Nokia Lumia 630 UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Green (Windows, 4.5-inch, 8GB)

Product Information

Espoo, Finland – Nokia has called for accelerated digitalization and green energy uptake, as well as set ting its sights on 100% renewable electricity in its own operations by 2025 . This isn’t to say that the screen on the X10 is bad in any particular way. Covering 87% of the sRGB colour gamut with a total volume of 104%, the Nokia X10’s colours aren’t completely off-kilter, and the settings menu offers finer-grained controls over colour temperature as well. Most will want to skew this a little warmer than the default, which tends to be a little too cool. Nokia calls for accelerated digitalization and green energy uptake , sets sights on 100% green electricity by 2025 If you can stretch your budget a little further, you need only look at the scores for the Moto G13 and Realme C31 to see what kind of performance leaps you can get for a bit more money; the Realme pulls a solid 67% ahead of the Nokia in the multicore results, while the Moto goes even further, closing in on a 75% lead.

This is less than some of the competition managed to achieve, especially the likes of the Moto G9 Power, but it’s a respectable score nonetheless. Subjectively, the phone was always able to make it through a full day of pulling notifications and general use, though never quite making it into a second. With regards to battery life, the X10 is something of a mixed bag. The 4,500mAh unit is certainly big enough in theory to keep the handset going throughout the day, and this is mostly borne out in testing. Running a locally stored looped video at 170cd/m² brightness while on airplane mode, the phone managed to last just over 18 hours before giving up entirely.Terms and conditions apply.

Its commitments have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to be in line with the Paris Agreement’s aim of limiting global warming to 1.5C. With 90% of its emissions coming from customer use of products, Nokia continually invests in improving product energy efficiency – even as capacity grows. [6] New 100% renewable electricity target across Nokia facilities, including offices, R&D labs, and factories. Nokia advocates for the world to digitalize to reach net zero and align the digital and green transformations. Using memory extension (virtual RAM) requires enough storage space. To protect the storage, memory extension is automatically and permanently disabled once 90% of the usage limit is reached. This can occur after 4 years of heavy usage.

Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO of Nokia, said: “There is no green without digital. Only 30% of the world’s economy is currently digitalized, and we must now work to connect the remaining 70% to ensure the world can reach net zero. 5G and related technologies play a critical role in making other industries more sustainable. At the same time the ICT industry needs to minimize its footprint and accelerate the use of green electricity" Nokia doesn’t list the aperture size for the 50MP main lens, but after tooling around with it for a while, I can’t imagine it’s particularly great. If the lighting conditions are decent, images are mostly acceptable, with well-balanced exposure and natural colours, but I wasn’t impressed by the overall level of detail for a 50MP lens. Battery has limited recharge cycles and battery capacity reduces over time. Eventually the battery may need to be replaced. If that was the experience in good lighting, you can imagine the results after dark. To its credit, the artificial brightening is somewhat effective, but it’s riddled with excessive visual noise and still quite blurry, to the point where it’s not really worth bothering with. Plus, those lens flares are just ridiculous.

The battery testing was conducted using a real-life usage test by HMD Global. The test included active usage of a device for 5 hours per day with a new battery. Usage included e.g. gaming, video streaming, calling, sending SMS, browsing and using apps (such as social media, news, navigation and music). The test was conducted with normal device settings in a lit indoor environment. The device was left on standby overnight. The camera is deliberately low-res for a vintage feel, which would be fair enough, but as my laptop didn’t recognise the 2660 and my iPhone couldn’t connect via bluetooth, those retro shots will forever remain within that matt plastic casing. The 3-day battery testing was conducted using a real-life usage test by HMD Global. The test included active usage of a device for 5 hours per day with a new battery. Usage included e.g. gaming, video streaming, calling, sending sms, browsing and using apps (such as social media, news, navigation and music). The test was conducted with normal device settings in a lit indoor environment. The device was left on standby overnight. For users who are truly after a basic ‘dumb’ phone, it does the job. You can call and send messages, play a game while waiting for a train, drop it in the rain and forget to charge it most nights. Nokia’s ReefShark powered plug-in cards cut power consumption by up to 75%, while its FP5 routing silicon reduces power consumption by 75% compared to previous generations. New cooling systems developed by Nokia for energy-intensive base stations can reduce energy use by roughly 70%.

According to research by Nokia and GSMA Intelligence, annual productivity and energy-saving gains of 10–20% can be realized through the conversion to smart factories. The Nokia X10 achieves this through a bundled compostable case and removing the charger, but is a sustainability focus enough to help it rise above the rest? Nokia X10 review: What you need to know Portrait mode proved to be a pleasant surprise, with edge detection working quite well, and the included macro cam proved to capture the occasional decent image – though this took a lot of effort to achieve. Low-light performance was competent, too, but it won’t challenge the more premium competition any time soon.Improved connectivity at offshore wind farms can improve safety, allowing workers to operate safely to their full capacity, as well as enabling early detection and prevention of wind turbine failure with remote monitoring, control and inspections. The screen on the Nokia X10 may be big in size, but it’s certainly not in ambition. While the competition are adopting high-refresh panels, with boosted resolutions and AMOLED tech as standard, the 6.67in offering on the X10 remains average in almost every regard. From the 1080p resolution to the bog-standard 60Hz refresh, there’s not much on offer here to outdo the competition.
