[Review] Nokia 5: what is it like?

HDM Global showed up at the Mobile World Congress 2017 with 3 smartphones that debut on the market with the latest version of Android, 7.1.1. Among these there is also Nokia 5, an elegant device with display from 5,2 inches that we got to try for a few days.

In the palm of your hand

Nokia 5 consists of a cunibody body in aluminum and Corning Gorilla Glass that protects the IPS LCD screen. A combination that will captivate you immediately since, on the one hand, we have a resistant phone that is based on the famous Nokia know-how and, on the other hand, we are in our hands an ergonomic and comfortable device to use even with a single hand.

On the other hand, it is appreciable the battery from 3.000 mAh that yes, on paper it doesn't seem like much, but in practice it turned out to be one of the real strengths of this Nokia 5. In fact, the manufacturer has been able to optimize the device to the fullest, which will allow you to easily get to the end of the day.

An unconvincing camera

What has not convinced us is the rear camera of this smartphone. Nokia 5 shows up with a 13 megapixel sensor, accompanied by the Dual Tone Flash LED, autofocus and HDR. But unfortunately the yield is not exactly what we hoped for. The shots taken in conditions of good brightness (albeit with sometimes not very saturated and realistic colors) are saved, but those in the dark or in dim light are absolutely rejected.

The interface also left us with a few too many question marks. Every now and then made it feels a bit slow and not very fluid, but it makes up for it with an evening of options that are as interesting as they are unusual.
