We're impressed by the Nokia 5, particularly when considering the price tag. It's good-looking with decent specs and we love addition of Android without overcomplicating it with any sort of overlay. We expect the Nokia 5 could become a really popular choi...

Nokia's strategy is to offer a selection of affordable Android smartphones, carrying that Nokia name and giving you a no compromise design and build. That's been achieved and although we don't think that the Nokia 5 is as good looking as the Nokia 6, ther...
Noticeable lags in daily usage, Sub-par cameras, Overpriced considering the competition
With the Nokia 5, HMD Global has gone back to the basics, and the mainstays of the device are the stock Android software and solid build quality. However, the smartphone lacks in other critical departments. Performance is sub-par for its category – the Sn...
Affordable price, Great design for the price, Smooth, stock-like software experience
Just 16 GB of storage, 2 GB of RAM and Snapdragon processor aren't the fastest, Photos come out dark, blurry, or over-exposed, Only 720p screen resolution

high-quality case, many LTE bands, dual SIM slot, Android 7.1, fingerprint sensor, good 13-MP camera, bright HD display, long battery life, low temperature development
only 16 GB storage, no USB Type-C connection, display has a blue tint, light halos in a black display
Great design and build quality, Good battery life, Android software is clean and uptodate, Reliable fingerprint scanner, Decent video recording
Performance is underwhelming, slow to load, Hit and miss photo quality, Limited internal storage
All things considered, the Nokia 5 is a pretty smartphone that comes with a clean and up-to-date software, but ultimately disappoints in terms of performance. Some people will undoubtedly find it – as well as its €190 ($222) price tag – appealing, but it...

Long battery life, Smart, Lumia-like design, Vanilla Android, NFC
No Full HD, Limited performance, No Type-C USB
The Nokia 5 certainly gives a good first impression, with its shiny metal unibody, nostalgic design and low asking price. Boot it up and you're presented with a clean version of Android Nougat, along with expandable storage for filling the phone with your...
