Basics Made Easy With #NokiaG10 Smartphone #ProductReview @NokiaMobile

Hi Friends,

Nokia is trying to revive itself in the Android smartphone market after not following my advice some 10 years ago when I received a review device in  London from Belgium via AC Nielsen survey company for some pounds in agreement to review the device for 4 weeks. Nokia is now flooding the market with its varied range of products from entry-level to top of the class as shown in No Time to Die - James Bond movie.  

Nokia G10 is a value-segment dual-SIM smartphone that has 6.5 inches HD+ large immersive display. It comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM which really makes it within the reach of value segment consumers. The storage can be expanded to 512GB using the micro-SD card. 

It has a 13MP camera with 2MP and another 2MP camera along with an 8MP front camera. It also has a night mode and portrait mode to up your mobile photography game. I did love the circular camera design which makes it easy to recognize if you see it in someone's hands. 

Nokia G10 also has a side fingerprint sensor for biometric security never seen before in the value segment devices. 

There is a specific Google Assistant button on another side which I was not much fascinated about. It keeps giving you tips but I am not so sure how do we switch it off. I could not find any setting where this can be turned off. I really felt irritated due to the same as if you are connected to wifi, the device keeps reverting with some or the other answers even without saying Ok Google! 

A screen protector is already applied to the smartphone which keeps the screen protected. I also loved this blue colour and the design as it matches the thread structure of the jeans. 

The biggest feature is its 5050mAh AI-assisted battery which provides 3-day battery life with Type-C charging port. It can easily last you a complete 24 hours easily without worrying about charging it again and again. 

The smartphone package has a dual-SIM smartphone, silicon cover, sim ejector pin, earphones with a 3.5mm jack. Nano SIM is what this smartphone needs to work and it's a 4G (LTE) smartphone. 

The smartphone comes with an Android One guarantee to get the latest Android updates for the next 2 years just like all Nokia devices come with. Samsung has not upped the game with 4 years of Android updates so I am sure Nokia will take this forward too in the upcoming devices. 

Nokia G10 is only R2499 with a Dual Sim model so it is definitely within the reach of every student and individual who wants to enjoy the pure android power in their hands. Currently, it's on sale at the Incredible connection website for only R2199. Overall it's a good phone for people who just want a Nokia android experience guarantee for the next 2 years along with some of the features which are not available in the South African market in this price range. 

Cheers!!!

New @NokiaMobile Phones bring Technology that is built to last, Together with an all-new Audio Portfolio

Hi Friends, 

Finnish mobile company HMD Global introduces three new Nokia phones to its refreshed portfolio and significantly expands its audio accessory range

• Nokia XR20: Football legend Roberto Carlos and world champion freestyler Lisa Zimouche pair up to give the new life-proof Nokia XR20 its toughest test yet.
• Nokia 6310: a new member to the Originals family, revamped for the modern-day
• Nokia C30: bigger and bolder in every direction, this C-series hero arrives with the largest screen and battery yet
• Audio accessories: new Nokia audio accessories across four distinct new lines bring the quality you can trust – Go, Micro, Comfort, and Clarity
• Watch the ‘Toughest test’ here.

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announces three new phones and a new audio portfolio. Built to survive anything life can throw at you, the Nokia XR20 can withstand much more than you’ll ever demand of it.[i] The Nokia C30, a hero device to the C-series, features the largest screen and battery yet. Nokia 6310 is a new member of the Originals family, reimagined noughties classic. Today also marks the biggest Nokia accessory launch to date, with new lifestyle audio products streamlined into four distinct lines – Go, Micro, Comfort and Clarity.

Florian Seiche, CEO, HMD Global:

“We are tapping into consumer pain points around durability and longevity. We did a global trend report8 and found that 73% of consumers want to keep their phone for longer and would if their devices were maintained over time. At HMD, we are empowering people to avoid early device replacement and encouraging a more sustainable consumption through our longevity promises.

We are delighted to announce the Nokia XR20 – a life-proof phone[ii] with our trademark sleek, Nordic design that we built for both consumers and enterprises.

Today we also grow our refreshed X-series and C-series with two shining examples of what these ranges stand for. Our goal is to provide people with products they will love, trust and want to keep for longer.”

Built to withstand the test of life, the Nokia XR20 enhances the X-series

Extreme temperatures, 1.8m drops, 1h underwater and more[iii], the new Nokia XR20 is built for conditions far harsher than the rough and tumble of everyday life. This life-proof phone[iv] is concealed in a sleek, timeless design. So, whilst you’re probably never going to stretch your phone to the extremes of its capabilities, you can be reassured that the Nokia XR20 can endure more than you’ll ever demand of it.

Featuring one of the strongest of screens for extra peace of mind: Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™ – it’s amongst the toughest of glass out there.[v] To test its durability, Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos and female world champion freestyler Lisa Zimouche put the new Nokia XR20 through a series of tough tests. From dunking it in icy water to being kicked, flipped and spun screen-first across a concrete gravel football pitch.

Carlos even recreated his famous banana shot from the 1997 Brazil vs France match to test the device’s durability – three Nokia XR20s were positioned on a goal post for the football sensation to hit in a free kick shootout.

Roberto Carlos, Brazil World Cup winner and Real Madrid legend, said: “I’ve been asked to recreate my ’97 free kick many times over the last twenty years, but never like this before, so I had to accept the challenge. Surely a mobile phone couldn’t survive the wrath of a football. I didn’t think the Nokia XR20 could have withstood the power of my kick. I may not be professional anymore, but I know I still pack a punch, so it was an impressive result.”

Future-proof means freshness that is not just for the day you unbox your smartphone. In addition to the existing X-series longevity promises, the Nokia XR20 comes with four years of monthly security updates, and three years of OS upgrades.

The Nokia XR20 has a reliable 48MP+13MP dual-camera with ZEISS Optics, OZO spatial audio and innovative imaging solutions. The all-new SpeedWarp mode lets you capture a whole lot of adventure in a compact, exciting montage. Pushing the boundaries of the mid-range, it also comes with 5G speeds, 15W wireless charging and superior durability that you’ll love.

Nokia C30 is here to provide more room for your big ideas

Introducing two firsts to the Nokia smartphone portfolio, the new Nokia C30 is a hero of the popular C-series. It comes with the largest battery and biggest screen yet on a Nokia smartphone.

The ever increasing demand for larger screens[vi] sees the current 82% of consumers who are looking for smartphones between 6” and 7” in size grow to 96% by 2025. The huge 6.82” HD+ display on the new Nokia C30 is here to supply what fans have been asking for.

Hard-working individuals and busy days ask for a battery that can keep up. On the Nokia C30, it’s been supersized to an impressive 6000 mAh, giving you enough energy to work up to three days on a single charge – so you can upskill, stream, and connect to those that matter most. Complemented by the quality feel that only a truly durable build can provide. The Nokia C30 is wrapped in a sturdy polycarbonate shell that you can trust, giving you a device that will last.

Awaken the noughties love with Nokia 6310

The newest member of the Originals family celebrates the iconic Nokia 6310 with a fresh new take. The Nokia 6310 is a classic reimagined for today’s connected users. Bringing advanced accessibility, optimised ergonomics, and battery for weeks, it honours everything that Nokia phones stand for. And yes – it still has Snake.

With accessibility at its core, the refreshed larger push buttons and ample display make screen time more effortless and enjoyable. The new zoomed-in menus and larger font options improve readability and text messages can be listened to for ease of use.

New Nokia lifestyle audio accessories that people will love, trust, and keep for longer

Introducing a revamped Nokia audio portfolio, the new accessories bring fans reliable sound on the go. Streamlined into four new, distinct lines – Go, Micro, Comfort and Clarity – each range brings maximum value via unique propositions.

• Go: ultra-high value products offering the highest quality at the lowest possible prices
• Micro: meeting the demand for the compact form factor
• Comfort: a result of consumers seeking optimal comfort in wearables
• Clarity: top-of-the-range quality earbuds integrating the latest tech

Arriving hand in hand with the Nokia XR20, the new Nokia Clarity Earbuds Pro give a high-performance sound with the build quality and battery life that can keep up. The powerful combination of dual-mic environment noise cancellation (ENC), Qualcomm® cVc™, and active noise cancellation (ANC) captures and eliminates background noise for superb call and music clarity.

Alex Lambeek, Global Head of Accessories, HMD Global: “Much like our smartphones, the excellence in Nokia accessories is a result of industry-leading testing for quality. The invaluable insight from our Nokia smartphone community combined with regional insights across the globe has allowed us to grow our ecosystem of companion products to an impressive portfolio. It’s supported by a network of strong partnerships like Binatone that allow us to provide the best for our growing fanbase. Inspired by nature and packaged in paper and soy-based ink to protect it, each new line delivers premium lifestyle experiences at accessible price points.”

Trusted partnerships for best-in-class experiences

Today marks the beginning of two new partnerships with industry-leading providers. Spotify will give Nokia smartphone owners access to 70 million tracks and 2.6 million podcasts out of the box[vii]. Offering added reassurance against malware, ExpressVPN will be available on all new Nokia smartphones in selected markets with a 30-day free trial.

Stephen Taylor, CMO, HMD Global: “We’ve always been proud to partner with the industry’s best for our fans. Today we add two more names to this extended family of leading brands that allow for the most innovative experiences for Nokia phone owners. Every partnership further enhances what we stand for and we collaborate with those we trust, so you can too.”

South Africans Spend An Average of 263 Minutes Per Day on Their Phones @NokiaMobile #LoveTrustKeep

Hi Friends, 

Research from Nokia phones show people spend the equivalent of watching the first two seasons of Game of Thrones on their phones a week

• Global phone usage rose by 90% over the last decade
• Two in three think smartphones have become too expensive
• Mobile phone screen time is higher than ever
• South Africans spend an average of 263 minutes per day looking at their phone screens

Results from Nokia phones global consumer trend report revealed that 69% of people think smartphones have become too expensive and 81% want phones that can stand the test of time. Following this report HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, recently launched six new smartphones in South Africa with the aim of making smartphones more affordable and long-lasting to help encourage users to keep their phones for longer.

What does this global research say?

According to the research conducted by Nokia phones[1] we are so reliant on our phones that we touch them an average of 142 times a day, spending 18 hours 12 minutes a week looking at the screen – the equivalent of watching the first two seasons of Game of Thrones back-to-back.

This research not only highlights the love that people globally have for their phones, but also the growing wish for a mobile they can trust that will keep all their information safe and a phone that they can keep for longer.

“Each of the six new phones launched by HMD Global answers a concern that consumers around the world have raised. Their high-quality performance is maintained over several years of use, they all have regular software updates to keep them secure at all times and all the phones, no matter at what price point, work on the latest Android platform, ” adds Justin Maier, Vice President: Sub Sahara Africa at HMD Global.

What does the South African data say?

Results from the local research indicate that over 60% of South Africans love their smartphones. We love our phones so much that we spend an average of 263 minutes per day looking at our phone screens, spending an average of 172 minutes per day browsing social media and an average of 174 minutes per day browsing the internet. Over half (53.7%) of South Africans said that they are looking to hold onto their phones for longer, waiting on average two years before swapping or upgrading.

Our trust in technology

Most South Africans use their smartphones for internet banking, and more than 40% use them to pay for transactions, so knowing that their phone is secure is important to them.

Over 40% of the population worry about being scammed, especially the younger demographic of (18-24 year old’s) who have been victims of scamming or fraud through their phones. Despite this, it is the 25–44 year age bracket who are more concerned about privacy on their phones.

Globally, mobile phone usage has risen by 90% over the last 10 years, with 83% of people globally now claiming to “love” their phones. This ‘love’ has translated into mobile phones becoming a central hub in all parts of our lives – a third (32 per cent) use their phones for shopping, three quarters (76 per cent) for monitoring their finances, two in three (63 per cent) for fitness, workouts and tracking, while 68 per cent now turn to their handset to pay for transactions.

The top five ways South Africans use their phones:

1. Browsing the internet (174 minutes per day)
2. Browsing social media (172 minutes per day)
3. Listening to music (144 minutes per day)
4. Banking (62%)
5. Online shopping (44.4%)

Florian Seiche, CEO, HMD Global: “Today is more momentous than a regular product launch.

The Nokia C20 is an ultra-high value smartphone that comes with standout features that include the front and rear LED flash to capture those special moments even in low-light.

Nokia C10 is the most affordable device in the new portfolio. With superior build quality in a sleek Nordic design, it arrives at the portfolio as a result of rigorous testing. The ergonomic casing with a micro-texture finish will ensure it’s truly built to last.
