Nokia 4.2 product description
The Nokia 4.2 is a smart Android phone that provides instant access to your own personal assistant thanks to a dedicated Google Assistant button. This and other features are combined in a product with an accessible price.
Dual camera, unlimited storage
The Nokia 4.2 is one of the cheapest Android smartphones from Nokia with a dual camera. This system consists of a 13 + 2 megapixel sensor. This allows the 4.2 to see depth, allowing it to distinguish between foreground and background. This gives your photos a nice bokeh effect with a blurry background, making them quickly look professional. If you are still not completely satisfied, you can edit photos directly on the Nokia 4.2. Afraid of lack of space, you don't have to be afraid. The device runs Android One and you get free online storage, unlimited.

Benefits of Android One and Google Assistant
Android One has even more advantages besides unlimited photo storage. It's a clean version of Android without bloatware so you have maximum space for your own apps. What's more, it's fast and requires less of your battery. It's also safe. So you get monthly security updates and you're guaranteed an update to the next Android version for a few more years. The Google integration is so great, there's even a special Google Assist button on the left. It allows you to ask questions and give commands so you can keep your hands free for a while and keep your eyes on something else.
Main Nokia 4.2 specifications
- 5.71 inch large HD+ display with rounded 2.5D glass
- 13+2 MP rear camera with depth of field effect (bokeh)
- 8 MP selfie camera with wide-angle lens
- Dual SIM and ability to insert memory card (up to 400 GB)
- Snapdragon 439 processor up to 1.8 GHz
- High-speed mobile internet thanks to 4G
Premium housing but modest processing power
Despite its relatively low price, the Nokia 4.2 is beautifully designed with premium materials. The front as well as the back are made of high quality 2.5D glass. This is neatly rounded at the edge, making it comfortable to hold. The front has a nice large 5.71 inch screen with an HD+ resolution and a 19:9 ratio. That's nice and modern and handy for long viewing of content. The 8 megapixel selfie camera with wide-angle lens sits half inside the screen. The notch is kept to a minimum so that the screen surface is maximum. The built-in processor is Snapdragon 439, which is not Qualcomm's most powerful processor. It's not really slow but it's certainly not fast.
