Cute little phone if you are nostalgic/want fast updates. Stock Android 7 with updates. Android Oreo is promised for Nokia 3, 5, 6. My dad's Nokia 6 is on the September 2017 patch already.

Apparently you get good battery life (84h on GSMArena test) on the Nokia 5.

Dual SIM 4G/3G on Nokia 5

Can add the Nokia 5 (TA-1053 dual sim variant) to the list. Put my Boost SIM in slot 1 and Amaysim SIM in slot 2 and I'm getting 4G on Boost and 3G on Amaysim simultaneously.

        But they are right outside Nokia's HQ. Staffed by former Nokia staff.

        They Nokia enough for me. Blackberry, Motorola etc are Chinese owned.

          Nokia is ownef by Taiwanese.

          Some had some roles in the old Nokia
          most of them worked for Microsoft that took Nokia over
          the CEO left not long ago
          Nokia 8 is OK 5 and 6 overpriced for what they are

        • StrayfireX on 15/09/2017 - 19:08

          @songjing:

          TAIPEI, Taiwan — FIH Mobile, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Precision Industry, will take over Microsoft's feature phone business for US$350 million, the U.S.-based company said on Wednesday, May 18.

          As far as I understand that only covers feature phones. The smartphones are designed by HMD Global and manufactured by Foxconn in the old Nokia factories.

      2+16GB is a bit meh for 2017 also.

      You can buy much better specs for the money if you look to the chinese brands like Xiaomi or Lenovo.

        no band 28 on xiaomi , but yes fhd is a must have.

        i was at jb hifi and some of the nokia (nokia6) $399 had fhd as i was considering as replacement for a water damaged moto , was looking for moto z play.

        and you will get more ota updates from the nokia than a xiaomi in australia.

        a killer deal nokia6 would get my attention

    • reslo on 15/09/2017 - 18:53

      Stresses the Snapdragon 430 less and gets more life out of the battery too. Plenty of users care not a hot for FHD screens.

        This, if you can barely tell the difference and it makes no difference to day to day use, who cares? I would rather have the better battery life every day of the week. 720x1280 is perfect for a 5" phone IMO

        • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2017 - 09:05

          I use as a daily an s5 and with a data share sim in my note 2.

          Its still easy on the eyes at 720p a 5.5inch screen.

          You can see the difference between both but really it shouldnt effect the user at all.

    interestingly the MTK chip gets frequent updates

    • reslo on 15/09/2017 - 18:58
      +1

      AFAIK it's got nothing to do with the chip, all Android Nokias get updates asap, they are pretty much vanilla Android.

    • StrayfireX on 15/09/2017 - 19:06

      The Nokia 3 has been a little slower than the others to get feature updates because MediaTek is slow at updating.

      However I'm told the security updates are still quick for it.

      • Balls on 15/09/2017 - 20:57

        thats what i meant, mediatek some refer to as the worse in their source code openness so im wondering how this is different

        • StrayfireX on 15/09/2017 - 22:38

          Yeah Nokia HMD said that MediaTek was being slow with their rolling out of new code for new Android versions.

          That's why until recently the Nokia 3 was stuck on Android 7.0 (but with latest security patches; because those don't need new code from Mediatek).

          It's jumping directly from 7.0 to 8.0.

        • The Terratronie on 16/09/2017 - 23:50

    I bought one yesterday, forgot to post it up to OZB so well done OP. This is a fantastic price for the 5, over $100 less than bricks-n-mortar RRP.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/09/2017 - 19:12

    I got one and it goes like this.

    Pros
    - Fast Updates (already on September)
    - Stock Android
    - Build quality is fantastic, it really blows your mind, solid Aluminium piece, feels great in the hand.
    - Fingerprint scanner is good and accurate

    Acceptable
    - Camera quality (for the price)

    Cons
    - Could be faster, sometimes opening an app takes a bit longer than it should (running Qualcomm 430)
    - 16gig is pretty sad nowdays, SD card is required
    - Stock Camera app takes ages to open, like seriously slow.

    Overall I would rate it a good 6 or 7 out of 10.

    Im personally using it as my daily driver atm. I am now keeping an eye on the Nokia 8, in regards to price cuts in the future.

  • jackychen on 15/09/2017 - 21:58

    is this au stock?

    • StrayfireX on 15/09/2017 - 22:35

      I think this is overseas stock being shipped out from Australia.

      Item location:
      Regents Park, NSW, Australia

      MobileCiti sells a different variant of the Nokia 5; which I believe is single SIM but AU stock.

      See this deal if you want AU stock ($260): https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/329591

      • jackychen on 15/09/2017 - 22:48

        Thank you so much!

      • koakun on 16/09/2017 - 08:31

        yes I think so

        Item specifics said,
        Dispatch: From Taiwan if Non-AU address was provided.
        Warranty: Seller warranty, repaired by manufacturer
        From oversea by express if stock shortage in AU
        User Manual: In Foreign language

  • fruit on 15/09/2017 - 23:30

    Will this ever get updates?

    • StrayfireX on 15/09/2017 - 23:32

      It has gotten security updates every month. As for Android Oreo we don't have much prior evidence to work with.

      • fruit on 15/09/2017 - 23:33

        Nice!

  • siuol on 16/09/2017 - 01:46

    Just a warning before you guys jump into the Nokia deals.

    I bought a Nokia 6 from qd_au and it arrived on tuesday. I was trying to setup for my wife's birthday present for next week.

    Tonight I tried to continue the setup and when I tried to power on the phone it went into bootloop?!

    I am now contacting qd_au to see what i should do, but my plan on giving out a phone as a birthday present is now definitely ruined…

      not ruined she will think you are a hero when you get it fixed ,

  • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2017 - 09:06

    I am so tempting to get the 5 for a play and see how it goes.

  • bongom on 16/09/2017 - 10:16

    Nokia 3 states Dual Nano-SIM (4G + 2G) so no use in Oz? Nokia 5 states Dual Nano-SIM (4G + 3G).

  • koakun on 16/09/2017 - 12:57

    information from other shop said Nokia5 (TA-1053) has 4G+2G

    https://www.uniquemobiles.com.au/nok-5-dual-sim-ta-1053-4g-1…

    • StrayfireX on 16/09/2017 - 13:30

      I would trust Whirlpool more. Typically shops say 4G+2G to cover their asses.

      • ozhunter68 on 21/09/2017 - 19:40

        The Nokia 5 can be had for $209.10 at the moment with the ebay 18% off code, tempting.
