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
The Nokia 5 is a good choice if you care mainly about looks and don't want to spend an arm and a leg. However, if you care about performance, you should probably look elsewhere...

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...

The DJI Spark delivers a tiny, lightweight design; excellent mechanically stabilized camera; USB charging and advanced features like gesture controls and obstacle detection. It travels well and is great for aerial photos and video
The Gesture mode currently only takes photos. Flight time can be as short as 10 to 14 minutes. The app can be frustrating to use, especially on smaller screens. And you should expect to buy batteries and possibly the optional controller
With a neat design, a low price and power enough for the essentials, the Nokia 5 is budget Android done well...
Design and Build quality, Good display, Monthly security updates
Inconsistent camera performance, No fast charging, Average performance
The Nokia 6 is a good enough device for a lot of people, but not for everyone. It's a pity there are few misses here and there that makes it stop short of being an overall well-rounded package that one would've liked it to be...

The sticking point for me on the Nokia 5 is the SnapDragon 4XX chip processor, considered by many to be an underpowered platform aimed at a lower end price point. For the money at the Nokia 5 price point, a Snapdragon 6XX series processor is what I expect...
Great value, Great build quality, Pure version of Android that actually gets updates
Occasional performance hitches and slowdown, Hit and miss lowlight photography, Only 16GB of storage
The Nokia 5 is an affordable smartphone that nails the essentials. Occasional performance hitches aside, the $329 device feels like it could command a higher price tag, and Nokia's commitment to rolling out monthly security updates makes the Nokia 5 stand...
