Should You Buy?
Overall, the Nokia 5.1 Plus is another solid offering from HMD Global. It brings in a beautiful, compact & premium feeling fiberglass back design, bezel less display with a notch, excellent performance, decent cameras, decent battery backup & all this with the sweetness of Android One which ensures stock UI & faster security & Android updates. One thing which would have made the phone perfect for its price is a FHD+ display, however, the HD+ display on the phone isn’t bad either. The Nokia 5.1 Plus isn’t the best but it is indeed a very good budget smartphone and if you are looking for a clean, stock Android interface, there is nothing better than this around Rs. 10,000.
