Nokia Protective Case Compatible with Nokia T20 Tablet, Rugged Shockproof Design, Raised Edges for Drop and Scratch Protection, Easy Grip Tablet Cover, Dark Blue

Product Information

We like what Nokia has done with the design and the screen here, and it's a credit to HMD Global that the tablet looks more expensive than it actually is. Under the hood though the specs aren't great – you'll be fine doing the basics, but not much more than that, and the device is notably slower than the premium models on the market at the moment.

That’s not all: the Nokia T20 has a large 8,200mAh battery with a quoted 15-hour battery life, as well as a 5MP (f/2.4) selfie camera on the front and an 8MP camera at the rear. And, unlike the Fire HD 10, there’s also an option for 4G connectivity if you’re willing to pay a little bit more on top of the base price. Nokia T20 review: Price and competition Performance-wise, the Nokia T20 is unremarkable. Due to the restrictive nature of Fire OS, I’m unable to directly compare Geekbench performance between the T20 and Fire HD 10 Plus, but the Geekbench 5 graph below offers an indication of how it compares against the (much pricier and faster) ninth-gen iPad. The Nokia T20 uses an octa-core 1.8GHz Unisoc T610 chipset for processing duties, and this is paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC flash storage, which can also be expanded by up to a further 512GB if you insert a microSD card. You don't get anything above the standard (60Hz) refresh rate, you don't get any cool innovations like mini-LED, and you don't get a particularly high pixels-per-inch density at 224ppi.Perhaps the biggest compliment we can pay to the design of the Nokia T20 tablet is that it looks more expensive than it actually is. Nokia's T20 is the company's (re-)entry into the tablet market. The chic metal casing with IP52 certification and the large battery are the highlights, but the unusual SoC also performs well overall. The stereo speakers fitted to the tablet are perfectly capable and actually probably a bit more than that – they can produce a decent amount of volume and are fine for watching movies and listening to podcasts. At a push, they'll do for a tune or two as well. Obviously they're not the last word in distortion-free audio fidelity, but considering the price you're paying, they're a feature that HMD Global has managed well. Under the hood of the Nokia T20 we've got a Unisoc T610 processor, and our review unit came with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage (a model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is also available in certain markets). Nokia does not do things by halves concerning the battery and installs a massive battery with 8,200 mAh. Nokia's T20 lasted 17:23 hours in our WLAN test and left the competition behind. Thus, two days of use without charging should be possible without any problems. The tablet needs to be plugged in even less often when used sparingly.

On the downside, Android has never really been great on tablets, and that continues to be the case: Google doesn't really do much to tweak the software for a bigger screen, and nor do app developers (there are some exceptions, including Gmail and Spotify). It's not a disaster, but it's not iPadOS.As for the cameras, you're not the sort of person who takes photos with a tablet are you? Oh you are? Well in that case the Nokia T20 features a single-lens 8MP rear camera that takes some of the grainiest and most washed out photos we've seen in a while – seriously, you do not want to be shooting a lot of images with this. In low light the performance of the camera is even worse, and this is obviously an area where costs have been cut. There's life in the old dog yet: While Samsung and Apple divided the tablet market among themselves, it became less and less interesting for other manufacturers due to the long lifespan of the devices. But in times of home offices, home schooling and video conferencing, tablets are experiencing an unexpected revival. Nokia is now also launching its first tablet in a long time, the T20.
