For a budget-friendly phone, the Nokia 5 looks and feels rather premium. But for many, it's what's on the inside that counts, and that's where the phone's lower price starts to become evident.
Pros:
  • Affordable price Great design for the price Smooth
  • stock-like software experience
Cons:
  • Just 16 GB of storage 2 GB of RAM and Snapdragon processor aren't the fastest Photos come out dark

Nokia 5

There's a lot to like about Nokia's midrange Nokia 5 handset. Its slim, metal design is very comfortable to hold and looks smart. There's not much of a bezel around the display either, which means the body hasn't had to balloon out too much to accommodate its 5.2-inch display.
Pros:
  • The Nokia 5 is affordable
  • looks good and has a battery that won't quit on you before the day's done
Cons:
  • It's only powerful enough for the essentials and the camera doesn't take brilliant shots
