Deciding to review the Nokia T20 Android tablet was an easy one. Especially since it’s the first such tablet built by HMD Global under this branding. But this is one tablet that certainly doesn’t feel at all like a first-try effort.
Not only did HMD Global embed a 10.4-inch, blue-light-reducing, 2K display in a metal frame for this build. It ensured that nearly every other aspect of the device lived up to the expectations set by that panel. So let’s dive right in and take a closer look at how this tablet outperformed the vast majority of the competition under a thorough review.
Nokia T20 is budget hardware that un-budgets the hardware
Nokia T20 doesn’t look or, more importantly, feel like a budget tablet under any definition
Before we delve too deeply into the Nokia T20 for this review, it’s worth pointing out that this tablet is built from aluminum. Aside from the glass panel covering the display, that is. And that’s not too different from at least some high percentage of tablets it is competing with. But the metal here just feels like more consideration was paid during the design phase.
Not only does the metal have a matte appearance under the right lighting and a high-sheen aesthetic in other conditions. Lending to a premium look accented by smooth curves and a slim built. It also has a matte feel. And that means that this tablet is great to hold and use from an experience standpoint. Much more so than the tablets it competes with on price.
The lightweight design and placement of ports and plugs take things further still. Even using this tablet in bed wasn’t a chore, since it only weighs around 470g. A little over twice what premium smartphones weigh. And both the placement and smooth edges of the ports and plugs ensure that there are no snagging or uncomfortable places to hold.
Similarly, the corner placement for the 3.5mm port, speaker placement, and button placement all ensure that none of those get in the way during use. Although the power plug is placed directly in the center on the right-hand edge. So using during charging isn’t as enjoyable as it might otherwise be.
More important than the in-hand feel, the build quality is top-notch with the Nokia T20. It doesn’t feel as flimsy or fragile as the overwhelming majority of competing devices do. And the company sells two rugged cases, one with a kickstand and one without, for those that will let the whole family use this tablet. Or for those who are prone to breaking screens and frames.
All of the ports feel equally well-made. Without any wiggle, even with jostling. The tablet’s IP52 rating, meanwhile, protects against light splashes or rain and dust.
The Nokia T20 display truly stands out among its peers, especially for the price
With a 2K resolution, you’ll quickly forget how little you paid for Nokia T20, even under bright outdoor lighting
The headlining feature for this tablet is, of course, the leading feature for good reason. And not just because it’s a 2K resolution. For starters, while it only has a 78.94-percent screen-to-body ratio, that allows space for gripping the tablet. Conversely, this is an IPS LCD panel instead of an OLED. So the dark hues aren’t quite as deep as they could be, although it …….
