8 Gen 2 for just ₹10,480 along with an 8800mAh battery!
Nokia is re-entering pretty big with its new Nokia Premium 5G smartphone, which is expected to make its comeback in 2025. With superior performance and an awesome camera, supported by a really great battery, at just ₹10,480, one would think it to be impossible for such a premium phone to exist at this price level. The 200MP ZEISS camera, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, and long battery backup are great assets for heavy-demanding users.
Display Quality
The Nokia Premium 5G features a 6.9-inch 2K AMOLED display. This display produces very crisp, colorful, and sharp images. The 144Hz refresh rate makes scrolling, gaming and watching videos extremely smooth. HDR10+ support and 2,000 nits brightness maintain clarity even in direct sunlight. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection combined with a curved screen gives the display a very premium look.
Processor and Performance
Like other smartphones, this one is also powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Built on 4nm technology and perfect for fast and power-efficient performance with a great deal of AI smartness, this chip also improves battery life over its predecessor. Gamers love this chip because the Adreno 740 GPU is so smooth. The heavy multitasking, large file access, and video-editing activities are well handled by up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM with 512GB UFS 4.0 storage.
Camera Quality
The main attention-grabber about this phone is indeed its camera. The ZEISS Optics camera with 200MP sensor includes OIS and AI features that allow it to click pictures professionally. It features a 64MP ultra-wide, a 32MP periscope telephoto 100X zoom, and a 16MP macro lens as well. The 60MP camera includes HDR and AI features to create perfect detail enhancement in your facial shots and includes 12K HDR video recording, making this an all-perfect device for creators.
Battery Backup
There is a massive 8800mAh battery inside this phone, which can last up to 72 hours. Fully charging the phone takes only 22 minutes; it has 120W fast charging, and 60W wireless charging and reverse charging are also present. In short, Nokia’s Battery Health Protection 2.0 ensures that the product will last for a long time.
Storage and Features
The combination of 16GB RAM and 512GB storage can hold a heavy app as well as a heavy video. Operating on Nokia OS, it is based on Android 15, which gives a clean and bloatware-free experience. It has all required features like Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, 5G, dual SIM, USB Type-C 3.2, and IP68 water and dust resistance. A fingerprint sensor has also been provided, one in which the fingerprint unlock is ultrasonic and in-display.
Price
And the biggest surprise of all is the price of the Nokia Premium 5G that comes for a meager ₹10,480 only. At this price, it is nothing short of a surprise to receive a 200MP camera, a 2K display, as well as 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, along with such a big battery.
Final Words
The Nokia Premium 5G is a perfect combination of premium design, advanced camera, fast chipset, and powerful battery.
