Nokia's G42 5G is one of the few genuinely 5G-capable phones from HMD in this Nigerian price band, targeting buyers on MTN or Airtel 5G networks who also value near-stock Android and Nokia's update track record. It compromises on camera quality and screen resolution compared with similarly priced Samsung and Xiaomi models.
