Key specs
Critic consensus
“All things considered, the Nokia X30 isn't exactly worthy of a raving recommendation, but it just about qualifies for a 'conditional' one - at the right price and after careful weighing of the pros and cons.”
“The Nokia X30 5G is a decent mid-range smartphone that does a few things better than its predecessor. In contrast to the Nokia X20, it has a bright AMOLED display, a refresh rate of 90 Hz and a slightly snappier SoC. However, some features have also been omitted, such as the microSD slot and the 3.5 mm jack. The X30 5G holds its ground well in the highly competitive mid-range and scores with a solid spec sheet, but ultimately does not offer a real unique selling point.”
“HMD Global's newest Nokia is its best phone in years — but that's not saying much. It's a good phone, but not the special one HMD needed.”
“The Nokia X30 5G is a really good-looking midranger. It’s also slim, lightweight and compact, and comes with the promise of 3 full years of major software and security updates. Sadly, it’s still a midranger, hampered by its mediocre chipset (the lack of 4K recording hurts), and also weighed down by its hefty price. The display tops out at 90Hz (when it decides to), and there are little to no reasons for people to opt for the Nokia when there are so many good options in this price range.”
