Nokia has jumped hard core into the smartphone market this year, releasing several phones
-
of various powers, prices, and materials.
-
Today on my desk we have the Nokia 5 which sits comfortably between Nokia's 3 and 6,
-
which were also released this year.
-
If Nokia's not careful, they're going to run out of digits to use on their phones next
-
year.
-
Let's get started.
-
[Intro]
-
The Nokia phones are pretty inexpensive and extremely popular all over the world...but
-
also really hard to find here in the U.S.A.
-
There are a couple on Amazon that work well with the GSM networks, so I'll link those
-
in the video description.
-
This beautiful copper brown is going to be subject to my rigorous durability tests, just
-
like every other phone.
-
And it has been scratched.
-
With Gorilla Glass, though, covering the surface, there's really no surprise when the scratches
-
don't appear until a level 6.
-
Tempered glass is the standard for smartphones lately, and Nokia is using the good stuff.
-
The front facing 8 megapixel f/2.0 camera is tucked under the same glass as the screen,
-
so no damage will be happening here.
-
The earpiece is a vinyl-like material and there's no chance of it falling out, it's
-
glued in pretty tight.
-
The home button is made from glass and is scratch resistant.
-
My razor blade does nothing.
-
Normal wear and tear will do no damage to this home button.
-
It's not invincible ceramic like we saw on the OnePlus 5, but it's still pretty good.
-
And now for the back of the phone.
-
This color is actually really awesome.
-
I've never seen anything quite like it.
-
The Nokia branding is lined up with the camera lens on the center of the back.
-
And after a little analysis, I find the branding is solidly inlayed into the back panel and
-
there won't be any issues with it falling out in the future.
-
The 13 megapixel 2.0 rear camera is up here in the center.
-
It's a step up from the Nokia 3, but the fact that they used glass on this lens is a huge
-
benefit.
-
If you remember from my Nokia 3 video, it used a plastic back along with a plastic camera
-
lens, and that alone is reason enough for me to spend a bit more money and jump up to
-
the Nokia 5.
-
Never having to worry about the lens scratching is a big plus.
-
Even the flash is covered in glass.
-
Over here on the right side of the phone we have metal volume buttons and a metal power
-
button, along with, you know, some more metal down the sides.
-
On the other side of the phone, both the dual SIM and SD card trays are metal.
-
No water resistance is included, but for this price that's kind of expected.
-
The top of the phone right here next to the headphone jack is all plastic, probably for
-
the cell signal, but at the same time, the corners of the phone are most likely to hit
-
the ground first during a drop.
-
And the plastic corners are more forgiving and pliable than metal is.
-
Nokia has built their phones with useful features that won't break on the first drop – unlike
-
some other extremely fragile devices released from Apple this year.
-
The color of the phone is super unique.
-
The aluminum body looks and feels pristine.
-
And look, I drew a graph of Bitcoin, or you know, if you flip it over on the side, it's
-
Donald Trump's approval ratings, starting at birth.
-
Down here at the bottom of the phone we have more strategically placed plastic, along with
-
the micro USB charging port.
-
That is one thing I hope Nokia changes across the board next year.
-
USB should be a thing.
-
The 720p 5.2 inch IPS LCD display does seem a bit dim.
-
It's currently maxed out on brightness at the moment, but the screen did last for 10
-
seconds under the heat from my flame, which scientifically means that if you hold a lighter
-
to your phone that it'll survive for 10 seconds.
-
Seems to happen to me on a regular basis.
-
And now for the bend test – slightly more useful than the burn test.
-
We get to see the internal structure and build quality of the Nokia phones - applicable to
-
drops, bends, bumps, tight pants, and basically everything else in life.
-
And Nokia once again, has built a beast.
-
Even when bent from the front and the back, nothing flexes and nothing is disfigured.
-
No kinks or bends.
-
Nokia has proven that phones don't need to be expensive to be solidly built.
-
I've tested the Nokia's 3, 5, 6, and 8 now, and all of them have passed.
-
It will be interesting to see what Nokia does next year now that they're run out of numbers
-
to use, but either way, hit that subscribe button and we'll find out together.
-
Thanks a ton for watching and I'll see you around.
-
And if you made it to the end of the video, let me know in the comments which is better,
-
Harry Potter or Star Wars?
-
I'm curious.
