1. The Nokia x5 comes with a p60 chipset... That totally beats the p23 on the umidigi one... Hence, the Nokia x5 would play high graphic games with the highest possible setting seamlessly while u would have to reduce the quality of the game in the umidigi one.

2. Battery. The Nokia x5 beats the umidigi one in terms of battery management. Even tho it comes with a lower 3060 mAh comapred to the 3550 on the umidigi one, it would carry u longer than the umidigi one because of the chipset that optimizes battery and hence is more power efficient.

3. Camera. The Nokia x5 beats the umidigi one both in terms of front facing camera and rear facing camera. Its also better in low light. Plus, the bokeh effect in the umidigi one is very mediocre compared to the Nokia x5.

4. Ouick updates. As we speak, Nokia x5 has already received Andriod 9 pie... I don't know if Umidigi on would ever receive the pie update.

5. Price. Presently on Jumia, the Nokia x5 is priced at 48k while the Umidigi one is 49k. That's 1k saved. At least u go use am buy earpiece...�


You see why i said the Nokia x5 beats it in all ramifications
MY GUY THE PRICE FOR NOKIA X5 DON DROP AGAIN OO...NA 47,990 NAIRA

I didn't held it but saw it at a very close range and the umidigi one and A3 on my hand still look more beautiful. Talking about performance and camera the Nokia X5 is a bit better. And the Nokia X5 isn't a bad looking device umidigi one is just better.

henry007, how's the ram management please? That is like the major reason I'm going for this phone. I need your unbiased review of the ram management.

I put it through one of my "standard" RAM management tests just now but i would have to demonstrate that in video.

So far, it's not closing as many apps as some 3 devices i have reviewed. Android One for the WIN.

Wait. That would mean that the seller installed android one complete with Google play services coz mine came with Android One but the default language was Chinese upon start up. Whatever the case may be, it works like a champ.

SOT update.

Last charge was about 24 hours ago. cool

I'd never under-rate Android One phones with 30X0mAh batteries again.

I'd insert an MTN sim tomorrow or next to see if its the same story.

It's from a Nigerian vendor so no, I don't think they can give you something with Chinese apps since you can return it immediately.

This thread is basically to document my experience before my review is up.

Bought it on Jumia for N48,000 and it was delivered under 48 hours.

So far so good. It has been one surprise after the other.


My review isn't up yet but i have played PUBG and it does run smoothly.

The 3060mAh battery is lasting just as long as a 4000mAh would probably due to the compact HD+ display shocked

Started using it heavily last night but only on WiFi.

Pls can you share the link to the particular seller on jumia that you bought your Nokia x5 from?

seems you don't understand? Nokia now lunches two version of their phones, One in China (x5 and x6) another globally (5.1plus and 6.1plus). Yes Nokia uses android one in most of it's phones and it has 90% of google apps installed, but not present in the Chinese Version of their phones x5, x6. although you can still download the google apps in the Chinese version. Only the international version 6.1plus, 5.1plus has Android one with full installation of Google apps.

Yes, most sellers on jumia are flashing the global rom, on the Chinese variant before selling. it why there is a broken seal, if it wasn't replaced.
