Nokia is forging its own way in the tablet world with affordable, stylish devices and having launched the original T20 back in 2021, it's back with a successor - the T21. What also sets its Android devices apart is the promise of two years of OS and three years of security upgrades, something you'll struggle to find at the same price point.
I reviewed the tablet's little brother - the T10 - last year and was left really impressed so I was looking forward to trying out the larger version. The first thing you'll be struck by is the design, which looks and - more importantly - feels premium. To the rear, you'll find a tough aluminum body in a charcoal grey, while to the front you've got a wide 10.36ins, 5:3 ratio screen. You'll also find back bezels but they look a lot skinnier than on the T10 and so aren't as noticeable.
The screen is pretty decent - especially for a tablet that you can pick up for £199 - and protected by toughened glass. It's a little dimmer than the previous version but I found it plenty of bright enough in indoor situations. You might be struggling outside or in direct sunlight, however. HD movies played well and this is where the 'widescreen' look really excelled.
