The return of Nokia to the phone market via HMD hasn't quite been what most Nokia fans were hoping for, although the company has carved out a strange mid-range to low-end niche for itself. Now the company has announced its first tablet, called the T20 which ends up in the same kind of market space as most of its phones, although the pricing is somewhat attractive though.

The T20 sports a 10.4-inch display with a 1,200x2,000 pixel resolution and a rather unusual 5:3 aspect ratio. The back is made from aluminium and the screen is covered with toughened glass, although without any kind of fancy marketing name involved. The choice of SoC is rather interesting, as Nokia went with a Unisoc T610, which is already a couple of years old by now. Even so, it sports two Arm Cortex-A75 cores and six Cortex-A55, all clocked at 1.8 GHz, so it's not a bottom shelf chip as such, although the Mali G52 MP2 GPU isn't going to be amazing for more demanding games, considering the resolution of the display.



Nokia offers two main SKUs of the T20, although this appears to be region dependent. The difference is 4G support or not, but there are SKU's with either 3 or 4 GB of RAM and 32 or 64 GB of storage, with a micro SD card slot offering support for up to 512 GB memory cards. Other features include 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, a USB-C port, although it's limited to USB 2.0 data rates and a 3.5 mm audio jack. A pair of stereo speakers are built in and there's support for Nokia's OZO audio through a pair of built in microphones. A 5 Megapixel front facing camera and an 8 Megapixel rear camera with an LED flash rounds off the features. It should be noted that the 4G SKU also comes with GPS support.

The battery is rated at 8,200 mAh and is said to be good for between seven to 15 hours of usage, depending on usage. Oddly enough, Nokia only provides a 10 W charger, even though 15 W charging is supported. Nokia promises two years of OS updates, although as Android 11 is the shipping OS, it means that this isn't as attractive as it could've been, although security updates are promised for an additional year.

Pricing starts at US$249.99 for the Wi-Fi only version, with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage and appears to be the only SKU the US market gets. In Europe, things are more complicated, as different countries have different pricing, but expect to pay around €249-269 for the maxed out 4G SKU and around €30-40 less for the Wi-Fi SKU. Nokia is only offering one colour option, which is Deep Ocean. Early reviews are indicating that the T20 delivers in terms of battery life and display, but that the performance could be better.

3gb of ram in 2022 almost? yikes. no ty. magic the gathering arena on android requires 4gb. and if im going to spend close to 300 bucks on the upgraded ram version... i might as well spend 160 bucks more and get the most advanced top of the line tablet there is in the new ipad mini (i got it on sale for $460 at Costco) and this has cpu/gpuflash storage in it that is lightyears more powerful... for only $160 more it was a no brainer and I am glad I ordered it. not a huge fan of apple ecosystem but eh.

The 4GB RAM version is $250, so calm down.

Meh, wasn't expecting much but still, pretty much a more expensive Realme pad

They are launching new tablets in the low end space, maybe because of the pandemic but they all are coming way too late to market, and are doing the same mistakes as before, only doing uninspired designs with little to no hopes for long software support.

Maybe the situation improves with the rumored Android 12.1 but everyone seems to be sleeping at the wheel, microsoft can't get Windows on Arm going, Android tablets are mostly MIA, Chromebook tablets are week and expensive when compared to their android counterparts, meanwhile the iPad continues to take everyones lunch

Well this would be pretty good replacement for the only thing I use my tablet for these days (Samsung Tab S2 8in)....reading magazines.

The larger 10in screen and aspect ratio would make it a better fit for that alone.

Video resolutions naming is a mess, 2000x1200 is at least closer to 2k than QHD which is often also refered to as 2k and definetely isn't so imo. There's not even a clear definition, DCI 2k is 2048x1080 but then there's also FHD which sometimes is referred as 2k.

I pretty much use mine just to read books now, and every time I consider replacing it I realise I couldn't live without the fantastic OLED screen on my S2 8", and there's nothing around to compete in size or cost.

2k is the same as qhd, which is 1440p.

4k is is the same as uhd which is 2160p.

The terminology does makes sense actually:

In 2k/qhd you get 4x720p screens

In 4k/uhd you get 4x1080p screens

since 1080 is a half step between HD multiples (they go in 720 steps but in 1080 case its a 360 step) so thats why its called FHD because its an enhanced HD so when it comes to uhd/4k it makes sense to name it "ultra" hd as in its the next step of FHD because the alternative would be qfhd which would be kinda confusing.


2000x1200 is essentially a weird 16:10 that lives in the 1080p pixel density and is quite far from being 2k/qhd


imo 2k is a pretty useless pixel density, it doesnt scale well with most content because its between fhd and uhd, the only use i would see would be for gaming but for media content i prefer having a uhd screen since im not worried about weird downscaling with panavision content (1600p) which doesnt make use of the 2160p vertical but doesnt quite fit 1440p which means downscalins, basically most 4K movies and some shows. 2k is absolutely fine for gaming, sweet spot for higher pixel density without scrificing too much performance.

That's not correct (as fair as correct can go when this entire thing is a complete mess). 2k is a meaningless term, it's used as often for QHD as it is for FHD, the weird 2000x1200 or anything in between. There's also the even more stupid 2.5k which is often used for QHD (because 2,560px) but all these terms are a bunch of bs manufactured for marketing (I don't even know when this shit started, I would say 4k but even before it was pretty silly with things like QXGA or WUXGA that I challenge anyone to know without looking at a table)

If you want to pick an actual standard to go on, there's DCI 2k which is 2048 × 1080, but that's pretty useless as no one is really running that resolution or cares about DCI outside cinema.

The terminology does makes sense actually:

In 2k/qhd you get 4x720p screens

In 4k/uhd you get 4x1080p screens

since 1080 is a half step between HD multiples (they go in 720 steps but in 1080 case its a 360 step) so thats why its called FHD because its an enhanced HD so when it comes to uhd/4k it makes sense to name it "ultra" hd as in its the next step of FHD because the alternative would be qfhd which would be kinda confusing.

I'd be interested to find where did pull the 720 steps out from, this entire mess of things is afaik only marketing terms, nothing else. HD appeared as the mininum certification level for HDTV, from there they decided to pull 1080 and call it full hd because if 720 is hd we need a new term for the new one, then came "4k" because oh 4 times fhd? there's the name for you: 4K! This are television standards, QHD is pretty much only used on computer monitors although the name indeed came from being 4 times what HD is.

This entire thing is a mess, with marketing terms (4k) mixed up with television standards (uhd) and cinema standards (dci 4k) intermingled of course with computer standards (4k UHD? no, QFHD? 2160p? i don't even know anymore, my brain hurts)
