Nokia was once the biggest phone company in the world. How times change. In 2020 it is seeing a renaissance as a budget- to mid-range Android player, with a few premium handsets thrown in for good measure.
Nokia was once the biggest phone company in the world. How times change. In 2020 it is seeing a renaissance as a budget- to mid-range Android player, with a few premium handsets thrown in for good measure.
Nokia phones are actually made by fellow Finnish company HMD Global, who licenses the use of the Nokia name. When we first heard about the partnership we were sceptical, but it has proven to be an excellent one – we now find ourselves reviewing several excellent Nokia smartphones every year.
It means there’s a wide choice of Nokia phones for you if you have your heart set on one, but the huge range can be confusing. That’s why we’ve ranked the eight best Nokia phones for most people below.
We’ve fully reviewed each and listed the pros and cons so you can see which has the best features and price for your needs and budget. Plus Nokia phones all have excellent clean Android software and amazingly frequent software updates, so they are a solid choice if you want a phone that lasts a good three years.
We haven’t yet reviewed the recently announced Nokia 8.3 5G, but it looks like a decent 5G option for 2020. With the Snapdragon 765G on board it could be a lower cost option than other 5G Android phones too. HMD said it’s due to be released sometime around June.
HMD also unveiled the Nokia 5.3 and Nokia 1.3, mid-range and budget options that we hope to review as soon as possible, and will no doubt appear in this chart to replace some of the older models.
