Using for past one year. A decent phone with a classy look and it's worth your money.

    I have used the phone for a week and is generally pleased with it. However the phone does have a few shortcomings like battery life, mono speakers, speaker volume and screen brightness. I am a light user i purchased this phone because i need a smartphone for work and this fits the budget without losing performance. The software is great no issues there and fast enough without noticeable lag when using apps or surfing net. Screen is excellent very clear and detailed with good colours. However the screen brightness is not very bright under direct sunlight. I find it weak even with the brightest settings. Battery life is acceptable lasting a day with moderate use but not spectacular. The mono speaker is not that great although you can hear it is quite poor quality. Combined with a low volume it is difficult to hear sometimes. If you dont use to speaker phone the call quality is fine. Its only when you use speaker phone thats an issue. The design is excellent just like the original nokia 5 with metal finish and easy to hold. I have used nokia 6 previously and i find that phone too big and bulky to hold and carry although it is a better phone. Overall i give nokia 5.1 a 7.5 out of 10.

      Why is my Nokia 5.1 creating folders and generating photos thus filling up space then keeps on telling me its almost full?

        Guess I'll live a long time. Just got Pie on a mandatory upgrade, the other day. So far, so good. Runs smooth. No glitches that I know of, yet. With no change in apps, I even have more open storage space than with Oreo. Battery run time better, too. OK, I'm convinced.

          Good phone, just bought mine two days ago. Is a slick phone but the battery capacity is small.
          I think Nokia had to increase the battery capacity to 4000 or 3400

            dada1, 08 Aug 2019Plus: Android (One) Pie , really good display for the price... moreReally good display for MANY prices. When I saw 430 ppi for $179, I thought it was a typo. Mine came with Oreo, and I'm sticking with that. Too many horror stories about OS upgrades. Pie has stuff I won't likely need, even if I live to be 120.

              Plus: Android (One) Pie , really good display for the price, full metal body, dual SIM, audio jack.

              Minus: Very small internal memory (16 or 32 GB), needs uSD card (supports up to 256 GB card in addition to 2 nano SIM cards), battery and processor should have greater capacity, no AC WLAN.

              Overall a low end smartphone but with good value.

                Pepperify, 27 Mar 2019This could be a great phone, but the too aggressive power-s... moreYea i agree. The problem is a very big. And if you have social apps all are useless because of that shutdown apps in the background. Instagram, viber, facebook, discord no notifications. Phone looks like death. And that irritates me very hard. And now i changed to another one but no nokia. Never again.

                  Just got the 5.1, brand new, last week. Very pleased. Excellent display!! Probably the best display you can get, on a sub-$200 phone. Screen is very responsive -- very little stuttering. Boots up pretty quickly. Nice appearance. Not too heavy or bulky, yet not too light. As with a lot of the new phones, the speaker is pretty bad -- must use earbuds. So far, not too pleased with the battery life, but overall a great experience.

                        Awfull don't receive all notifications that I should receive.
                        Has been like this since android 9 update. It also starts to fall apart after a few drops. Don't buy this!

                          I know the phone was released in August 2018 but is there a way I can find out the exact production date of my Nokia 5.1?
