AceShot, 25 Aug 2017Thank you i saw your ram comment. I have a phone Allview P9... moreYa. That's true. It's a really low amount of RAM. I am confused about what's going on with the RAM on Nokia 5. Because it feels like actually the OS is the one who eats most of the RAM.
But the thing is I have been using Google chrome and YouTube at the same time with also whatsapp and viber running. All worked really well and smoothly.
I am not a heavy gamer or even a heavy user. So Nokia 5 with 2 GB RAM is more than enough for me. But I am no expert on these things so heavy users should get some expert opinions about the device before buy it... :-)

I have a phone Allview P9 Energy lite and i have something like 70 apps installed or more - most of them games. And when i restart my phone i have always exactly same amount of free ram as i started it from first time. That's is 1.85GB free out of 3GB.
You said you have around 500 MB left after updates and installed apps whichi is ridicolous low for a phone claiming to have Clean Android....and probably kills all your background opened aps if you multitask - browser, youtube some apps etc.

Shan, 25 Aug 2017Can any pls tell us where is gallery options , theme change... moreHi.... There is no theme changing option in nokia 5 as far as I know.... In my device I still didn't find anything like that and I am not worried about it either....
Also there was no inbuilt gallery app or even file manager when I bought the device. So I guess it's the way HMD gave us the phone. They are giving stock Android with very little features added and we are allowed to customize it anyway we want using Google play store . Thats the way I see it.... :-)

AceShot, 24 Aug 2017Guys what are differences and how to notice and tell which ... moreHi... I think there is only one version of Nokia 5 and it's a global version. But Nokia 6 has few versions including Chinese and European. First I was thinking of buying Nokia 6 so I did some reading on the internet. What I found is that in Chinese version there is no Google play and the os has customized to Chinese government policies. But recently I somewhere read that HMD has made Google play available for even Nokia 6 Chinese version with an update.
But before that there were some Nokia 6 Chinese version devices with Google play and apparently those are the ones with flashed Rom installed another ROM.. HMD has said there is a big possibility those devices will not get any future updates via official Nokia channels. That's for Nokia 6 and I think same goes for the Nokia 5. My Nokia 5 is the TA-1053 version. I bought this about 3 week's ago and I got 3 updates. Last one is August security patch.
I have posted a comment here before about the RAM usage of the device after I bought the phone. If you can find it maybe it's useful.it's under the same id Bugzy.
I don't know if this is helpful or not. Sorry if it's not.... :-)

Overall satisfied. Good build quality. On software side, there's room for improvement. Hopefully, Nokia can consider these for future updates:
. Noticed significant battery drain and heatup using Google maps navigation over long period (> 1 hour)
. No option to calibrate touch system; sometimes have difficulty when using thumb to tap far-off areas
. Didn't find option to transfer apps to SD card. Thought that feature was added to Android long ago. Really nice to have with this limited space.
. No way to uninstall certain preinstalled Google apps
. No builtin always-on display or glance screen. Previous Nokia users may miss this feature.
. Had some trouble setting location accuracy and data connection provider with dual SIMs. Possibly related to OS caching.
