Navy23, 29 Sep 2022That's bad idea, using memory card to handle apps. Even if you buy high class memory car... moreCan you use apps from memory card? I can not. I used to do before android11 update, but it ruined that feature plus scrapped two memory cards. Then I believed. No more memory cards in this phone. HW in this phone is OK, but updates always cause hassle.

    My Nokia 4.2 will turn 3 yrs old this December still rockin though. Latest security update was last April. What i like about this phone and the reason i bought it was its compact size.

      Please Nokia, produce the heir with similar characteristics and usb-c with fast charge. It is so light and comfortable that using it becomes a pleasure.

        Nelson, 29 Sep 2022Not bad, but I wouldnt buy it again. Reasons? 1. Awfully poor GPS. 2. Bad memory management... moreThat's bad idea, using memory card to handle apps.
        Even if you buy high class memory cards
        Class 10, or higher and use it for internal. It would still be slow.

        Better don't use cards as internal.

          Not bad, but I wouldnt buy it again. Reasons?
          1. Awfully poor GPS.
          2. Bad memory management. This thing of unifying internal memory and microSD has been painful. Sometimes the phone freezes or get very slow when trying to use the apps on the microSD

            Had this for 3 years. Very good phone and amazingly cheap at €115 for mine.

            The notification LED is fantastic. You always see if you have missed a call or message. No need to constantly unlock the phone to check.

              This phone is absolutely amazing, it is portable and durable, good network strength, nice design with glass back, I love the sandy pink colour most. I really wish Nokia will adopt this design and dimension with improved camera, battery, storage and resolution for their newest brands instead of the crap they are selling out this days.

                        I really like the Nokia 4.2. The size is just right and like the features. But wish Nokia made a 5G version with a bit more memory and storage, and a faster processor.

                            Gem, 23 Oct 2021God I love the phone but the Battery is damn weakI completely disagree. My Nokia 4.2 is two years old and the battery lasts easily 2.5 days in moderate use. Depends on your usage I guess. I have the battery saving mode on at all times and even in heavy use (watching videos on youtube, full brightness, GPS and Bluetooth on) and the battery lasts a full day easily.

                            The battery is its strong point I'd say. Certainly lasts longer than any other phone I've ever had

                                Company phone choosen because of android one, decent for what I need, but the software support is ver bad from nokia, while they deliver the updates, the specifics are vey bad and buggy. With latest android 11 I (we, nokia forums are full of complaints) have issues with bluetooth (was very stable on version 10 now is full of issues, loose connections, slow to pair, etc.) and wifi connections (does not reconnect anymore to known networks, ignores the settings that they are known networks).
                                A good example of a decent hardware (on this price range we had better but not with a clean android one) but bad software development. Nokia is not what it used to be.

                                    I have been using a 4.2 since 2019, very efficient so far except the camera but has served and continues to serve me well, it's sleek look is everything for me

                                      HattinGokbori87, 25 Aug 2021Fully agree! The phone always gained praise from the people who hold it in their hands because... moreHMD has realized that they can't revive Nokia now so they have just decided to milk the brand name of Nokia till it dies. They are just selling crap phones in the name of Nokia now.

The phone always gained praise from the people who hold it in their hands because of it's premium feel so I've used it without any cover (glass back hardly gets scratched and easy to replace). Notification LED was a also very good feature. I don't know why they dumped all those good things.
