Here are the full specs of the Nokia 3 and Nokia 5

Earlier today, Nokia Mobile held its Mobile World Congress 2017 event in Barcelona, where HMD Global announced the Nokia 3 and Nokia 5, along with global availability of the Nokia 6 and a revamped version of the iconic 3310. On top of that, you can even play Snake on Facebook starting today.

But when the firms announced the Nokia 3 and 5, they barely mentioned any specifications for the devices at all. Luckily, product listings for the handsets are now available, so we can now see all that here is to know.

Here are the full specs for the Nokia 3, which will cost €139:

The Nokia 5 is to be the mid-range model, so it comes in at €189. Here are the full specs:

CPU Snapdragon 430, 1.4GHz octa-core ARM Cortex-A53
GPU Adreno 505
Display 5.2", 720p, 500 nits, LCD
Body 149.7 x 72.5 x 8.05mm (8.55mm with camera bump)
Storage 16GB, expandable to 128GB
RAM 2GB

Front camera 8MP with autofocus, f/2 aperture, 84-degree FOV
Battery 3000mAh
OS Android 7.1.1 Nougat
Cellular bands GSM: 850/900/1800/1900; WCDMA: Band 1, 2, 5, 8; LTE: Band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40
Network speed LTE Category 4, 150Mbps down/50Mbps up
Colors Tempered Blue, Silver, Matte Black, and Copper


It's worth noting that the Nokia 5 seems to have the same front camera sensor as the 3; however, it doesn't list the LCD flash, which is the ability to light up the display and use it as a flash. This is presumably an oversight.

Another thing that's curious is the network speeds. Qualcomm lists the Snapdragon 430 with its X6 modem as supporting up to 75Mbps upload speeds, rather than the 50Mbps that Nokia says the phone supports.

Still, the Nokia 5 is definitely the better device when it comes to specs, and you get the latest version of Android with it, something that very few non-Nexus phones have. The camera has phase detection autofocus, which can be a huge help for those that was to get that quick shot.

Both handsets are slated to arrive in the second quarter of this year.
