Nokia. The one brand that still evokes a great amount of nostalgia. While Nokia may have lost its sheen and its glory days, the company is apparently still making some reliable phones. Over the years, the Finland-based company has especially turned its focus on making phones with gaming features. In its heyday, the company boasted quite a few successful products in the highly competitive gaming niche. Whether the current lineup of gaming phones helps Nokia in reviving its fortunes remains to be seen.
But by all means, it does appear that Nokia is finally making some right moves, compelling us to write this blog post. This post will shed light on some of the top Nokia gaming mobile phones for gamers.
While most of the Nokia gaming mobile phones mentioned below are not out-and-out gaming phones, they do come with some powerful hardware specs, making them a perfect choice for gamers.
On this note, let’s straight away deep-dive into our blog post.
Five Best Nokia Gaming Mobile Phones
Nokia XR20:
Price in India: Rs 49,998.
Price in United States: $549.
The first one in our list is Nokia XR20. There are two good reasons why this one tops our list. One is its powerful ‘Snapdragon 695’ processor and other is its impressive RAM size of 6 GB. Both these superlative hardware specs make sure that playing any game, including high-end and graphically demanding games, is a seamless process.
Its internal hardware specs are no doubt powerful, but some of its external hardware is just as impressive. The most notable is its display, which by all means is one of the toughest displays that you could find in the market. Its scratch-resistant, drop-resistant, and water-resistant.
This means that you can play any game carefreely. Whether it is action-packed games or laid-back puzzle games, its sturdiness won’t let you down.
Last but not least. It also has a good battery life, so playing games for hours on Nokia XR20 without having to search for charger is always a feasible option.
Nokia X30
Starting price in India: Rs 12,999.
Starting price in United States: (128 GB storage): $252.
Nokia X30 packs enough punch to rattle the heart of any avid gamer. Its powerful Snapdragon 695 processor makes sure that you easily get to play and enjoy the most high-end games. But it is not merely the brute power, what also sets Nokia X30 apart is its AMOLED display. For all those who are unaware, playing games or experiencing any form of entertainment on AMOLED display is always a pleasure. AMOLED displays are known for offering fine and crisp details, ensuring that your gaming experience is always going to be a truly immersive experience.
Nokia G42:
Price in India: (128 GB) – Rs 9,699.
Nokia G42 may not be the most powerful gaming phone, but it more than makes up with other features for its lack of powerful processor. To begin with, it has a long battery life, which means less reliance on chargers and power adapters. Add to this a 6.5-inch HD+ display that will make sure that playing games on Nokia G42 is never really a dull experience. Lastly, its snapdragon 480+ may not be exactly a very powerful processor but is powerful enough to offer a decent gaming experience. And for all these, Nokia G42 is more than worth every bit of your penny.
Nokia 8.3 5G:
Price: Rs 47,890 in India.
Nokia 8.3 being an old model, its inclusion might raise few eyebrows. But despite being outdated, it still packs enough punch. Its Snapdragon 765 G processor with up to 8 GB RAM makes it more than decently powerful to efficiently run any online game. And despite being an old model, you can still easily enjoy multiplayer games. This is all thanks to the fact that this phone supports 5G network. Now this is what we call old is gold.
Nokia G60 5G:
Price in India: Rs 14,449
Price in United States: (64 GB): $181 & (128 GB): $278.
With all its standard features, Nokia G60 5G is your quintessential gaming friendly mobile phone. From a powerful processor ‘Snapdragon 695’ to 6.58-inch Full FD display, this Nokia phone has all the trademark features that will enthrall any die-hard gamer. Talking about the trade-mark features, it is worth noting that this phone supports 5G network.
Conclusion:
Which among the five models fits your bill will depend on various factors, mainly your budget and whether you’re a causal gamer or a diehard gamer. For all those who are truly passionate about gaming, the Nokia XR20 and Nokia X30 probably make a better choice. Other models are more suitable for those who are fond of playing casual and mid-range games. While Nokia may pale when compared with today’s big brands like Samsung and Xiaomi, it is by no means a bad brand. Not at least for gamers who want to enjoy a decent gaming experience on their mobile phones.
