Nokia 5.1 is a weird phone,
very slow and unusable with one SIM card, but works absolutely decent if you put two Sim cards.
Off course you got to also add some fast SD card formatted as phone memory.
It's not for gaming, but with two Sims I can use it for calls, basic apps, Viber, and FB, it doesn't force close apps or restart.

Advice for using this nokia normally, put in a new fast SD card, format it as phone memory and tap transfer apps. Enable developer options and check force apps in sd card. And it works decently

The phone has a low capacity battery it last only hours, you have to charge it every day. It is supposed to be medium range phone and it feels slow.
The legacy of Nokia hardware quality is present, the phone is sturdy and the screen it's nice.
The problem to me with this phone is that is very laggy, e.g.: you open the calculator app and it opens in 3 or 4 seconds, and the phone has 2GB of RAM, for 2019 2GB of RAM is no low RAM so I don't understand why is this phone so laggy.
Finally after 3 years I going to change this laggy piece of cellphone.

This phone was so slow, not worth the money at all even though it cost $99 at clearance. You are better off buying a more expensive phone just so its smooth and usable.

Worst phone I've ever owned, after two years battery dies at 30% and takes forever to charge. Slow as hell. Never again Nokia.

update of my previous review.
After disabling default "news tab" from the start screen, phone is much faster and now it's usable.

The phone is extremely slow, my mother has it, she's got a lot of patience, if it were mine I would have smashed the damn thing long time ago. I get frustrated every time she ask for help with her phone.

Nokia 5.1 has good hardware, but system is terrible.
Why Nokia compiled updates for this phone if it can't keep up with apps for Android 9 or 10?? Does anybody from Nokia developers actually tests update before release?
If you wanna save your reputation, make an update where bootloader is easily unlocked, and let us make software for Nokia 5.1, because the way it is now it's only good as a brick.

I think the Nokia 5.1 should be discontinued,
Mine has got to the extent that it freezes for seconds and can't be used unless plugged in because of its low battery life

Firstly they do not give you android updates after a year. Secondly, they over heat and poor camera.

Stick to flip phones nokia. The 5.1 has lasted me less than 2 years before it has started to slow down, freeze, crash and turn off unexpectedly. I have 5 apps installed and always make sure they arent running in the background and yet this phone can barely navigate rhe home screen without lagging. Forget trying to use google chrome at all... my phone prefers to freeze and turn off when faced with the simple task of loading a web page. The microphone has issues too... at random times it doesnt work at all especially when recording videos. This disgusting piece of junk cant handle the simplest processes. I am never buying a nokia again and do not reccomend this phone to anyone.
