Nokia X10 | Unboxing, Tour & X20 Comparison

Unboxing the Nokia X10, a budget-friendly 5G smartphone for 2021 with quad lens camera, plus stock Android One with guaranteed updates. This hands-on review tours the features and specs and compares the Nokia X10 vs the X20, which I already featured on Tech Spurt.

For a £249 asking price, this HMD handset is a respectable setup (if not as tightly specced as some rivals from Xiaomi, etc). The Snapdragon 480 chipset is definitely underpowered vs the Mi 10T Lite, Moto G 5G Plus etc, but it's good enough for everyday use and even light gaming. And while the IPS screen tops off at 60Hz, it's still bright and reasonably sharp.

The Nokia X10 sports a respectable 48MP primary sensor, which holds up well compared with the X20's 64MP effort. Battery size is the same for all-day play, while the guaranteed three years of OS and security updates is a big win.

So while this isn't one of my favourite budget 5G phones of 2021, it's a solid choice for anyone after a stock Android experience. Motorola's Moto G50 is a cheaper alternative, although without those guaranteed updates.
