Reviews for the Nokia 5.1 Plus
The Nokia 5.1 Plus not only performs better than the Nokia 5.1 but also better than the Nokia 6.1, despite what Nokia’s number system may have led you to believe. In-house competition or just confusing numbers?

Archive.org versionThe Nokia 5.1 Plus is a great phone. It’s so great in fact, that it far overshadows the Nokia 5.1 I reviewed a few months ago.

Archive.org versionThe Nokia 5.1 Plus stand out of this crowd with its glass design and clean user interface. The phone is able to handle most of the daily tasks quite effectively and battery backup is decent enough to last one day of mixed usage. The camera is a mixed bag and the display is great.

Archive.org versionThe Nokia 5.1 Plus is priced at Php 12,990, and every purchase comes with a gamepad. To be frank, the Nokia 5.1 Plus is quite pricey for its specs but we will be reserving our judgment until it has passed through our series of tests.

Archive.org versionIt’s safe to say that the Nokia 5.1 Plus is a good option at Rs. 10,999. We understand that many phones in this segment now sport higher resolution displays, but honestly, we never found the HD+ display on this phone to be an issue. The hybrid dual-SIM slot might bother some, especially if you would like to use two SIMs and a microSD card. Low-light video performance was below average too, and light metering could have been better in daylight shots.

Archive.org versionOverall, we think the Nokia 5.1 Plus will really appeal to someone looking for a phone with a good design, performance or stock Android experience. However, if a good quality display or long battery life are your criteria, then this isn't the right phone for you.

Archive.org versionThat said, if I keep the competition aside, it’s an excellent Nokia phone at this price range. HMD has finally managed to deliver a phone which does well from most of the aspects at this price range. It packs in a design you will love, a display which is crisp, a battery which lasts easily for the day, games perform well, and it will keep getting the latest update. You can check more details in our FAQ.

Archive.org versionFor a price at Rs 10,999, Nokia 5.1 Plus does stand out in the budget segment, courtesy of its classy design and clean software experience. The glass design with a neat back panel will surely grab the user’s attention. Besides the Nokia 5.1 Plus is the first smartphone in the budget segment in India to offer a USB Type-C port.

Archive.org versionHMD hit all the right notes with the Nokia 6.1 Plus by offering an attractive design, a great performance and stock Android One software at Rs 15,999. The company has managed to replicate that with the Nokia 5.1 Plus as well, and that too at a far lower price point, which is great to see. The phone offers a similarly exquisite, compact design with an optimised notched display. The Helio P60 chipset is a great alternative to Snapdragon at this price and offers a consistently smooth experience alongside an optimised Android One software. A good day-long battery life is the icing on the cake. The Nokia 5.1 Plus is definitely one to go for if you’re on a budget.

Archive.org versionThe Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus look good and run a stock build of Android with the promise of timely updates. The Nokia 6.1 Plus has been priced at Rs. 15,999 and will go on sale on August 30 via Flipkart and Nokia's online store. The sleek and compact smartphone has been priced aggressively and looks set to give the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro (Review) and Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 (Review) a run for their money. HMD Global is yet to announce the price of the Nokia 5.1 Plus in India. The smartphone will go on sale by the end of September and will face tough competition from the likes of the Realme 1 (Review) and the lower variants of the ZenFone Max Pro M1.

The company is known for its telecommunications equipment and cell phones. Nokia was one of the leading manufacturers of cell phones in the 1990s and has expanded its business into networking and technology solutions in recent years.
In 2011, Nokia partnered with Microsoft on Windows-based cell phones and sold the entire cell phone division to Microsoft in 2014, which limited the Nokia brand name to basic cell phones. In 2016, Finnish electronics manufacturer HMD Global entered into a licensing agreement with Nokia, bought the remaining Nokia name rights from Microsoft Mobile, and since 2017 has exclusively offered Nokia cell phones worldwide, which are based on Android, among other things, and are produced by Foxconn.
