Nokia 5.1 Plus review: Most balanced smartphone at a killer price


Business Standard: Nokia, a brand owned by Finnish start-up HMD Global, recently refreshed its Nokia 5-series with a notch-based screen. In retrospective, this is the same series that marked the beginning of Nokia smartphone with Google Android operating system. This series has since then been upgraded thrice – from Nokia 5 to Nokia 5.1 and now Nokia 5.1 Plus. With every successive upgrade, the Nokia 5-branded smartphone has become better, and the new Nokia 5.1 Plus has turned out to be one of the most balanced smartphones in its segment.

Design

The Nokia 5.1 Plus has a glass on the front and back and a thick glossy frame sandwiched in between them. The chassis is thick and has a curved profile that makes it easy to hold in hand. However, the glossy paint job and glass build attract fingerprints easily, therefore requires regular cleaning. At first impressions, the front of the phone, with the screen turned off, looks similar to the iPhone 7. It has a compact form factor, similar to smartphones with a screen size of 5.5-inch of conventional 16:9 aspect ratio. Thankfully, the phone is lightweight and feels nothing like metallic smartphones in the same segment. BS

camera module and LED flash placed at the upper centre, followed by a circular fingerprint sensor. The camera module protrudes a little from the body, therefore makes the phone unstable on flat surfaces, making the module ring prone to easy scratches and damage. Overall, the Nokia 5.1 Plus has a no frill design with a premium glass body and a lightweight profile.
Display

The Nokia 5.1 Plus sports a 5.8-inch screen of HD+ resolution, stretched in 19:9 aspect ratio due to a notch on top. The notch area is significantly bigger than the one seen in the Nokia 6.1 Plus or any other smartphone in the same segment. It is almost the size of notch we have seen in the iPhone X. However, the large notch area accommodates just the front camera, earpiece and sensors. At a time when other smartphone makers are trying to trim the notch as much as possible, the notch in the Nokia 5.1 Plus looks aged. Read Complete Article
