It’s just that I kind of expected Android 11, since it’s a part of Google’s official Android One program. Nokia does promise 2 years of software updates, so for those who want stock Android, this is as good as it gets. So, you end up waiting for apps to restart as when you try opening them from the recents menu.Īgain, all of this is not running on Android 11 (as one would expect), but Android 10. And with just 3 GB RAM, most apps don’t stay open in the background for long. Fire up the camera app and switching camera modes takes a whole second, which can get annoying for some. But there’s noticeable lag when you launch apps and switch between them. Image: Tech2/Sheldon Pintoįor the most part, the software feels smooth with hiccups from time to time. Stock Android is the sole reason why most Nokia phones stand out from the crowd. There’s also a thick chin at the bottom edge, but that’s fine when you keep in mind the 2.4’s budget price tag. The brightness levels also drop quite a bit when you view the display off-centre. The colours feel a bit muted, and the panel does not get bright enough in direct sunlight. If you have clear vision like I do, it’s easy to see the display matrix when you view the display off-centre. With an HD+ resolution, the 6.5-inch display is not really sharp, but it gets the job done for day-to-day app use.
It’s a decent display, but that’s not the problem The dedicated Google Assistant button is a nice touch, and you will need it when the phone is locked with the screen turned off as you cannot summon the assistant when the display is turned off.
Still, Nokia does provide a clear TPU case in the box. The Nokia 2.4 is one of those smartphones that feels solid enough to convince you to not slap a case on to it. And since it’s basically painted plastic, the finish captures no fingerprints whatsoever. It’s definitely better than the shiny faux glass backs that the competition throws at you in this price range.
