Top 5 Nokia smartphones
Review of the best Nokia phones - according to experts and buyers
Author: Vladimir Nyenets
Recall that the rights to this famous trademark now belong to the Chinese company HMD Global (a subsidiary of Foxconn). The headquarters in the Finnish city of Espoo, most likely, plays the role of a kind of "wedding general." Anyway, the glorious past obliges the new owner to keep the bar of quality at a good level, but there is no need to occupy experience in Foxconn smartphone construction. Just before, similar products were made for other brands (Apple, OnePlus, Huawei, Xiaomi), and now also for themselves. If you are going to purchase such a phone, this rating of the best Nokia smartphones, which can now be purchased in Russian retail, will help you.
As far as the model range of the “new” Nokia is small, smartphones under this name are managed with the simplest numerical index and there is no problem with understanding the positioning of this or that device. Note some common unpleasant features of the phones in question. Absolutely all devices released at this time do not provide the user with the ability to adjust the color temperature of the screen. Further, modern smartphones from Nokia have diverse problems with software optimization. For example, compared to offers from other brands, the power consumption increases when installing a second SIM card. Well, the pricing policy of HMD Global is understandable (I want to quickly “beat off” the funds invested in the big name), but not quite adequate to the real state of affairs.
You just don’t have to think that things are bad with Nokia smartphones. Normally, everything is at least as good as that of the products of manufacturers of category B. Simply, the demands and expectations of the fans are too high, hence the possible negative in the reviews.

Opens our ranking of the best smartphones Nokia, the flagship of the company - Nokia 8. The first attempt by HMD Global to draw attention to the reviving brand with a good-quality flagship was ambiguous. The smartphone runs on a top-end platform, but for some reason it does not have a version with an increased amount of RAM. It seems to be equipped with an excellent display, but the latter is not configured in the best way, and the user's capabilities in this regard are severely limited. In addition, the dimensions of the phone correspond to those of a typical phablet, but the screen diagonal of the Nokia 8 is significantly smaller. The result is a wide frame. There are claims to the energy efficiency of the model and its chamber part. For example, the possibility of exposure correction when shooting by “automatic” is not provided, and the manual mode is very inconvenient. In principle, for a smartphone with a price tag of up to 30 thousand - these are acceptable shortcomings. Given the same chips, like simultaneous shooting of two cameras with the packaging of the result in a common 4K video file or excellent ability to record the sound of the specified source - not critical, at least. Main advantages:

The stock Android is both a plus and a minus of this phone. On the one hand, this is the absence of a huge number of unnecessary functions. On the other hand, to “sharpen” a mobile phone for yourself, it will take a decent amount of time. |

The first “wave” of the updated Nokia smartphones has been criticized by many for a rather conservative appearance with a classic 16: 9 aspect ratio and rather big frames around. For this new family of such claims no longer present. The device complies with the modern canons, although not everyone - the designers of the company decided not to shock the brand’s “bang” a la iPhone X. Inside the Nokia 7 Plus, there is a great Snapdragon 660 single-chip system, which has enough capabilities for almost any gamer, even demanding games with maximum graphics quality settings. The camera part of the phone is also good, but it lacks optical stabilization. But the ability to two-sided shooting and the support of OZO Audio technology have not gone anywhere. It is especially convenient that you can switch microphones without interrupting the recording process. Videologgers will appreciate. Participation in the Android One program is both a plus and a minus. There is nothing superfluous in the user interface, but it is also very problematic to fine-tune the smartphone "by itself". Main advantages:

The phone is very good. I didn't care about the camera, but it also struck me (selfie, perhaps, now I’m posting to instagram?). A battery is generally something. |

The beginning of the newest history of the brand was the way out of the Nokia 6 smartphone, an interesting, but not without some flaws. In particular, this model was positioned as a mid-level solution, and in its stuffing a budget-grade hardware platform was used. Relatively good, but completely inconsistent with the declared status of the device. Updating the smartphone and is designed to correct this ambiguity using the single-chip system Snapdragon 630, the latest Bluetooth version and a full-featured NFC module. Now, even with high graphics quality settings, the frame rate in complex WoT scenes does not fall below a comfortable value. As well as the older models of the family, Nokia 6.1 supports the OZO Audio surround sound recording technology, has the ability to simultaneously shoot front and rear cameras, and can also write video in Slow Motion mode with Full HD resolution.

Originally wanted to buy another phone, much more expensive. But I saw this Nokiya and understood - mine. Yes, there is no 4K screen, but all the other advantages are just super. |

Despite the well-deserved criticism of the first Nokia 3 smartphone, it was the best-selling device of the brand in 2017. The manufacturer has overhauled this model, trying to eradicate all the identified causes of user dissatisfaction. First, the machine has received a more powerful stuffing, while it more efficiently consumes energy. The battery in Nokia 3.1 is different, more capacious, and there is hope that, without any problems with charging, this is, secondly. Thirdly, the display on the phone is also new, with a larger diagonal, trendy aspect ratio, increased brightness and without color inversion. Next, the main camera of the smartphone Nokia also became better, it’s a pity that you still can’t screw popular alternative applications to it Finally, it became possible to put two SIM cards. Unfortunately, the novelty scanner has not acquired a new one. Contactless payment technology supported by this smartphone. Main advantages:

I was pleased with the sound of the speaker when playing ringtones. There was a feeling that the Nokia 3.1 smartphone reproduces them better than the Nokia 8 and 7 Plus. |

With this model, the manufacturer announced the return of the Nokia brand to the smartphone market in the mass segment. Naturally, the phone has a decent number of competitors and far from all of them beats in its characteristics. Nevertheless, Nokia 5 can boast of chips that its classmates do not have. For example, support for NFC technology and Android Pay or auto-focus the front camera. It is a pity that the developers decided to save on the amount of RAM and internal memory installed on board the device. Of course, the presence of a personal slot for microSD pleases, just keep in mind if the card is formatted as an internal drive - it is automatically encrypted in such a way that no one can read the data. Including the Nokia 5 itself, after performing a hard reset. Those. It is highly recommended to back up important data before a reset. Main advantages:

The phone is just great. From the wishes, there would be a little more memory (although the new OS quietly merges the SD card and the phone's memory, so the problems disappear altogether), and the battery is larger. |

Not being able to impress potential buyers of the Nokia 2 with the high performance of the hardware platform, the model developers tried their best to beat the modest power consumption caused by this fact. On the official website of the brand they promise two days of smartphone operation without recharging, and the real owners confirm the solid autonomy of the “two”. Naturally, with an average load. However, given the extremely small amounts of RAM and internal memory, intensive use of the device is still uncomfortable. It is also nice that the capacious rechargeable battery is not the only advantage of Nokia 2. In the "advantages" it has separate slots for SIM cards and memory cards, but also a good set of sensors, including light and proximity sensors. Main advantages:

A good Nokia phone for calls, sms, music, the Internet. The charge keeps normally. Large clear bright screen. Not a bad camera, but the price is too high. |
Many people nostalgically recall Nokia products from the time of the Symbian OS. Probably, there will be a smaller number and grateful owners of smartphones of this brand, already working under Windows. Now devices with a recognizable nameplate have made friends with Android, and we can only hope that this period of the history of the glorious brand will be marked by the emergence of good-quality, unkillable devices that bring only pleasure in use.
Have a good shopping!
