About this deal

For users who are truly after a basic ‘dumb’ phone, it does the job. You can call and send messages, play a game while waiting for a train, drop it in the rain and forget to charge it most nights. According to research by Nokia and GSMA Intelligence, annual productivity and energy-saving gains of 10–20% can be realized through the conversion to smart factories. Producing a mid-range phone in 2021 that is not only technically good but that stands apart from the crowd is no mean feat. And despite Nokia’s best efforts with the X10, it doesn’t do quite enough to distance itself from the competition. Rounding out the camera suite is the video recording, which tops out at 1080p at 30fps. There’s no stabilisation, so expect to see some quivering in your footage, but otherwise, it mostly gets the job done – it’s a little sluggish in reacting to changes in exposure, but it gets there eventually, and picture quality is on a par with still images from the main camera. This isn’t to say that the screen on the X10 is bad in any particular way. Covering 87% of the sRGB colour gamut with a total volume of 104%, the Nokia X10’s colours aren’t completely off-kilter, and the settings menu offers finer-grained controls over colour temperature as well. Most will want to skew this a little warmer than the default, which tends to be a little too cool.

Using memory extension (virtual RAM) requires enough storage space. To protect the storage, memory extension is automatically and permanently disabled once 90% of the usage limit is reached. This can occur after 4 years of heavy usage.

The Nokia X10 comes with a standard camera setup, which consists of a quad array of sensors, but only two of which are useful. There is a 48MP (f/1.8) main shooter, which is flanked by a 5MP ultrawide sensor, followed by a 2MP macro camera and 2MP depth sensor.

It also seems selectively dumb, offering a Facebook app but nothing else – which for Gen Z would maintain the digital detox element as they rarely use it, but could lure in others. Nokia calls for accelerated digitalization and green energy uptake , sets sights on 100% green electricity by 2025 Call for public sector to provide framework for stimulus, regulation and standardization that supports greener, digitalized world. New 100% renewable electricity target across Nokia facilities, including offices, R&D labs, and factories. Battery has limited recharge cycles and battery capacity reduces over time. Eventually the battery may need to be replaced.

If you can stretch your budget a little further, you need only look at the scores for the Moto G13 and Realme C31 to see what kind of performance leaps you can get for a bit more money; the Realme pulls a solid 67% ahead of the Nokia in the multicore results, while the Moto goes even further, closing in on a 75% lead.

Based on durability test conducted by HMD Global. MIL-STD-810H certified up to 1.5m drop protection.

Nokia doesn’t list the aperture size for the 50MP main lens, but after tooling around with it for a while, I can’t imagine it’s particularly great. If the lighting conditions are decent, images are mostly acceptable, with well-balanced exposure and natural colours, but I wasn’t impressed by the overall level of detail for a 50MP lens. Terms and conditions apply. Nokia smartphone screen replacement terms and conditions available at https://www.nokia.com/phones/screen-replacement-promo-terms Nokia’s ReefShark powered plug-in cards cut power consumption by up to 75%, while its FP5 routing silicon reduces power consumption by 75% compared to previous generations. New cooling systems developed by Nokia for energy-intensive base stations can reduce energy use by roughly 70%. Nokia advocates for the world to digitalize to reach net zero and align the digital and green transformations. This is less than some of the competition managed to achieve, especially the likes of the Moto G9 Power, but it’s a respectable score nonetheless. Subjectively, the phone was always able to make it through a full day of pulling notifications and general use, though never quite making it into a second.

The battery testing was conducted using a real-life usage test by HMD Global. The test included active usage of a device for 5 hours per day with a new battery. Usage included e.g. gaming, video streaming, calling, sending SMS, browsing and using apps (such as social media, news, navigation and music). The test was conducted with normal device settings in a lit indoor environment. The device was left on standby overnight. Portrait mode proved to be a pleasant surprise, with edge detection working quite well, and the included macro cam proved to capture the occasional decent image – though this took a lot of effort to achieve. Low-light performance was competent, too, but it won’t challenge the more premium competition any time soon.Espoo, Finland – Nokia has called for accelerated digitalization and green energy uptake, as well as set ting its sights on 100% renewable electricity in its own operations by 2025 . The screen on the Nokia X10 may be big in size, but it’s certainly not in ambition. While the competition are adopting high-refresh panels, with boosted resolutions and AMOLED tech as standard, the 6.67in offering on the X10 remains average in almost every regard. From the 1080p resolution to the bog-standard 60Hz refresh, there’s not much on offer here to outdo the competition.
