HMD T21

A tidy tablet that delivers the essentials

- ELLORA DASGUPTA

HMD Global reentered the tablet market in 2021 with the Nokia T20, a reliable, budget-friendly device known for its clean software, sturdy build, and strong battery life. Its successor, the HMD T21, refines this formula with enhancements in durability, design, and utility, making it a solid upgrade.

The T21 brings a more premium feel with its charcoal grey aluminum body, replacing the T20's blue finish. At just 7.5 mm thick and weighing around 467g, it's sleek and easy to carry. It also boasts IP52 certification for light dust and water resistance—rare in this price range.
