brandon180: I'll suggest you take it to Nokia care center, explain the issue to them and ask for a downgrade.. You can read this article as well https://www.techmesto.com/how-to-downgrade-nokia-7-plus-from-stable-pie-to-stable-oreo/ |

tosins:It should do. I really don't find much smartphones with good specs around this price, except Xiaomi, which I decided not to go for because I have used it once before it was stolen. I just wanted to change brand. So, I decided to try Nokia, and it was okay for my gaming and other stuff. |

For those complaining about bugs, its true that when I got my X5 I was almost tempted to return it because I immediately noticed a lot of bugs. 1. When I attempted to change my wallpaper the "set" picture as wallpaper button becomes inactive, I would click on it multiple times and no action would take place. 2. When I install a game and move the obb file from my system into the phones obb folder, it would show up when viewed from my pc but would not show up in the phones file manager but would occupy that space in the phone's storage, and the game would not see the file. 3. The phone was always getting warm while doing minor tasks like simply playing music or just operating the phone. I was contemplating returning it but held off on it and decided to try out something, so what I did was immediately run the Android Pie update, after which the wallpaper and hotness bug was mostly resolved but not the hidden files bug, so I did a factory reset and that put the lid on all the bugs, the phone was as good as new. So far I have not encountered any other bug and the phone doesn't even get warm while on 4G and music together, it only gets warm on HD gaming with 4G. And lastly the battery. Well let me phrase it as this. In all my life i have never used a phone with such an optimized battery life, the battery is so good I no longer carry charger along with me when going for classes. I just know I have no worries with this bae of a phone. Today for instance, I unplugged this phone from charger at around 9AM and went for classes, during the course of the day my 4G was on 70% of the time, music was played 90% of the day and I watched a movie for like an hour plus a little internet surfing and WhatsApp/Facebook chatting. Right now it's a little past 9PM and my battery is currently @ 67%. Can u believe that. What else could I ask for from this bae of a phone? 2 Likes

And lastly for those contemplating on whether to get this phone or something else, the best thing you can do for urself is to get this phone, i can assure you that you won't be able to get another phone that can combine beauty, performance and affordability in one package. I literally keep getting stopped by strangers and friends to ask me what phone this is when ever am using it in public. One time a guy in my street walked upto me to ask if he could examine my phone, that my neighbor told him about the phone and that he had ordered the Tecno Camon 11 pro. After examining the Nokia X5 he asked me a few questions and after answering he went home and cancelled his order and ordered the X5. Now he is always smiling at me and telling people I saved him from making a big mistake. As if that is not enough, my course mate borrowed my phone to play PES 2019 and PUBG in school and while he was at it, the queen bee in my department noticed the phone in his hands and was all over him because of it, the guy started lying and telling her I bought it for 90k and what not, and now everytime she sees me she wants to take selfies and play music with it, one would think she was phoneless by the way she keeps pestering me for my phone. Note: You can completely get away with telling people this phone costs 150k, I swear the phone looks more expensive than even the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge I previously owned. I don't use screen guard or case yet, that's why the phone gets so much attention and admiration. I did buy a screen guard for it earlier but it was so ugly and stole the phones beauty that I had to dump it, plus it didn't align properly with the notch and ended up covering some part of the notch screen. 4 Likes |

henry007: Lol ![]() ![]() Right now am even conflicted, I have never used an unrooted phone before so most of my advance apps and customization can't be used on this phone yet, and that's an issue for me because if I do root it I won't be able to enjoy the benefits of Android One, which is prompt software updates. Once (back in 2014) I used my Samsung Galaxy S4 so much that from time to time I would have to put it in the fridge, it would get so hot that touching it to ur cheek would likely burn u. this mostly happens when am running an Apache web server and debugging/coding on it. Eventually the phones board died of over heating and the technician told me the soder paste on the board had gotten exhausted because of overheating and was asking me what I did to use up the soder paste on my board since the phone was not faulty with overheating. So as u can see, I am probably more of an abnormal phone user than u phone pressers out there. 1 Like 1 Share |

ARIINI: ARIINI: As unethical as this might sound I just buy Airtel 4G sims and get the 4gb that comes with it, when I want to do a heavy download I do the Airtel midnight plan of 500mb for 25 naira on multiple sims (I have about 17 Sims) and do my downloads. Other times I do the NTEL 500 naira unlimited midnight plan for 2days and do all my downloads. On a side note: I have come to realise that one would die quicker from lack of sleep than one would from lack of food. ![]() 1 Like |

SaucyBenks: So the bastards say but they tend to throttle me when I download up to 10gb in one night. But some nights I can download as much as 20GB before I notice the decline in speed as a result of throttling. But before it was truly unlimited, I downloaded GTA5 of about 40GB in one go and that took approximately 3hrs. |

SaucyBenks: You have to go to their site and confirm if they have coverage in your area. Just click on coverage on their websites navigation menu. After confirming that they do, click on SIM registration centers and look for Ur location there, pick the outlet closest to Ur house and go get it there. |

DaveHert:Guy, u are so on point, let me talk my own. The day I bought this phone, my friend was amazed at the build quality and camera, when I told him the price, he was more amazed. That day, they took an lot of photos with it. After then I meet someone who recognised the phone and we got into a discussion about it. The guy close to us took interest and at last used it to take pictures, he was wowed by the camera especially the bokeh mode. Ever since everyone that sees the phone tells me that its way cheap for its price. Once did a comparison with a 77k camon11 pro and it stood up in every area. Nokia did a great job Btw I know a guy that got the Nokia 8.1(Snapdragon 710, 3500mah) I'll look for him around and have a feel of the phone. I know say Nokia go finish work for that one... |

Halezis:Nokia makes two versions of phones.. The global version which is more expensive than the chinese version... While the global ones support all the 4g bands you can think of, you will be fortunate if the chinese ones support your lines 4g network... In our case the Chinese ones support Airtel(everywhere), MTN, Glo( some people said so but it all depends on your location) No other difference between both... 5.1+ is the global version of X5 6.1+ is the global version of X6 The only benefit of getting the Global version is warranty and you can easily fix it in a Nokia care center. |
