After revamping its budget and mid-range smartphone lineups in Europe, today HMD Global has announced plans to release one of its newest and best budget phones in the US as soon as this week. The Nokia G10 available to US customers for US$ 149 starting May 26, in two colors — Dusk and Night. The smartphone sold through Nokia.com at launch and is “coming soon” to major national retailers. Amazon, for example, has the smartphone listed with a June 14 release date.
For reference, the Nokia G10 features a
6.5-inch notched display that’s coupled with a massive 5,050mAh battery and a
rear triple-camera setup. The latter uses a 13-megapixel main camera,
2-megapixel macro shooter, and 2-megapixel depth sensor.
All of that is paired with 3GB of RAM and
32GB of storage, dual-SIM support, and the MediaTek G25 chipset, which should
provide a decent level of performance. A side-mounted fingerprint scanner is
also part of the package.
Like all other Nokia smartphones, the
Nokia G10 ships with stock Android pre-installed. In this case the Home of
Nokia has chosen Android 11, but it promises updates to Android 12 and Android
13 once available. Three years of monthly security updates are guaranteed as well.
And you don’t have to worry about where your smartphone data is stored — HMD
Global is highlighting the fact that everything will be stored at a data center
in Finland.
