Nokia X5 offers dual cameras and a notch for less
It's all notches nowadays...
- More than two decades experience writing about PCs and accessories, and 15 years writing about cameras of all kinds.
HMD Global, the licensee of the Nokia brand for phones, announced the Nokia X5 Thursday. It's an Android Oreo phone that aims to bring a little iPhone X feel to a midrange device.
The 5.86-inch phone uses a notched 1,520×720-pixel resolution display giving it a 19:9 screen ratio, similar to what you'd find on Apple's current flagship and several other new Android phones. Likewise, you'll find dual cameras on back: an f2 aperture 13-megapixel one with faster phase detection autofocus and a secondary 5-megapixel camera for "depth of field." There's an 8-megapixel selfie camera, too.
Despite the more premium appearance and cameras, the rest of the phone is middle-of-the-road including a MediaTek P60 processor, 3 or 4GB of memory, 32 or 64GB of storage that's expandable up to 256GB with a microSD card and a 3,060mAh battery.
The Nokia X5 will be available in China first, starting at 999 yuan, which converts to approximately $147, AU$201 and £114.
