The new Nokia G50 is a massive budget phone with 5G for $299

After launching the Nokia C20 Plus last month, HMD Global has now announced a new budget smartphone. The Nokia G50 is a direct successor to the Nokia G20 that launched in April this year alongside the Nokia G10. The new model looks identical to its predecessor but packs a bigger display and swaps the MediaTek chip for a Snapdragon one.
