The Nokia X30 5G is an eco-friendly smartphone that the Finnish brand is now offering on a rental basis. The Nokia X30 5G is yet another sustainability-oriented phone from Nokia. This environmentally-friendly smartphone is Nokia’s most sustainable product thus far.

The Nokia X30 5G has some of its components like its case and packaging, made from recycled material. It has a 6.43-inch display and its sustainability profile is further enhanced with its subscription-based use. The mid-ranger is sold starting at around $520 but can be rented for $25 a month. The rental service also includes replacement if the device is lost or damaged accidentally. The rental service does not have a fixed term but customers need to observe a three-month cancellation period. In keeping with its sustainability credentials, Nokia says old devices could either be recycled or donated to charitable causes.

The Nokia X30 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 695 5G chipset while its AMOLED screen can achieve up to 700 nits of brightness. The RAM/ storage configuration of the smartphone is 8GB/ 256GB. The X30 5G comes with a smaller display than its predecessor, the Nokia X20, but it is lighter and more powerful. The X30 5G has a 4200mAh battery which is smaller than the 4470mAh of the X20. However, it is expected that the X30 5G can compete squarely with some other brands with up to 5000mAh batteries.

The frame of the Nokia X30 5G is made from recycled aluminum, its case is 65% recycled plastic while the packaging is about 70% recycled paper. Nokia does not include a charger in the package to minimize emissions and e-waste.
