While stock Android is nice, the problem is that there are not enough software features to make the tablet experience better. For instance, features like ‘split-view’ would have been nice for multitasking.No, if you want a bigger screen and want a tablet that offers more productivity based. If you want a tablet with better performance, you will have to look elsewhere and prepare to spend more. If your budget is strictly limited to under Rs 15,000, then be ready to sacrifice expectations of 4G connectivity and look at options from Redmi, Realme or Oppo.The eight-inch HD+ display is adequate for watching videos, reading books on Kindle, etc, though the brightness could have been higher, especially when used in bright outdoors. It does come with Widewine L1 certification so your Netflix or Amazon Prime Video content will be streamed at HD resolution. Sure, this is not the sharpest display I’ve used in a smartphone or tablet in recent times, but then remember this is a budget option.
The Nokia T10 also comes with Android 12 and a stock UI with no unnecessary bloatware or apps. It also comes with a dedicated Google Kids Space app pre-installed to ensure that you can put more parental controls if you are buying this for your child. However, your child’s Google account, which is already supervised by you, is needed for this and will have to link to the tablet. I don’t have use for this yet, mostly because I’ve not created a dedicated Google account for my toddler, but I think many parents will find this feature useful and end up relying on this, especially if you are buying the tablet for a child.The tablet comes with a 5250 mAh battery, which should last more than a day on average if you’re really spending all day on this, which includes gaming, consuming a lot of content, etc. But with moderate usage, I’ve been able to get more than two days plus on this tablet easily. However, the 10W charging means you need to put aside three hours to get this back to 100 per cent.f you’re looking for a basic tablet, which will be good enough for video calls and can serve as a device to occasionally watch YouTube or Netflix or perhaps read a Word document, then the Nokia T10 is good enough. But if you start pushing it on the performance front, it does struggle. This is not a tablet meant for gaming, and in my experience the 16:10 aspect ratio also made games like Alto’s Odyssey appear stretched. Then again, I wasn’t expecting a great gaming performance on this one.The front camera is placed on the top bezel, so when you use the tablet for a video call in horizontal mode, you have to make sure you are sitting at the right spot to be in the frame. I wish the camera placement was on the right bezel, which would have been ideal for video calls. The tablet’s audio quality remains a very weak point. The speakers are placed at the top and bottom and at times when you are holding the tablet, you can sometimes accidentally cover these speakers, muffling the audio further.
