Vodafone deal offers ‘highly underrated’ phone from classic brand for £13p/m with 50GB data
I’VE spotted an amazing deal for anyone shopping for a new phone on a smaller budget.
Mobile Phones Direct is offering the Nokia G22 with 50GB of data for £13p/m and £4.99 upfront.

Anyone around during the early Noughties will probably remember the iconic and almost unbreakable Nokia 3310.
That little workhorse served many of us faithfully in the years before the smartphone revolution of touchscreens and fancy features.
It was 2007 when the first iPhone was released, and Nokia’s star began to fade, leading to the sale of the company to Microsoft in 2014.
It wasn’t until 2014, through a licensing agreement, that we saw the return of the legendary Nokia brand.
Since 2018, the company has been the world’s third-largest network equipment manufacturer, so you’re still in safe hands.
Considering what the Nokia G22 offers, it’s evident that Nokia has caught up with the times.
The 6.5-inch LCD offers a smooth 90Hz refresh rate; a few slightly older devices operate at 60Hz, and while 30 probably doesn’t sound like much, it’ll be incredibly noticeable if you’re upgrading.
If you’re a bit creative, a couple of the features are pretty standout even when you compare the device to the shinier ones on the market.
Firstly, it has an AI portrait mode, which uses AI to spruce up photos and make them pop a little more.
Secondly, if you run a social media account or like taking nature shots, it also has personalized watermarks to prevent your images from being stolen.
Despite being a much cheaper device, the main rear camera is actually 50MP, which is 2MP higher than that of the iPhone 15 Pro Max – expect some sharp shots.
Supporting all these features and tech is a 5,050mAh battery, which also just beats Samsung‘s largest max of 5,000mAh.
With a battery that large Nokia promise up to three days of use per charge and likely a little longer.
One other thing we haven’t seen in phones for a while that the G22 is capable of is the replaceable battery, so if you ever feel your battery is giving up on you, pop in a replacement.
A negative about this is that it does mean the back is made of plastic, so keep that in mind if you prefer the feel of metal or glass backs.
If you already have a mobile plan that works for you and you just want a new phone, you can always pick up the Nokia G22 for £92 on Amazon.
In fact, it’s also on Amazon where I spotted shoppers leaving reviews of high praise.
One stated it’s a ‘highly underrated phone,’ going on to note that the ‘camera gives good results, and everything is for substantially less than other brands, making it good value.’
Another shopper claimed it’s the ‘best phone for £100’ and that ‘Phone is really well made and doesn’t feel like a cheap phone. The only thing she’s missing is wireless charging.’
However, since it’s such an affordable device, it’s somewhat expected that it won’t have all the frills of an expensive flagship.
Cheaper alternatives are plentiful when it comes to smartphones. I’ve actually spotted two recently, and they’re solid choices.
Keeping with the nostalgic feel is the Motorola Edge50 Pro and 100GB of data for just £9 upfront and £23.99p/m – it even comes with a freebie.
Or, if you’re looking to test the waters with a newer company, I found an Honor X6a with 50GB of data for just £14 a month.
