About the Nokia G10
The Nokia G10 was HMD's pitch for the patient buyer: pay very little, get three days between charges, and accept that everything happens slightly slower than you would like. The 5,050mAh battery is the headline and it earns it, easily clearing two days of light use and a full day of heavy use. Around it sits a clean, near-stock version of Android with none of the duplicate apps and adverts that clutter rival budget phones, which is a real quality-of-life advantage. The catch is the MediaTek Helio G25, a genuinely slow chip even by 2021 budget standards, so app launches drag and gaming is limited to the undemanding stuff. The 6.52-inch HD+ screen is large and perfectly readable but not sharp, and the 13MP triple camera does daylight snaps and little else. It received its promised two Android upgrades and three years of security patches, all of which have now expired. Today it is worth a look only as a cheap, long-lasting handset for someone whose demands are modest and whose patience is not.

Nokia G10 Specifications
Spec Scores
Under £200 Phones · 124 phones
- Helio G25
- Octa-core (4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A53)
Based on calibrated CPU benchmark rankings (60%) and GFXBench GPU scores (40%). Apple chipsets included via editorial calibration since AnTuTu under-represents Apple's architecture.
- 6.52 inches
- 720 x 1600 pixels
- IPS
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
- Single camera setup
- 13 MP main camera
- 1080p video recording
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.
- 8 MP front camera
- 1080p selfie video
Based on the image-processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra and Honor Magic lead on computational processing), sensor resolution in tiers rather than raw megapixels, autofocus, aperture and max selfie-video resolution. Calibrated against DXOMARK's selfie protocol.
- 5,050 mAh
- 10W wired
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
