Case and features - Pretty plastic back cover

The Nokia T10's 8-inch format is perfectly suited for small children's hands, but you can also get the device with LTE on request and use it as a navigation system or on business trips.

It is a real all-rounder that only has a plastic back, but it is a chic dark green with a striped pattern. Although it looks good, you will notice that the stability is only average: The tablet cracks quietly under strong pressure or twisting and image errors become visible on the liquid crystal display.

There are definitely lighter and handier tablets than the Nokia T10, the Lenovo Tab M8 for example, weighs 70 grams (~2.8 oz) less.

The Wi-Fi version only has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of mass storage. The LTE version is also available with 4 GB / 64 GB. The limited storage can be expanded via microSD card. In our test with the Angelbird V60 reference card, the reader proves to be very fast overall, but there are also strong drops in the read rate from time to time.

The phone has a second-screen function that allows connecting the tablet to the PC via Wi-Fi and thus gets an additional screen with a touch function. Unfortunately, NFC is not available, so mobile payment services cannot be used.

Communication, software and operation - the update promise is convincing

WiFi 5 is the fastest WLAN standard in Nokia's T10. The device is a bit slower than comparable devices in our test with the reference router Asus ROG Rapture AXE11000, but the transfer rates are still very stable.

Android 12 is preinstalled on the tablet, Nokia promises 3 years of monthly security updates and 2 major system updates. In fact, there are many updates at our test time. It is a bit annoying that you have to install all of them individually and Nokia does not simply combine all older updates. Thanks to Google Kids Space, the tablet can be configured for the little ones so that they can only use it for a certain time and harmful content is blocked.

The system can be operated very smoothly; we did not notice any stutters when browsing through the menus. However, the tablet needs a complete restart every now and then after it has been running for a long time because it cannot be operated flawlessly anymore.

Nokia's T10 does not have a fingerprint sensor, but the tablet can be unlocked biometrically via face. This works via the front-facing camera without additional hardware and is thus not quite as secure. Unlocking works well in everyday use. The screen's brightness is usually sufficient for accurate and fast recognition even in complete darkness.

Cameras - Cheap tablet standard

Recording front camera
Recording front camera

You have to make do with a simple 8-megapixel camera on the back. It does not take very detailed snapshots, but can at least offer reasonably sharp photos. The picture quality is rather mediocre in very low light and high contrasts, especially the sharpness drops significantly, but the brightening works quite well.

In the lab, nothing more can be recognized in the pictures at 1 lux illuminance. In good studio lighting, on the other hand, the test chart looks unclean, and text in front of a colored background is partly illegible.

Videos are possible in 1080p and 30 fps. The autofocus works decently fast and the brightness adjustment also works well. The overall picture quality is average, and we would recommend the camera more for videos than pictures.

A small 2-megapixel selfie camera is located on the front above the screen. However, it only takes quite washed-out and dark pictures even in good lighting conditions.

Display - No PWM in the Nokia T10

Subpixel recording
Subpixel recording

Nokia specifies a brightness of 400 cd/m² for the IPS screen with a typical resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. According to our measurements with the spectrophotometer, the manufacturer has rather understated this: We measured 429 cd/m² on average, which puts the screen of Nokia's T10 on a very high level in comparison.

Glaring sunlight might still make it difficult to read outdoors, but at least you do not have to flee into the shade on cloudy days to be able to read the screen. The illumination is also very even, so there are no visible brightness differences on the screen.

Less impressive is the high black value, which also results in a moderate contrast ratio and thus flat colors. A slight blue cast is visible in our measurements with the CalMAN software, and bright blue tones are also rendered quite inaccurately.

We did not measure PWM flickering, so the display is also suitable for sensitive users.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
32.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14.1 ms rise
↘ 18.1 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 86 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
39.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19.1 ms rise
↘ 20.7 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 57 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance, emissions and battery life - Enough power for everyday use

The Unisoc T606 as SoC proves to be a good choice for Nokia. It is older, but still offers considerably more performance than the MediaTek P22T SoCs that are often used in this class. Thus, the Nokia T10 proves to be much more responsive and fluid in everyday use. It is not suitable for very complex apps, but at least it offers a bit more performance reserves than comparable devices.

The memory controller also does a very good job and gets relatively fast transfer rates out of the slow eMMC flash.

The maximum temperature of 36.4 °C (~98 °F) on the casing is average under extended load and covers only a small area. The SoC only shows very slight performance losses during longer load, as the 3DMark stress test proves.

The Nokia T10 comes with stereo speakers that do not get that loud, but present the listener with a fairly balanced sound. The sound gets even better via headphones or external speakers that can be connected via a 3.5 mm jack or Bluetooth. aptX, aptX HD, SBC, AAC and LDAC are the codecs that can be used for the wireless audio connection.

The Nokia T10 runs for 984 minutes or 16:24 hours in our WLAN test. That is a good result, but we could have expected more in view of the ample 5,250 mAh battery. It is definitely enough for one day of continuous use, and several days are possible when the tablet is only used for occasional surfing.

In review: Nokia T10. Test device provided by Nokia Germany.
In review: Nokia T10. Test device provided by Nokia Germany.

The Nokia T10 is a handy tablet and thus well suited for younger users. The pure Android is fun to use and the bright screen makes use in brighter environments possible. The long runtimes also allow use outside the home and the powerful SoC makes smooth operation possible.

The cameras are on par with other inexpensive tablets, so you should use them for snapshots at most. Untypical for such an inexpensive device is the update promise, which has been kept quite well with 1-2 monthly security updates so far.

The Wi-Fi module could be a bit faster, and there are certainly lighter 8-inch tablets with higher-quality metal chassis, but Nokia manages a well-rounded overall package.

If you are looking for a handy tablet with long runtimes, you will get a good device in Nokia's T10. You can even get it with a subscription if you want.

The Lenovo Tab M8 is lighter and the LTE version of the tablet can even be used for phone calls. You can save money with the Amazon Fire HD 8, but you have to accept the low performance and the limited software.

Price and availability

At the time of testing, the Nokia T10 is available for 169 Euros (~$186) directly from the manufacturer but you can also subscribe to it for 12 Euros (~$13) per month. Those who prefer amazon.de can also order the WiFi version of the tablet for around 170 Euros (~$187).

The LTE version is available at cyberport.de for 206 Euros (~$227).
