This is an extra phone for a family member and it works fine. It serves it purpose. Really like the price.

After playing it for a month, I like the phone very much, especially it’s battery life, even I turn on the Bluetooth feature always-on.
Some people complained there is no “going back” arrow/button. After a week, I found out it’s right-edge of screen swiping to left. Note: Someone returned the phone for this reason and left a negative comment. That is not right because he’s not tech-savvy….
I liked the phone.

I decided to go with an unlocked Nokia G400 5G because of a great experience I had with my previous Nokia smartphone (which was a Nokia 7.1, and was getting a bit outdated), but unfortunately, I have been disappointed with the G400 5G. Just to note, I have been using the phone for a little over a month now and run it on the Verizon network.
First the good. The battery life is great and the 20W fast charging gets the phone juiced up quickly. The camera is decent for the device’s price. I love that it includes a headphone jack (as I listen to a lot of music for long hours at my work desk and prefer to use wired headphones in that situation vs wireless ones; but the Bluetooth works well too when I use wireless headphones during exercise). I also love the built-in FM radio, as I can switch over to local music stations when I don’t want to be using data to stream music.
Now for the bad. It runs Android 12, a version with lots of complaints from many users. My number one complaint is that Google removed the “vibrate mode icon” from the status bar of this Android version. This means it is very easy to turn vibrate mode on and forget the setting is active. Google added a setting to restore the icon in the status bar in Android 13, so I am hoping Nokia eventually provides an Android 13 OS update for the G400 5G.
Besides that issue, the software is just plain buggy. It is very slow to open simple apps, like Google Messages sometimes. My music streaming app often kills over (even with battery optimization turned off for said app) and that same app’s audio stutters when locking and unlocking the phone. But, by far the most frustrating software issue for me is related to adaptive brightness. When I first started using the phone, it was extremely frustrating to watch the screen brightness go up and down constantly, even without any change in the surrounding light conditions. I literally could sit in a dark room and watch the screen increase in brightness, then drop down, then go back up, and drop back down again (all without any change to what the screen was displaying or the room’s darkness). I reset the adaptive brightness settings, but the same issue continued. After about two weeks the problem calmed down some, but it is still happening to a degree, especially in low light situations. It also happens more often in certain apps, which is why I am sure it is a software issue. I am hopeful that if Nokia updates this phone to Android 13, some of these software issues may be resolved and will update my review if that happens.

This device is not compatible with T-Mobile, don’t waste your money. There isn’t much else to say. T-Mobile said the device is not compatible and could not activate it.

Got this phone to replace a Motorola One Action. THE key feature I needed was solid connectivity. My old phone tended to drop the data connection in some areas – these issues have been completely resolved with Nokia. Battery life is great, also much better than the motorola – even after a day of heavy use there’s still plenty of charge left. I don’t recall having less than 30% Also, since it is an unlocked phone, there’s virtually no bloatware pre-installed. Camera is decent – I’d say up to par with the Motorola Action One if not better. I use it for videos of my classes as well as snapshots and it handles all lighting conditions well. The only reason I’m giving it only 4 out of 5 stars is that Nokia elected to put the google assistant permanently on the main screen – I believe a change of launcher will be in order in the foreseeable future. One additional note; I’m using the phone on the T-mobile network. No issues here. Interesting fact T-mobile sells their branded/locked phone about cheaper than this one. However, they will charge you an “Upgrade Fee” that is roughly the same amount as their lower price. When I asked them what the service was that this fee supposedly covered, they could not provide a concise answer. Bottom line: This unlocked version comes to the same price as the T-mobile branded/locked phone and you have less pre-installed “Stuff” on it – definitely recommend this one!
