HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, has unveiled the Nokia 5 in the South African market. Powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 430 mobile platform. The device features the latest Android 7.1.1.

The 13MP Phase Detection Auto Focus camera has been integrated into the body. Bringing with it a dual tone flash to mimic ambient light, the camera has been optimised for all light conditions.

The Nokia 5 comes with biometric fingerprint authentication, the device features Google’s most recent innovation, the Google Assistant, building further on a great Android experience.

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. “Whilst 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.”
With additional features including an 8MP, 84-degree wide-angle front facing camera – to squeeze even more scene into your selfie – and excellent sunlight and low light screen visibility.
