The Nokia 4.2, despite what the model name might suggests, isn’t an heir to a specific device. Not only that, but it’s the first Nokia phone ever to use the number 4 at that start of its model number.
The Nokia 4.2 is a dual-glass smartphone with a plastic frame, which makes its build the most premium of the newly announced budget offers. The 4.2 model packs a waterdrop-notched TFT display of 720p and 5.71″ in diagonal.
The 4.2 runs on a Snapdragon 439 chip – it has octa-core A53 processor and Adreno 505 GPU. Then you can have the Nokia 4.2 with 2GB or 3GB RAM depending on the storage – 16GB or 32GB – both expandable.

There is also a fingerprint scanner at the back, just below the camera.
The small curvy notch has the 8MP selfie camera, which can also be used for AI-driven Face Unlock. And speaking about AI, we should note the Nokia 4.2 has a dedicated Google Assistant key, so talking to Google’s smart assistant is just one click away.
