The Nokia T21 tablet features a 2K IPS LCD display, a massive 8,200mAh battery, and two years of guaranteed Android upgrades — making it one of HMD Global's most complete entry-level slate offerings to date. Launched in Indonesia at IDR 3,299,000 (approximately $210), the tablet is available in a single Gray color option with sales starting in December.
Nokia T21 Tablet Features: Display, Design, and Build
The Nokia T21 sports a 10.36-inch IPS LCD panel with a 2000 x 1200 pixel (2K) resolution and a peak brightness of 400 nits, delivering sharp visuals for everyday use. The chassis is constructed from aluminum and finished with a cover made from 60% recycled plastic, striking a balance between durability and environmental responsibility. HMD Global has also given the tablet an IP52 rating for basic dust and water resistance, adding a layer of everyday protection.
Performance and Storage
Under the hood, the Nokia T21 is powered by a UNISOC T612 octa-core processor paired with a Mali-G57 GPU. It comes with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and is offered in 64GB and 128GB internal storage variants — though the Indonesian market launch only carries the 64GB model. Storage can be expanded by up to 512GB via a microSD card, giving users plenty of room for apps, media, and files.
Camera Setup
The Nokia T21 carries an 8MP autofocus rear camera with an LED flash, capable of handling casual photography and document scanning. The front-facing camera is also 8MP, making it well-suited for video calls and selfies — a practical spec for a tablet in this price bracket.
Battery Life and Charging
The headline hardware spec is the 8,200mAh battery, which is designed to last through a full day of work, streaming, and browsing. The tablet supports 18W fast charging, so top-ups are reasonably quick even with such a large cell.
Software and Updates
The Nokia T21 ships with Android 12 out of the box. HMD Global has committed to two years of Android OS upgrades and three years of monthly security patches — a reassuring promise for a budget tablet and consistent with Nokia's clean-Android reputation.
