The Nokia 4.2 isn't a successor to a specific device. Not only that, but it's the first
Nokia phone ever to use the number 4 at that start of its model number.
The Nokia 4.2 is a dual-glass smartphone with a
plastic frame, which makes its build the most premium of the newly announced
budget offers. The 4.2 model packs a waterdrop-notched TFT display of 720p and
5.71" in diagonal.
The 4.2 runs on a Snapdragon 439 chip - it has
octa-core A53 processor and Adreno 505 GPU. Then you can have the Nokia 4.2
with 2GB or 3GB RAM depending on the storage - 16GB or 32GB - both expandable.
Nokia 4.2 has a dual-camera on the back - a 13MP
f/2.2 snapper with a 2MP depth sensor, phase-detect autofocus, and a LED flash.
The main camera supports the trendy night mode, which stacks a couple of images
to produce a better exposed low-light photo. There is also a fingerprint
scanner at the back, just below the camera.
The small curvy notch has the 8MP selfie camera,
which can also be used for AI-driven Face Unlock. And speaking about AI, we
should note the Nokia 4.2 has a dedicated Google Assistant key, so talking to
Google's smart assistant is just one click away.
Finally, the Nokia 4.2 has a pulsating white
notification light in its power key, just like a couple of other Nokia phones.
It supports 4G, there is FM radio, NFC, and vanilla Android Pie courtesy of
Android One is 4.2's operating system.
The Nokia 4.2 will launch in Black and Pink Sand
colors this April and will retail at US$ 169 for the 16GB model and US$ 199 for the
32GB one.
