Nokia was undoubtedly the biggest name in the mobile phone industry but that has changed now. The Finnish company has not been able to earn a fortune with its smartphone segment. Unlike Samsung and Xiaomi, which have massive user bases, not so many people out there own a Nokia smartphone today. But if you belong to that rare group of users, we have some news for you. Nokia G20 has started receiving Android 12 Update.

It was recently reported that Nokia 2.4, and Nokia 8.3 5G have gotten their first taste of Android 12 and now it seems like Nokia G20 will also receive the latest android version. Nokiamob, citing screenshots from a G20 user, has reported that Nokia has started rolling out Android 12 to the Nokia G20. It is worth mentioning that this update is coming with the May security patch.

The update is reportedly available in Austria and comes packed with 1.97 GB of data. If you are a G20 user, go to the settings and check if the update is available. It will be displayed as V2.230.

The latest update brings a new privacy dashboard that provides a clear and comprehensive overview of when apps have accessed your location, camera, or microphone in the last 24 hours. It also carries certain accessibility improvements such as increased area, extra screen dimming, bold text, and grayscale. With the new update, G20 users will now be able to save their sensitive data in a Private safe.

The Nokia devices that have received the Android 12 update so far include: Nokia X20, Nokia XR20, Nokia G50, Nokia X10, Nokia 8.3 5G, Nokia 2.4, and Nokia G20. It is expected that Nokia 3.4, Nokia 5.4, Nokia T20, and all of the latest Unisoc devices are expected to receive the Android 12 update soon.

Yesterday, Google officially announced the Android 13 Beta program at the opening day keynote of the Google I/O 2022 conference. Just like the past few years, the search giant has partnered with multiple OEMs to enable developers to try out the upcoming version of Android.

Just like last year with the Android 12 Beta initiative, a total of 12 OEMs are part of the Android 13 Beta program. The only difference is that TCL has been replaced with Lenovo this time around.

Though most companies offer Android 13 Beta for a single device, there are some who provide builds for multiple products. Hence, the total number of eligible devices is actually 22, which happens to be 10 more than the OEMs involved.

Unsurprisingly, Google is the one with the most number of products, 8 Pixels smartphones to be precise. It is followed by Xiaomi with 3 devices comprising two smartphones and a tablet. Oppo is also offering builds for a smartphone and a foldable. Whereas, the remaining brands are limited to a single product.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the smartphones and tablets on which you can try Android 13.

HMD Global, the company behind Nokia-branded smartphones, was once known for faster update delivery. Unfortunately, it is no longer the case. Anyway, the firm’s Nokia X20 has now started receiving Android 12 stable update in multiple regions.

According to the official announcement post (via NokiaPowerUser) on Nokia Phones Community, HMD Global has begun to roll out Android 12 stable update for the Nokia X20 in the following regions as part of wave 1.

• Austria
• Belgium
• Croatia (Tele2, Vipnet)
• Denmark
• Egypt
• Estonia
• Finland
• Germany
• Hong Kong
• Hungary (Telenor HU)
• Iceland
• Iran
• Iraq
• Jordan
• Latvia
• Lebanon
• Lithuania
• Luxembourg
• Malaysia
• Netherlands (Tele2 NL, VF, T-Mobile)
• Norway
• Portugal
• Romania
• Slovakia (O2 – SK)
• Spain
• Sweden
• Switzerland

All users in the above-listed countries should receive the latest system update by December 17. The company will notify regarding the rollout of the update in other regions as part of wave 2 in the coming days.

The Nokia X20 was one of the few devices part of the Android 12 Beta program earlier this year. The device received its first Developer Preview between the end of August and early September.

This means it took HMD Global took over 3 months to deliver the stable update. The newly released software build arrives with build number V2.350 and weighs 2.18GB. Despite releasing in December, it comes bundled with November 2021 security patches.

After missing out on its own Android 11 rollout timeline, Nokia quickly learned from that event and has now expedited the update rollout process. Users expect things to be better, especially when Nokia devices are part of the Android One program. However, unlike last year, Nokia was among the first few OEMs to have enrolled in the Android 12 Developer Preview program back in May. Finally, Nokia has started to seed the first Android 12 Developer Preview for the Nokia X20, the enrolled device.

Nokia X20 is a recent addition to the company’s portfolio and was launched with Android 11. Good news for X20 users, as they will not have to wait any longer to taste the next big update. Nokia X20 users who opted in for the program can now head to the My Phone app, click on the Support banner, and scroll down to find “Android developer preview” to get the first build of Android 12. The app will first check if the IMEI is eligible and then prompt you to accept all the software license terms and conditions before rolling out the update.

The Android 12 build will release as an OTA within the next 12 hours but there’s always an option to have the build right away. Go to System > About Phone > System Updates to manually seek the update.

This obviously isn’t meant for everyone and may have bugs and issues, so Nokia has cautioned users to understand the repercussions before installing Android 12.

• Android 12 developer preview program builds (ADP) are early Android OS releases and are intended for application developers only – they are not recommended for general use.
• Although strenuously tested by our development team, the builds may exhibit performance and/or stability issues in some cases.
• Some applications downloaded from the Google Play Store may not be supported (either in full or in part) and may show signs of instability.
• Upgrading from Android 11 to the Android 12 developer preview program and rollback from the Android 12 developer preview program to the Official Android 11 build will result in loss of user data. As such, we recommended that you back up any user data to avoid loss.
• Online support is limited and may not be available to help users who experience difficulties with flashing the device.

The big iteration comes with a pre-installed feedback app that can be used to highlight bugs. But in case the update makes the phone go haywire, one can always request to roll back to Android 11 using the My Phone app.

Nokia has just launched a new mid range smartphone in Kenya. The new handset is the Nokia X20, which will be available in the region in a two storage variant but will arrive without a charger.

The news regarding the Finnish smartphone maker doesn’t arrives as a surprise considering the company did announce that it will not be shipping the smartphone with a charger in certain markets like Europe. Furthermore, it had also stated that the move is to reduce the electronic waste since many users already have chargers at home. Talking about the specs of the device, the Nokia X20 sports a 6.67 inch FHD+ display with a 32 megapixel punch ole selfie camera on the front.

On the rear, the handset features a 64 megapixel triple camera setup with a 2 megapixel macro lens and 2 megapixel depth sensor. Under the hood, it houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 SoC which is paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM along with 128GB of internal storage that can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot. It is powered by a large 4,470mAh battery pack that supports 18W charging through a USB Type C port.

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.

• 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.

Last week, a report revealed the existence of a Nokia phone named the Nokia X20. Later, it was spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking platform. Today, the smartphone emerged in the database of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It is speculated that HMD Global may announce the Nokia X20 smartphone through a launch event that is already set to take place on April 8.

The FCC documents reveal that the Nokia X20 (TA-1341 model number) smartphone measures 167mm diagonally, which indicates that it could be housing a display of around 6.2 inches. Since it is speculated to borrow its design from the Nokia 5.4, the handset may feature a punch-hole screen.

A schematic of the phone’s rear shell is also available in the FCC documents. It shows that the smartphone has a round-shaped camera housing. The handset does not feature a rear-facing fingerprint reader, which indicates that it could be incorporated with the power button. The FC listing has no other information on its specifications.

The Geekbench listing of the smartphone revealed that it will be equipped with Snapdragon 480 chipset, 6 GB of RAM, and Android 11 OS. The X20 is expected to offer users 128 GB of native storage, and it could be priced at 349 euros (~$412). The handset is likely to arrive in blue and sand colors.

The Nokia X10, which is expected to debut with X20 is also powered by the Snapdragon 480 chip and 6 GB of RAM. It could be priced at 299 euros (~$353) and it may come in white and green colors.

The post Nokia X20 FCC certified, likely to launch on April 8 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.
