What's our thoughts on the Nokia Nokia 5?

Review Overview
The Nokia 5 is a mid-range smartphone from the iconic brand which performs decently in its price category. It features a solid build quality and a clean, almost stock Android interface which should appeal to purists. However, its average camera and power performance may not impress users looking for high functionality in these areas.

Overall Score: 3.4/5

Price 3.0/5

Price: 4/5
With its competitive pricing, the Nokia 5 offers a decent range of features for its cost. It successfully fits into the budget smartphone category, offering basic functionalities without breaking the bank. If you're looking for affordable quality, the Nokia 5 could be an excellent choice.

Cameras 3.0/5

Camera: 3/5
The Nokia 5's 13MP rear camera and 8MP front camera are adequate for basic photography. However, they lack the advanced features and stellar performance found in high-end smartphones. The camera's low light performance and overall image quality are also average, which is a letdown for photography enthusiasts.

Power 3.0/5

Power: 3/5
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset and 2GB of RAM, the Nokia 5's performance is satisfactory for basic tasks and light multitasking. However, it struggles with heavy apps and high-end games, leading to a somewhat underwhelming power performance.

Battery Life 3.0/5

Battery: 3.5/5
The 3000mAh battery in the Nokia 5 is capable of powering the device through a day of moderate usage. While it may not impress power users, it is in line with what most mid-range smartphones offer.
