Buyers should not expect miracles from Mediatek's Helio P10 processor and the ARM Mali T860 GPU. At 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB storage space, its memory configuration is not exactly abundant either. However, the camera features and the design seem to have hit the nail on the head.

Nokia 5.1 (2018) Review

The Nokia 5.1 is a no nonsense phone with a no nonsense price tag. It's solid, reliable and the Android One operating system should ensure it remains so for a pretty long time. If you have a little patience, you can get great photos out of it too. Just don't try the selfie camera.
