I used Nokia 5 along time but I dont have a good opening about it.
Worst phone I have ever been in possession of. The number of major problems and irritating smaller things will be too long, so will just mention few things which make using this phone a constant headache:
Not sure if that's a feature of every Nokia 5 or just problem with my particular phone, but it doesn't really let you use memory cards. Technically it does, but only allows 2 options - either use it for apps storage or for pictures. In first case the camera stops working, saying that it didn't find the memory, in second case the camera often fails to save pictures. Have tried 3 different cards, 2 of them successfully used in other phones. Same result.
Also no matter if you use memory card or not, copying anything from your PC to this phone is almost a hopeless venture. In most cases it fails, in rare cases it tries, but that takes forever.
Another big headache is very weak battery combined with super easy switching ON/OFF button and touch sensor thanks to which this phone more that just often switches itself on while in my pocket/bag or anywhere at all. And there is no possible software option to block it/ avoid this problem, protective case didn't help also. But even without it, its battery life is usually not enough till the end of working day. By the time I get home battery is usually empty, and that's without playing games, listening to music and watching videos, well, almost without calls even. Just a few whatsapp messages, checking email and social media and reading for a book for half an hour or so is too much for this phone.
Well, here is already too many letters so will not mention problems with sound, absence of many useful features available at most other phones and some connectivity problems.
What is good though, is the design and speed. Camera is quite ok also.
Oh, should also mention that all of the sudden started to have problems with touchscreen. First started to experience some no response moments when pressing on some parts of the screen, few days later it almost stopped behaving properly. Maybe this was a final drop to write this reference. First in my life.
