NotebookCheck | Manuel Masiero

The fast and well-built, stylish Nokia 5 is a good mid-range smartphone, that offers a lot for a relatively low price.

With a neat design, a low price and power enough for the essentials, the Nokia 5 is budget Android done well.

Nokia has delivered a reasonably competitive mid-range handset, although we do have a slight concern over battery life.

Android Authority | Adam Sinicki

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.

If you don't necessarily need a high-end smartphone and are looking for a well-equipped, solid smartphone, then the Nokia 5 will definitely pique your interest.

TechRadar | John McCann

It's the best-looking phone at its price point, but isn't as sharp in use as its rivals. Battery life struggles when pushed, and load times can be lengthy.

Forbes | David Phelan

The Nokia 5 is a smasher with deeply attractive design, great build quality and decent performance. Sure, it's not a flagship phone. But the overwhelming feeling I'm left with is that it does better than the price point suggests.

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

The Nokia 5 certainly gives a good first impression. Rivals boast sharper screens and more capable camera tech too, although this handset will satisfy anyone wanting to stream YouTube clips on the go and generally produces good-looking photos.

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 price tag – appealing, but it certainly isn't the best budget phone on the market.

Expert Reviews | Christopher Minasians

The Nokia 5 is an attractive phone, but it lacks a standout feature that would justify choosing it over other phones in this price range.

The Nokia 5 should be on your shortlist if you're interested in a pure Android interface with timely security patches and updates, but if a powerful daily driver is more suitable, I'd advise you to look elsewhere.
