Bourgain (2015) estimated the number of prime numbers with a proportion $c$ > 0 of preassigned digits in base 2 ($c$ is an absolute constant not specified). We present a generalization of this result in any base $g$ ≥ 2 and we provide explicit admissible values for the proportion $c$ depending on $g$. Our proof, which adapts, develops and refines Bourgain’s strategy, is based on the circle method and combines techniques from harmonic analysis together with results on zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions, notably a very sharp zero-free region due to Iwaniec.
