Nokia 5 setting new standards for brand

The Nokia 5 currently available on the market, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 mobile platform, with the latest Android 7.1.1, is a pure android which allows for longer battery life .

The phone has been precision engineered out of a single block of 6 000 series aluminium to create a perfect pillowed body that flows seamlessly into the laminated 5.2˝ IPS HD display with sculpted Corning Gorilla Glass which makes it harder to break.

The phone features an innovation in antenna design, resulting in a beautiful 3D curved finish that has an uninterrupted purity.

In combination with its tough-wearing sculpted glass, the smartphone has the best protection from everyday bumps and bangs, bringing robust structural integrity, attention to detail and the quality of a high-end flagship.

In keeping with its elegant design, the 13MP Phase Detection Auto Focus camera has been beautifully integrated into the body.

With a dual tone flash to mimic ambient light, the camera has been optimised for all light conditions, delivering sharp low light images and capturing natural colours and skin tones indoors and out.

With monthly security updates, the phone is safe, upto-date as well as clutter-free – putting choice at the heart of the consumer experience.

With the latest android comes the latest features, including Doze, which saves battery life while the phone is stored.

The device is secured with biometric fingerprint authentication, delivering enhanced security and making it a versa- tile companion whatever your needs. Google’s most recent innovation, the Google Assistant, is integrated on the phone.

“With the ongoing explosion in smartphone functionality and services, we spend more time than ever holding our phones. So, people want something that belongs in the hand and they want something that will go the distance,” said Shaun Durandt, general manager, Southern Africa, HMD Global.

“While Nokia 5 is the ultimate pocketable phone at 5.2 inches, its sleek, beautiful design means you’ll want to keep it in your hand for longer.”

The phone will come in four colours; matte black, silver, tempered blue and copper.

It will sell for an estimated price of R2 999 at selected retailers – Citizen reporter
