, but even without these, the G42 is a solid phone. Though its screen isn’t the highest resolution, it doesn’t have the fastest camera, and it isn’t the most powerful around, it has some compelling qualities to it. With a distinctive design, excellent battery life, long update support, laid-back software and good repairability, the Nokia G42 has a lot going for it, and is a great option for anyone looking for a quality budget handset – provided they aren’t also mobile gamers. For better performance and cameras, you’ll have to spend a little extra on the likes of the Google Pixel 6a.

The Nokia G42 is a cheap phone just grazes the bottom of the middle range, but it comes with a trick: you can buy spare parts and repair it yourself, if you’re so inclined. Performance is adequate and the price is extremely reasonable, so it might be an attractive buy even if you never want to rip the charging port out and replace it.

And the overall feel is speedy, simple and snappy between apps; as good as any mid-priced smart phone on the market. There’s 128GB of storage, so plenty of room for your files and pictures, which can be expanded up to 1TB with a MicroSD card. And the three cameras on the back include a 50MP main one backed by two 2MP cameras specifically for macro and depth, allowing the G42 to capture very nice pictures in all kinds of high and low lighting situations. It has a versatile 3.5 mm headphone jack socket and is charged up with the usual USB-C input. Overall, a very good mobile phone for £199 giving users power and flexibility while also the promise of a future-proofed repairable handset for years to come.

Commentaar
Qualcomm Adreno 619:
Geïntegreerde grafische kaart (in de Snapdragon 750G) gebaseerd op de Adreno 600 architectuur. De prestaties zijn veel beter dan de oude Adreno 612.
Alleen oudere games kunnen vloeiend draaien met deze grafische chips (als ze niet veeleisend zijn). Gedeeld geheugen grafische cores in deze categorie hebben het voordeel van minder warmte-ontwikkeling en langere batterijlooptijd. Voor kantoor, internet, beeldcorrectie- en videomonteringswerk zijn deze grafische chips nog steeds bruikbaar zonder enige beperkingen.

6.56": Er bestaan maar weinig smartphones met een groter scherm.
Grote schermformaten laten hogere resoluties toe. Details zoals letters zijn groter. Anderzijds is het energieverbruik lager bij kleine schermdiagonalen en de toestellen zijn kleiner, lichter en goedkoper.
>>Om de fijnheid van het scherm te vinden, kijk in onze DPI-lijst.
76.43%: Dit cijfer is niet echt overtuigend. Het moet in acht worden genomen dat er bijna geen laptops zijn die een score onder de 60% hebben. Dit notebook is beneden gemiddeld beoordeeld, en is niet aanbevolen te kopen.
