The middle model in the family of new smartphones from the former Finnish brand

Last spring, during the MWC 2017 exhibition, simultaneously with the reincarnation of the legendary Nokia 3310, new smartphones Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 were also announced. As is known, the rights to smartphones and phones under the Nokia brand in this moment is owned by HMD Global, which calls itself “The Home for Nokia Phones.”

The production of new models is directly carried out by the famous Chinese company Foxconn, in whose factories both Apple smartphones. More precisely, the production of Nokia smartphones is carried out by one of the company’s factories, which is located in India. In total, three models have been released in the updated Nokia family: Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6. We will begin our acquaintance with them with optimal option: Let's look at the Nokia 5 smartphone, which is not the most expensive, but not the weakest in terms of technical characteristics, occupying the middle position in the line.

Contents of delivery

A single packaging design was chosen for the entire new Nokia line. This is a fairly simple flat box made of thin cardboard, brightly decorated in a youthful way. It looks inexpensive, but has its own specific style.

The kit consists of a connecting cable and network adapter with output current 2 A and maximum voltage 5 V and useless plastic headphones without rubber pads that do not stay in the ears. The metal key for removing cards is mounted on a cardboard insert as standard.

Appearance and ease of use

Design is one of the strongest points of the Nokia 5 model. This inexpensive, essentially, smartphone with ordinary characteristics looks much more expensive than its level. The case, designed in a minimalist style, is made entirely of metal using the milling method. The durable frame also has a matte, smooth, pleasant-to-touch finish that does not leave fingerprints.

In terms of proportions and dimensions, Nokia 5 is a medium-sized smartphone, small and thin, although not so light. By today's standards, it can even be called elegant. The sides and ends are noticeably rounded, and for external antennas the usual grooves are made not on the back panel, but on the ends themselves; they are almost invisible.

Due to its small size, the smartphone is generally comfortable to hold in the hand, but its smooth, streamlined surfaces can be quite slippery. Most likely, all this beauty will have to be hidden in protective case so as not to drop your smartphone on the floor.

The elongated module with a camera and flash located on the rear panel, covered with glass and surrounded by a thin chrome rim, also looks stylish. The flash consists of two multi-colored LEDs and shines incredibly brightly - Nokia 5 has one of the brightest flashlights we've ever seen in a smartphone.

No above the screen LED indicator events. Front flash no, its role for the selfie camera is played by the backlight of the screen itself, which turns on a second before shooting; this is a common solution.

At the bottom there are backlit touch buttons, and the time of their illumination can be manually adjusted at your discretion. The central touch button is not backlit, it is not mechanical, and has a built-in fingerprint scanner pad.

There are no complaints about the scanner’s performance; recognition occurs clearly and quickly. The finger can be placed at any angle, up to 5 fingerprints are stored. The central touch button itself works as usual: a short touch returns to home screen, long - call Google Now.

The installation of cards into the smartphone body is not quite customary. There is not a single hybrid connector, but two different ones: one has two slots for Nano-SIM cards, and the second is completely dedicated to microSD memory cards. It's very convenient, you don't have to sacrifice anything. Considering the very elegant and thin body of the Nokia 5, it is sad to say that manufacturers are not resorting to the notorious hybrid connectors due to lack of space - they are simply saving on user comfort, reducing their costs. Against this background, Nokia's decision evokes only respect.

The buttons on the opposite side are small and metal. They have, perhaps, a stiffer action than we would like, but the response to pressing is very clear, there are no special complaints about the buttons.

The main speaker is located at the bottom end, where the microphone hole and USB connector are also located. Everything would be fine, but the use of Micro-USB begins to surprise: the general course is clearly taken to the use of connectors USB Type-C, so why delay the transition? You'll have to do it someday anyway...

The top end is given over to a 3.5 mm audio output for headphones. The auxiliary microphone hole is located a little further, on the rear surface, closer to the camera module, which is logical.

Nokia 5 comes in four different colors: deep blue (indigo), black, silver and copper. The front panel under the glass remains the same color for both dark and light cases: it is always black.

Screen

Nokia 5 is equipped with an IPS display covered with 2.5D Gorilla Glass with sloping edges. The physical dimensions of the screen are 65x115 mm, diagonal - 5.2 inches. The resolution is 1280x720, the pixel density is only about 282 ppi. The frame around the screen is standard: on the sides it has a total width of 3.5 mm, at the bottom and top - 17 mm.

The display brightness can be adjusted manually or using automatic settings, based on the operation of the ambient light sensor. The AnTuTu test diagnoses support for 10 simultaneous multi-touch touches.

A detailed examination using measuring instruments was carried out by the section editor “ Monitors" And " Projectors and TV » Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface that is scratch-resistant. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are better than those of the screen Google Nexus 7 (2013)(hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photograph in which a white surface is reflected in the switched off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Nokia 5, then they can be distinguished by size):

The Nokia 5's screen is slightly darker (photo brightness is 107 versus 118 for the Nexus 7). The ghosting of reflected objects in the Nokia 5 screen is very weak, this indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS - One Glass Solution type screen). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of intense external illumination, but their repair in the case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be replaced. The outer surface of the screen has a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (better in efficiency than that of the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed much more easily and appear at a lower speed than with regular glass.

When manually controlling brightness and when outputting white field full screen the maximum brightness value was about 530 cd/m², the minimum - 2 cd/m². The maximum brightness is very high and, given the excellent anti-glare properties, readability even on a sunny day outdoors should be at good level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. There is automatic brightness adjustment based on the light sensor (it is located to the right of the front speaker slot). IN automatic mode When external lighting conditions change, the screen brightness both increases and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment slider. If it is 100%, then in complete darkness the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 37 cd/m² (normal), in an artificially lit office (about 550 lux) it sets it to 160 cd/m² (suitable), in a very bright environment (corresponding to lighting on a clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight— 20,000 lux or a little more) brightness increases to 530 cd/m² (to the maximum, that’s how it’s needed); if the adjustment is approximately 50%, then the values are as follows: 22, 90 and 380 cd/m² (the first and third values are underestimated), the regulator at 0% is 2, 40 and 190 cd/m² (all three values are underestimated, which is logical). It turns out that the auto-brightness function works adequately and to some extent allows the user to customize their work to individual requirements. Only at very low brightness levels does significant backlight modulation appear, but its frequency is high, about 2.2 kHz, so even in this case there is no visible screen flicker.

This smartphone uses an IPS matrix. The microphotographs show a typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, you can see microphoto gallery screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without significant color shift even with large viewing deviations from perpendicular to the screen and without inverting shades. For comparison, here are photographs in which identical images are displayed on the screens of Nokia 5 and Nexus 7, while the screen brightness is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m², and the color balance on the camera is forcibly switched to 6500 K.

There is a white field perpendicular to the screens:

Let us note the good (of course, imperfect) uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field.

And a test picture:

The color saturation on the Nokia 5 screen is normal, the colors are close to natural, although the color contrast is a little too high. The color balance between the Nexus 7 and the screen we tested was slightly different.

Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, but on Nokia 5 the contrast has decreased to a greater extent due to the strong brightening of black.

And a white field:

The brightness at an angle of the screens decreased (by at least 5 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but Nokia screen 5 at this angle is still a little lighter. When deviated diagonally, the black field brightens greatly and acquires a bluish or reddish tint. The photographs below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same!):

And from another angle:

When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the black field is poor:

The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is normal - about 840:1. The black-white-black response time is 23 ms (13 ms on + 10 ms off). The transition between halftones of gray 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes a total of 37 ms. The gamma curve, constructed using 32 points with equal intervals based on the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal any blockage in either the highlights or the shadows. The exponent of the approximating power function is 2.36, which is higher than the standard value of 2.2, but in this case it does not matter much. In this case, the real gamma curve deviates somewhat from the power-law dependence:

We did not detect the presence of dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness in accordance with the nature of the displayed image, which is very good.

Color gamut is almost equal to sRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix filters moderately mix the components with each other:

As a result, visually the colors on this screen are almost no different from natural ones, almost, since the color contrast is a little too high. The balance of shades on the gray scale is not very good, since in light shades the color temperature is not much higher than the standard 6500 K, and the deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) is below 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device. However, at the same time, color temperature and ΔE change greatly towards dark shades - this negatively affects the visual assessment of color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

Let's summarize. The screen has a very high maximum brightness and has excellent anti-glare properties, so the device can be used outdoors even on a sunny summer day without any problems. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. It is also possible to use a mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works adequately. The advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, the absence of air gaps in the layers of the screen and flicker, and a color gamut close to sRGB. The disadvantages are the low stability of black to the deviation of the gaze from perpendicular to the screen plane, poor uniformity of the black field and some overestimation of color contrast. Nevertheless, taking into account the importance of characteristics for this particular class of devices, the quality of the screen can be considered high.

Camera

The front module of the Nokia 5 has a sensor with a resolution of 8 megapixels and a relatively wide-angle lens (84°) with an f/2.0 aperture, with automatic focus and without its own flash. The role of the flash is played by the backlight of the screen itself; it can be forced to be activated when using this function.

There is a portrait retouching mode with several degrees of effect saturation. The quality of selfie shots itself is good: the image has good field-of-frame sharpness and detail, color rendition is correct, and object distortion is not that strong, given the wide-angle optics designed for group shots.

The main camera uses a module with a 13-megapixel matrix with a pixel size of 1.12 microns and a lens with an f/2.0 aperture. The camera is equipped with fast phase detection autofocus (PDAF). The flash is dual two-color and shines very brightly.

The control menu is organized simply, all settings are collected in one long drop-down list. There are not a lot of settings; the choice of aspect ratio and photo and video resolution for both cameras can be immediately set in a single subsection of the menu, which is convenient. You can manually adjust white balance, perform exposure compensation, select focusing options - or all this can be left to the auto-detection of scene modes.

The camera can shoot video at maximum Full resolution HD @30 fps, no stabilization function. Shooting handheld while on the move isn't smooth, but otherwise the camera handles video shooting well. The image is bright, there are no complaints about sharpness and color rendition. The sound is recorded quite well.

Video No. 1(28 MB, 1920×1080@30 fps, H.264, AAC)
Video No. 2(33 MB, 1920×1080@30 fps, H.264, AAC)

	The camera does well in low-light macro photography.
	Good detail in shadows.
	The camera copes with macro photography.
	Good detail in the background.
	The text is well done.
	Good sharpness across the frame field.
	The detail and sharpness of the plans are good.

The camera can be called almost flagship, it is noticeably better camera, used in Nokia 3. The detail of the images is adequate, distant plans almost do not merge, and even in the shadows the camera captures details well. Text and macro shots, perhaps, cannot be called ideal. However, the camera will cope well with documentary and artistic photography.

Telephone and communications

The communication capabilities of Nokia 5 are quite satisfactory. Multiple ranges supported LTE frequencies FDD, including 3 bands of interest to us (band 3, 7, 20), as well as two TDD LTE bands. In the city limits of the Moscow region, the device behaves confidently, the quality of signal reception does not cause any complaints.

In addition, both Wi-Fi bands (2.4 and 5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.1 are supported. The device has an NFC module installed, which works successfully with the Troika travel card. It is possible to connect external devices To USB port V USB mode OTG.

The phone application supports Smart Dial, the methods for sorting and displaying contacts are standard for Android interface, there is a blacklist for unwanted contacts(can be added to the list of blocked numbers).

Software and multimedia

As software platform Nokia 5 uses the latest Android OS version 7.1.1 - naturally, with the possibility of over-the-air updates. This is one of the most curious moments associated with new Nokia smartphones. The creators decided to abandon all sorts of experiments with shells and are now proud to announce that their devices run on an absolutely “pure” Android OS. Moreover, HMD Global was so keen on this topic that they promised all three smartphones, as well as the recently introduced flagship Nokia 8 quick update to Android O (Android 8). Prior to this, only OnePlus, among third-party companies, announced that its previously released OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T smartphones would be updated to the eighth version of the operating system. Android systems after its release.

There are practically no third-party programs here; everything necessary is achieved with using Google Apps.

To listen to music, use the standard Google Music player with sound settings and built-in equalizer presets. Both in headphones and through the speaker, the device sounds loud and clear, the sound is pleasant to the ear, thick and rich. There is only one main speaker in the device, but thanks to the TFA9891 amplifier it sounds quite powerful.

There is also an FM radio, but there is no built-in voice recorder in the smartphone.

Performance

The Nokia 5 hardware platform is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 single-chip system, made using 28-nanometer technology. This SoC includes eight 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of up to 1.4 GHz. The Adreno 505 GPU is responsible for graphics processing. Volume random access memory is 2 GB, and built-in flash memory is 16 GB. Of these, less than 9 GB of storage and no more than 850 MB of RAM are free.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 platform has already received a successor in the form of Snapdragon 435, but here, unfortunately, an outdated version is installed. There are actually quite a lot of differences between these two Qualcomm SoCs: at least, due to the old platform, Nokia 5 does not support LTE Cat.6. However, in terms of performance there is almost no difference between them; both platforms produce approximately 45K points in AnTuTu, which is below the average level. Snapdragon 430 is significantly slower than other currently popular mid-level mobile platforms, such as MediaTek Helio P10, Kirin 655 and especially Snapdragon 625.

However, in real use scenarios, this SoC is still enough to perform basic tasks, you can even play games. Modern Kombat X hardly slows down, other games run even smoother. However, Nokia 5 does not have power reserves for future updates.

Testing in comprehensive tests AnTuTu and GeekBench:

For convenience, we have compiled all the results we obtained when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks into tables. The table usually adds several other devices from different segments, also tested on similar latest versions benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the obtained dry figures). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison it is impossible to present the results from different versions benchmarks, so many worthy and current models- due to the fact that at one time they went through an “obstacle course” on previous versions test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in gaming tests 3DMark, GFXBenchmark and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark, the most powerful smartphones now have the ability to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (which can cause the speed to rise above 60 fps).

	Nokia 5 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 430)	Moto E4 Plus (MediaTek (MT6737)	HTC One X10 (MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755))	Honor 6X (HiSilicon Kirin 655)	Asus Zenfone 3 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 625)
3DMark Ice Storm Sling Shot ES 3.1 (more is better)	299	99	421	378	466

GFXBenchmark T-Rex ES 2.0 (1080p Offscreen, fps)	16	6	17	19	23

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowance for the fact that their results significantly depend on the browser in which they are launched, so the comparison can only be truly correct on the same OS and browsers, and this is possible during testing not always. For Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

AndroBench memory speed test results:

Thermal photographs

Below is a thermal image rear surface obtained after 10 minutes of battery testing in the GFXBenchmark program:

Heating is more localized in the upper part of the device, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat chamber, the maximum heating was 34 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), which is relatively little.

Playing video

To test omnivorousness when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Internet. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern options using processor cores alone. Also, don't expect mobile device decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are summarized in a table.

Format	Container, video, sound	MX Video Player	Standard video player
1080p H.264	MKV, H.264 1920×1080, 24 fps, AAC		plays normally
1080p H.264	MKV, H.264 1920×1080, 24 fps, AC3	plays normally (HW)	The video plays fine, there is no sound
1080p H.265	MKV, H.265 1920×1080, 24 fps, AAC		not playable
1080p H.265	MKV, H.265 1920×1080, 24 fps, AC3	plays normally only with a software decoder (SW)	not playable

Further testing of video playback was performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find the MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see “Methodology for testing video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices) Red marks indicate possible problems related to the playback of the corresponding files.

According to the frame output criterion, the quality of playback of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since in most cases frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required) be output with more or less uniform alternation of intervals and without skipping frames. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels (720p) on a smartphone screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly along the border of the screen, one to one in pixels, that is, in the original resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235: in the shadows, about a couple of shades merge with black, and in the highlights all gradations are displayed.

Battery life

Fixed accumulator battery, installed in Nokia 5, does not have the largest capacity of 3000 mAh. However, even with such a battery, the device demonstrated a very decent level of autonomy; there are no complaints about this parameter to the hero of the review. In real-life usage scenarios, the smartphone gets through an eventful day without much difficulty before charging overnight.

Testing has traditionally been carried out at normal power consumption levels without using power-saving functions, although the smartphone naturally has them.

Continuous reading in the Moon+ Reader program (with a standard, light theme) at a minimum comfortable brightness level (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) with auto-scrolling lasted up to full discharge The battery life is about 15.5 hours, and when watching videos continuously high quality(720p) with the same brightness level through home network The Wi-Fi device operates for approximately 10.5 hours. In 3D gaming mode, the smartphone can work up to 7 hours.

From the included network adapter (output current 2 A 5 V), the smartphone is charged in approximately 2 hours 45 minutes with a current of 1.9 A at a voltage of 5 V. Wireless charger not supported.

Bottom line

Nokia 5 turned out to be quite an interesting device for its price, and the price for it cannot be called high: now in official Russian retail a certified Nokia 5 is sold for 13 thousand rubles. This stylish smartphone in a neat, thin metal casing has good screen, sounds decent, has very good shooting quality, has quite satisfactory communication capabilities, and is very good for its level in terms of battery life. There is no reason to praise the power of the hardware platform, but for such a price it is not a failure. And given the people's love for the Finnish brand, perhaps something will come of the next revival of the legendary brand. At the very least, HMD Global seems to be very determined, and Nokia brand fans are ready to support it.
