Software

[edit]

The Nokia 5 was originally launched with Android 7.1.1 Nougat. HMD Global has stated that they are providing a bloatware-free version of Android by not providing any unnecessary extra software. The company has also committed to provide regular feature and security updates.[3]

In October 2017, the Android 7.1.2 Nougat update was rolled out for the Nokia 5.[4]

On 12 December 2017, Juho Sarvikas, the Chief Product Officer at HMD Global, announced on Twitter that users of the Nokia 5 could test Android 8.0 Oreo on their devices by registering on Beta Labs, Nokia's Android beta testing program.[5] The official Android 8.0 Oreo update began rolling out to the Nokia 5 on January 30, 2018.[6]

Nokia announced on Twitter that the Nokia 5, along with the Nokia 6 and Nokia 3 would receive the Android Pie update.[7] The update began rolling out to the Nokia 5 on January 24, 2019.[8]

Reception

[edit]

The Nokia 5 generally received positive reviews, with Andrew Hoyle of CNET praising the design, pricing and battery while criticising the mediocre performance and camera.[9] John McCann of TechRadar praised the “premium design” and use of stock Android while noting that load times could be sluggish and photos could be dark.[10]
