HMD T21 tablet now official

HMD has quietly unveiled a couple of rebranded devices, including the HMD T21 tablet. This is essentially the same device as the Nokia T21 (launched in 2022), but with a rather drastic price jump.

It retains the same 10.36-inch 2K IPS LCD panel, powered by the UNISOC T612 processor, and packs an 8,200mAh battery with 18W charging.

One key difference lies in the software. The HMD T21 runs the newer Android 13 with the promise of up to two major OS upgrades.
