In my review of the Nokia T20 tablet, I found the design to feel a bit more premium than other budget tablets like the Amazon Fire HD 10. The plastic back looks nice and the tablet feels solidly built, with rounded corners that make it comfortable to hold. One odd design choice is the headphone jack placement. When holding the tablet landscape, plugged in headphones jut out awkwardly. You'd likely need to prop up or one-hand clutch the tablet to make this comfortable. - Tech Spurt |

The display is the main selling point for me - it's gorgeous, with great colors and viewing angles. Good brightness levels indoors but outdoor visibility was more difficult. The speakers were just okay, with audio fired downwards. Performance of the T610 chipset leads to some lag and stuttering at times, though it's capable for casual use like streaming video. Gaming also worked reasonably well via cloud services like Stadia and Xbox Cloud Gaming. - 9to5Google |

I really like the Nokia T20 as a budget tablet, though there are some compromises. On the downsides, there is a lack of display customization in Android, the headphone jack placement is awkward in landscape orientation, no HD Netflix support currently, and some apps aren't well optimized for tablets. However, there are several strengths that make the T20 a great value: nice premium design with metal body, excellent battery life of around 10 hours screen time, good clarity speakers even at full volume, properly centered front camera in landscape, and overall strong value given the features and aluminum build you get for the price. - TheMrNokia I Abdulla Zaki |

The overall rating is based on review by our dedicated team and users.
Nokia recently released its latest budget Android tablet, the T20. This tablet has a premium design and solid battery life for the price. But does it stack up against more expensive options like the iPad? Let's dive in.
Sleek Metal Design Stands Out
Right away, the T20 impresses with its sleek metal body and rounded corners. Many cheaper Android tabs go plastic, but Nokia opts for aluminum. At just 0.31-inches thick and 1.03 pounds, it won't weigh down your bag either.
Its landscape-angled headphone jack does stick out awkwardly though. You may need to clutch or prop up the tablet to avoid cord tugging.
Vibrant 10.4-Inch Screen, But Lacks Brightness
Nokia gifts the T20 a roomy 10.4-inch 1200 x 2000 pixel screen in 16:10 aspect ratio. Images and video pop nicely with accurate colors and wide viewing angles. But max brightness caps at 400 nits – less than ideal for outdoor readability.
Still, it should suffice for indoor Netflix binging or web browsing. Just don't expect iPad-level clarity under sunlight.
Everyday Speed Needs Met, Not a Powerhouse
Keep expectations modest on raw horsepower. The T20's T610 chipset and 3/4GB RAM don't promise breakneck speeds. Light gaming and video streaming went fine during our testing. But graphic-heavy titles led to some stuttering.
Still, for the casual tablet user on a budget, it should handle everyday needs decently well. Those wanting a productivity or creative powerhouse may want to pass though.
Battery Goes the Distance
Nokia states all-day battery life on the T20. Our testing aligns with this claim. With mixed usage spanning video watching, web browsing, and reading, it lasted around 10 hours per charge.
That's in the same ballpark as the 2021 iPad, meaning it should give you plenty of uptime between plug-ins. When charging, expect around 2.5 hours to fill up fully with the included 15W brick.
Clean Software, Guaranteed Updates
The T20 ships with a clean build of Android 11, free of bloatware and clutter. Nokia also promises 2 years of OS upgrades and 3 years of monthly security patches. This outpaces what most budget tablet makers offer.
So if an ad-free software experience with long-term support matters, the T20 looks compelling over Amazon and Samsung's cheaper Fire and Galaxy Tab options.
Solid Budget Pick, Just Temper Expectations
Just don't equate it to a flagship iPad or Galaxy Tab in fit and finish. Tempered expectations around performance and display quality go a long way here.
Within its price bracket though, the T20 punches above its class. We can easily recommend it as an everyday entertainment hub or kid device. For not much cash, Nokia checks a lot of the right boxes.
