Design and Build

The Nokia X30 5G is a small but strong phone with a new and unique design compared to the previous model. The sleek 6.43-inch display with a thinner and lighter body provides a comfortable and premium feel. Sporting an aluminum frame and a plastic rear, the device offers a robust build quality that doesn’t compromise aesthetics. The rear camera housing has been revamped, too, featuring a sleek rectangular design that blends seamlessly with the phone’s body. The Nokia X30 comes in two elegant finishes – Cloudy Blue and Ice White- each offering sophistication.

Display 

The Nokia X30 5 G’s 6.43-inch AMOLED display offers vivid colors and deep blacks, enhancing the viewing experience. Despite the size reduction, the screen provides a comfortable viewing experience, whether scrolling through social media or watching your favorite videos. With a maximum brightness of 750 units, the screen is more than capable of handling direct sunlight. The display feels smoother with the 90Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and animations more responsive.

Performance

The Nokia X30 5G significantly improved performance from its predecessor, thanks to the Snapdragon 695 processor. The processor is backed with 8GB/ 256GB of storage. Overall, the phone will ensure you don’t experience lags.

Cameras 

The Nokia X30 5G takes a quality-over-quantity approach to its cameras. The 50MP primary camera, despite having fewer megapixels than the X20, produces well-lit, detailed, and color-accurate images. Thanks to Nokia’s Night Mode 2.0 technology, the phone excels in low-light photography. The 16MP front-facing camera has well-exposed selfies and offers a range of features, including Portrait Mode and Night Mode. The video capability is also commendable, with 4K video recording at 30fps, providing decent video quality for the casual videographer.

Software 

Nokia continues to stick with a clean, near-stock Android experience in the X30 5G. The device ships with Android 12 and is part of the Android One program, ensuring regular security updates and OS upgrades for at least three years. This commitment to regular updates is a selling point, especially in the mid-range market where such guarantees are rare. The UI offers a good level of customization without overwhelming the user. The ability to tweak settings like accent colors and icon shapes allows users to personalize their devices significantly.

Battery Life

Another area that the Nokia X30 5G excels in is the battery level. The smartphone comes with a 4,500mAh battery. You can use it for at least 24 hours. The phone supports 18W fast charging.

Final Verdict

The Nokia X30 5G is a mid-range device that balances performance, design, and camera capabilities. Suppose you want a device with a clean software experience, solid performance, and regular updates. In that case, the Nokia X30 5G is a worthy choice.
