Nokia 4.2 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Nitansh Rastogi]()
Verdict
If India`s smartphone world was like a school classroom, then the Nokia 4.2 would be like that average student who doesn`t stand out in studies, sports or extra-curricular activities.Extending that analogy, you could guess that an average student won`t get much limelight in front of those who excel in studies or sports. That makes it difficult for the Nokia 4.2, as it faces competition not only from aggressive players like Xiaomi and Realme, but even established brands like Samsung. In the Rs 12k price bracket, you can get solid options, that include the likes of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, S...

Design and display

If you consider the Nokia 4.2 just another budget phone, then you wouldn't be wrong. When viewed from a distance, the smartphone's glass-sandwich design doesn't have any distinctive feature to draw your attention. While my review unit came in a classy black colour, you can also opt for a distinctive-looking Pink Sand hue.

At the back, the Nokia 4.2 features a dual-camera setup that comprises a 13-megapixel f/2.2 shooter, which is paired with a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, an 8MP snapper sits inside the dot notch on front. In terms of the camera app, the interface is fairly rich. In the vertical mode, you'll find the shutter button in the centre at the bottom, sandwiched between the front camera toggle and preview gallery. Above it you'll find various modes such as video, pro and bokeh with a slider to modify the beauty levels and another to offer modes like square, time lapse, panorama and Google Lens. Up top, there's the settings menu, self-timer and flash toggle. Interestingly, the handset also lets you get RAW output if you want.

Perhaps this is the most disappointing aspect of the Nokia 4.2. Carrying a sub-Rs 12k price tag, the phone ships with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 439 chipset, which is quite odd considering now even sub-Rs 8k smartphones have started to utilise SD6xxx series chips. Having said that, the combination of the 2.0GHz dual-core cluster and 1.45GHz hexa-core cluster on the Snapdragon 439 SoC works well for day-to-day tasks. Apps open relatively quickly and multitasking is also fine, thanks to 3GB of RAM.
