The thing with these two is that they are very close in terms of pros and cons wich makes the choice preety complicated.... Right now i'm more inclined to buy the pixel because of the camera and longevity but i'm a little bit sad to leave nokia behind, but i'm pretty shure i'll be back.

The Pixel camera is also better for point-and-shoot, and you also get 'Pixel Experience' features although the software experience will otherwise be similar.
The X30 has better build quality and materials, including Gorilla Glass Victus display vs GG3 on the Pixel. The X30 also has 90hz display refresh rate and 33W charging Vs 18W on the Pixel. An underlooked feature of the X30 is excellent face unlock, even in low light.
I do see relatively frequent complaints about the battery life, heat management and modems on the Pixel 6 devices as the chipset is based on Samsung's Exynos, so I'm not sure if Google were able to resolve these issues.
I don't think I could easily recommend one device over the other, for long term the Pixel will get an extra year of security updates which might make the difference for you.
Some camera samples from the X30 can be found here: https://www.flickr.com/search/?sort=date-taken-desc&safe_search=1&tags=nokiax30&user_id=187939902%40N04&view_all=1
I would warn that the X30 has very aggressive HDR processing in auto mode which puts me off recommending it more wholeheartedly.

Also Nokia customer care aren't that friendly.
Therefore if you are planning to buy the phone you need to be extremely patient with the Nokia support team when you encounter a serious problem.

What is your opinion on the google camera comparing to the nokia 7 plus??? (In my opinion the nokia camera was realy good.) Is it coping well with the daily use??? I kept my nokia 7 plus for 5-6 years so my goal is to do the same with the next one, unless nokia launches a new one that i love more than the google one. My nokia was water damaged with sea salt water, the screen was replaced a couple years ago so the protection it had against water is not there anymore... i really loved my nokia 7 plus... it was almost brand new in terms of exterior and it was still smooth to use , its a shame really...

Nokia fan, 06 Aug 2023What if I don't have the device to review because of f... moreAnother thing you can do is narrow down the subject matter of your blog, like reviewing a specific brand only, like Nokia for instance, since you call yourself a Nokia fan. That way you will have to buy less phones, only every phone that Nokia releases. Yes, you will have less audience that way, but if you do things right you may get yourself a bunch of dedicated Nokia followers. Then, after you get a sure footing and improve your finances, slowly add a second brand, like Sony for example. The competition in tech review blogging is as tough as the competition of the phone brands, that is why you may need to be different and carve yourself a niche. If there are lesser number of reviews for Nokia, Sony and HTC you need to go there instead of getting lost amongst reviews of numerous Chinese brands. Hope that helps.

Im looking for a new phone to replace my nokia 7 plus that stopped working after 5-6 years of use. Im between the nokia x30 and the google pixel 6a, both for 350€. I take a lot of photos so that is important for me as well as durability, i want to keep the phone for another 5 years or more. In terms of use i dont play games, so its just youtube, social media and google. Which one would you buy???

That would be pretty much the only thing i could think of. Well nobody said, it is easy😏. Probably, there are other better ways but i do not know them.

Nokia doesn't sell X30, G42, G60 in Vietnam. They leave Vietnam with cheap phones (G22, C32...), with Unisoc chip. Very disappointed.
