Nokia’s potentially affordable addition to their lineup, the Nokia G42 5G, recently made an appearance on the Geekbench website, giving us a sneak peek at its key specifications.
According to the listing, the Nokia G42 5G packs a quad-core Qualcomm processor with a base frequency of 1.90 GHz. There’s also a swift cluster of two cores clocked at 2.21 GHz. While the exact name of the processor remains unknown, experts predict it to be a lower mid-range system-on-a-chip (SoC). The Geekbench scores further reinforce this notion, with the Nokia G42 achieving 738 in single-core tests and 1718 in multi-core tests. It’s clear that Nokia is aiming to deliver solid performance in an affordable package.
In terms of memory, the present listing hints at a minimum of 4GB of RAM, providing ample room for multitasking and smooth operation. And here’s the cherry on top: the Nokia G42 5G is expected to come preloaded with the latest Android 13 software, offering users a fresh and up-to-date experience straight out of the box.
While the Geekbench listing didn’t reveal everything, previous reports suggest that the Nokia G42 might also be available in a 6GB RAM variant with 128GB of built-in storage. As for the display, rumors point to a screen resolution of 1612×720, and color options might include a vibrant purple and a sleek gray.
Nokia recently made a splash in the US market with the rugged XR21 smartphone, showcasing military-grade durability, IP68-rated waterproofing, and IP69K-certification dust resistance. However, when it comes to the Nokia G42 5G, we’re still waiting for more details to emerge. The specifics about its camera setup, battery capacity, and other features are still a mystery.
Will it be a game-changer in the affordable smartphone realm, or will it fall short of expectations? Only time will tell.
