the camera failed to distinctly separate the foreground and background
slow 5 watt charger

dull and boring
The shutter speed of the phone is not fast enough
there is no optical image stabilization
U-shaped notch is too thick
also lacks details and the bokeh mode fails
the vibration at fingerprint recognition is bothersome
shutter lag it can take between 2 to 3 seconds to save an image
this phone is not meant for you
screen shows slow response rates
Both devices are wet with visible rain drops on them
with poor viewing angles and noticeable pixelation in text
less-expensive phones have always lacked
Google Fi s most expensive and comes with unlimited data
the screen quality is atrocious
it is unable to create a satellite connection

colors appear slightly pale
smartphone literally takes at least two seconds to unlock using the fingerprint sensor
fails to beat the competition

the fingerprint sensor is way too blended with the rear panel
screen shows relatively slow response rates
the screen is lacking in both pixels and punchy colour reproduction
underwhelming performance and a mediocre display rather spoil
facial features tend to look soft and grainy
Low-light photography is avoidable on the Nokia 4
no USB-C port on the bottom of the device
only pre-installed apps on the device
the screen does not lock and your face can touch buttons of screen
The touch sensor does not work properly
the phone literally blinds the eyes when it s dark
Unlocking with face is problematic
adaptive brightness control does not behave as it should
only brightness level is disappointing
The plastic here is only for a frame
laggy performance and were slow to capture pictures
lack of any AR Stickers or modes
display sadly doesn t have the ability for an always on display feature
