DaveHert:


I was going to walk away after reading ur comment but there is something u said that really, really pisses me off.



Am not sure what u r basing ur comment on but if I had the option of rebuying a phone, it would still be the Nokia X5. Why?

Battery: contrary to what u stated above, the Nokia X5's battery is the most optimized battery usage in all the phones I have ever used (Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, S6 Edge and Galaxy J6 plus), I have never used a Xiaomi, Tecno or an Infinix phone but a few people I know do and from their observed usage, i can tell u I haven't met anyone whose phones battery seems better optimized than the X5.

Let me explain, let's say I charge my phone to 100% and just want to watch movies all day, it take approximately 1hr 15mins for my battery to drop to 99% and I can watch movies all day from 8am to 7pm and I'll still have around 60% battery left, mind u both WiFi and data are turned off. .

On a normal days usage of surfing the net, chatting and moderate gaming on the go, I still end up with between 30% to 50% juice left by the time I get home around 8pm, to be honest, my X5 has never seen 30% battery since I got it two months ago. Like I said, never have I used a phone with such well optimized battery.

Processor: I think this is where the X5 makes a home run. The X5 is easily the fastest phone I have used and I can proudly say my X5 has never hanged or temporarily slowed down on me, not even once. It can handle pretty much everything you throw at it and still have room to spare. Opening, closing and multitasking between apps has never been this fast for me, now I am starting to believe Samsung might have lost a loyal customer in me, not even the Galaxy S10 interests me anymore

Design: Another home run for the X5. The phones design is simply a thing of beauty, it's so nicely designed that it's always pulling in admirers when ever I pull it out to use in public. Even though I think the notch could have been just a little smaller, it still gives the phone an aesthetic appeal that resembles that of an iPhone, especially when using apps with full white backgrounds, like Instagram and reading in your browser, it never fails to appeal to onlookers. So far 3 people I know have gotten this phone just from seeing it once in my hands and 2 others are planning on buying it as soon as it gets restocked. The only issue is that the phone looks so good that after trying on a pouch and screen guard and seeing how ugly it was in comparison to the phones design, I dumped both and have been using the phone like that... Yeah as u can guess, some bitch I gave the phone to admire let it slip off her hand and cracked my outer screen slightly. Well I'll have to order a replacement from AliExpress, and it's quite cheap.

Network Support: Although I initially had my reservations about buying a phone that seemed to support fewer LTE bands than it should, I still went ahead with getting this phone because the pros seemed to outweigh the cons, and I am so glad I did, so far it supports every networks 4G I had hoped it did, with exception to Glo's 4G, mine supports Airtel 4G, Etisalat 4G, Ntel 4G and surprisingly MTN 4G also works. I have no issue with it not supporting Glo's 4G as even the Glo's H+ speed is good enough to not be crazy about its 4G, in my area that is. So unless u r strictly on Glo's bandwagon, then don't make this a factor for not getting the phone.

Speaker & Charging: The phones speaker is surprisingly louder than I had anticipated, louder than all my previous phones. It's surprising because it only has one speaker outlet and yet it's quite loud, which is quite a bonus.

Even though the X5 does not support fast charging on paper, it does charge fast enough for me, I usually get my phone fully charged in less than an hour, mind u it's never flat, maybe from 33% to 100% in under an hour. So that's a plus.

Affordability: Getting a phone with this good a spec and aesthetic design that can make an onlooker drool over your phone at such a cheap cost is pretty much a dream come true. It never fails to disappoint me when someone asks me what phone am using and i say Nokia, Lol... u need to see the suprise and sometimes shock that appears on their faces. Samsung would charge u a 100+ for that, and this is coming from a Samsung loyalist. Enough said.

Issue: The only issue I can honestly point out that pisses me off on a regular basis is Android PIE, it has a fu*ked up ram management optimization, I can't even leave my apps running in the background without pie dropping the axe on them, it even kills 3rd party download managers downloading in the background once u leave it and some other app all running and go do something like say check you instagram.. Pie fu*ks u over of course i love all the features that comes with Pie, but ram management is so not one of them. But that can always be fixed in an update.

To sum it all up, if I had to rebuy a phone... You can bet it would still be the Nokia X5.

So saying the phone is not worth it when u neither own or use one is an insult to others using it, I personally find that to be quite insulting as I believe the phone is worth more than I got it for.

Give this guy a cold beer.... Amazing review

SaucyBenks:
who is brain washing you my brother... Pls stop degrading my outstanding Nokia X5! Order from mizik and have your first orgasm once you unbox the phone alone and take the wrap off its back. I use the blue color and I can tell you that everytime I take off my pouch to clean this phone, I JUST SMILE... Performance is top notch for me, every night I play music with this phone till morning and still get 93-95%, in school after almost all the ladies in my department Don snap, play games, browse due to airtel awesome 4G network, I still come back home with at least 48% juice at 5pm, who really gives a flying hoot about glo 4G? Like seriously What exactly does this phone lack abeg because all you wrote up there is spoiling my easter celebrations... I know not about the x6 but X5? Don't try that again!

no... Mba! You're not loving it... If you're loving it, you won't write that.

Bros no be this man U suppose attack na! Na the oda wey say X5 & X6 no dey worth it.

Abeg I know say many of una buy X5 but what about the X6? Nobody dey talk about am!?
I'm a game & movies lover so I download a lot which makes the 32gb of the Nokia x5 a turn off 4 me. The hybrid Sim is also another turn off in both the X5 & X6 cos I like to be able to switch to any network while having enough storage space for files.
So guys pls, from all honesty between the X5 & X6 which should I go for?

Troublemaker101:
Man, I've really thought about these phones (x6 & x5), and I've come to the conclusion that they ain't worth it ... I mean, you're spending 64/48k on a phone that you're not even sure if at all it's going to support your preferred network's 4G mode, it's known to have multiple hardware or software issues (the fact that it's fine now doesn't mean it'll be fine after 2 months ), upon all there's no warranty and you'll have to pay a lot of money just to get it done after a fault(I hope for your sake it's not the glass or charging port ), the battery isn't really cool at the end of the day(no matter how many optimisation processes u use) and there are other phones in that price range with better cameras... not to mention the fact that the one with the outstanding mtk p20 processor has ram management issues while the other with OK ram management has a less than average processor.... to top it all up, the Nokia we grew up with, the Nokia that created those magnificent bulletproof torchlight phones and the lumia series is now just a marketing name , the real company producing these phones is called HMD.. omo, as someone with a 65K phone budget, I think the Xiaomi brand has something better to offer in form of the note 5 & 6 pro
It's not that I'm discouraging people o (sincerely I don't think I've said anything here that isn't true ), experiences differ, I'm just saying my honest view of the whole thing.... isn't that what the nairaland forum is for??

who is brain washing you my brother... Pls stop degrading my outstanding Nokia X5! Order from mizik and have your first orgasm once you unbox the phone alone and take the wrap off its back. I use the blue color and I can tell you that everytime I take off my pouch to clean this phone, I JUST SMILE... Performance is top notch for me, every night I play music with this phone till morning and still get 93-95%, in school after almost all the ladies in my department Don snap, play games, browse due to airtel awesome 4G network, I still come back home with at least 48% juice at 5pm, who really gives a flying hoot about glo 4G?

Won't this increase battery drain or something? I mean, that could be a feature that optimizes the battery efficiently for a longer run. Don't you think?

JasonSleek:
Won't this increase battery drain or something? I mean, that could be a feature that optimizes the battery efficiently for a longer run. Don't you think?

There's no noticeable difference between battery consumption when the features were enabled and disabled.

If electricity is not an issue in your area, then it's not something you should worry about.

As for me, performance over battery drain.

P.S: I've tested it when they were enabled and disabled and as far as I'm concerned, those apps are just there. They are only good in killing background apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter. But they don't have much effect on battery performance.
