Nokia G21 and Nokia G11 are the two newest G-series smartphones from HMD Global, both powered by the Unisoc T606 processor with 4GB of RAM and running Android 11 with two years of software upgrades and three years of security updates. The G-series smartphones are expected to go on sale later this year.
There are a few minor differences between this year’s Nokia G21 and the previous year’s Nokia G20 but the G21’s biggest selling point is its large 5050mAh battery, which can last up to three days on a single charge.
Only a 10W charger is included in the box, but the company HMD has improved its power-saving settings, making them less restricted. Instead of 10%, you receive 20% battery saving, which means you may stretch your battery life even more by lowering your percentage to 10% at 10%.
With its 190g weight and 5 percent thinner body than its predecessor (from 9.2mm to 8.5mm), the new Nokia G21 keeps its 6.5-inch 720 pixels HD+ 20:9 V-notch display and high 90Hz refresh rate support for smooth screen scrolling.
It is the first G-series device to allow Netflix streaming in HD thanks to the 720p+ resolution. Adaptive mode for the display should be enabled so that it can be reduced to 60Hz to save battery when it isn’t required.
