Have I reviewed the same phone???????
+Nokia 5.1 in Black 5.5" screen 16GBI have to say I think this is a VERY GOOD PHONE, its well built, easy to set up, simple to use, has a good screen & picture.I get a much better mobile reception with this phone compared with my previous phone. & it has excellent features inc fingerprint scanner, facial recognition, NFC, ANDROID PAY, 16mp rear camera etc etc, + IT'S made from a solid aluminium block, and all for an incredible price from AMAZON - whats not to like?With regards to Bluetooth, I found the phone connected instantly with my car, my laptop and my Amazon Echo divices with no issues.This phone is excellent value for money & I would highly recommend it, as it PROVES you do not need to spend hundreds of £££££ to get a GOOD mobile phone.-The Only negatives are, although this phone comes with 16gb on board, a large amout of this memory is already used up by the phone (but its not unusual to see this) so you will need a micro CD card.

The Most Disappointing Phone I have ever owned
I have been a Nokia fan/owner for a very long time, my first phone ever was Nokia (30+ Years ago). This phone feels great in your hand has some really neat features like the dedicated finger print recognition, really great battery power and runs the latest Android 9 (Pie edition) software. This is where my experience ended.After 24 hours of ownership the the phone would not reply or send messages to anyone, it also started to stop me making calls to my contacts and also the finger print recognition started to become flakey (intermittent working). Also not switching off do not disturb. Changed Sim 4 times, contacted Nokia technical services 4 times, called my service provider 20 plus times.I sent the first one back and got a refund and got another phone, thinking these things happen. The second one arrived worked for the first 24 hours problem free and then it all started again. Exactly the same issues. This is not a coincidence, this is not a sim or network issues as in the last 8 weeks I have checked with other phones. I would love to hear if anyone else had the same issues. Gone back to my old Phone giving up on Apps the old windows phone until that actually Dies.

Good value budget phone - nice design, functional but a bit laggy and quirky
I purchased this for a very reasonable price, and have now had it for six months, so I feel in a good place to review it now.In summary, there are more pros than cons, especially at the price.Pros:- A good-looking phone that could pass as more expensive than it actually is- Comes with Android One and updates frequently. In fact, Nokia devices update Android quicker than any other brands, according to recent research - so a big tick in the box for security and stability of the OS on this device- Lots of extra storage available via SD card update, so 16GB on-board storage is OK for me, even though I have installed lots of apps- It isn't the quickest device and is unlikely to satisfy those used to the seamless performance of more expensive iOS or Android devices. But after updating to Android 9 Pie, performance is acceptable for the price.- Battery life is adequate though not outstanding, with a not-so-quick charge time. All the same, the phone doesn't have the same weird battery memory issues that I've seen plague iPhones across my family...- The camera is acceptable, but not outstanding, with a lack of sharpness to some images (especially in low light)- I have had none of the issues with WiFi other users were reporting when I bought the device - don't know if this has been reported in recent times. WiFi is seamless and never fails to work.Cons:- The device can be laggy on occasion, with inexplicable lock-ups for a few seconds before certain apps open, or the switch between apps can be instigated. This is less obvious after updating to Android 9, but some apps are noticeably slower to load than on my old iPhone SE (such as Peak Brain Training)- Google Pay is not as good as Apple Pay. I don't know if it's device-related, but 80-90% of the time it works fine, but on other occasions needs the device to be unlocked (despite the fact it is), or on rarer occasions isn't recognised by the terminal you're trying to use. Not ideal when it's the only payment option you've got with you!- My old iPhone worked fine with my old Parrot Bluetooth in the car. After some phone updates, I've had to re-pair the phone with Bluetooth. Sometimes, the phone insists I unlock it to pair with the so-called 'headset' instead of activating 'Hey Google' - and other times, it inexplicably uses the speakerphone rather than Bluetooth! Not great if you're trying to phone home while driving...- In recent times, the phone doesn't recognise my SD card on start-up, and I have to wait or minute or two after powering on for apps installed on the SD card to work. No settings changed, or rhyme or reason to this happening (other than possibly one of the updates causing it).All in all, for the price, this is a good phone, but not without faults. With a good fingerprint sensor and face recognition for the money, and lots of decent tech, it's certainly well worthy of consideration as a budget device. The minor quirks and slowness with some apps doesn't offset its usability for me.I will happily keep it for a while and save a lot of money on my mobile contract by not spending hundreds of extra pounds on hardware and sticking to a cheap SIM-only deal with all the minutes, texts and data I need. From that point of view, I can't fault this device.

Excellent Android Phone
Gorgeous screen. Quality metal build. Great Android One OS. I installed a 32bg sd card to increase the memory and it is working fine. Feature packed phone for under £120.
