Nokia X21 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Nokia X21 5G Overview
Nokia X21 5G is not a photo flagship at all
Sometimes marketing can be deceiving. A manufacturer may promote its product in a not entirely honest way, promising competitive advantages where they actually do not. A similar situation happened with the hero of today's review. And don't let ZEISS optics fool you.
The appearance of the novelty is relevant, but has a number of visible disadvantages. The main ones are the plastic case and the very wide bottom bezel of the display. The positive aspects of the exterior are the 16-megapixel selfie camera located at the top of the screen, the flagship design of the camera unit. The fingerprint sensor is moved under the AMOLED panel, which also benefits the design. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display has a good margin of brightness for the price segment, a high resolution of 2400x1080 pixels. It is hard not to notice the highest smoothness of the picture at 120 Hz refresh rate. Already out of the box, a film with a high-quality oleophobic coating is applied to the AMOLED screen.
The technical characteristics are the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 CPU, 6GB / 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 619 video adapter, which are unlikely to cause negative feedback from ordinary users. Questions may arise exclusively from gamers, because in the cost category there are also phones with more productive chipsets. So, it is possible to enjoy the beauties of the open world of Genshin Impact on low-medium graphics presets, otherwise the gameplay will be spoiled by friezes, jamming, long reloads of distant objects. On the other hand, the processor is energy efficient enough that a 5000 mAh battery will show up to two days of active use of an Android phone. Another thing is that the fast charging power was 18W, with which it will take a very long time to be at the outlet.
64-, 13-megapixel modules and TOF sensors are not as good as we would like. The reason for mediocre evening photos and shots lies in the lack of optical stabilization and flaws in the software, due to which both noise and blurring of small details are visible. The dynamic range of colors is also not amazing, sometimes it is difficult to see anything in the shadows. In 2022, savings on stereo sound also look strange. Thank God that contactless NFC payments, 128/256GB of ROM with a slot for microSD cards and support for 5G networks are at least not forgotten. Unfortunately, the presence on the market of devices similar in functionality with a more affordable price tag casts doubt on the future success of the smartphone.
