Nokia X30 5G | The Eco-Friendly Phone!

The Nokia X30 5G is a £399 mid-range smartphone boasting planet-saving design, 50MP camera tech and respectable specs. This hands-on review shows off the Nokia X30 5G's main features, stay tuned for a more in-depth video!

That specification isn't bad for this price, although the performance isn't as tight as some other phones from Nothing and Poco. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 runs the show, so you'll be able to enjoy some light gaming on PubG, CODM etc. Just don't expect to run Genshin Impact with a smooth frame rate.

The Nokia X30 5G serves up a simple dual lens rear camera, with a 50MP primary sensor. This includes an updated night mode and plenty of other typical features, although no 4K video recording.

You also have a water-resistant IP67 design, while the 4200mAh battery should hopefully see you through a full day. The Nokia X30 5G has an OLED screen but only mono speakers, and there's no microSD memory card support to expand that storage. Thankfully you'll get at least 128GB space if you pay that £399 UK asking price.

Nokia did everything right with the X30, _everything, _ except the chipset. I've converted €400 and it comes to ₹40, 672 in my place and it's ridiculously expensive for a Snapdragon 695! We have Moto Edge 30 (778+) at ₹28, 999; Nothing Phone (1) (778+)at ₹32, 499 and Pixel 6A (Tensor 1) at ₹37, 480 - all with good chipsets. ₹41k for a 695 would have people call you bonkers here!

Edit - I used '£' instead of '€', my bad.

Finally made something that looks interesting and that's not generic or cheap looking.

[cipriantaoshu]

Finally, a good new brand Nokia, after 3-4 years.

[WTF-omqh]

Glad that Nokia is going back on track

This reminds my of my 60" Sky Glass, "the world's first carbon neutral TV"...

I've had to buy a smart plug so I can switch it off at the wall when not being watched as it sucks 90w merely being in standby. The same as a high end gaming laptop with dedicated graphics going at full pelt. For reference, my 60" Samsung in the next room idles at 3w in standby.

a killer deal with the lower price and guaranteed updates of Android! Wish it had a headphone jack though. We don't all want ear beans.

Very decent phone, I think the X30 is the right mix, not way too expensive, yet a solid build device with clean Android. This is a nice phone, no doubt about that.

I WILL BUY THIS JUST FOR THE DESIGN!! 🤯

[bhuindermohanrari]

This seems like a good option although the pricing is little bit on a higher side but it is yet worth considering. After all, if not all, atleast most of us kust have owned a nokia phone in the past

[MessJB]

This is gonna hit for sure. Been waiting for a decent midranger from Nokia since Nokia 7 Plus. I think this is it. This will be my next phone.

[SneezingEagle]

[michaelerzuah]

Quite a beautiful design with no gimmicky cameras

[iDownfallv]

Nokia (HMD Global) doing REALLY GOOD recently. Glad to see Nokia coming back to the great Stuff. Their Tablets are great as well. I would pick the Nokia Devices if I would go with Android. They do the best complete Experience.

[darkentity]

Now they've finally started using 695... Few more years they'll be ready to use proper flagship chip

[nocreadits]

I just watch this pv an hour ago, and look at this guy

as always, you're the best

[kuyarockstv]

damn nokia... you did it.... the design... 😱

[daliamosesp]

i own the Nokia XR20 and previously Samsung S21 and I LOVE how good victus is. it held up to me getting drunk and throwing the phone across the room many, many times.

i want another second phone i dunno if i'll get this or wait and dream for a smaller XR20 with updated chipset?? i guess i can only dream.

glad to see nokia's back at the game . producing solely budget phones would have never gotten them anywhere

[sreedattaaditya]
