And with a dedicated Google Assistant button, whether you need help finding a restaurant or just want to check cinema times, Google Assistant is ready to help. All you need to do is ask – it couldn’t be easier.From snap to upload with no stopsTwo cameras on the back might be fairly standard on new phones, but not how the Nokia 4.2 does it. You’ve got a 13MP main camera, plus a depth-sensing camera. So once you’ve taken the perfect shot, you can add a fancy blurred background. No editing apps needed.And let’s not forget the selfie camera. It’s got facial recognition (for when you can’t be bothered to put in a password) and, of course, takes a great picture.Battery power that won’t let you downIt’s no good having a high-spec phone if it dies before you’ve even left work. The Nokia 4.2 can handle up to 18 hours of solid browsing online (don’t take that as a challenge). And when it’s just in your pocket – you’ve got days.
