Everyone’s wondering where Nokia has been in the premium smartphone market. This company sits along with the likes of Motorola, Blackberry, LG, and other phone companies that are way past their prime or not making phones anymore. Regardless, Nokia confirmed that five of its smartphones are going to be getting Android 13 (via GSM Arena).
Nokia’s most premium phones right now are far removed from the current premium smartphones from the likes of Google, Samsung, Apple, and others. These are true-to-form mid-range phones, but that’s what makes them compelling for average consumers. While the hardware is subdued, Nokia does not want them to fall behind in terms of software.
These five Nokia phones are getting Android 13
The five phones on this list are on the cheaper side. First off, we have the Nokia X20. This phone will set you back $496 on Amazon. It has a decent 6.67-inch display with a 1080 x 2400 pixel resolution, a maximum of 8GB of RAM, a maximum of 128GB of storage, a 64-megapixel main camera, and a decent 4470mAh battery.
The only downside will be the processor. This is using a Snapdragon 485 G.
Next up, we have Nokia X10 this is a step down from the X20 with a maximum of 6GB of RAM, but it has the same 6.67-inch 1080p+ screen, battery capacity, and the same Snapdragon 480 5G SoC. Aside from the RAM, the camera also sees a drop. We’re looking at a 48-megapixel camera.
Third, we have the Nokia XR20. It has the same 6.67-inch 1080 x 2400 display, the same maximum of 6GB of RAM, and the same Snapdragon 480 5G SoC. It has a slightly smaller 4630mAh battery and a 48-megapixel main camera.
Moving further down the line, we have the Nokia G50. This is the first phone on the list that we see with a drop in display resolution (6.82-inch, 720 x 1560).
It caps out at 6GB of RAM, but it has the biggest battery out of the bunch, a 5000mAh battery. That’s about the average size for flagship smartphones. As for the processor, it still uses the Snapdragon 480 5G SoC.
Last but not least, we have the Nokia G11 Plus. The display is ever so slightly more pixel-dense than the Nokia G50. It’s a 6.52-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1600. The camera got a slight bump up to 50 megapixels, however the RAM caps out at 4GB. There’s a 5000mAh battery.
We don’t know exactly when these Nokia phones will get Android 13, but it shouldn’t be too long.
