Nokia brand licensee HMD Global is set to launch the Nokia X30 5G in India soon. The smartphone debuted globally last year, and its sale in India will begin on February 20. The Nokia brand licensee typically focuses on smartphones with a clean Android experience. These phones are priced between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000. The Nokia X30, on the other hand, is its mid-budget offering with 5G support and an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel camera. The company says the Nokia X30 will support three years of major Android OS.
In the global market, the Nokia X30 5G is priced at $529, which is around Rs 43,800. In India, the price could be around Rs 35,000.
We can expect the global variant and the Indian variant of the X30 to be the same. This means that the Nokia X30 will feature a unibody design and come in Blue and White colours. The front panel will include a hole punch for the single selfie camera.
The phone will sport a 6.43-inch with Full-HD+ (1080 x 2400) resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. On its global website, Nokia states the front panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, which is typically available in high-end smartphones. The company adds the Nokia X30 5G’s body is made with 100 per cent recycled aluminium and 65 per cent recycled plastic.
Unlike most smartphones these days, the X30 includes two cameras on the back. The camera system features a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS (optical image stabilisation). The latter helps users to capture stable videos and sharp images. The primary camera is accompanied by a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 123-degree field of view. The camera module also includes an LED flash.
All this hardware is powered by Snapdragon 695 and backed by a 4200mAh battery with 33W charging. We will likely have the same processor in the India-specific variant of the Nokia X30. The Snapdragon 695 SoC also powers the newly launched Realme 10 Pro Coca-Cola Edition.
Other features of the Nokia X30 5G will get include 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, OZO Spatial Audio, an under-display fingerprint sensor, an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and a USB Type-C cable in the box.
Currently, the Nokia G60 5G is the most expensive Nokia phone on the company’s official site. It costs Rs 29,999 and comes with a 6.5-inch display and the same Snapdragon 695 SoC. It does not include an OIS-enabled camera.
