amazon Nokia X10 reviews
The Nokia X10, the first model in the complete new X-series officially released by Nokia, comes with 5G connectivity that is super-fast, a trendy exterior, and that unmistakable 48MP quad-camera set comprising ZEISS lenses and OZO audio capabilities. Additionally, the device will receive OS upgrades every month for three years and security patches.
Despite being an entirely new product line, the box for the Nokia X10 is styled just like any other recently released Nokia product. The box is made in a slightly square and flatform style, and it bears the image of the product very prominently on the front side. Nokia would also like to “show off” that the X10 will be in for three years of Android operating system updates.
Still, following the trend of protecting the environment, the accessories that come with the Nokia X10 do not miss anything. The phone comes complete with chargers, headphones, USB A to C connecting cables, cases. The unique aspect is with the running of the biodegradable materials made by Nokia in order to make this also an environmentally-friendly set: compostable plastic with 100% degradability into organic fertilizer, CO2, and water when conditions are right.
It is a soft, smooth, and nice-to-hold material case for the Nokia X10. Roughness on the surface is discernible, which feels a bit rough and has details of tiny pieces of paper. It is thin, light, however, fairly strong; there is no way this will add bulk or weight to the device.
With the X10, Nokia has basically gone through the same design style as its predecessors such as Nokia 8.3, Nokia 7.2, with the emerald-green color mesmerizing the beholder, slightly shifting hues when the device is tilted onto the side. The huge convex round camera cluster comes into focus slightly above the market with the logo of Zeiss in the middle, the logo representing a German lens company that has had a close working relationship with Nokia.
The device probably is a little thicker (9.1mm) and heavier (220g), but the sides of the back curved down very gently to join the frame, providing seamless connections without any point of stress, still feels quite comfortable to hold. Nokia continues the tradition of solid crafting, without even any looseness or creaking under pressure, ensuring a robust feel for both the chassis and case. The device is rated as IP52 against water and dust ingress, which would mean that light rain will not bother it-a relatively rare aspect in most smartphones today.
Notably, Nokia is silent on frame and back material, while observation shows no antennas lines on the frame, hence that too would suggest, quite probably made of plastic.
Similar to other recent smartphones, the high-performance fingerprint sensor on Nokia X10 has also been placed directly into the power button on the right side, responding rather accurately to commands, thus allowing unlocking the phone while it is placed on the table and without lifting it like a rear-mounted fingerprint.
Nokia retains a faithful layout for the dedicated hardware key on the left side that activates the Google virtual assistant. This is almost mandatory for Android One smartphones. The key can be switched off in settings to prevent accidentally hitting it in case there is no frequent use of Google Assistant.
The most-cramped region corresponds to the bottom edge, wherein all the important joints have been concentrated from USB-C, external speakers, and 3.5mm audio jack.
The front of the Nokia X10 features the display with a mole in the center, but the borders seem to be pretty thick, especially around the chin where the company’s logo sits. Due to the LCD screen, the famous phenomenon of darkness around the mole is given particular attention when it displays a white color.
The display is pretty big with a size of 6.67 inches, having an FHD + 1080×2400 pixels resolution, 20: 9 aspect ratio, Corning Gorilla Glass 3, with a maximum brightness of 450 nits and a 60Hz refresh rate. A quick touch gives a fair idea that the screen of Nokia X10 was admirably bright with clear vision of bright colors, wide viewing angles, and good contrast.
Another very evident fact about the Nokia X10 is its qualification for the Snapdragon 480 5G chipset designed specially for mass 5G device adoption, WiFi 6 compatibility consideration. The Nokia X10 can support 5G sub-networks with maximum download speeds of up to 2.5Gbps and maximum upload speeds of 660Mbps with Snapdragon 480.
Snapdragon 480 is manufactured on an 8nm process, has 8 cores (2 Cortex A76 2.0GHz + 6 Cortex A551.8 GHz cores), and an Adreno 619 GPU. Other specifications with the Nokia X10 include: 6GB RAM with 128GB internal memory; slot available; the microSD card slot lies together with the SIM 2 slot; the Nokia-X10 has a 4470mAh battery supporting 18W fast charge and USB Type C charging.
Fast measurements using popular benchmarking applications like AnTuTu, GeekBench, and GFX Bench show that Snapdragon 480 can be on par with MediaTek Helio G80 or Snapdragon 710. COD Mobile on the Nokia X10 can be played at High Graphics level, at max frame rate – an exhilaratingly smooth gaming experience.
Camera-wise, Nokia hosts a cluster of 4 cameras with a 48MP main camera integrated with ZEISS lens and OZO audio technology that promises to deliver a good quality of photography and recording experience in this price segment; the rest of the cameras are 5MP ultra-wide lens, 2MP macro camera, and 2MP depth camera; on the front is 8MP.
Supports a cinematic recording mode of 24 frames per second in a 21:9 aspect ratio with Full HD resolution, then merged with OZO spatial sound technology for better noise reduction. Noteworthy is that the device even supports RAW video recording in H-Log format for a wider light range that is more suitable for post-production color grading. Such this feature was inherited from previous flagship Nokia 8.3 5G series.
It also supports editing RAW H-Log videos directly on the phone, incorporates a diverse LUT color set into its internal system, and allows users to customize the inter-frame bitrate while capturing shots using various other settings, which include ISO and white balance settings and also provides focus, shutter speed, and exposure compensation options. The Nokia X10 has been described as supporting Full HD 60fps recording in normal video mode.
The device has a Dual-Sight feature to capture images from both the front and rear cameras side-by-side, provide a color correction mode, or customize photos taken with a watermark to enable tagging of images with the Nokia logo or hashtags of your choosing. Zeiss’s entire series of bokeh effects is included in the bundle to configure photos with customized backgrounds – erasing that place in the back into the shapes of stars, hearts, or replicating Zeiss lenses.
For software, Nokia X10 is based on Android 11 and promises three years of operating system upgrade and security updates for three and three years, respectively. It’s the same way with the pure Android interface–no altering or editing. The only pre-installed app is the Netflix app, doing so by sticking with the Google’s Android One program.
