Reviews for the Nokia X100

80% Nokia X100 review: A budget phone that compromises in the right ways
Source: Android Central English
As an affordable 5G handset for T-Mobile customers, the Nokia X100 stands its ground against all the other current options. Visual and audio quality go beyond what you'd expect in a $250 phone, while the battery life should easily last you through the day and night. It falls short in the same areas as most budget phones — but its lack of future updates is its Achilles' heel.

The Nokia X100 smartphone is an affordable version of the Nokia X10, which expect to come at $250 (Rs 18,999 in India) approx. It equips a tall aspect 6.67-inches IPS LCD panel that renders decent colors and pixel density. Along with this, you will receive the coring gorilla glass 3 protection on the screen, while the hardware section includes an 8nm – Qualcomm SM4350 Snapdragon 480 5G chipset. This chipset also offers the Adreno 619 GPU for gaming. As for the software layering, you are getting the Android 11 stock interface with a bloatware-free UI experience. On the other hand, you will attain a quad-camera setup including the 48MP primary camera, 5MP ultra-wide, 2MP depth, and 2MP macro lens. With this setup, you can record videos with ease, while the makers also provide a 16MP selfie camera. In terms of battery life, the phone offers a Li-Po 4470 mAh battery capacity with an 18W charging speed. On top of that, you can purchase this phone at the Midnight Blue color option.

70% Nokia X100

The Nokia X100 is capable of handling most common tasks and can easily last a least a day with heavy use. Solid sub-6GHz 5G connectivity makes it a decent option for Metro and T-Mobile, especially if you can get it for free through a carrier promotion. But we wish Nokia would commit to providing more software updates for the phone, and its display, although sharp, could be brighter. As such, the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G remains our top pick in this price range. It works on every carrier, has a little more processing power, takes better pictures, and will receive more software updates. If you're looking for a phone less than $300, it's our Editors' Choice.

If you’re a T-Mobile customer in search of a budget-friendly 5G device, the Nokia X100 is a solid option. It packs quite a few Nokia trademarks, and it’s geared to keep up with your favorite shows and social media accounts. The software update situation is a little galling considering the Nokia catchphrase of “Love it, Trust it, Keep it,” but the overall camera experience and the large 6.67-inch display punch above its price tag. The X100 is a classic Nokia design, with plenty of updated specs at just over $250. Those of you looking for another affordable T-Mobile option can look no further than the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G ($282). It swaps Gorilla Glass 3 for Gorilla Glass 5, with a classy design that looks more like glass than plastic. You also get a full 5,000mAh battery for your money. The best budget alternative is the OnePlus Nord N200 ($216). It’s one of the cheapest 5G devices around and has the light Oxygen OS skin on top.

Nokia X100 Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Nokia X100 is a tit-for-tat phone compared to the competition as it brings robust features that you cannot see in the affordable 5G segment phone. Aside from the processing power, everything looks great on this phone as it brings impressive camera features, a long battery life, and a few more features. However, that doesn’t mean the phone was flawless. It shines where its immersive appeal is seen, but at the same time, there’s the downside of the phone. It includes average videography, standard display quality, and a list that can go on and on. In short, the phone falls into the moderate category. If you are looking for an alternative option, you can also check out the Motorola Moto G51 smartphone.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish company founded in 1865 and headquartered in Finland. 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.


73.33%: 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.
