Head to squarespace.com/mrnokia to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code mrnokia The X30 enters my personal top 3 HMD/Nokia Phones list... alongside the 8 Sirocco and XR20. If it had a centered camera on the back, might even be the top of the list :p

@dkag Жыл бұрын

Would you make a short comparing: Sirocco vs X30? I am one of the fews who has their Sirocco, but likely change for some new Nokia, e.g. an X30. However, I still feel it should be a step backwards on many ways.

Undoubtedly it was a great advance of the HMD, compact screen, good camera, and premium design, I liked the device, after many wrong decisions it seems that HMD realized the ideal strategy, I liked the photos, it seems that they hit the camera, I hope they launch more models of this quality level going forward. I'm going to buy a white model, I thought it was prettier. Now HMD needs to improve availability in the markets, it's still very slow. Great analysis!

I hope that Nokia will keep on this track which to me is a bit back to first HMD Nokia devices. Back then they also focussed more on the build with just adequate hardware instead of going for high performance. I'm also hoping they will do similar stuf for the XR20 successor (if there will be one). By that I mean mainly shifting to the same hardware and screen as the X30. The XR20 already had my favourite build (a mix of metal frame and strudy polycarbonate in a effectively rugged style).

I wish HMD would release this phone in the US market. I own the Nokia X100 and I love it but they definitely need to release better mid range models over here. I know we recently got the G400 5G but it'd be cool if they started to bring phones over like this X30 for those people (myself included) who'd like a slightly better Nokia midranger with an improved camera setup with OIS. :)

@AbdullaZaki Жыл бұрын

I strongly believe having a good camera and long lifespan are the most important features of a phone these days. Good camera when I need it at the spur of the moment and a long battery life for when I get too busy to take care of the remaining charge for the day. X30 seems to have those and I can't wait to buy it next week! Even my Nokia 6.1 Plus takes decent pictures too and the battery life is amazing!

@AbdullaZaki Жыл бұрын

Thanks :D My car doesn't have android Auto, but usually problems related to it are not related to a specific phone. The software itself is very buggy, and I've had inconsistent experiences using it on multiple brands. Some people even consider this the biggest reason they prefer using an iPhone! I don't know if we will get an XR30 to be honest. I think we will most likely get an XR21, which will have similar shortcomings to the XR20.

So Nokia X30 is focusing on ultrawide camera, that capture fusion is totally amazing. But still no one knows if the next thing Nokia to improve would be the video recording. Anyway great job on doing something onto ultrawide camera, For years ultrawide camera is just a secondary camera and its quality will below the one of the main camera, Nokia X30 changed the rule. Now ultrawide resolution is the same as the main camera!

The only flaw in my opinion of this device is the lack of SD card expand-ability, which is something I may actually overlook this time depending on the price when it releases here in KSA, Right now I'm running the Xperia 5 iii, but sadly 5G does not seem to run natively as SONY is not supporting the IMS profiles for GCC & MENA region.

Ich habe es mir in blau gekauft und schreibe gerade diesen Kommentar mit dem X30. Es ist ein sehr elegantes Smartphone und macht mir sehr viel Spaß. Es vermittelt das Gefühl von Premium zum akzeptablen Preis. Ich hatte zuvor ein iPhone 13 und finde das X30 schöner. Endlich kein Glas auf der Rückseite. Das Kamera Modul ist sehr gelungen, die Aufnahmen, die ich bislang gemacht habe, sind sehr gut. Ein bisschen Feintuning an der KI könnte hier und da noch etwas verbessern. Aber mit den Fotos des iPhone 13 war ich auch nicht ganz zufrieden. Das Display vom x30 ist der Hammer. Und die Größe, eben genau zwischen 6,1 und 6,7 Zoll, ist für mich perfekt. Das System mit dem SD695 und 6GB RAM läuft butterweich, Spiele inklusive. Einzig, ein Stereo-Lautsprecher hätte es sein dürfen. Danke für Deine Videos, sie waren für mich kaufentscheidend. Beste Grüße :-)

You hit those negatives pretty quickly. For a long term mid-ranger, not having microSD and 3.5mm headphone jack is a real deal breaker. Come on HMD, you can do better. These days, those 2 items are (unfortunately), big differentiating features. Nobody ever said "Gee, I wish it didn't have a headphone jack"...

While Android isn't as safe as the iPhone, you shouldn't have any security issues using the phone on a daily basis, especially if you don't plan on using installing 3rd party apps from unofficial websites. Nokia phones comes with enterprise recommendation, which also includes things such as safety.

the battery usage page looks different than 5.4 running android 12. is it running android 12.1/12L? also how does the display look under very low brightness? does it exhibit some sort of flickering that makes you sick like cheap OLED panels? also this is why I prefer HMD's stock android than some random OEM implementations. It's always the less feature but less bloated Pixel in my eyes. Even on custom rom I'd rather have OpenGapps Pico which is what basically HMD is doing quite similarly. This is why I find it hard to find HMD replacement in terms of out of the box software. I could do that on custom rom but in expense of tripping lots of security checks (SafetyNet/Play Integrity, dm-verity, Knox etc)
