For less than £200, the Nokia 5.1 is certainly a tempting option for those on a budget. It looks stylish, is comfortable to use and boasts a gorgeous 18:9 display with a higher resolution than some flagship smartphones, but the performance isn’t the best that we’ve seen. There’s a slight delay opening and closing apps, though in-app performance is much smoother. One department it can’t compete in is game performance; it’s okay with basic 2D games but frankly isn’t up to the task of running something like PUBG Mobile.

The Nokia 5.1 is an imperfect smartphone that nevertheless offers best-in-class design and screen, despite poor performance and battery life. It's also very affordable.

Fantastic screen for the price; Bloatware free UI; Rich design;

Mediocre camera; Occasional lag; Mono speaker;

HMD Global has already released an impressive eight phones under the Nokia name this year and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. This has included five models at MWC and the latest three releases: the Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1 and, the most interesting of the bunch, the Nokia 5.1.

Great looking phone, very slim and stylish in tempered blue. Unlike apple and Samsung the Nokia 5 doesn't come loaded with bloatware and irritating ads. Everything runs smoothly. So far very reliable and so uncomplicated to get to know and use. Would highly recommend.

Nokia is heading into the summer with three budget-friendly phones -- all under 189 euros or roughly $221, £165 or AU$290. The Nokia 5.1, 3.1 and 2.1 phones for 2018 refresh last year's models enough to compete with handsets like the Motorola G6 ($249) and the Alcatel 3V ($150).

Psst, one of them has an enormous, two-day battery.

UPDATE: Nokia has now discontinued the original Nokia 5 (reviewed below) and replaced it with the Nokia 5.1. The new phone brings a number of changes, of which the most noticeable are the phone's display and the placement of the fingerprint sensor, which has been moved from the front of the phone to...

Love this new phone, so glad to be going back to a Nokia, and tried out Sony Xperia L1 but didn't like the sound quality. This phone is intuitive and much more suited to me. : )

Great phone for anyone looking for a mid range smartphone at a good price, does everything I need it to, fast connection to the internet, easy to use, battery lasts a day or more

The Nokia 5 was launched by HMD Global at MWC 2017 in February. You'd be forgiven for wondering who HMD Global is, but the company has made a huge splash this year by launching four phones with the Nokia brand: the wonderfully nostalgic Nokia 3310 as well as three budget and mid-range Android phones...
