We got 4GB / 64 GB version for reviewing. Based on our usage for past few weeks, here is our review.

Nokia T10At a first glance, Nokia T10 looks good with matte finish. It weighs 375 grams and has slightly large bezels. The housing is made of polycarbonate. It looks sturdy enough and comes only in one colour – ocean blue. The audio jack and power button is present on the top which also works as google assistant. On the right side you can see volume rockers and on the left, it has hybrid sim card tray. You can see USB type c port on the bottom.  Nokia T10 comes with an IPX2 splash resistance rating, so accidental water droplets will not do any harm.

Nokia T10Nokia T10 comes with 8-inch HD display and stereo speakers with OZO playback. It comes with a resolution of 1280 x 800 and an aspect ratio of 16:10 and is fully laminated. The colour reproduction and viewing angles are very good. The brightness of the tablet is also nice. We can view the screen well in sunlight also. The stereo sound produced is quite good. We tried streaming Amazon prime videos and YouTube and the sound quality and display quality was good.

Nokia T10Nokia T10 comes with Android 12 out of the box. The face unlock works fine. The stock android experience is nice. Very few apps are preinstalled. We can find entertainment center which you can access by swiping to the left of your main home screen. You can also find Google Kids Space which is designed to nurture your kid’s curiosity and creativity, inspiring them to explore their interests through recommended apps, books, and videos. Nokia promises two versions of Android updates and three years of monthly security updates.

Google Kids Space is designed for kids and works with your child’s Google Account that parents can help manage with Family Link parental controls by setting screen time limits.

It also comes with a second screen feature to make Nokia T10 mirror its display to your PC or a Laptop.

It comes with MicroSD card slot which can be expended up to 512GB.

As far as battery is concerned, Nokia T10 comes with 5250mAh, non-removable battery. But given the display resolution and power-efficient processor, you’ll be able to use the T10 for a full working day without any issues.

Nokia T10 comes with a camera of 8MP with LED flash  in the back and 2MP in the front. The pictures we took were good.

Verdict:

If you want to have a tablet for casual usage Nokia T10 is the one. It also has voice call support and has simple and clean software experience. For video calling and streaming movies, Nokia T10 works best. Nokia T10 is also good for students who want to attend online classes.
