HMD Global has presented two new entry-level phones. Despite the low price, the battery in particular is impressive. There are also three years of Android security updates. The manufacturer didn’t skimp on the display of the Nokia G11 and G21 either.
Nokia G11 and G21: new budget phones presented
With the Nokia G11 and the G21, new smartphones from HMD Global are now available in Germany. Above all, they want to distinguish themselves through battery life. The manufacturer promises three years of monthly Android security updates and two years of operating system updates. To start with, both 4G phones have Android 11 installed. Android 12 is to be submitted “soon”, it is said.
Unlike the Nokia G10 and G20, the displays of the successors now offer one Refresh rate of 90 Hertz. The LC screens themselves are in 20:9 format and have a diagonal of 6.52 inches with 1,600 x 800 pixels. Differences between the G11 and G21 are mainly found in the cameras and storage.
While the main sensor of the Nokia G21 takes pictures with up to 50MP allowed, the G11 only has 13 MP. The two other lenses of the triple camera on the back each have 2 MP. Selfies are possible with 8 MP. For the Nokia G11, HMD Global opted for a combination of 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, for the G21 it is 4 GB and 64 GB. The memory can be expanded.
The battery comes on a Strong 5,500 mAh capacity. According to the manufacturer, this is enough for a three-day runtime. The “super battery saver mode” is new, which is supposed to extend the runtime by up to four hours. It is charged with up to 18 watts. However, the supplied power adapter only has an output of 10 watts (source: Nokia).
