About this deal

Performance-wise, the Nokia T20 is unremarkable. Due to the restrictive nature of Fire OS, I’m unable to directly compare Geekbench performance between the T20 and Fire HD 10 Plus, but the Geekbench 5 graph below offers an indication of how it compares against the (much pricier and faster) ninth-gen iPad. The tablet measures 247.6 x 157.5 x 7.8mm, and weighs in at 465 grams (the LTE version is very slightly heavier). It's comfortable to hold, and you can just about manage it with one hand – though perhaps not for long. The Nokia T20 comes running Android 11, and we're pleased to say that HMD Global has confirmed that the tablet is going to get Android 12 and Android 13 as well when the time comes – so you're covered for a couple of years at least when it comes to getting the latest software on this device. The Nokia T20 uses an octa-core 1.8GHz Unisoc T610 chipset for processing duties, and this is paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC flash storage, which can also be expanded by up to a further 512GB if you insert a microSD card. Until the Nokia T20, that is, which for the price is remarkably well specified. This 10.4in tablet comes with a 2K (2,000 x 1,200) screen, runs Android 11 and is powered by an octa-core 1.8GHz Unisoc T610 chipset, which works in tandem with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (expandable up to 512GB via microSD).

Battery life is reasonable, too. The T20 lasted for 12hrs 24mins in our battery drain test – which plays a looped video with data connections switched off and the screen set to a brightness of 170cd/m². That’s respectable, but it’s still around two-and-a-half hours short of the Fire HD 10 Plus. Under the hood of the Nokia T20 we've got a Unisoc T610 processor, and our review unit came with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage (a model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is also available in certain markets). Even under prolonged load, the large casing can be cooled without any problems, so you do not feel any heating up.As is traditional for Nokia devices, the T20 runs a very clean installation of Android 11. The standard Google apps and services are all present and correct, and the front end hasn’t been tweaked in any noticeable way. This is excellent news for businesses – it means you can be confident that your core apps will be available, and you won’t have to worry about support calls from staff battling with an unfamiliar interface. On the downside, Android has never really been great on tablets, and that continues to be the case: Google doesn't really do much to tweak the software for a bigger screen, and nor do app developers (there are some exceptions, including Gmail and Spotify). It's not a disaster, but it's not iPadOS. With the Unisoc Tiger T610Nokia's T20 has an unusual SoC, but it can still place itself on the class level in many benchmarks. Nokia's tablet does not break any speed records in everyday use, but it cuts a decent figure. However, the installed eMMC storage is now noticeably outdated and slow. We do have one big problem with the T20’s display, however, and that’s to do with colour reproduction. On paper, it does a fine job of accurately rendering colour tones: we measured an average Delta E of 0.67, indicating that any deviations are too subtle for the human eye to discern. Perhaps the biggest compliment we can pay to the design of the Nokia T20 tablet is that it looks more expensive than it actually is.

If you're going to keep the multitasking down to a minimum, and don't mind a leisurely speed when it comes to getting stuff done, then the Nokia T20 will suffice. We wouldn't recommend this for any kind of demanding photo or video editing though, or for playing sophisticated games. Nokia does not do things by halves concerning the battery and installs a massive battery with 8,200 mAh. Nokia's T20 lasted 17:23 hours in our WLAN test and left the competition behind. Thus, two days of use without charging should be possible without any problems. The tablet needs to be plugged in even less often when used sparingly.Those specs are very much budget specs, and it shows in the performance of the tablet. Opening apps, loading menus, switching between screens, changing from landscape to portrait mode and so on – this all takes a few milliseconds (or even whole seconds) longer than it would on something faster and more expensive. Nokia's T20 only comes with stereo speakers, the realme Pad for example, provides even more powerful sound with four speakers. However, Nokia's T20 sounds quite clear and the trebles do not distort even at high volumes. Qualcomm's aptX HD for Bluetooth audio is on board, but the newer aptX adaptive code is not. You don't get anything above the standard (60Hz) refresh rate, you don't get any cool innovations like mini-LED, and you don't get a particularly high pixels-per-inch density at 224ppi. There's life in the old dog yet: While Samsung and Apple divided the tablet market among themselves, it became less and less interesting for other manufacturers due to the long lifespan of the devices. But in times of home offices, home schooling and video conferencing, tablets are experiencing an unexpected revival. Nokia is now also launching its first tablet in a long time, the T20. However, some points might annoy potential buyers: There is no Widevine L1 certification, so streaming content, for example via Netflix, can only be viewed in 480p. In addition, there is the slow loading speed and the lame memory.
