So I got into my hands a brand new Nokia 5 smartphone on Android 7, with a typical problem they forgot the graphic key. It is almost impossible to make a factory reset with standard functions from the menu of a phone with a locked screen, in this regard, I decided to do such a reset via a hard reset, and since I did not find instructions with all the recommendations, I decided to write it myself.

To begin with, I'll tell you a little about why you need a hard reset and what faults it can fix. This manipulation is resorted to only if it is not possible to make a factory reset using standard methods. I will say right away that after Hard reset, all the data that was in the smartphone will be deleted, and the device will acquire the state of the phone from the factory.

Thanks to this, you will not only reset the forgotten pattern, but also remove annoying errors such as, the application is stopped, there is not enough memory when installing programs, etc.

Warning: starting with android 5 and higher, in our case we will perform such a reset on a Nokia 5 smartphone with a pre-installed android 7 system, know the account and password is required, otherwise you will not be able to activate your smartphone after the reset. I described how to create an account on the phone in this topic "".

Reading the comments, I decided to update the topic today on 07.11.2018. If you decide to do a factory reset on your Nokia phone, but don't remember your Google account and the phone still works, but with glitches, I advise you to do "", and then proceed to "hard reset". This unlock will unlink your smartphone from your account. Best regards to you!

Well, now, in principle, we read the instruction itself carefully, since it differs in a small feature and a universal scheme as in this topic "" will not work.

Let's start, if your Nokia 5 smartphone is on, turn it off and wait for a complete shutdown. Attention: after a complete shutdown, we take the charger and connect our smartphone to charging, this action is mandatory, otherwise you will not be able to make a factory reset via a hard reset. We are waiting for the battery to appear on the display as during charging, the screenshot below.

And only after the battery indicator disappears, hold down the volume key plus "+" and turn on the "Power" simultaneously (the location of the buttons is shown in the picture below).

By holding these buttons, the display will show the logo with the inscription Android, continue to hold the buttons for 3-5 seconds, then release the power button, hold the volume “+” pressed.

A couple more seconds and you will be taken to the recovery menu, the same as in the screenshot below. Using the volume buttons "+" and "-" move to the section "wipe data / factory reset" by selecting it, confirm our choice with the power button.

In the window that appears, in the same way, move to "Yes" and confirm the action with the power button, after which the phone itself will automatically reset the smartphone to the factory state.

The whole process takes place in automatic mode, upon completion of which you will be thrown into the initial menu. In it, select "reboot system now" and confirm the action.

This concludes our instruction, your phone will reboot and acquire the state of a smartphone from the factory. The first launch after the Hard Reset is performed rather slowly due to the fact that the reinstallation of virtually the entire Android operating system is taking place. We configure the switched on phone as a new one, and if we have a ready account, enter it and enjoy the phone without errors and a pattern. Have questions on this topic, write comments with questions, I will be glad to help. Best regards to you!

The middle model in the family of new smartphones of the former Finnish brand

Last spring, during the MWC 2017 exhibition, simultaneously with the reincarnation of the legendary Nokia 3310, new smartphones Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 were also announced. As you know, the rights to smartphones and phones under the Nokia brand are currently owned by HMD Global, which calls itself so: “ Home for Nokia Phones ”.

The well-known Chinese company Foxconn is directly involved in the production of new models, at the factories of which Apple smartphones are also produced. More precisely, one of the company's factories, which is located in India, is engaged in the production of Nokia smartphones. So far, three models have been released in the updated Nokia family: Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6. We will start our acquaintance with them with the best option: consider the Nokia 5 smartphone, which is not the most expensive, but also not the weakest in terms of technical characteristics. occupying the middle position in the ruler.

Contents of delivery

A single packaging design was chosen for the entire new Nokia line. This is a rather unpretentious flat box made of thin cardboard, brightly decorated in a youthful way. It looks inexpensive, but there is a certain style of its own.

The set consists of a connecting cable, as well as a power adapter with an output current of 2 A and a maximum voltage of 5 V, and useless plastic headphones without rubber pads that do not fit in your ears. A metal key for removing cards is standardly attached to a cardboard insert.

Appearance and usability

Design is one of the strongest points of Nokia 5. This inexpensive, in fact, smartphone with ordinary characteristics looks much more expensive than its level. The minimalist case is made entirely of metal by milling. The sturdy frame also has a matte, smooth, tactile finish that does not leave fingerprints.

In terms of proportions and dimensions, the Nokia 5 is a medium-sized smartphone, small and thin, although not so light. By today's standards, it can even be called graceful. The sides and ends are noticeably rounded, and for external antennas, the usual grooves are made not on the rear panel, but on the ends themselves, they are practically invisible.

Due to its small size, the smartphone is generally comfortable to hold in the hand, but its smooth, streamlined surfaces can be quite slippery. Most likely, all this beauty will have to be hidden in a protective case so as not to drop the smartphone on the floor.

The elongated module with a camera and flash, covered with glass and surrounded by a thin chrome bezel, also looks stylish. The flash consists of two multi-colored LEDs and shines incredibly brightly - the Nokia 5 has one of the brightest flashlights we have ever seen in a smartphone.

There is no event LED above the screen. There is no front flash either, its role for the selfie camera is played by the backlight of the screen itself, which turns on a second before shooting; this is a common solution.

In the lower part there are backlit touch buttons, and the time of their backlighting can be manually adjusted at your discretion. The central touch button has no backlight, it is not mechanical, it has a built-in fingerprint scanner pad.

There are no complaints about the scanner's operation, the recognition is clear and fast. The finger can be brought at any angle, up to 5 fingerprints are remembered. The central touch button itself works as usual: a short touch returns to the home screen, a long touch calls Google Now.

The installation of cards in the body of a smartphone is not quite as usual. There is not a single hybrid connector, but two different ones: one has two slots for Nano-SIM cards, and the second is completely given over to microSD memory cards. It is very convenient, there is no need to sacrifice anything. Taking into account the very elegant and thin body of Nokia 5, we sadly have to admit that manufacturers do not resort to the notorious hybrid connectors because of lack of space - they simply save on user comfort, reducing their costs. Against this background, Nokia's decision commands only respect.

The buttons on the opposite side are medium-sized, metal. They have, perhaps, a tougher stroke than we would like, but the response to pressing is very clear, there are no special complaints about the buttons.

The main speaker is brought to the bottom end, there is also a spoken microphone hole and a USB connector. Everything would be fine, but the use of Micro-USB is starting to amaze: the general course is unambiguously taken on the use of USB Type-C connectors, so why pull with the transition? All the same, after all, someday you will have to do it ...

The upper end is dedicated to a 3.5 mm audio output for headphones. The hole for the auxiliary microphone is moved a little further, to the back surface, closer to the camera module, which is logical.

The Nokia 5 comes in four different colors: navy blue (indigo), black, silver and copper. The front panel under glass in both dark and light cases remains the same color: it is always black.

Screen

The Nokia 5 features an IPS display covered by 2.5D Gorilla Glass with sloping edges. The physical dimensions of the screen are 65 × 115 mm, the diagonal is 5.2 inches. The resolution is 1280 × 720, the dot density is only about 282 ppi. The frame around the screen is standard: on the sides it has a total width of 3.5 mm, bottom and top - 17 mm each.

The brightness of the display can be manually adjusted or automatic settings can be used based on the operation of the ambient light sensor. The AnTuTu test diagnoses support for 10 simultaneous multitouch touches.

A detailed examination using measuring instruments was carried out by the editor of the sections " Monitors" and " Projectors and TV » Alexey Kudryavtsev... Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the test sample.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are better than that of the screen Google Nexus 7 (2013)(hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the switched off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Nokia 5, then they can be distinguished by their size):

The Nokia 5's screen is slightly darker (photo brightness is 107 versus 118 for Nexus 7). The doubling of reflected objects in the Nokia 5 screen is very weak, which means that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS-type screen - One Glass Solution). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (such as glass / air) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of intense ambient light, but their repair in the case of cracked outer glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be changed. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (better than the Nexus 7 in terms of efficiency), so fingerprints are removed much more easily, and appear at a slower rate than in the case of ordinary glass.

With manual brightness control and with output white field full screen the maximum brightness value was about 530 cd / m², the minimum - 2 cd / m². The maximum brightness is very high, and given the excellent anti-glare properties, readability even on a sunny day outdoors should be good. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable value. In the presence of automatic brightness control by the light sensor (it is located to the right of the front speaker slot). In automatic mode, when the ambient light conditions change, the screen brightness both increases and decreases. This function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment slider. If it is 100%, then in complete darkness the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 37 cd / m2 (normal), in an office lit with artificial light (about 550 lx) it sets to 160 cd / m2 (suitable), in a very bright environment (corresponds illumination on a clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more), the brightness rises to 530 cd / m² (to the maximum, this is what you need); if the adjustment is about 50%, then the values are as follows: 22, 90 and 380 cd / m² (the first and third values are underestimated), the regulator by 0% - 2, 40 and 190 cd / m² (all three values are underestimated, which is logical). It turns out that the automatic brightness control function works adequately and to some extent allows the user to customize his work for individual requirements. Only at a very low brightness level there is a significant modulation of the backlight, but its frequency is high, about 2.2 kHz, so even in this case there is no visible screen flicker.

This smartphone uses an IPS-type matrix. The micrographs show the typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, see photomicrograph gallery screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without significant color shift, even with large gaze deviations from the perpendicular to the screen, and without tint inversion. For comparison, here are some photos showing the same images on the screens of Nokia 5 and Nexus 7, while the brightness of the screens was initially set to about 200 cd / m², and the color balance on the camera was forcibly switched to 6500 K.

White field perpendicular to screens:

Note the good (of course, imperfect) uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field.

And the test picture:

The color saturation on the Nokia 5's screen is normal, the colors are close to natural, although the color contrast is slightly overestimated. The color balance of the Nexus 7 and the tested screen is slightly different.

Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, but in Nokia 5 the contrast has decreased to a greater extent due to the strong black lightening.

And white box:

The brightness at an angle of the screens decreased (at least 5 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but the Nokia 5 screen is still slightly lighter at this angle. When deviated diagonally, the black field is lightened strongly and acquires a bluish or reddish tint. The photos below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same!):

And from a different angle:

When viewed from a perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is poor:

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is normal - about 840: 1. The response time for the transition black-white-black is 23 ms (13 ms on + 10 ms off). The transition between gray tones of 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes 37 ms in total. The gamma curve, plotted using 32 points at equal intervals in terms of the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal a blockage in either the highlights or the shadows. The exponent of the approximating power function is 2.36, which is higher than the standard value of 2.2, but in this case it does not really matter. In this case, the real gamma curve deviates somewhat from the power-law dependence:

We did not reveal the presence of dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness in accordance with the nature of the displayed image, which is very good.

The color gamut is almost equal to sRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix filters moderately mix the components together:

As a result, visually, the colors on this screen hardly differ from natural ones, almost, since the color contrast is slightly overestimated. The balance of shades on the gray scale is not very good, since on light shades the color temperature is not much higher than the standard 6500 K, and the deviation from the spectrum of a black body (ΔE) is below 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device. However, with dark shades, the color temperature and ΔE change greatly - this negatively affects the visual assessment of the color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since the color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

Let's summarize. The screen has a very high maximum brightness and has excellent anti-reflective properties, so the device can be used outdoors without any problems, even on a sunny summer day. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable level. It is also acceptable to use the mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works adequately. The advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, no air gap in the layers of the screen and no flicker, color gamut close to sRGB. The disadvantages are low stability of black to deviation of the gaze from the perpendicular to the plane of the screen, poor uniformity of the black field and some overestimation of the color contrast. Nevertheless, given the importance of characteristics for this particular class of devices, the screen quality can be considered high.

Camera

The front module of the Nokia 5 has a sensor with a resolution of 8 megapixels and a relatively wide-angle lens (84 °) with an aperture of f / 2.0, with automatic focus and without its own flash. The role of the flash is played by the backlight of the screen itself; it can be forcedly activated when using this function.

There is a portrait retouch mode with several levels of effect saturation. The quality of selfies is good: the image has good field of view sharpness and detail, the color rendition is correct, and the distortion of objects is not so strong, given the wide-angle optics designed for group shots.

The main camera uses a 13-megapixel sensor module with a pixel size of 1.12 microns and an f / 2.0 aperture lens. The camera is equipped with fast phase detection autofocus PDAF. Dual two-color flash, shines very brightly.

The control menu is simple, all settings are collected in one long drop-down list. There are not a lot of settings, the choice of aspect ratio and photo and video resolution for both cameras can be immediately set in a single subsection of the menu, which is convenient. You can manually adjust the white balance, perform exposure compensation, choose focusing options - or all this can be left to the mercy of auto-detection of scene modes.

The camera can shoot video in maximum Full HD resolution @ 30 fps, there is no stabilization function. Handheld shooting on the go isn't smooth, but otherwise the camera handles video well. The image is light, there are no complaints about sharpness and color rendition. The sound is recorded quite well.

Movie number 1(28 MB, 1920 × [email protected] fps, H.264, AAC)
Movie number 2(33 MB, 1920 × [email protected] fps, H.264, AAC)

	The camera works well for macro photography in low light conditions.
	Good shadow detail.
	The camera copes with macro photography.
	Good detail in the distant shots.
	The text has been worked out well.
	Good sharpness across the frame.
	The detail and sharpness of the plans are good.

The camera can be called almost a flagship one, it is noticeably better than the camera used in Nokia 3. The detailing of the images is adequate, the distant shots hardly merge, and even in the shadows the camera works out the details well. Pictures of text and macro, perhaps, cannot be called ideal. However, the camera does a good job of documentary and artistic photography.

Telephone part and communications

The communication capabilities of Nokia 5 are quite satisfactory. Several LTE FDD frequency bands are supported, including 3 bands of interest to us (band 3, 7, 20), as well as two TDD LTE bands. The device behaves confidently in the city limits of the Moscow region, the quality of signal reception raises no objections.

In addition, both Wi-Fi bands (2.4 and 5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.1 are supported. The device has an NFC module installed, which successfully works with the Troika travel card. It is possible to connect external devices to the USB port in USB OTG mode.

The phone application supports Smart Dial, the methods of sorting and displaying contacts are standard for the Android interface, there is a blacklist for unwanted contacts (you can add them to the list of blocked numbers).

Software and multimedia

As a software platform, the Nokia 5 uses the latest Android OS version 7.1.1 - of course, with the ability to update over the air. This is one of the more curious things about the new Nokia smartphones. The creators decided to abandon all sorts of experiments with shells and now proudly announce that their devices run on a completely "pure" Android OS. Moreover, HMD Global is so carried away by this topic that they promised all three smartphones, as well as the most recently presented flagship Nokia 8, a quick update to Android O (Android 8). Prior to that, only OnePlus from third-party companies stated that its previously released OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T smartphones will be updated to the eighth version of the Android operating system upon its release.

There are practically no third-party programs here, everything you need is achieved using Google Apps.

To listen to music, a regular Google Music player with sound settings and built-in equalizer presets is used. Both in headphones and through the speaker, the device sounds loud and clear, the sound is pleasant to the ear, thick and rich. There is only one main speaker in the device, but thanks to the TFA9891 amplifier it sounds quite powerful.

There is also an FM radio, but there was no built-in voice recorder in the smartphone.

Performance

The hardware platform of the Nokia 5 is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, which uses 28nm technology. This SoC includes eight 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 cores up to 1.4 GHz. GPU Adreno 505 is responsible for graphics processing. The amount of RAM is 2 GB, and the built-in flash memory is 16 GB. Of these, less than 9 GB of storage is free and no more than 850 MB of RAM.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 platform has already received a successor in the form of the Snapdragon 435, but here, unfortunately, an outdated version is installed. There are actually quite a few differences between these two Qualcomm SoCs: at least due to the old platform, the Nokia 5 does not support LTE Cat.6. However, in terms of performance, there is almost no difference between them, both platforms give out about 45K points in AnTuTu, which is below average. Snapdragon 430 is significantly slower than other currently popular mid-range mobile platforms, such as MediaTek Helio P10, Kirin 655 and even more so Snapdragon 625.

However, in real scenarios, this SoC is still enough to perform basic tasks, you can even play games. Modern Kombat X practically does not slow down, other games run even smoother. However, the headroom for future updates Nokia 5 does not have.

Benchmarking AnTuTu and GeekBench:

All the results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the most recent versions of popular benchmarks, we have summarized in tables for convenience. Several other devices from various segments are usually added to the table, also tested on similar latest versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the obtained dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison, it is impossible to present the results from different versions of benchmarks, therefore, many worthy and relevant models remain behind the scenes - due to the fact that they once passed the "obstacle course" on previous versions of test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in game tests 3DMark, GFXBenchmark and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones, it is now possible to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (which can cause the speed to rise above 60 fps).

	Nokia 5 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 430)	Moto E4 Plus (MediaTek (MT6737)	HTC One X10 (MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755))	Honor 6X (HiSilicon Kirin 655)	Asus Zenfone 3 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 625)
3DMark Ice Storm Sling Shot ES 3.1 (more is better)	299	99	421	378	466
GFXBenchmark Manhattan ES 3.1 (Onscreen, fps)	10	3	5	5	6
GFXBenchmark Manhattan ES 3.1 (1080p Offscreen, fps)	4,6	1	5	5	6

GFXBenchmark T-Rex ES 2.0 (1080p Offscreen, fps)	16	6	17	19	23

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for evaluating the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowances for the fact that the results in them significantly depend on the browser in which they are launched, so that the comparison can be truly correct only on the same OS and browsers, and this possibility is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

AndroBench memory speed test results:

Thermal imagery

Below is a thermal image back surface obtained after 10 minutes of battery test in the GFXBenchmark program:

Heating is more localized in the upper part of the device, which, apparently, corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat chamber, the maximum heating was 34 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), which is relatively little.

Video playback

We used most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Web. Note that it is important for mobile devices to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is often impossible to process modern versions using processor cores alone. Also, do not expect a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are tabulated.

Format	Container, video, sound	MX Video Player	Native video player
1080p H.264	MKV, H.264 1920 × 1080, 24 fps, AAC		reproduced normally
1080p H.264	MKV, H.264 1920 × 1080, 24 fps, AC3	reproduced normally (HW)	video plays fine, no sound
1080p H.265	MKV, H.265 1920 × 1080, 24 fps, AAC		not reproduced
1080p H.265	MKV, H.265 1920 × 1080, 24 fps, AC3	reproduced normally only by software decoder (SW)	not reproduced

Further video playback testing was done by Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find the MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to confine ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see "Testing methods for video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices)" Red marks indicate possible problems related to the playback of the corresponding files.

According to the criterion for outputting frames, the quality of video playback on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since in most cases frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required) to be displayed with a more or less uniform alternation of intervals and without frame drops. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels (720p) on a smartphone screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly along the edge of the screen, one to one pixel by pixel, that is, in the original resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235: in the shadows, about a couple of shades merge with black, and in the highlights, all gradations are displayed.

Battery life

The non-removable battery in the Nokia 5 does not have the largest capacity at 3000 mAh. Nevertheless, even with such a battery, the device demonstrated a very decent level of autonomy, there are no complaints about this parameter to the hero of the review. In real life scenarios, the smartphone can easily live an eventful day before charging overnight.

Testing has traditionally been carried out at the usual level of power consumption without using power saving features, although these are naturally available in the smartphone.

Continuous reading in the Moon + Reader program (with a standard, light theme) at a minimum comfortable brightness level (the brightness was set to 100 cd / m2) with auto scrolling lasted about 15.5 hours until the battery was fully discharged, and with continuous viewing of high quality video ( 720p) with the same brightness level via a home Wi-Fi network, the device operates for about 10.5 hours. In 3D games mode, the smartphone can work up to 7 hours.

The supplied AC adapter (output current 2 A 5 V) charges the smartphone for about 2 hours 45 minutes with a current of 1.9 A at a voltage of 5 V. Wireless charging is not supported.

Outcome

Nokia 5 turned out to be quite an interesting device for its price, and its price cannot be called high: now in the official Russian retail the certified Nokia 5 is sold for 13 thousand rubles. This stylish smartphone in a neat thin metal case has a good screen, sounds decent, very good in terms of shooting quality, has quite satisfactory communication capabilities, and is very good for its level in terms of battery life. There is no reason to praise the power of the hardware platform, but for such a price it is not a failure either. And given the people's love for the Finnish brand, perhaps something will come out of the next revival of the legendary brand. At least HMD Global seems to be very determined, and fans of the Nokia brand are ready to support it.
