Reviews for the Nokia X10
Sustainability is also important for the Nokia X10, which means that buyers get three years of Android updates and a compostable case. But can the mid-range phone also convince in everyday use?
Source: Expert Reviews
Producing a mid-range phone in 2021 that is not only technically good but that stands apart from the crowd is no mean feat. And despite Nokia’s best efforts with the X10, it doesn’t do quite enough to distance itself from the competition. The focus on sustainability is certainly to be commended, however. In an era when corporate social responsibility is still the exception rather than the norm, it allows Nokia a veneer of respectability it might not otherwise have had. But the phone itself has too many compromises to be an obvious recommendation. With a screen, battery and camera that are good enough it certainly isn’t bad, but the lack of a powerful chipset is an issue which will only become bigger with time, especially as other phones in this price bracket continue to improve.

The most attractive thing about the Nokia X10 is how it looks: there's a big display in a decent-size body with a finish that's pretty distinctive - and we like the 'Forest' green colour. Having a Full HD+ resolution means that content looks good, too, although it's strictly 60Hz refresh rate for this experience. There's ample power for day-to-day use and it will cope with more demanding games, although the graphics quality is limited, so it's not the best experience out there. The cameras are average in their performance but will suffice for many users. Battery performance is good overall, rounding a package that's capable enough. While updates have so far been slow, the promise of three years of Android updates adds further appeal. But while the overall experience is of a competent phone, it's just not hugely exciting one.

The most attractive thing about the Nokia X10 is how it looks: there's a big display in a decent sized phone and a finish that that's pretty unique - and we like the Forest colour. We obviously need to spend a lot of time testing the performance of this phone and evaluating the how that core hardware dictates the experience - while putting the camera through its paces too. Nokia might be feeling the squeeze in this position, however, with some notable rivals - but we'll bring you a full review as soon as we can.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

The company is known for its telecommunications equipment and cell phones. Nokia was one of the leading manufacturers of cell phones in the 1990s and has expanded its business into networking and technology solutions in recent years.
In 2011, Nokia partnered with Microsoft on Windows-based cell phones and sold the entire cell phone division to Microsoft in 2014, which limited the Nokia brand name to basic cell phones. In 2016, Finnish electronics manufacturer HMD Global entered into a licensing agreement with Nokia, bought the remaining Nokia name rights from Microsoft Mobile, and since 2017 has exclusively offered Nokia cell phones worldwide, which are based on Android, among other things, and are produced by Foxconn.
73.36%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
