The Nokia name is back on an Android tablet – for only the second time in its history – with the arrival of the Nokia T20. HMD Global, which owns the rights to the Nokia brand name for mobile devices, says the T20 is everything you’d expect from a Nokia smartphone, but in a tablet. This means long battery life, durability, and software longevity.
To the first point, the tablet is powered by an 8,200 mAh battery, the largest at its price point. According to the official numbers, the T20 should last around 15 hours of usage. This means it can go through a full work/school day and still have juice left over for some play time.
If you’re stuck in calls all day – literally – the tablet can last around 7 hours of non-stop chatting. For entertainment over the weekend, it can do 10 hours of movies. Charging is done over USB-C with a 15W adapter. Note that the retail package will come with only a 10W charger.
The Nokia T20 has a 10.4” LCD with 2,000 x 1,200 px resolution (15:9). It promises 400 nits of typical brightness with a brightness boost mode. Also, it is guarded by toughened glass.
The tablet runs Android 11 on an Unisoc Tiger T610 chipset (12nm) with two Cortex-A75 cores at 1.8GHz and six A55s also at 1.8GHz. It’s not a beast of a chipset, but it is power efficient and that was the focus here. You can get it with 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of storage, plus however much you put in the form
of a microSD card.
The T20 carries the same support promise as the Nokia G-series. This means 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of monthly security patches.
The tablet is equipped with stereo speakers, two microphones and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. There is a 5 MP camera on the front for video calls and an 8 MP camera on the back. The front camera was optimized for video calls and can do face unlock.
Designed to go the distance and give you extra peace of mind, Nokia T20’s purpose-built Rugged cover provides extra protection by gelling perfectly with the device. The Nokia T20’s Flip cover keeps Nokia T20 as fresh as it was on day one, with its versatile design.
