      AndroidAuthority, 28 Nov 2022Agreed, but how much software support would you get for $20... more2 major OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates in Redmi Note.

        Cmon Nokia. You can do it. You are closing the gap with samsung and other chinese phones. I'm sure your fututre phones will sell like breads. Just lower the price a bit.

          Minu, 29 Nov 2022This is the reason why I dislike every single phone brand n... moreExcept Sony. Only Sony still manages to be individually different than the rest of the field. We used to have LG before, but they have long gone now. I still miss them a lot.

            rizki1, 29 Nov 2022Xiaomi haters : MIUI is buggy, it have ads, short software ... moreNo phones with SD 695 can do 4K video regardless of brands. That is why I still keep using my Sony Xperia 10 iii. I still think SD 690 is way better than SD 695.

                rizki1, 29 Nov 2022Xiaomi haters : MIUI is buggy, it have ads, short software ... moreSamsung, if you still get one of those S20 FE 5g, that's better than most of the alternative mentioned in GSMArena

                  Xiaomi haters : MIUI is buggy, it have ads, short software support. Stock Android is better.
                  Nokia phones : this phone slow processor, no 4K, overpriced

                  what do you need?

                    I found out that the Nokia G60 has the same Snapdragon 695 SoC and three OS update policy but it does have a headphone jack and microSD card support. It may have IPS LCD screen instead of AMOLED like in the X30, but it has higher 120Hz refresh rate. So really, I'm struggling to pick the X30 over the more reasonable G60.

                      The phone is definitely a looker as it's probably the prettiest phone in its price bracket, it's build quality is top notch but so are others in its price bracket, Nokia's flavour of android is too vanilla for this price point to the point that it has no feature that makes it stand out and finally HMD really fumbled by putting the SD 695 on this phone as the chip is so underpowered (for its price), it's the reason behind the phone's underwhelming camera performance (the chipset doesn't support 4k Video recording). Hmd would have just put a Snapdragon 7 series chip on this phone and it would be a totally different story. HMD NEEDS TO STOP PUTTING UNDERPOWERED CHIPS IN THEIR HIGH END PHONES

                        Xenotyro, 28 Nov 2022I thought the team at gsmarena would be the first to notice... moreGood to know that the X30 has an infrared illuminator which allows the camera to better detect faces in low light. I think it's still a 2D facial recognition though.

                          Anders, 29 Nov 2022This review claims the Samsung A53 doesn't have a micr... moreP.s you also claim a lot but nothing makes sense, or is real, so don't accuse GSMaren for something as useless as an sd card in phones today. The use of one in devices with 128GB storage and over is only to slow them down i cannot see any other use for it, especially if you care about your files, then you for sure should store them in a better place then on a device that can get broken, stolen or lost. If you don't care, then the need of one is even less relevant, especially when the phone storage runns at UFS connections speeds.

                            Just more greenwashing from companies trying to milk the eco buzzwords.
                            Oh, you say you care about the environment? Why TF don't they allow users to unlock the bootloader to install custom ROMs when the company stops maintaining the software? Oh, that's right, they want you to shut up and buy a new one. What is the warranty about? Will they toss the faulty devices into the landfill and just give you a new unit? Will they component-level repair those and sell them as refurbs? Until that is made more clear, this is just greenwashing to me.

                              Android.Oreo, 28 Nov 2022Why does Nokia price their phones twice of what it should be? Because it is not.

                                David 040882, 28 Nov 2022Nobody's gonna pay $400-$500 just to get more software... moreYou don't say, tell me a 200€ device with the same quality and spexs? We let support out, because for you it does not matter if you buy 4 to 5 200€ crappvices in 4 to 5 years instead of 500€ one, quite a thinker there too.

Let's see, they offer 3 years warranty in most parts of the world, but the device is made to last less? While in a trolls mind that is genuine, because, well he needs it to sound bad. In the business perspective, it does not, as they will need to repair for free a lot of devices, so yeah. A smart company would really like to avoid that happening. And thats only the small part of all the trolling you bring to nokia comment sections, the rest of your gibberisch, is not even worth to be mentioned, as it is as lame, boring and ignorant as it can get

                                      The brand made mistakes and will probably still continue to do some, but to talk trash about it, ain't going to help. If you do not like what you see, buy a realme redme, dealme, adme. Suits you better.

More or less the Android version of Nokia 515 but it came out in a time where you could buy a quad core Android for the same price
