Nokia G50 launched with Snapdragon 480 SoC and 48 megapixel cameras, check price and specs

HMD launched its new smartphone earlier than expected. The guardian of Nokia Mobile announced the launch of the Nokia G50 smartphone a few days before the event scheduled for October 6. This is the first 5G G-series phone that HMD introduced earlier this year with two phones – G20 and G10. It is very similar to the Nokia X series due to the Snapdragon 480 chipset, which you can also find in the Nokia X20, Nokia X10, and Nokia XR20. The design of the phone, however, is identical to that of other G-series phones.

The Nokia G50 has arrived in the UK and the US at the moment. There is no information on when HMD will launch this phone in other markets, especially India where many Nokia phones are still not available. HMD now has a reasonable range of 5G phones, but none of them are available in India at the moment. Also, since the Nokia G50 has already arrived, it will be interesting to see what HMD launches at the event on October 6. There is one more tablet that HMD is supposed to unveil, in which case the event could be just for the Nokia T20 Android tablet. We’ll find out what HMD has in store for us on October 6.

Nokia G50 price

The Nokia G50 costs £ 199.99 for the only variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. This translates to around Rs 20,100 which makes the phone a bit pricey as you can get a 5G phone in India for as little as Rs 15,000. Additionally, HMD has yet to say anything about the India launch of the Nokia G50 phone. The Nokia G50 is available in Midnight Sun and Ocean Blue color options.

Nokia G50 Specifications

The Nokia G50 is a mid-range phone that brings the classic HMD design to Nokia phones. There is a 6.82 inch HD + display on the Nokia G50 with a maximum brightness of 450 nits. It’s weird that HMD still has HD + displays on their smartphones at this price point when almost every other brand gives you a Full-HD + display. The Nokia G50 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 octa-core processor, paired with 4 GB of RAM. This means that you can’t expect the fastest performance or fastest games on this phone. There is a microSD card slot to expand the internal memory from 64 GB up to 512 GB.

HMD said the Nokia G50 will come preloaded with Android 11 and two years of Android version upgrades. This is particularly standard for most Nokia phones. But that’s good because customers will be able to use the phone for longer without needing to upgrade. There will also be three years of Android security updates.

On the back, the Nokia G50 has a 48-megapixel main camera, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel depth-sensing camera. On the front, there’s an 8-megapixel selfie camera that resides inside the teardrop-style notch on the screen. The Nokia G50 supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC among other connectivity options. It’s backed by a 5000mAh battery, which is removable, and it supports 18W fast charging using the USB-C port on the bottom, with the included charger. The Nokia G50 is 8.85mm thick and weighs 220 grams.
