Helsink: Managed by HMD Global After receiving harsh criticism for its pricing strategy, Nokia reduced the price of the X30 5G in the Indian market. The device is now priced below Rs. 40,000 after a sizable reduction of Rs. 12,000 in price. The phone is made primarily of sustainable materials and is composed of recycled materials. But does it now, after the discount, provide a good price-to-performance ratio?
The Nokia X30 5G has a fingerprint reader underneath the display and a top-centered punch-hole cutout. It is water resistant to IP67 standards. The phone's frame is made entirely of recycled aluminium.

A whopping 65% of the plastic used in its construction is recycled. The device has a 6.43-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) AMOLED screen with Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus protection, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 700 nits.
The triple camera setup on the Nokia X30 5G includes an LED flash. With a Gorilla Glass DX+ lens cover, its 50MP (f/1.9, OIS) primary camera offers anti-reflective optics and scratch resistance.

A Snapdragon 695 chipset, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, power the Nokia X30 5G. The phone comes pre-installed with Android 12. It is powered by a 4,200mAh battery, which can be charged quickly (33W) using the included charger.A dual-SIM slot, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, NFC, and a Type-C port are included in the 5G offering.
In India, the Nokia X30 5G was released for Rs. 48,999. However, its sole 8GB/256GB model is now retailing for Rs. 36,999. Through the company's official website and Amazon, the device is available in the Cloudy Blue and Ice White colorways.
Another environmentally friendly phone from Nokia is the X30 5G. The phone feels solid in the hand. It has a high-resolution AMOLED screen, is waterproof, has competent cameras, and has respectable storage and battery life.
Due to the device's subpar hardware for the price, we do not advise purchasing it. Under 40,000 rupees, you could choose smartphones like the Vivo V27 Pro and OnePlus 11R
