Nokia G60 - 6.58" (6GB RAM, 128GB ROM) Android 12 (50/5/2)MP + 8MP Selfie - Snapdragon 5G - 4500mAh - Hybrid Dual - Pure Black

Buying a smartphone is simple - you weigh the features against the price and try to find the best value. At least, that's how reasonable buyers do it.

Looking at the phone's specs goes a long way, but it's far from the full story. There's more to consider - like HMD's 3-3-3 promise for the Nokia smartphone lineup - that's three years of OS updates, 3 years of security patches, and 3 years of warranty. That certainly enhances a phone's value if you plan on sticking with it for a few years. Some buyers would even rate it higher than a 108MP camera, or 5,000mAh battery.

Those people would be happy with the Nokia G60 because it's a solid phone with an okay price and the aforementioned stellar software support. But we're different here at GSMArena. We're the types to do thorough analysis and compose Buyer's Guides to help those reasonable people get the best deal. And we'll have our say before this hands-on is done.

The Nokia G60 is placed in an increasingly busy segment around the €300 price point. Most of its competitors pack larger batteries, chargers in the box (not to mention fast ones), AMOLED displays, better secondary cameras, and sometimes, more capable chipsets.

Nokia tries to counter the specs inferiority with stock Android software, the promise of better support, and a focus on reducing the carbon footprint. The G60 comes in a box made of recycled paper, while the phone uses recycled plastic - the back panel is 100% recycled, while the frame is 60%.
