Nokia has stepped back into the spotlight with its latest 5G smartphone, aiming to capture buyers who want flagship-grade features without spending a fortune. The new device boasts a 200MP primary camera, 12GB RAM, and 256GB of storage, all at an aggressive price point of ₹12,999. With this launch, Nokia is clearly betting big on photography, performance, and overall value.
Design & Display
Nokia has gone for a clean, minimal design with a matte finish back that resists fingerprints and provides a premium feel. The phone features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, offering Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring vibrant visuals and fluid scrolling. The slim bezels and punch-hole camera design give it a modern, immersive look.
Camera Setup
The biggest talking point is the 200MP primary sensor, which uses advanced pixel-binning to deliver crisp, detailed images even in challenging lighting. Alongside it, Nokia has added an ultra-wide lens for landscapes and a macro/depth sensor for versatility. Video recording supports 4K resolution with stabilization, making it suitable for vloggers and content creators. The 32MP front camera handles selfies and video calls with sharp detail.
Performance & Software
Powered by a mid-range 5G chipset, paired with 12GB RAM, the phone is built for smooth performance across apps, multitasking, and even heavy games. With 256GB storage, users get plenty of space for photos, videos, and large apps. Nokia’s near-stock Android experience means minimal bloatware, clean UI, and faster updates compared to many rivals.
Battery & Charging
The smartphone houses a 5,000mAh battery, enough to comfortably last a day of 5G use, photography, and multimedia. Fast charging (up to 67W) ensures quick top-ups, with 0–50% charging achievable in under 30 minutes. Adaptive charging features also help maintain long-term battery health.
Price & Availability
At just ₹12,999, the Nokia 5G smartphone enters the market with a very competitive offering. EMI plans and launch discounts make it even more accessible, with no-cost EMI starting from around ₹1,083 per month. The phone will be available in multiple color options, appealing to both casual users and professionals.
Final Verdict
With a 200MP camera, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and 5G support at an affordable price, Nokia’s latest 5G smartphone has all the right ingredients to shake up the mid-range market. The real test lies in its camera software optimization, thermal performance, and long-term software support. If Nokia nails these areas, this could be one of the most exciting value-for-money smartphones of the year.
