HMD Global renewed its whole lineup of smartphones and decided to go for three series of phones: the C series with the most affordable ones, the G series which is the intermediate one, and the X series which is the most advanced series. Despite being the most expensive lineup, the X series is still composed of affordable phones. The newly-announced handsets are Nokia X10 and X20. If you are wondering what are the differences between their specifications, you are in the right place. Here is a specs comparison between Nokia X10 and X20 which will highlight their pros and cons.

Nokia X10 vs Nokia X20

Design

The Nokia X10 and the Nokia X20 have the same design. It consists of a punch-hole display with a hole placed in the middle and a rear side made of polycarbonate with a circular camera module and a LED flash on the left. The two models differ in the color variants: the Nokia X10 is available in Forest and Snow hues, while the Nokia X20 was launched in two different color variants: Midnight Sun and Nordic Blue. Nokia X10 and Nokia X20 come with a side-mounted fingerprint reader doubling as a power key placed on the right side. Both the phones are pretty heavy and thick (they weigh more than 200 grams) because they pack big batteries.

Display

Not only the same design: the Nokia X10 and the Nokia X20 also come with the same display. It is an IPS LCD panel with a 450 nit typical brightness, a diagonal of 6.67 inches, and a Full HD+ resolution with 1080 x 2400 pixels. It is not a wonderful display, but it is acceptable for everyone due to its good level of definition. We are talking about IPS panels, so you do not get an amazing color reproduction, but at least they are both more than sufficient panels.

Specs & Software

Nokia X10 and Nokia X20 are powered by the Snapdragon 480 mobile platform supporting 5G connectivity. The processor is the same, but the memory configurations are different. With the Nokia X10, you get three memory configurations: 6/64 GB, 4/128 GB, and 6/128 GB. The Nokia X20 comes in a configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage and a higher-end one with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The phones run Android 11

Camera

The most important differences between the Nokia X10 and the Nokia X20 are in the camera department. We are specifically talking about the main sensor of the quad camera placed on the rear side. The Nokia X10 has an inferior 48 MP camera, while the Nokia X20 has a definitely better 64 MP sensor. The phones offer a pretty nice photo quality if compared to the price tag, not only for the sensors but especially because of the Carl Zeiss optics. The front cameras are different too: the Nokia X10 has a below-average 8 MP selfie snapper, while the Nokia X20 comes with an amazing 32 MP selfie camera.

Battery

While the camera departments are different, the batteries of these devices are the same. We are talking about a battery with a capacity of 4470 mAh supporting 18W fast charging. The battery life is great, they are not among the best battery phones but they last more than one day with moderate usage.

Price

Nokia X10 has a starting price tag of €310/$370 for the base variant with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while Nokia X20 starts from €350/$417 for the configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage. If we only consider the specifications, the price tags are a bit high. But you should not consider only that: the strongest point of these phones is the software support. Nokia X10 and X20 will get three years of major Android updates, three years of security updates, and even three years of warranty. Unlike other midrange phones, these devices will get software support comparable to the most expensive flagships released by brands like Google and Samsung. Obviously, the Nokia X20 wins the comparison thanks to its better cameras, but if you do not mind having the best camera quality, you will get exactly the same user experience with the Nokia X10 and you will save money at the same time.

  • realme has already confirmed that it will launch a 5G version of the realme 8 and a budget-friendly realme 8i in India. Out of this, the realme 8 5G has already stopped at FCC certification.
  • However, this launch might skipped to next month as well so take this with a pinch of salt.

• Vivo V21 series

  • Vivo V21 series was rumored to come before in India but that hasn’t happened yet. The company had other ideas and brought a flagship X60 series to the country. However, it could soon launch one of the supposed members of the V21 series- Vivo V21 SE.
  • Reports reveal that it could be a rebadged version of the iQOO U3 which means it could come with a Dimensity 800U chipset with 5G support. Let’s hope that Vivo doesn’t skip any further.

• Oppo A74 4G & 5G, A94 & A54 5G

  • OPPO is said to bring the remaining devices of the OPPO Axx series and it might happen this month. The company has already unveiled the OPPO A54 4G version already. Next in line could be the OPPO A74, A54, and A94 5G models.
  • The OPPO A74 4G is said to come in certain markets as rebranded OPPO F19 while the 5G version could have Snapdragon 480 chipset.
  • On the other hand, the OPPO A94 5G could be the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G for Europe whereas OPPO A54 5G is said to be a rebadged version of OPPO A93 5G.

• Huawei P50 series

  • When it comes to Huawei, things haven’t been so smooth lately. The company is struggling a lot to gather the supply chain after the US ban and it is hitting them hard. Previously rumored to come this month, the launch of the Huawei P50 series looks to be a far cry for now.
  • However, anything can happen in between so let’s hope that Huawei turns tables to come back stronger.

These are the confirmed/expected smartphone launches for the month of April. We hope you enjoyed reading it and as always please share your feedback in the comments below. It really helps us improve our future articles.

The post Upcoming Smartphones in April 2021: Redmi, Samsung, OPPO, Nokia, Sony, & more appeared first on Gizmochina.

HMD Global has already announced a launch event on April 8. Here, the company is expected to several smartphones like the Nokia G10, G20, X10, X20. Now, a report by nokiapoweruser.com says that the Nokia C20 might join the list of devices for the day.

As per the report, Nokia C20 will be available in 1GB RAM and 16GB internal storage variant. The last time Nokia launched a 1GB RAM phone, it was the Nokia 1.4 from February 2021.

Given Nokia’s recent change of naming conventions like the G-series, it is possible that the Nokia C20 might either replace the Nokia 1.xx lineup or be the successor of the C-series of devices from 2020.

Mind you, we have a device named Nokia C1 Plus from Dec. 2020 with 2GB RAM and Nokia C3 from August 2020 with a 3GB RAM variant so it’s really unclear what Nokia C20 is going to succeed at this point.

Anyway, the Nokia C20 is expected to launch in two colors – Blue and Sand options. It is also expected to run Android 11 Go edition and the HTML5 test page shows that it’s running Android 11.  Lastly, the device is likely to be priced around 89 euros(~$106).

Looking at multiple news about HMD Global lately, I think that they are finally addressing the issue of the confusing naming scheme of their devices. However, naming isn’t everything as the internals and pricing play a major role in the company’s sales charts.

I just hope that HMD Global renovates itself in 2021 and launches phones with good price-to-performance ratios and not end up like last year.

The post Nokia C20 might accompany X & G-series devices at HMD Global’s April 8 event appeared first on Gizmochina.

In January, a mysterious Nokia phone labelled as Quick Silver was spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking platform. Fresh information shared by Nokia Power User reveals that this device could be launching soon with the Nokia X20 moniker. This handset will be accompanied by another device named the Nokia X10. The publication has shared the key specifications of the Nokia X10 and X20 smartphones.

The publication claimed that the Nokia X10 smartphone is codenamed as Scarlet Witch. The X10 and X20 smartphones are both expected to feature the 5G-ready Snapdragon 480 mobile platform. The X10 will come with 6 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, which sounds a bit strange. It will be available in colors like White and Green.

On the other side, the Nokia X20 will be a higher model as it will come with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. This model will come in colors like Blue and Sand. The X10 could be priced at 300 euros (~$359), whereas the X20 may cost 349 euros (~$417).

HMD Global recently confirmed that it will be holding a launch event on April 8. There are speculations that the company may use the platform to announce the Nokia G10 handset. The same event could be used to announce the Nokia X10 and X20 smartphones. The Nokia G10 is expected to arrive with a 6.4-inch display, an octa-core processor, and a quad-camera system led by a 48-megapixel lens.

In related news, HMD Global is also said to be working on a successor for the Nokia 8.3 5G. This device is expected to arrive with a 6.5-inch QHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate support, the upcoming Snapdragon 775G chipset, a 5,000mAh battery, and a 108-megapixel penta-lens camera system.
