Nokia X5 to Debut in India as Nokia 5.1 Plus, Likely to Give a Hard Time to Redmi Note 5 and RealMe 1

The Nokia X5 recently made its way to Chinese stores and given the success and likability of the device there is nothing to stop us from expecting the device in India. However, it is entirely possible that Nokia might release this phone with the title of Nokia 5.1 Plus in India instead of Nokia X5. The major brands which will rival Nokia 5.1 Plus in the Indian market are going to be Realme and Xiaomi. While the former is a pretty new entrant in the race of budget phones, it still is a solid competitor. Without any delay let’s take a bird’s eye view on the five best features of the Nokia X5/Nokia 5.1 Plus to see how it will attempt to beat Realme or Xiaomi.

Design
The Realme 1 and the Redmi Note 5 both lag behind Nokia in this regard. HMD Global owned brand has been known to make rock solid phones in the past, and it continues to put in substantial work in the designs of its phones even now. The Nokia X5 comes with a glass front and back which puts it ahead of the Realme 1 which, although, sports a premium feel, it still comes with a plastic casing.

Notch
With Nokia X5 sporting the notch, it remains an evident fact that the notch is no longer limited to the premium or flagship segment. By introducing the Nokia X5, Nokia has brought the notch design to the Rs 10,000 price point. Combine that with the glass front and back, the Nokia X5 scores highly on the aesthetics page.

Android One
The Nokia X5, in China, released without Android One branding on the rear, but the Nokia 5.1 Plus, in India, will come with Android One certification, meaning that it will be eligible for monthly security patches and quick Android updates. The device will also rapidly receive Android P and Android Q update when it comes out. The phone will boot pure stock Android which means that users will be able to experience a bloatware free software on their phones.
