Surprisingly premium metal design; The latest stock Android software; Fingerprint scanner provides security

Photos can be a little dark; Storage fills up fast; microSD card a must; Load times can be sluggish

Someone once said that budget phones are getting better and premium devices are getting cheaper, and whether we agree or not, the Nokia 5 – one of the series of devices released by HMD Global – is a budget smartphone with plenty of surprises.

Nokia 5 is priced Rs 12,499 and comes with great build quality along with the stock Android. And the good things end there. With an average performance and poor camera abilities and high pricing, the Nokia 5 is definitely not the best option for a phone in the sub 15K INR pricing especially with...

Nokia's return to the handset scene is now well and truly underway. The comeback started with the retro Nokia 3310 , and continued with the Nokia 3 , 5 and 6 . The most recent development is the announcement of the flagship Nokia 8 .

Top-notch hardware design and build quality; Fingerprint sensor; Stock Android with no UI overlay or bloatware

Moderate performance; Screen resolution could be higher; Poor audio quality from single speaker

After Microsoft acquired, and subsequent rebranded, Nokia a few years ago, we all thought we had seen the last of the iconic mobile phone brand. While we had all grown up using phones built by the legendary Finnish mobile phone maker, various mistakes and a concerted effort by Microsoft to promote...

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.

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

With a very affordable price tag, the Nokia 5 offers terrific value for your money. Even its design stands out for a smartphone in this price range, but can it also impress in day-to-day use Find out in our Nokia 5 review.

Beautifully designed; Dual-SIM; Android 7.1.1 Nougat

Poor camera; Mediocre performance

You cannot expect much from a smartphone listed for 200 Euros (~$236), can you The Nokia 5 proves exactly the opposite, offering quite a bit in terms of features and performance. You get a quite fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 octa-core SoC, a very bright HD display, LTE Cat.4 covering a wide range of...

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

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 certainly isn't the best budget phone on the...

Great design and build quality; Good battery life; Android software is clean and up-to-date; Reliable fingerprint scanner; Decent video recording

Performance is underwhelming; slow to load; Hit and miss photo quality; Limited internal storage

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 apps and media collection.

Long battery life; Smart; Lumia-like design; Vanilla Android; NFC
