I bought this phone in June '21 as a replacement for my Pixel 3XL which was running out of service patches in October.
Having being used to flagship phones I was pleasantly surprised with this phone. It looks great (IMHO!) and is nice solid feeling device. It has a large screen which makes it easy to use but I guess can be handful for those with smaller hands.
The phone is responsive enough although does have the odd stutter now and again when scrolling around etc - nothing hugely noticeable unless you are coming from a flagship phone.
Camera(s) are adequate - although again coming from a Pixel 3XL not quite up to that spec but well good enough TBH. Also has some nice additions to the camera like wide mode, and duo camera support so you can have for example front and rear camera recording into the same video which is great for narrating a video for example. Also has things like auto watermarking photos etc. So whilst the images aren't quite as good as a flagship it makes up for with a little more creativity options!
The other great thing about this phone is that it is almost pure Android with absolutely no bloat on it. Also you get three years worth of security and OS patches! The OS updates are swift to getting Android 12 a couple of months after release to Pixel devices.
Slight niggle is the Google button on the left hand side which gets caught to easy. Although easy to disable so no great problems just a shame that it seems wasted really.
Worth a look - especially at the price it is being offered at. A good, solid well designed and engineered phone.

I had high hopes for this phone as it was highly recommended for its camera but reality is a different matter. It's a big phone and trying to hold and open it with your left hand causes problems with the useless Google button on the left hand side. I've had to disable it as it kept opening when touched. The camera is fairly good under normal use but has limited manual functions. Taking photos at night result in blurry, grainy shots that wouldn't be out of place on a cheaper phone. Not worth the time, look at better alternatives.

The sound quality is awful. Everything else is good. Why this phone doesn't support important music formats like aptx, aptx hd, LDAC...? All formats are greyed out for me, means it doesn't support.

The screen is amazing, very sharp and colour accurate. Personally I prefer LCD over OLED so I am glad they gone for LCD.

The x20 fingerprint is pretty fast, no issues there... with android 12 my wife also had no problems till now, well, she's using it only for about 4 days now. I set up the device and to tell you the truth, i was impressed by the performance of the 480 CPU, i did not expect that. Of course is Not flagship level, but it ain't bad at all, i knew it was good, but did not expected it to be this performant.

Thanks for the advice. I have thought about it and came to the conclusion to order the X20. Also because it's not that bulky as the XR20. It's still big but not as big and hefty. I am from NL so I do not know when my package will arrive not sure it even arrives before new year because it's extremely busy with packages now because of the lockdown everyone is buying stuff online. I bought it from belsimpel website and the reviews are very very positive. So I am sure it's a good buy.

I don't know where you live, but here the price difference between the X20 and the XR20 is about 120€, which makes the XR20 unappealing to me since that's almost 50% extra.
The X20 also has more memory (XR20 tops out at 6GB vs 8GB on the X20) and much better cameras (especially the selfie camera, 32MP vs 8MP).
On the other hand, the XR20 has a somewhat brighter screen (550 nits vs 450 nits) and can be charged wirelessly.
It also comes with wider GPS options and USB-C 3.0 instead of 2.0 and slightly more modern Bluetooth (5.1 vs 5.0), but I wouldn't consider any of those some dealbreaker. USB 3.0 is nice however if you have lots of data to transfer between your phone and your computer, so this one could be useful to you in that specific scenario.

Was using Nokia 7.1 from the last three years.
But the only thing I miss when compared to Nokia 7.1 is the Pure Display Technology.

My Nokia 6.1 is due for replacement and I am considering the X20, or the XR20. Don't necessarily need the ruggedness but it looks pretty cool. The X20 is cheaper, so I am still in doubt let's say X20 60% and XR20 40%. Which one would you choose? Also I am only going for a Nokia phone. It's the only brand I buy. Thanks in advance.
