Three Nokia phones one tablet and an unusual subscription have all just been announced.
Among the many IFA 2022 announcements, we’ve heard about five new products from HMD Global, the maker of Nokia handsets: three cheap phones, a tablet, and an intriguing subscription.
Let’s start with the phones, and specifically the Nokia X30 5G, which you can see below. This in many ways sounds like a fairly standard cheap phone, with a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen, a 90Hz refresh rate, a max brightness of 450 nits, a Snapdragon 695 chipset, 5G support, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage.
It also has a 4,200mAh battery with 33W charging, a 50MP main camera plus a 13MP ultra-wide one, and runs Android 12 with the promise of three years of updates. It comes in blue and white shades, and interestingly it has an IP67 rating, which makes it more water-resistant than most cheap phones.
What’s even more interesting about the Nokia X30 5G is that, according to HMD Global, it’s the most eco-friendly phone the company has ever made, with a 100% recycled frame and camera bump, along with a 65% recycled plastic back. So if you want a new phone while minimizing your environmental impact, you could do a lot worse than this.
If you’re interested, you’ll be able to grab it in the UK from late September starting at £399 (around $465 / AU$675), with no word yet on availability or pricing for other regions.
Next up there’s the Nokia G60 5G, which is pictured at the top of this article. This lacks the eco-friendly credentials of the X30 5G, but it has a 6.58-inch FHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a brightness of 400 nits. It also has a Snapdragon 695 chipset, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of storage.
The battery is 4,500mAh with 20W charging, the phone supports 5G of course, and there’s a 50MP main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP depth sensor.
