Nokia X30 5G
The Nokia X30 5G is a new midrange, with a great value proposition, especially considering it is 5G ready. It packs a very fast Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, a huge 6.43-inch 90Hz AMOLED screen, a great 50MP camera, a huge 4200 mAh battery, 33W fast charging, and an optical under-display fingerprint scanner. At its price, it’s truly a great bargain.
Design
The Nokia X30 5G comes with a 6.43-inch 90Hz AMOLED screen with a punch-hole design for the selfie camera. It’s comfortable to hold with the rounded edges, with a screen-to-body ratio of 85.0% It has a refresh rate of 120Hz refresh rate, an aspect ratio of 20:9, and supports HD10+ which makes it an absolute delight to consume media with. It has an aluminum frame and plastic back, and a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus front panel. It is quite bright and vivid, peaking at 450 nits. It’s rated for IP67 dust and splash protection, which makes it waterproof for 30 mins in 1.5m of water. It has a fast optical fingerprint sensor, conveniently placed under the screen. It supports a headphone jack & loudspeaker, which is great for playing media.
Performance
The Nokia X30 5G comes with the midrange Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, making it very fast and great for gaming. It has a Kyro Octa-core 2.2 GHz CPU paired with a Adreno 619 GPU, with storage options of 6 or 8 GB for RAM & 128 or 256 GB for ROM. It however does not come with an expandable memory option. Paired with the 120Hz screen, running the latest stock Android 12, the performance feels very fast and premium. It also means it has minimal bloatware and updates are always timely. Everything feels fast, fluid, and rich in color.
Cameras
The Nokia X30 5G has a triple camera arrangement on the back. It comes with a huge 50 MP primary sensor, for those excellent daylight photos. It also has a 13MP ultra-wide lens for landscape & group photos. The video can support up to 1080p video at 30 fps, with HDR support & gyro-EIS stability assistance. The selfie camera is a decent 16MP wide sensor, capable of 1080p video at 30fps. The selfies are great and well-lit.
Other features
The Nokia X30 5G comes with 33W fast charging, getting fully charged in 40 mins. That’s fairly usable. That is in addition to the fact that it also comes with a Li-Po 4200mAh non-removable battery, which is rather generous. Even with the high refresh rate screen, this should be more than enough. The main concession would be that there is no wireless charging here. It supports NFC for contactless paying. It comes in Blue & White.
Similarly, priced phones would include Samsung Galaxy A73, Xiaomi 12 Lite, Google Pixel 6A, and OnePlus Ace. the main distinctions at this price point is often a choice of a better camera or the AMOLED screen. The sizes are usually standard and the batteries are often huge. It’s rather conspicuous that it lacks wireless charging but the price is also very competitive.
The design is great and looks at par as many premium midranges in the market now. The OS is great, being stock Android so it’s not burdened with the bloatware that comes with custom skins.
