As a classic mobile phone brand that once monopolized the mobile phone market, Nokia has a memory in almost everyone's heart. In those young days, Nokia was like a close friend who accompanied us to cry and laugh and have fun together. However, in the cruel market competition, if you are a little careless, you will lose everything. In the era of the rapid rise of iPhone and Android, Nokia obviously stood in the wrong line and fell off the altar. With HMD taking over the Nokia brand, Nokia, which we are familiar with, has finally returned to the user's vision. However, compared with the previous Nokia, HMD is obviously more pragmatic, and the X series is a high cost performance series that focuses on the middle and low end.
Appearance and details
Nokia X5 has launched three color schemes this time, claiming to draw inspiration from the natural scenery of northern Europe, namely, polar night black, glacier white and Baltic blue. The glass back cover uses layered color rendering, which gives a good gloss.
In terms of screens, Nokia X5 has also joined the ranks of Liu Haiping. It is equipped with a 5.86-inch LCD screen at 19:9, with a resolution of 1520 * 720, that is, an elongated 720P. The bangs belong to the wide design, and the screen accounts for 84%. The body size is relatively small, which is more convenient for single hand operation.
The double camera, fill light and fingerprint recognition arranged in a vertical line, plus the glass backplane with OK texture, the overall design of the back is relatively pleasing, simple and not bloated. However, the accuracy of fingerprint identification is fairly good, but the wake-up speed is average and slightly delayed.
In terms of camera, Nokia X5 adopts 13 million pixels+5 million pixels rear dual camera, the main camera supports PDAF phase focusing, and the aperture is f/2.0; The secondary camera is a high-sensitivity black and white detection camera, which is responsible for detecting the depth of field virtualization, and supports later adjustment of focus.
The front camera is 8 million pixels, aperture f/2.2, wide-angle 80.4, and equipped with AI imaging technology to support beauty selfie. Nokia did not disclose the specific sensor model officially. Considering Nokia's previous performance in taking photos and the price of Nokia X5, users should not expect too much from taking photos of Nokia X5.

The most eye-catching feature of Nokia X5 is its configuration. It is equipped with MediaTek Helio P60, which is composed of four 2.0GHz A73 cores and four 2.0GHz A53 small cores. It is manufactured with a 12nm process. The game performance of MediaTek's official parameter P60 has improved by 70% compared with P23.
In terms of battery, it has a 3060mAh built-in lithium battery, and the attached charger is 5V 2A standard. Nokia X5 is equipped with Android 8.1 operating system from the factory, which is still the native Android like that Nokia has always used. There is not much pre installed software from the factory, and the smoothness performance is quite good. HMD also announced that it will upgrade to Android P as soon as possible.

Screen quality
Nokia X5 also adopts the popular Liu Hai screen, a 5.86-inch LCD screen with a ratio of 19:9, and a resolution of 1520 * 720, that is, an elongated 720P screen. The bangs belong to a relatively wide design, and the screen accounts for about 84%. The overall body size is relatively small, and the single hand operation is also convenient.
In terms of objective quality, the default color temperature is about 7600k, which is cold. The contrast is 1500:1, and the maximum brightness is 480 nits. The performance is good, all of which are within the normal parameter range of LCD screen. In terms of color gamut, sRGB coverage is only 85.8%, which is average. In the 104 color standard test, the average DeltaE is 3, and the highest DeltaE is 10, which is relatively ordinary.
Photographing and imaging
In terms of camera parameters, Nokia X5 adopts 13 million pixels+5 million pixels rear dual camera, the main camera supports PDAF phase focusing, and the aperture is f/2.0; The secondary camera is a high-sensitivity black and white detection camera, which is responsible for detecting the depth of field virtualization, and supports later adjustment of focus. Nokia did not indicate the specific model of the rear sensor. As a 1000 yuan machine, it can basically be said that performance and photography cannot be considered at the same time. After all, the cost is there. Photography is not the main selling point of Nokia X5.

The performance of the Nokia X5 in the daytime demo is still higher than expected. Although it is obviously weaker than the peers in all aspects, it is also a normal category of the thousand yuan machine. It is relatively close to the performance of the Red Rice Note 5 in the daytime, with each other winning or losing, slightly weaker. In terms of white balance, the Nokia X6 is slightly red.

If daytime samples reach the normal level of 1000 yuan, the gap between night samples will be widened, The Nokia X5 has obvious disadvantages when facing the Nokia X6 or the Red Rice Note 5. In addition to good sharpening and anti glare, it is weaker than the two contrast models in terms of image brightness and detail discrimination, with heavy smearing marks, general noise control, and heavy graininess. It can only be said that it is difficult to give consideration to all aspects of the thousand yuan machine. Within the limited cost, the performance, photography and screen are difficult to achieve their beauty. It is worth mentioning that after the firmware of Nokia X6 has been updated, the night shot effect has been significantly improved compared with that of the factory.
Performance and running score
In terms of configuration, the biggest selling point of the machine is the processor. A 720P screen with MediaTek Hellio P60 processor is more than enough in theory, but the actual use experience is still related to system optimization.
Graphic performance test
In terms of graphics performance, the performance of Nokia X5 is quite stable. The score of GFX is the same as that of R15 with the same processor. The score of 3DMark is slightly weaker than that of R15. On the whole, the graphics performance of P60 is at the level between Snapdragon 636 and Snapdragon 660. Although there is a big gap between P60 and Snapdragon 660, there is basically no pressure when facing many models of Snapdragon 636.
Memory performance test
The memory performance of P60 is quite excellent. The performance of the two models with Helio P60 is better than that of the other models with Snapdragon 660/636 in terms of single core or multi-core performance. This is also a consistent advantage of P60. The memory latency is slightly higher, but also in the normal range.
Storage read/write performance
The continuous read and write performance of the storage is relatively excellent, but the random read and write performance is lower than that of the Nokia X6, and the performance is not as strong as that of the R15 with the same processor.
Processor performance, emm... Why write processor performance last? Because Nokia X5 can't run GeekBench, it seems that the engineering machine in our hands has blocked GeekBench networking, so... in addition to the absent GeekBench score, The performance of RAR and Pi is relatively normal, but the performance is lower than that of OPPO R15 with the same processor model. In particular, the lag of RAR single thread is slightly larger than that of Snapdragon 636, which may be due to the engineering machine or the smaller body size to take care of heat dissipation. However, considering that the screen is only 720P, the performance of this SoC should be sufficient.
Endurance and charging
In terms of batteries, the Nokia X5 has a built-in 3060mAh lithium battery, which is a common capacity in this body size.
The endurance test still uses half an hour of games, half an hour of video, half an hour of WiFi Internet access. After our two-hour high-intensity endurance test, the Nokia X5 consumes 27% of the power, which is relatively poor in 1000 yuan computers. The power consumption of the game is particularly obvious, which is 4% more than the R15 with the same processor+1080P. Although the battery capacity is relatively small, the power consumption increases significantly for the two-hour test duration. （ The reason of engineering machine is not excluded, and then we will test again for correction ）
In terms of charging, the attached charger is at most 5V2A, and the theoretical maximum is only 10W. Although we use other brands of high-power PE chargers for testing, the highest power is still around 9.5W.
In terms of charging speed, it takes about 90 minutes from 5% to 90%, 30 minutes for trickle charging, and the total charging time is 120 minutes. The maximum charging power of 10W limits its charging speed, which is relatively slow. Over the past two years, the 1000 yuan machine has gradually supported fast charging（ Although the quick charging head is not usually included ）It is a pity that Nokia X5 does not support high power fast charging.
System and experience
In terms of the system, Nokia X5 adopts an operating system customized based on Android 8.1. After only slight customization and localization, the system is quite clean, very lightweight, close to native Android, and there is no messy customized UI to slow down the system. Plus the P60 processor, the smoothness of use is relatively good. This is a sufficient selling point for a 1000 yuan machine.
Although the system is very clean, it still has a certain localization adaptation for local users in China, with dual application, global gestures, somatosensory actions, etc. Compared with the pure native system, it still adds a lot of custom functions, which is easier to use and has lower costs.
The authority control and restriction of self startup are also in place. Automatic wake-up and lock screen retention can be set separately for each application, which is very powerful against rogue applications. While maintaining the fluency of the native system and relatively loose background process management, it can also effectively deal with rogue applications. The domestic Android ecosystem really needs to fight evil with evil.
summary
As the second model of Nokia X series, Nokia X5 is equipped with MediaTek Helio P60 processor. As a thousand yuan machine, each company has its own focus. Some focus on taking pictures, some focus on performance, some focus on appearance, and some focus on balance and practicality. Today's evaluation of the leading role Nokia X5 is obviously a focus on performance experience.
As MediaTek's SoC for the mid tier market, the P60's main competitor is the Snapdragon 660. Although its performance is slightly inferior to the latter, it still has no rivals at the price of 1000 yuan. This is the first time that this class of processor has appeared in the 1000 yuan machine, and its performance price ratio is really outstanding. However, at the price of 1000 yuan, it is obviously impossible to be perfect. While ensuring strong performance, it has also made some sacrifices. For example, although the 720P screen reduces the pressure on the processor, it also sacrifices a certain display effect; Another example is that the photographing effect is average, and the endurance performance is not good enough. To sum up, as the second product in the Nokia X series, the X5 is a product with distinct advantages and disadvantages. If users pay more attention to appearance design, performance and game performance, the Nokia X5 is still competitive at the price of 1000 yuan.
