Nokia 1.4 vs Nokia 2.4 - Android Smartphone Comparison By Tech Travel Geeks

Hello, I'm Matteo the chief mobile opinions here at tech, travel geeks, and today we're continuing our smartphone comparison, videos with a side-by-side comparison between the Nokia, 1.4 smartphone and the Nokia 2.4 smartphone. If you don't already, please do subscribe to the tech travel geeks here on YouTube right then. So we have these two smartphones from Nokia. There are a few months between the release of the two around about four or five months, and they're. Two different series: the Nokia 1.4, is the fourth generation of the one series and the Nokia 2.4 is the fourth generation of the two series. Technically, the Nokia 2 series is a step-up from Nokia 1 series, but on the surface the two look very similar, especially in this fourth generation of both series.

So let's look at the two devices from the front first, so looking at them side by side, they're very similar, the both smartphones have teardrop notches at the top of the screen. Both smartphones have relatively large screens and in this case we're talking about 6.5 inch. Now, technically, the Nokia 2 1.4 is just marginally bigger, it's 6.52 inches, but it's a negligible difference and in terms of screen resolution they're, both HD ready or 720 screens. So both devices have 720 pixels by 1600. Now, for most people, that's going to be more than enough for typing messages: social media photography with the basic cameras, both smartphones, have and, more importantly, consuming media, whether that's video, music and other forms of multimedia.

The key thing here is that both devices have big screens, which are great for media consumption, and the devices are slightly different as well. The Nokia 1.4 is just marginally bigger. One of the other key things we have here is the fact that the Nokia 1.4 is slightly more basic. It has a 4 000 William hour battery and the Nokia 2.4 has a 4500 William hour battery. Don't let that number fool you.

Both devices in moderate use can last well over two days of moderate use. This is because they're, both using relatively basic chipsets on the inside and those screens, though large, are actually lower resolution. Therefore, there's less computing power required to run them now I mentioned that. There's two different chip sites here, the Nokia 1.4 is using a snapdragon 215 chipsets, whereas the Nokia 2.4 is using a MediaTek chipset, the hello p22. In this case.

The key difference here is that the Nokia 2.0, so the Nokia 1.4 apologies, has four hamsters, or it's a quad-core processor. So it's like having four uh basic hamsters running wheels running the whole system, whereas the MediaTek hello p22 is an outscore processor. That means it has eight hamsters on wheels running the show so key difference there, quad-core outscore and the fact that the snapdragon 215 is pretty dated in its technology. It's a pretty dated chipset, it's a 28 nanometer one, whereas the hello p22 is a 12 nanometer, chipset significant difference in efficiencies here so, as I said in base day-to-day use, they're very similar, but the difference is in the software experience and, more importantly, how responsive and fast it can be because of those different chipsets that we see in the devices now both devices have handily placed ergonomically easy to find fingerprint scanners at the back, which work great. I really do like having fingerprint scanners in that position and to have them on two devices that are priced under 100.

Pounds is a really, really good thing, so well done to Nokia in managing to get that into the overall package. Now, when we're talking about software experience, there's two very different, uh ones. Here on the surface they look similar, but in fact the Nokia 1.4 is running. Where is it? Android 10 go edition, whereas the Nokia 2.4 is running android 11 in the android one edition, so two very different operating systems. The Nokia 2.4 updated in May to android 11. It has this.

The both devices have the same amount of ram, but in terms of software updates, but also in terms of security patches. There is quite a difference now we're recording this video at the beginning of July. Having a fifth of June 2021 patch on the Nokia 2.4, as you can see here, is uh perfectly acceptable, whereas having a patch from the 5th of February on the Nokia 1.4 is very questionable. These are two devices that Nokia advertise as being get being ready for and to be receiving the latest security updates and android updates. We don't always see that delivered and especially for the Nokia 2.4, it's worth calling out that the device was launched in September. We got our device in October 2020.

It took until May to get the android 11 release that was released in September 2020, so um, it's not a great thing to see. Android updates take more than six months to reach devices. It really is a bit of a worry in the fact that Nokia are not really delivering their promises in terms of updates. Now android go on the and Nokia 1.4 and android one on the Nokia 2.4 are slightly different experiences as in they tend to have different features and different apps available to them. Both these devices as we purchased them under 100 pounds, have two gigabytes of ram, but android go is optimized for devices with less memory, and you can see that in the fact that the Google launcher or the Google app has a lot of web apps.

Here you rely on the web more than native apps, just because of the limited processing power and often the limited memory, whereas the Nokia 2.4 is running android one, it has a more powerful chipset, it can handle native applications. Better therefore gives you the full fat experience in terms of android go apps. You have the android go assistant as opposed to the Google Assistant. You have the gallery go app rather than the full-on uh photos. App, though you can install that if you wish to, so there's a few cut down apps optimized for less powerful devices, so one thing to really think of here is how are you going to be using your smartphone? What are your day-to-day uses? Is android go to really satisfy your needs here, so we've covered the experience basic hardware.

One thing calling worth calling out is: both devices have dedicated Google Assistant buttons on the side. Both devices have power and volume rockers on the right hand, side of the device and both devices have courage ports at the top of the device. Now this is really important, because both devices also have FM radios. You'll need to use wired headphones to be able to use that FM radio, but if you wish to use, if you wish to go ahead and use Bluetooth, you can do so just be aware of the fact that the Nokia 1.4 the android go edition. One series device is on Bluetooth 4, whereas the Nokia 2.4 is actually on Bluetooth, 5. So a key difference here, you can potentially connect this to multiple devices and in terms of connectivity for sat nav and positioning.

The Nokia 2.4 has a few more services behind it where, as far as we see from Nokia, the Nokia 1.4 only has assisted GPS. So one of many systems, whereas the Nokia 2.4 has three, so it has a GPS, glass and BDS, which should give you decent global coverage now. Another key thing is here: both of these devices are micro, us bones. You have charging and data transfers via micro, USB in 2020. That's not great.

When the world is moving to standardizing USB type-c, this may be an issue going forward. You may not be able to get charges or accessories as frequently as USB type-c, but for most people, that's not really an issue. So, let's talk about cameras. Both devices have two cameras in the back. There are two different industrial designs here.

The Nokia 1.4 has that round center bit for the camera, and in this case that camera circle has an 8, megapixel standard, autofocus camera and a 2 megapixel macro sticker camera, it's basic, it does the job, it's pretty horrible, in low light. If you're trying to catch something moving quickly like a cat or a ROG or a child, it can be very blurry. The Nokia 2.4 definitely has a better camera. It is more responsive. It handles things better.

Furthermore, it's still not great, but for the price for under 100 pounds, there's nothing to complain about the main sensor here is a 13 megapixel one and there's that two megapixel depth sensor, which is questionable if limits of any use on the front in that teardrop notch we saw earlier uh, you have two selfie cameras. Both of them in this case are five megapixel ones. Uh, don't expect great pictures again in low light and fast or fast moving things but basic one that does do a decent job in good light. So in terms of overall performance, in my experience there is night and day the Nokia 1.4 is very basic. It's an improvement of the over the Nokia 1.3, whereas the Nokia 2.4 is definitely a more pleasant experience and more of the full fat android experience with very few issues. In my opinion, now android 11 really improved things.

It has changed the experience up for the Nokia 2.4. One thing, I would say is if you haven't already check out the video we published recently in the comparison between the Nokia 1.4 and the Nokia 1.3 is noticeable. How much of a jump of experience and just generally, how much smartphone you get for the same price in around about a year? It's been quite a big jump, but it's worth it. Bearing in mind this is the entry-level Nokia, it's a one series smartphone, which means that it's just the basics, whereas with the Nokia 2.4, you do get a much better experience. Having said all these things, uh, what I'll do is leave links in the description to other videos that reference these two devices I'll also leave links to where you can purchase these on Amazon.

The current pricing is very similar around about between 80 and 100 pounds, depending on which color and, more importantly, which storage and memory options you go for, but between the two. If you have around about 100 pounds to spend on a smartphone, I would definitely go with the Nokia 2.4 for the price. You get a lot more smartphone, a much better experience and one little thing if you're not going to be using a case. I really like this gradient back. It may be difficult to tell, but in this case the charcoal colored Nokia 2.4 has a gradient that goes from a darker gray to a lighter gray at the top and, as I said, value for money, it's great one. Last thing when I did mention that you can buy the two phones, the prices vary depending on the amount of memory and storage you get.

Both devices are expendable with micro SD cards, so you can pop in an extra 64 or 128 gigabyte cards, and they work great. It's perfect for media. So just bear that in mind right then. I think we can wrap this up. You'll have the links in the description for more information and where to purchase the devices.
