Nokia G22 6.52” HD+ Dual SIM Smartphone, Android 12, 50MP AI camera, 3-Day 5050 mAh Battery, QuickFix repairability, 2 years OS upgrades, 3 years monthly security updates, 3-year warranty - Blue

This is a very cheap smartphone, Android system works well in it, It takes just as long as my Samsung to start, it has paired with 8 of my bluetooth devices. I have also set up my Galaxy watch to it, no problem, There is a message of corrupted card when the micro sd went in, but just format with the phone for correct root directory all works well, Camera gives good results every thing for substantially less than other brands, Good value

I bought this phone as a work phone which I mostly only use for phone calls, texting and occasionally browsing social media on my breaks. I think for that purpose it is absolutely perfect, but I wouldn’t want to use it as my normal phone for everyday use. Considering the price I am very happy with it.PROS:- Nice colour- Feels decently sturdy- Screen quality and readability is fine- Camera quality is fine- Fine for all basic uses of a phoneCONS:- It can be a bit slow, it takes quite a long time to load videos and new pages, and apps sometimes crash- My screen came with a dead pixel, it isn’t a big problem but you can see it if looking at a darker image- The timelapse video feature is really jerky, not smooth at all, but it’s not a feature I’d use often at all so not an issue.

UPDATED from below as I am so sick of this garbage phone.It has loads of memory left so that can't be the issue. But is is laggy CONSTANTLY. It takes FOREVER to move between apps and screens and I am constantly restarting it. Screen goes blank when youre in the middle of doing soemthing. Doesn't recognise your print instantly when you try to get the screen back. I only ever really use phone; whatsapp; sms; camera and chrome and only a few other apps now and again. Even for these simple tasks this SUCKS. I've only had it 4 months too. Sick and tired and totally wish I'd bought something else.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxI don't really use my phone all that much as I usually use my laptop for all internet needs. So mostly I need for phone, sms and camera (plus Whatsapp).On the one hand it does all those quite well - though I find the camera pales in comparison to my daughter's (quite old) iphone. But I find it very 'laggy' compared to other phones. And was disappointed to see that the 'dual SIM' works BUT by preventing you using that slot for an SD card. (My previous Nokia has a slot that took 2 micro SIM as well as an SD card - this only takes either one SIM and an SD or two SIMs). As someone that must have 2 SIMS and that wanted extra memory - that has been massive disapppointement.Saying that - there are a few things that improved my experience compared to my last Nokia. This ones (finally) does read QR codes properly and automatically, and it also is compatible with more apps. But the fact remains that it is often still laggy and unresponsive; the volume is ultra low, and the camera is crap in certain circumstances. Hey ho!

Good phone

Great value for money, for less than a £100..!! love the size of screen,looks ok , picture quality is good for this phone, easy to use, good memory can always add a memory card to make memory bigger.

I have had the G22 for a couple of months now, it well constructed and feels nice for the price. The performance is a bit slow but kind of what you'd expect at this price point, but as others have mentioned, there is a couple of annoying issues that hopefully might get sorted with an update, one is the screen constantly keeps turning on with the slightest of movement, which doesn't help the battery and the other is the WiFi connection is very poor, but overall it's a fairly pleasant phone for the money. Oh and one other thing, as others have also mentioned, you don't seem to get monthly security updates, I don't mind really, but Nokia shouldn't advertise that if they don't deliver! .Edit 19th November 2023My Nokia G22 has been demoted to a spair phone, it's far to unreliable for a daily driver. Back to using my old Samsung for now, might try a Motorola next.Edit 2nd February 2024After a couple of factory resets and updates it seems to have sorted itself out. It's not perfect but for the price it's fine, shame it wasn't right from the off, but never mind at least it's usable now.

A most excellent phone ****

I'd been waiting for a phone with user replaceable parts for some time and when the G22 came along it looked ideal as a replacement for my Moto G5, which has easily replaceable batteries (in 30 seconds rather than the 15 minutes claimed for the Nokia) and which I use as a second phone and as a podcast player. For the price the G22's performance is fine - slowish but no problem for the apps I use - the camera is Ok and the build quality feels surprisingly good so I'm giving it 4 stars.However, the model I received wouldn't read SD cards so I returned it after lengthy chats with Amazon and Nokia customer service which didn't resolve the problem. I'd tried two different micro SD cards which worked in other phones but which weren't recognised by the Nokia. I'd deduct a star or two for this but hopefully it's a one off. I'll see how others get on and if that's the case I'll buy another one in a few weeks time.
