Display Features 2.5D Glass

The screen size reaches 5.71" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. LCD displays are currently taking a back seat. This is mainly due to higher power consumption. In addition, they have the disadvantage of lower colour contrast, which can be reflected e.g. in the resulting photos. On the other hand, phones with LCD displays are in general cheaper than those with OLED technology.

Display Resolution of Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM) is 1520 x 720 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. Display´s pixel density is 270 ppi and represents another significant factor affecting image sharpness besides resolution. The higher the value, the sharper the image. Average value is currently about 350-400 ppi, which guarantees a fine and sufficiently sharp image. Finest modern phone displays reach 450 ppi and above.

PROCESSOR Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM)
Processor Type (CPU) Qualcomm Snapdragon 439
Processor Core Qty 8-core Better than 99 % of phones rated.
64-bit Architecture Yes Better than 82 % of phones rated.

Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM) is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 439. The number of processor cores is 8. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications.

MEMORY Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM)
RAM LPDDR3 SDRAM - 3 GB Better than 67 % of phones rated.
Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) 32 GB Better than 62 % of phones rated.
Supported Flash Memory Cards (Expandable Memory) microSDHC, microSDXC - up to 400 GB

The phone´s internal memory capacity is 32 GB. The size of the internal storage determines e.g., how many photos, songs, movies, or applications you can store on your phone. This memory capacity is ideal for those who have a few basic apps and a few dozen photos on their phone. If you don't expect to use your phone to play games or need to store high-resolution photos, this size should be sufficient. There is almost no probability you're likely to see this low capacity on new smartphones. The standard memory today is around 64 and 128 GB. The best phones have internal memory of 256 GB or more. Luckily, most smartphone manufacturers nowadays offer models with different memory sizes to suit every user.

An additional option to increase the storage capacity of this model is to insert a memory card.

RAM memory of the Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM) is LPDDR3 SDRAM - 3 GB. Most powerful phones currently have an operating memory of 12 GB or more, which is especially useful for demanding users such as gaming enthusiasts. Normally, phones nowadays have 6 to 8 GB of RAM, which means that the phone can easily handle normal operation and more demanding applications. Operating memory of less than 4 GB is found in lower-end phones or older models, and they are suitable for low-end users who don't use demanding applications and have the phone more for basic use.

The rear camera of the Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM) is equipped with 2 lenses, with each lens having a different role in taking pictures. Most common lens you'll see on smartphones is a wide-angle lens, telephoto lens or macro lens. A wide-angle lens is mainly used to capture landscapes and other spatially larger compositions where a wide field of view is needed. A telephoto lens is designed for photographing subjects at a distance and often has an optical zoom. A macro lens is ideal for close-ups and small objects. The resolution of the main lens is 13 Megapixel. Higher resolution does not necessarily mean super high quality photos. Furthermore, it depends on the pixel size but also on other important factors. Pixel size is typically around 0.8-1.8 μm in better mobile phones. The higher the value, the better the quality of the resulting photo should be. In the case of main lens, the pixel size reaches 1.12 μm. The aperture of main lens reaches F/2.2 value. The best phones have a lens with an aperture of up to F/1.5, where more light can pass through sensor and photos will be of a high quality even in low light conditions. However, lenses with apertures around F/1.8 to F/2.2 are the most common. The lower the number after the slash, the better the photo quality.

Second camera
The resolution reaches size of 2 Megapixel. Pixel size in this case is 1.75 μm. Furthermore, the second lens is equipped with aperture of F/2.2.

Front camera
The front camera of phone Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM) has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The main front lens is designed as a Wide-angle lens. The resolution of front lens reaches 8 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is only one of several other significant factors that affect resulting quality of a photo. The pixel size itself is 1.12 μm. The main lens is also equipped with aperture of F/2.0. As for the field of view of main lens of front camera, it reaches 74 degree(s).

BATTERY AND CHARGING Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM)
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) 3000 mAh Better than 69 % of phones rated.
Standby Time 600 hours Better than 86 % of phones rated.
Talk Time 1080 minutes Better than 75 % of phones rated.
Run Time Details Talk (3G): up to 1080 min
Standby (4G): up to 600 hrs
Playback (audio (w/headset)): up to 100 hrs

The battery size of Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM) is 3000 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day.

Standby time is 600 hours and it expresses the maximum time your phone can last on a single charge when you are not actively using it. Talk time, or we can say battery life when making calls, then indicates amount of time your phone will last from a full charge if you are constantly on a call. Nokia 4.2 (Single-SIM) is provided with a talk time about 1080 minutes.
