Verdict

The Nokia T21 WiFi is a budget-friendly 10.36-inch tablet featuring a 2K (1200 x 2000) IPS LCD display, a Unisoc T612 octa-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage expandable up to 512GB via microSD. It is housed in a durable aluminum body with an IP52 rating and is powered by a large 8200mAh battery supporting 18W fast charging. Key advantages include its premium build quality, long-lasting battery life of up to three days, stereo speakers with OZO Playback, and support for active pens and second-screen functionality. However, it suffers from sluggish performance in demanding apps or heavy multitasking, a relatively dim screen for outdoor use, average 8MP cameras, and the lack of a wall charger included in the box.
