Why Should You buy?

5.2” polarized HD Corning Gorilla Glass display: One of the highlights of this handset is the 5.2-inch display on the front that has HD resolution and comes protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass. However, another USP of the handset is that it comes Polarised, which makes it pretty well lit and sharp to watch.

Powerful cameras: Nokia, back in its heyday, was known for the quality of camera on the rear panel. We can expect the new handset to have the same level of imaging as the new device will come with an 8 Megapixels snapper on front, which has a wide angle lens. The rear panel houses a 13 Megapixels snapper with automatic scene selection and dual tone LED flash.

Stock OS: It was being expected earlier that as and when the brand will make a comeback, the Android handset will have a custom skin running atop the stock OS, as it had done in past. However, it comes as a pleasant surprise that the device comes running on the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system and that too in its stock avatar.

Why Should You Not buy?

Poor battery: One of the drawbacks of the handset is 3000 mAh battery under the rear panel of the device. While the battery might look weak on paper, its is expected that since it is Nokia, it might actually have a good battery life.
