Nokia has launched its latest budget smartphone – the Nokia G42, aimed at users who want reliable performance, stylish design, and a 50MP camera without burning a hole in their pocket. The device is already gaining attention for delivering a balanced mix of looks, features, and affordability under ₹12,000.
Elegant Design That Feels Premium
Despite being a budget offering, the Nokia G42 brings in a sleek, clean design with curved edges and a matte-textured rear that looks more premium than its price suggests. The phone is available in attractive color options like So Pink, So Purple, and So Grey, standing out in the crowded entry-level segment.
Sharp 50MP AI Camera Setup
The highlight of the Nokia G42 is its 50MP main rear camera, equipped with AI enhancements to deliver detailed shots, even in challenging lighting. It supports features like Night Mode, Portrait Mode, and HDR. The front camera is an 8MP selfie shooter, good enough for casual selfies and video calling.
Reliable Daily Performance with 5G Support
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480+ 5G processor, the Nokia G42 offers smooth day-to-day usage for social media, video streaming, and light gaming. Paired with 4GB/6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, it ensures multitasking without significant lag. It also supports virtual RAM expansion and has a microSD slot for storage boost.
Long-Lasting Battery Life
With a 5000mAh battery, the Nokia G42 can easily last a full day or more, even with moderate to heavy use. It supports 20W fast charging, so users won’t have to wait long for a quick top-up. The phone also includes battery health optimization for long-term durability.
Clean Android Experience
Running on Android 13, the phone offers a bloat-free, ad-free interface with a promise of 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security patches — a rare offering in this price range. It’s ideal for users who want a simple, clean user interface without unnecessary apps or ads.
Price & Availability
The Nokia G42 is priced starting at just ₹11,999 in India. It is available on Amazon, Nokia’s official store, and selected retail outlets. Early buyers can grab exchange bonuses and bank offers, making the deal even more attractive.
With its 50MP camera, eye-catching design, stock Android, and 5G support, the Nokia G42 is one of the most balanced budget smartphones in 2025. If you’re looking for a solid all-rounder under ₹12,000, this phone should be high on your list.
