What Nokia G21 offers
The G21 has a display of 6.5 inches (16.51 centimetres) in size and has a water drop notch. It is powered by a Unisoc T606 chipset.
There is 4 GB RAM and 128 GB built-in storage, both of which are good choices for a mid-range Android phone. And it ships with stock Android 11, and comes with Nokia’s promise of 2 years of major Android updates. There is a triple camera setup at the rear, with a 50MP main lens.
Once again, as seen on the Nokia G400 5G, HMD Global has moved away from the circular rear camera module that we have seen for some time on its models. Nokia is now definitely playing around with some more variety, as part of drumming up excitement for the brand.
