If that’s you, it might be waiting for the Nokia X20 to hit the sales, though, so it hits that value-for-money proposition a little more. Also consider The Nokia X20 is, unfortunately, the greatest ‘average smartphone’ in this market. And I don’t think that’s enough. Now for the big issue with the Nokia X20: it’s far weaker than its rivals. It uses the low-end Snapdragon 480 chipset, while the three phones we listed earlier all use Snapdragon 700-series processors (for context Qualcomm has five lines of Snapdragon chipset, from the super low-end and hardly used 200-series, up to the low-end 400-series, then the 600, the 700, then 800, with each line getting more powerful).

The battery here has a 4,470mAh capacity, which is a fair size for a phone at this price point, and from our initial testing, it feels big enough to easily see the phone through a day of use. It will fitNokia X20 only. Phone physical specs: 6.67" screen display. Dimensions: 168.9 x 79.7 x 9.1 mm , weight 220 g with battery on. Release date UK: May 2019 So this isn’t quite a phone for mobile gamers, or people who’ll need lots of power for anything. But it’s not ideal for other users either, as scrolling through menus feels just a bit slower than on many other phones, thanks to irregular stutters and freezes. Pictures from the wide-angle camera are quite dim and not really sharp. The camera is sufficient for snapshots on bright days Looking at the model number of the SoC, one might suspect bad things: After all, the Snapdragon 4 series was previously intended more for entry-level devices. But the new Snapdragon 480 5G does almost as good a job as the more expensive mid-range SoCs from last year. Thus, the currently most expensive of Nokia's new smartphones is on par with older devices, but there should be much faster devices for the same money in the near future. Thus, the decision for the SoC is not very forward-looking.For your Nokia X20 we have a large selection of leather, TPU, silicone, fabric, and hybrid cases. You can choose from a number of designs, patterns, colours and functions. Top Three Nokia X20 Cases that Our Customers Have Chosen

The main camera, as is now common for most cameras, uses pixel binning to combine four pixels at a time into one pixel. This allows a higher light yield to be achieved. However, the full resolution can also be used in a special mode The Nokia X20 is a curious entry from HMD Global. It’s currently sitting at the top of the new portfolio, but it feels like a phone which has arrived twelve months too late. If the X20 in its current form had arrived in the second quarter of 2020 it would have sat proudly near the top of the recommended lists at this price point.

Since the considerably faster Adreno 619 is installed as the graphics module, the graphics performance is also almost on par with the other devices in this price range, which are all equipped with SoCs from the Snapdragon 7 series. That’s not the case in 2021. The Nokia X20 is grouped with a bunch of smartphones that are offering specs that are a step up from the X20. Don’t get me wrong, the Nokia X20 is a solid offering in this price range, and there’s a lot of brand loyalty to the Nokia name. Look around the names with an eye on specifications rather than familiarity and any consumer is going to find a phone that is stronger in one or two different areas.

Whether technology is your thing or not, you are probably overrun with different cables for different items you own.

When it comes to video, the Nokia X20 tops out at 1080p, with a choice of either 30fps or 60fps recording. The footage looked crisp and stable with the EIS setting engaged, but cheaper phones such as the Redmi Note 9T and Moto G 5G Plus can record at up to 4K resolution. Nokia X20 review: Verdict The 2-day 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. Charging is far less impressive though, at a measly 18W, which guarantees a several-hour charge time. That’s slow even for a phone at this price, where at least 30W is the norm and some phones go up to 50W or even 65W.

Each FlexiShield case is made from a special strong and durable gel material, which makes it flexible like silicone and tougher than a crystal case providing you with long lasting protection for your Nokia X20. The material used gives a non-slip coating to the case for extra grip

If you really care about getting the newest version of Android as soon as possible, you might be able to ignore that verdict - HMD Global’s three-year promise is really great, as you’ll be receiving software updates far longer than most other phones. The other differentiator that HMD Global is leaning into is not he environmental side. HMD Global is participating with Ecologi as part of its “ Let’s Plant Together”, a scheme that will see a number of trees planted for every registered Nokia product sold - in the case of the X20 that’s going to be twenty trees. Alas, the phone’s night mode is a bit on the weak side, with major loss of detail when the darkness starts to creep in, and a fair old sprinkling of visual noise. Likewise, the 5MP ultrawide camera isn’t great, with the end result looking more like a watercolour painting – and not the type you’d like to hang on your wall, either. The Nokia X20 went on sale in May 2021, at least in the UK, though we know the phone will be available in the US at some point too.
