nokia has jumped hardcore into the smartphone market this year releasing several phones of various powers prices and materials today on my desk we have the Nokia 5 which sits comfortably between Nokia's three and six which were also released this year if Nokia is not careful they're gonna run out of digits to use on their phones next year let's get started the Nokia phones are pretty inexpensive and extremely popular all over the world but also really hard to find here in the USA there are a couple on Amazon that work well with the GSM networks so I'll link those in the video description and this beautiful copper Brown is going to be subject to my rigorous durability tests just like every other phone and it has been scratched with Gorilla Glass though covering the surface there's no surprise when the scratches don't appear until level 6 tempered glass is the standard for smartphones lately and Nokia is using the good stuff the front-facing 8 megapixel F 2.0 camera is tucked under the same glass as the screen so no damage will be happening here the earpiece is a vinyl like material and there's no chance of it falling out it's glued in pretty tight the home button is made from glass and is scratch resistant my razor blade does nothing normal wear and tear will do no damage to this home button it's not invincible ceramic like we saw in the oneplus 5 but it's still pretty good and now for the back of the phone this color is actually really awesome I've never seen anything quite like it the Nokia branding is lined up with the camera lens in the centre of the back and after a little analysis I find the branding is solidly inlaid into the back panel and there won't be any issues with it falling out in the future the 13 megapixel F 2.0 rear camera is up here in the center it's a step up from the Nokia 3 but the fact that they use glass on this lens is a huge benefit if you remember from my Nokia 3 video it used a plastic back along with a plastic camera lens and that alone is reason enough for me to spend a bit more money and jump up to the Nokia 5 to worry about the lens scratching is a big plus even the flash is covered with glass over here on the right side of the phone we have metal volume buttons and a metal power button along with you know some more metal down the sides on the other side of the phone both the dual sim and SD card trays are metal no water-resistant is included but for this price that's kind of expected the top of the foam right here next to the headphone jack is all plastic probably for the cell signal but at the same time the corners of the phone are most likely to hit the ground first during a drop and the plastic corners are more forgiving and pliable than metal is Nokia has built their phones with useful features that won't break on the first drop unlike some other extremely fragile devices released from Apple this year the color of the phone is super unique the aluminum body looks and feels pristine and look I drew a graph of Bitcoin or you know if you flip it over on the side its Donald Trump's approval ratings starting at birth down here at the bottom phone we have more strategically placed plastic along with the microUSB charging port that is one thing I hope Nokia changes across the board next year USB should be a thing the 720p 5.2 inch IPS LCD display does seem a bit dim it's currently maxed out on brightness at the moment but the screen did last for 10 seconds under the heat from my flame which scientifically means that if you hold a lighter to your phone that it'll survive for 10 seconds seems to happen to me on a regular basis and now for the bin test slightly more useful than a burn test we get to see the internal structure and build quality of the Nokia phones applicable to drops bins bumps tight pants and basically everything else in life and Nokia once again has built a beast even when bin from the front and the back nothing flexes and nothing is disfigured no kinks or bins Nokia has proven that phones don't need to be expensive to be solidly built I've tested the Nokia's three five six and eight now and all of them have passed it'll be interesting to see what Nokia does next year now that they've run out of numbers to use but either way hit that subscribe button and let's find out together thanks ton for watching and I'll see you around and if you made it to the end of the video let me know in the comment which is better Harry Potter or Star Wars I'm curious
