Nokia’s new £119 smartphone is here and you’ll be surprised by what you get for that price

Nokia is back with a new phone that offers some epic battery life at a price that’s pretty hard to fathom. The all-new G11 was announced by Nokia’s owners, HMD Global, back in February and now it’s officially available to but for the price of just £119.

That’s incredibly cheap and it’s not just the three-day battery that sounds impressive with this phone also getting a large 6.5-inch display with fast 90Hz refresh rate for speedy scrolling.

Spin the device around and you’ll discover a triple-lens camera on the toughened rear case which Nokia says can shoot perfect snaps in all conditions including when the lights go down. That’s all thanks to main a 13-megapixel lens with autofocus.

Another bonus of the G11 is that it comes with twice as many security updates as the competition to help keep important data stored on its devices fully protected.

This means that you are guaranteed two years of OS upgrades and three years of important security updates. Other bonus extras include a MicroSD card slot to help boost the internal storage, biometric face unlock technology and a quick way to refill the giant battery thanks to fast charging.

If all that sounds enticing then the Nokia G11 is now on sale from Nokia’s official store.

Your Nokia smartphone will still be as fresh as the day it arrived, reducing the need for unnecessary upgrades, which in turn, reduces our environmental impact.”
