The Nokia 5.1 performs well for a middle-class smartphone ... but the device lacks faster performance and autofocus.

To look at, the Nokia 5.1 is a sleek, upper mid-range smartphone. It's got a premium metal body, biometric security and an 18:9 screen that's as sharp as many flagships. Dive inside, and the budget internals explain its aggressive pricing. But if you can live with little storage and want the best-looking phone for the price, the Nokia 5.1 fits the bill.

Ultimately, for the money, the Nokia 5.1 remains a good buy for those who want the best design and screen at the lowest possible price, alongside a competent – albeit laggy – camera. That said, we'd only really recommend it those whose smartphone use is light; those who don't require silky-smooth interaction, nor have a need to install big apps or games, or charging their device nightly.
