Hey Chaps! Is 60hz LCD a deal breaker for you??

I already made a pre-order for the nokia x20 in russia. I'm totally aware of my choice and here are my reasons: 1-Design 2-Software updates (3 years) 3-Ziess camera 4-Cooling system 5-Gorilla Glass 5 6-Compostable case 7-I don't play games so the 480 snapdragon is not an issue for me. 8-I don't like software bugs, problems, advertising and the cameras of Poco, Oppo, Xiaomi etc. People should understand that the chinese market of smartphones is not reliable especially in terms of software support. IPS LCD is very comfortable for my eyes. By the way, Amoled/Oled screens are more likely to burn in and have more fading issues compared to IPS LCD. My only complain is that the 480 don't allow to record a 4k video, but if the x20 can record a smooth HD video without autofocus problems, it would be really cool.

I don't understand why Apple can make a 1.000 $ Phone with a 60hz display but Nokia needs more than 60hz on a 300 $ Phone. Or the iPhone 11 still has LCD for 600 $ and Nokia is not allowed to do use LCD?

I am going to buy it X20! I dont want my money to put on Chinese product!

It falls behind compared to others, but it does not send all your data to servers in china. 😂

The cost of upgrading and maintaining the device over the years should be factored in. It's in the device price that you pay. And that's significant.

3 years of updates is slick. Expectialy when all brands counts support time from a day of release, and doing it for much shorter time.

Being using a Nokia 7 plus for 2 years they are lovely phones .

"Realme just dared to leap of my desk" - Tom The Tech Chap😂😂

In Poland there is a strange situation that everyone strongly criticizes Nokia. When I asked about Nokia smartphones in the store, they laughed at me. And I've had my Nokia 8 for five years and it's never broken down. The battery just doesn't last long after five years of everyday using. In Poland, many people buy chinese devices Realme, Xiaomi, Poco etc. Why? I do not understand it. Can somebody explain it to me?

Having an LCD display instead of OLED is kind of a positive for PWM sensitive users like myself, so this one goes higher up in my list v/s the other ones you compared.

I love my Nokia X20! It has superior software, great build quality and good enough specs. Do other phones in this price range have 8 gigs of ram, 5g and Gorilla glass 5?

For me id rather choose the nokia x20 compared to your preferred choices. Quality, durability,balance and longevity of usage are my priority compared to spec race.

The focus shift at 6:58 was on point!

Lovely review! It actually made me more interested in the phone than disappointed!👍

Wide screen size, 5G and 3 yrs of updates will do for me!

Nokia FINALLY released a midrange phone with a Full HD Display, a decent main camera, and compass! Yay. The bar is low but something is better than nothing. I love my stock android but have been really wanting for decent stock phones in 2020.

I got X20 today just for the finnish roots of Nokia🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

I just bought one to replace my old Galaxy S4 & am most impressed with it so far. It ticks all of the boxes re. features which I require, ie. no bloatware, a great price, great battery life, camera looks good, it has an sd card slot, and it seems lightening fast compared to my much loved old phone - very happy with it. l'm not a techie but I very much enjoyed your video, thanks.

Wish you did chapters in your videos. Makes watching tech videos easier as you can jump to information that is relevant to you.

Man I wish we could just go back to one very good camera instead of 3 mediocre ones, especially on budget phones

Processors is the point where nokia always stays backward. I really don't want nokia to end up like LG

I bought the X20 yesterday after spending hours reason reviews and specs. Tbh, I've never spent so long deciding on a phone over the past few decades. However, so much consideration and what seems like impressive hardware specs on rivals. However, this phone is great. I'm not sure better Sienna are requested. PLUS (a big plus) I read usercomment on a forum which stuck with me whilst making my decision. Nokia gives 3 year warranty and years of updates ( future proof) and the commenter highlighted the fact that updates on other phones have slowed up the hardware on rivals phones. The analogy used was so you want the rush of having a " high speced paperweight or a usable phone ". They have a point. The updates are worthy and in real life, this phone is great.

Picked up this phone at the end of June '21. I've had a good 9 months use out of it. Great build quality, great battery life, solid OS not had issues. Cameras are great although not spectacular (I had a Pixel 3 XL before this!). Saying that it does have full manual controls on the camera and also plenty of options to shoot more creatively. I particularly like the duo video camera where you can have two camera feeds into one screen. Works well and given me some pictures that the Pixel would never have! :) The screen is a good size for working with, perfect aspect ratio for consuming video (16:9). Sound although mono crisp and loud enough. Love the clean fast unbloated OS. Had an OS update shortly after Android 12 was released and just had a the monthly security patch so things are kept upto date. Its got a nice hefty solid feel to it which I like and appreciated the screen protector and case supplied with it. Nokia also planted 20 trees on behalf of me when I bought this. One of the aspects that appealed to me is that Nokia are at least trying to make sustainable phones with 3 years warranty and updates so yes maybe more expensive vs other on a simple paper spec sheet comparison but in use its great! Call quality great and 5G useful when out and about - its getting more popular these days so handy to have on board. Only slight downside is can lack a bit of smoothness when flicking between apps etc. Not hugely noticeable when using the phone on a daily basis but if you are coming from a flagship device to this then you will notice a little. Not a huge problem and given the price differential acceptable! Great phone and a solid well performing dependable work and play tool. No problems here with it! :) The Nokia ringtone makes me smile every time it rings :D

I still use my beloved Nokia 808 pureview, the camera, still the beast.

i will buy that phone for 3 yrs of a software update, better camera, vanilla android, build quality

The dealbreaker for me would be the advertisements on the alternative phones. The Xiaomi/Poco lock screen ads, for example. Stock Android has it too though: the Photos app selling card prints around mothers/fathers day, but it's not as bad as with other brands and you can disable the advertisement notifications in the notification permissions of the Photos app.

480 5g is same as powerful than 720g. 3 year warranty is missed by you. Lcd and oled, 60hz 90hz are just marketing terms. If display Looks and feels great that is fine.

Thx 4 the review. I've bought the x20 (just waiting for it to arrive). Main point for me is indeed the Android One software (Too bad it is not really taking off.... Kudos to Nokia/HMD for sticking to it). And the 3yrs of updates. 5G is nice but for me personally not that important. The other specs may be a bit less compared to what others deliver, but I expect them to be good enough. I am updating from the Xiaomi Mi A1 (their first Android One and imo a very nice and well-specced device at that time) which is stuck at Android 9, so A11 to A14 without bloatware on my next phone sounds good! We'll see....

I wish the screen size was smaller and had smaller bezels, 60hz is fine but 90hz wouldve been better and they should added a oled screen but it's fine it they don't.

While I understand the issue, Snapdragon 480 is quite a depart from previous 400 series, because it has some fast processors in the array (2x Cortex-A76), contrary to previous designs that had only "little" cores. So its a 700-series class chipset despite the name. Your own comparison puts it surprisingly close to its bigger brothers. So thank you for it: vast majority of reviewers infers performance from naming alone.

Great review, but there's one thing about Nokia phones that no other manufacturercan compete with: you can drop the phone onto concrete and the screen won't crack. And that's worth a lot, £180 or €200 for a screen replacement to be exact.

Hi Chap, IPS LCD is boon for people suffering from PWM used in OLED screens. So, please do not push the companies to give OLED screen for every mid range phone. And if you have time, please do a video about PWM and its health effects on some people just so that people are aware about it. I had to deal with nauseas and headaches for around 6 months because of using OLED smartphone. Now that I am back to LCD iPhone, things are back to normal.

OK, the competition offers better specs! But I prefer to use a Nokia device with 3 years of updates and with pure android, I trust HMD more, because I have a Nokia 7 Plus and it is like new, the competition uses modified android that makes it unpleasant to use.

did you switched from x20 to x10 mid video? the color looked blue then green , or was it the lighting?

2:59 "The Realme dared to leap off my desk" nice pun

It's still a great great phone Nokia came up with. I bought this from a duty free shop in Doha for a relative and he's loving it

Another big issue with Nokia HMD is that their phones become buggy when a new Android version gets loaded. They don't sort out those bugs, so the phone that works pretty well on release actually gets worse.

Such a shame on what they are doing.... loved the path with the 7 plus... now.... oef... (loving the background on the b-roll a lot!!!)

Nice that you picked up on the similarities between 8.3 and X20.

Hi! What is the name of the Xiaomi model that is at the far left at 6:51 ?

Awesome !!! Keep up the good work mate!

@the tech chap would you be able to let hmd global to remove that Nokia logo from front ..

I've kept buying nokias because they have been lasting a lot. Still have the 7.1, which I still think it is beautiful and elegant, and after 2 years and a half I still only need to charge it every 2 days, like it was when I've bought it. Even if at the time there were also reviews just like this one, where the processor was criticized, I still bought it and I do not regret it. I'm just going to replace it because I've broken the screen before the pandemic (1 year and a half ago) after a really harsh fall. It shattered but almost unnoticeable. Only now some parts started getting out and exposing the inside, which told me that or I'd replace its screen or I'd replace it... So, I'm going for the X20. The main reason is that I don't want to be changing my phone frequently, I want it to last because it annoys me to configure a new phone, inserting the passwords, the phone book, etc. And I don't expect to have to replace this one in the next 3 years. But I do agree, for the price, they should have used at least a better processor, not the lowest of the line...

Would it be safe to say that someone like myself who prefers the clean snappy UI over the speedy elements and capacity to play games etc would find this a much more palatable phone than one of the chinese ones (xiaomi etc.) that have an iffy OS ?

Can the X20 do 4K 24 fps in daylight fairly decently? Thanks...

which model of Xioami phone is the one that you showed at 2:05?

I want a decent phone, that handle being dropped on the floor, doesn't come with annoying bloatware and that doesn't send my data to China. Seems like a good buy this one.

Interesting review. Thanks. A review of some of the new Samsung phones, like the A32, A42 or A52 (all 5G) would be good.

Awesome review keep it up as always bro

(Coming from a Samsung Galaxy flagship) Nokia X10 and X20 are the best overall smartphone in the market right now. Excellent design, cameras and performance. The battery life on these two phones is just from another league. I prefer LCDs over LEDs bcz of the eye damages I have experienced in the past from the "eye catching" displays. (Great quality display, can't complain) Enjoying the most! 💚💙

Great video!; Greetings from Argentina

Do you have a video editor?

That dreaded moment when you drop a phone and have to turn it round to see if the screen is smashed.😱

Does X20 come with Pure display technology like nokia 7.2?

I have been using my nokia 6.1 few months after launch, got it for only 150€ ehat was pretty good deal and looking forward for this phone on black Friday sale. The 60hz and speaker's and camera and batterys are all great bonuses for me bc im purely buying the phone for pure Android and for that it doesn't slow down after years of use unlike my friends have been complaining with 1 year old phoned getting slower.

2:30: fyi the sd 720g is not "very low power" chipset. It has similar or better performance than sd 732g on Xiaomi phones. Sd 480 is no low power either. In fact it got maybe almost 100% upgrade from sd 460 and it now has 5g and it's great it can compete with some of the midranger from last year.

I got it, only thing I can fault is the resolution doesn’t go beyond 1080p, other then that I think it’s a great phone, good interface and very fast, no complaints

When will the POCO F3 review come? I am really hyped for that phone!

Are all of the phones in the comparison 5g?

whats the phone called far left?

Do not underestimate the lcd, it's their lcd, it has better colors, texture, contrast, i know it because I had one, and lcd had no bleeding and screen burning from time to time (not like amoled)

Wich best Xiaomi mi10t pro or nokia x20 please helpme

So glad you Reviewed it , just loved it 🥳

How does it stack up against the Nokia 8.3 thats going for around £280 currently

i would love to see you review on the tcl 20 5g there are none at the moment what I've seen it could be a good phone

i'll look for upgrade to Poco F3 or buy if you must say that

Using 5.1 plus for 2 years and guess what it is running as smoothly as it used to. Chinese phones after 1 year use don't work smoothly. 2. You don't get any unwanted apps in Nokia. 3. Your data is safe and china can't track you. 4. Specs are for nerds and loosers...if phone is working good and running smoothly then fuck with the specs. Windows phone with even 512mb ram were smooth as compared to android phones with 2 GB ram. It's all about OS....Nokia should develop their own os or they should just partner up with sailos.

I don't play games on my phone. That's what computers and games consoles are for, so 60hz isn't a problem. Again, I'm not bothered about a mono speaker, as long as I can listen to stuff on my headphones in stereo. What's a deal breaker for me, are phones which try to force me to use those wireless ear buds, by not providing a jack socket.

An English speaking person might not get the button, but for me as a Swede, when "Ok/Hey, Google" don't work most of the time, is a very welcome edition. It make GA much easier to activate fast. Kinda strange that Sony phone vanished for their nemesis Nokia in James Bond movies.

I’m giving up iPhone XR to get mid range phone , but want to spend up to £300 , I want a phone with a great battery life , I don’t do gaming though . Just like KZfaq sometimes , can you recommend anything?

720g is same as 480 5g power wise but graphic is powerful in later. Plus os is sleek.

When are they stopping to put chins in their phones it's been 5 years I am pissed

Just bought an x20, dropped it broke glass, is that replaceable ? asking because it looks it is sealed all way around ??.

Sir, how long battery backup it gives.

Did Nokia exit from the Android One program?

I was looking at the X20. But I'm thinking of going with the Oppo find X3 for another £79 extra which is released on the 14th April I think. Any thoughts.

Off/on topic, on price I got a moto one 5g ace unlocked for $189. This I believe was a best buy mess up in the states. With a plan from them it's still $279. Has a 750g so that's a great price for a 5g phone.

Anybody know if it is quick to connect to Android Auto in a new Peugeot? My current Xiaomi works at best 50% of the time

Problem is will those other sale or even work in the US market? Will I have to import? How good is the customer service? Having a variety is good but you have to answer those questions for all your viewers. KZfaq is international you know.

You mentioned the key to this phone (as well as the G series and their previous 2-9 series too)...the software. The Android One software is not the same as regular Android. It is a slimmed down and optimised software designed to work on specific hardware. That is part of Android One phones, they have a limited set of hardware option to choose from to be in the program. That said, when you lower the options and make the software for the hardware you will get a better experience. That is also why you see Nokia using the hardware they do (as well as others in the program) in their phones and their phones are very reliable and don't need the higher specs to have a great experience with them. That is also why they get the 2 and now 3 years of OS updates and security patches. Good video by the way.

Hey Tech Chap, think you're underestimating the Brand Loyalty and warm feeling to Nokia as a historic phone brand... even though we all know its not the same Nokia... it's like driving an Audi, the other brands you mention don't have that history, cache and "perceived" better camera reputation, which they've captured be keeping the Zeiss logo on there... good video though and I'm about to click Buy on the Nokia... thanks

my phone now is nokia 8 and its with me since 2017 and still in a good performance nokia is a wonderfull phone and reliable

Please do more budget or mid range phones, so customers can see the best value for money.

Please more videos about Nokia, Motorola, and other (budget) phones most people dont even know, just for interest.

Please camera test between Nokia 8.3 vs Nokia x20.

Two words; Headphone Jack. Another 2 words; Expandable memory

I updated it and a purple background is making my screen and photos look shit what I do wrong anyone know thanks

For selfie it's not cool. But the back camera is the real deal. It's everything, especially night mode.

Don't really care about what type of screen it is or how fast the processor is, so long as I can listen to music on the move and use it as a modern for my laptop, none of the other stuff matters

I kinda like that Nordic blue color. Better than Xiaomi or poco colorways with their latest recently released phones.

Thank u..good review

Stock Android is a major plus for the Nokia. I don't know about those other brands, but I've seen some Android phones with terrible bloatware and ads on top of that, and I'd rather not bother trying to live with that. If any of the alternatives also came with stock Android, then we'd be talking.

My Nokia X-20 has frozen more than five times, since I purchased it in the first week of January 2022. I have had it repaired by HMD Global, yet the off and on freezing has not stopped. What should I do?

I'm still using Nokia 8.1 about 2 year so far still good condition.X20 now pre order in Malaysia.. i will buy

I would buy Nokia x20 because: 5g Stock android Good battery Design Software updates Headphone jack Decent camera Good battery life Butt I will still go for the Poco f3 because: Snapdragon 870 Super Amoled 120hz Design I am fine with miui but would still prefer stock android.

Yeah Nokia is like 1-2 years back

5g, 60 hz display, years of future updates, no charger in the box. Basically the same specs as the Iphone 12... Didn't hear you complain about that on the Iphone mr. "tech" chap.

If it just works and lasts longer it doesn’t matter what the specs are for most people

I have this phone because sometimes it will halt and its display is not working just blank screen for a longer time now screen is blank and there is not button to switch off and restart
