Nokia's 2017 budget contender runs on a Snapdragon 430 chipset paired with either 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. That's modest by today's standards, but a microSD slot supporting up to 256GB gives you room to add media without paying for a higher storage tier. The 5.2-inch IPS LCD display runs at 720 x 1280, fine for everyday browsing and video though not sharp by current phone standards.

On the camera side, there's a 13MP rear shooter with dual-LED flash and an 8MP front camera, enough for casual photos in decent light. A 3000mAh battery keeps things running through a normal day, and there's a front-mounted fingerprint sensor along with NFC support, both useful extras for a phone at this level.

Nokia 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM399, and it comes in Tempered Blue, Silver, Matte Black and Copper. It ships with Android 7.1.1 Nougat, upgradable to Android 9.0 Pie.
