The G7 Power's take is far from perfect, either, though it navigates the challenging scene far better. There's also a slight green cast pervading everything, and the highlights pouring through the canopy of trees in the sky are almost blinding. The 4.2 delivers a shot that could use a great deal of sharpening compared with what the Moto G7 Power captured. Take, for example, this scene captured on a dreary day following a rain shower in New York City's Bryant Park. However, the 4.2's cameras don't even impress on that basic level. Nokia's budget imaging hardware is typically fine enough for what you're paying, as HMD eschews gimmicky features and overprocessed scenes in favor of realistic, what-you-see-is-what-you-get colors. On the front, there's an 8-MP, ƒ/2.0 camera for selfies. The Nokia 4.2's 13-megapixel, ƒ/2.2 aperture lens does most of the heavy lifting with respect to photography, though there's also a secondary 2-MP sensor playing sidekick, providing the stereoscopic vision that allows the device to capture depth. The wide majority of phones routinely trump 100% - our average happens to be 161% - and HMD doesn't provide any options for a more saturated color profile, so you're pretty much stuck with what you see out of the box. If you favor bright, bold colors, the 4.2's sRGB coverage of 95% simply won't cut it.

Color accuracy is strong, with a Delta-E rating of 0.28 compared with the Motorola's 0.35. With a peak full-screen brightness of 348 nits, the 4.2 falls well below our 488-nit category average for smartphones, let alone the $249 Moto G7 Power's score (558 nits). Still, this isn't a bad display - just an unremarkable and cheap one. Witnessing driver Ken Miles, portrayed by Christian Bale, trail a pack of Corvettes at California's Willow Springs raceway in his AC 289 wasn't quite as breathtaking as it should've been - the colors weren't very vivid, and the image just wasn't clear enough. But, for $189, it'll do.Īfter being exposed to so many QHD OLED panels with extra-wide color gamut support and HDR, I have to say that I wasn't blown away watching the trailer for the upcoming Ford v Ferrari film on the 4.2's screen. The 5.7-inch, 1520 x 720 LCD panel in the Nokia 4.2 doesn't get particularly bright, produce tantalizing colors or feature especially crisp pixel density. Given the choice, it's the flavor I'd rather have for sure Display: Cheap, and it shows

The hue itself is lovely, but I also really dig the powdered matte finish over the frame, which is a really clever way to use plastics and cheaper materials to lend a premium, thoughtful fit and finish. Our review unit came in Black, and while the phone looks fine enough that way, I fell in love with the Pink Sand colorway when I first saw the 4.2 earlier this year.
