With zero compromises on the phone’s performance, Nokia X30 5G comes with premium features including our best-ever PureView photography as well as a 6.43” AMOLED PureDisplay that’s designed to better fit in your hand, pocket, or purse. Plus, it’s protected by the ultra-tough Corning® Gorilla® Glass display.

Gopher Ogembo, Senior Business Manager, HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones said: “At HMD Global, home of Nokia phones, we are delighted to introduce a phone that is eco-friendly to its core. Not only does Nokia X30 5G deliver the best Pureview photography, but it is also the best phone we have ever made. Nokia X30 5G combines our passion for helping our users keep their devices for longer.

Designed in Finland and built from a 100 percent recycled aluminum frame and a 65 percent recycled plastic back, Nokia X30 5G is our most eco-friendly smartphone yet, right through to the box it comes in.

Less plastic, fewer chemicals, more good stuff. The reduced packaging size – made possible by our decision to remove chargers from the X-series to tackle e-waste – saves on transportation CO2 emissions.

Using 100% FSC certified and 70% recycled paper boxes, we are promoting responsible forestry and supporting the circular economy. This all means that Nokia X30 5G delivers the smallest eco-footprint of a Nokia phone to date

Take breathtaking imagery with the big pixel 50MP PureView camera which uses AI and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to capture content in even higher detail. It’s complete with an all-new, intuitive dropdown menu giving you faster access to the most used camera settings.

Capture Fusion brings the power of the main camera to your ultra-wide-angle shots, for more details in the center of the picture, while Night Mode 2.0, with Dark Vision, Tripod Mode, and Night Selfie, gives you sharper and more vibrant shots, even after sundown.

The camera is also protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass with DX+, permitting 98% of all light through the lens to deliver industry-leading optical performance and scratch resistance. Because the more light you get in, the better images you get out.

Sporting the best display on a Nokia phone yet, Nokia X30 5G with its 6.43” 90Hz PureDisplay delivers a smoother, more responsive experience. The AMOLED PureDisplay technology means more brightness and vibrant colours to make streaming, scrolling, browsing, and holding the device, a joy.
