I've been following your channel for a long time, and also I've been following HMD's progress on the market (I used Nokia 3, 5, and 6.1). After a great experience with a Xiaomi device I recently switched back to Nokia, this time G21. I really hope HMD succeeds and carves itself a piece of smartphone market since I love their approach to making smartphones!

I found that the night mode of the X30 is the best way to take pictures in any situation, including in sunlight to capture more details and colors.

Pretty surprising that this phone has an actual proximity sensor with tiny bezels while all flagships use a virtual version

Hello Abdulla we really miss you from making nokia phone reviews. Can you make a review of x30 with android 14?

Today, I sent my X30 for service. I was having issues with the loudspeaker - the volume was fading away after a while but was "reset" after pausing the app.
I suppose the service crew will just switch out the loudspeaker for a new one. I guess that'll fix that issue.

And then there's the difference in colors between 60hz and 90hz refresh rates.
It's so annoying!

The best thing about the X30 imo is the battery. Maybe that speaks for itself. :P

In India they released 4 months after the global realease and priced it expensive among all markets which made it the direct competition for pixel 7, one plus 11, galaxy S21 FE and S22 😑

Nokia X30 is durable rough and yes stong build phone. Love from India

Ive had the X30 for about 3 months, i'm pretty pleased with it all round. There is one issue however, after update 00WW_1_310 SP01 charging is limited to about 8.5 W, instead of the maximum 33 W. Personally i didn't experience any overheating issues while charging the phone prior to the latest build so i'm not sure why Nokia has done this. The slower charging doesn't bother me in the slightest as i always top up during the evening, but it would be nice if Nokia acknowledged why they seem to have changed the specification of the the phone now. Excellent video as usual. 👍

HMD is still in the works, there is still room for improvement in several aspects, the Nokia X30 is a good device, but the high price keeps away many buyers who find better options at a lower price, HMD needs to launch a more premium intermediary, with more aggressive specifications, and to solve their logistics problem, which is very precarious, HMD needs to deliver more in its launches, stereo speakers for example, just the Nokia name and focus on sustainability will not increase sales. A hit on the X30 was the size of the screen which is very comfortable in the hands.

HMD needs to focus on a model and deliver the best specs and improve their logistics, a faster availability for sales.

Too many complaints regarding the Nokia X30 in the Nokia Community forum. I was expecting a premium device like the Nokia X30 won't have issues.

Being a Nokia fan & user, I'm excited to use Nokia X30 & ordered after checking these reviews. But unfortunately, it's worse. There are a lot of bugs & the camera is very disappointing. It's not even closer to Nokia 7.1 which was released in 2018 as it uses the Zeiss lens. I had to return it & buy another one

I request the reviewers to not mislead people

[parashuramnbannibagi]

Nokia x30 5G phone's design is attractive and they should continue using metallic like 2017 lineup for mid-range atleast.

[Agumon]

For me, Nokia started going downhill after the 8.3 5G. That phone was really the last time Nokia had me excited about a device.

[twinfolktech]

Excellent video. I still want this phone. Can’t seem to find an easy way to get it in the states

[derekyuree]

I have the X30 and i really don't like is the speaker sound and sometimes capturing images is not that consistent

[docyagamikiko]

You need to make a video of Nokia’s new logo! Whats your take on that logo change?

I honestly prefer the classic. It has a historical significance and no one can’t take away the power that classic logo brings.

[harryniedecken]

Thanks for the video and review, very helpful. It sounds like many of the challenges are due to Android one vs the phone. I think of Android one as being the crippled version but maybe that isn't right.

Assalamualaikum Mr Zaki. Can u make camera comparison between X30 vs X20.

[Hosayin]

I don't own a X30 but must say, face unlocking performance on 8.3 5g has also improved leaps and bounds. I believe some software update has enhanced its performance. Initially I thought why would someone need the feature, when unlocking by fingerprint is good until you realize living in a cold place when you have your gloves on. Face unlock is a saviour. It works good for 9 out of 10 times. Only problem I have had is when I am in a dark room. You need to take the phone too close to your face or have the phones brightness increased. Do you experience the same with X30?

It's been 4 months of usage and the going has been fantastic.. except for the loudspeaker, love everything about the handset
