What are the features do you especially remember about the Nokia phones from the 90s? Most probably many of you instantly think of the sculptural resistance of the phone, indestructible before any fall or another type of threat to the integrity of the equipment. The renewed Nokia, the one that resurfaced in the hands of HMD Global, promised that its new models, Nokia smartphones with Android, would also be characterized by their resistance. The Nokia 6 has already shown that it complies with the canon, so did the Nokia 8. Now it is the Nokia 5 that maintains the assumption.

Nokia 5 endurance test, in video

In the first instance, the video with the resistance test of the Nokia 5 makes it clear that the Gorilla Glass offers scratch resistance at a level 6 on the Mohs scale. In this sense, the results are identical to high-end smartphones. As for the camera and the flash, unlike the younger brother, the Nokia 3, the Nokia 5 smartphone has a high degree of resistance since both components are protected with hardened glass.

The “fire” test

As for the scratch resistance of the casing, Zack Nelson shows that the aluminium is of high quality and is present even on the side buttons. In this section, you can also see how the upper and lower profiles of the housing are topped with plastic material to favour the reception and emission of electromagnetic waves from the antenna. However, although the cutting of the cutter does not offer resistance, in the day to day should not pose any drawback from the structural point of view and strength of the casing.

Although the flame test of a cigarette lighter leaves a mark of the effect caused by heat on the display, the final test of fire is the one that tries to show us the resistance of the aluminium housing of the Nokia 5. In this last part of the test it is clear that the rigidity of the aluminium chassis is total and not even Zack Nelson, despite applying a significant amount of torque, neither the aluminium structure nor the Nokia 5 screen yields an apex. So, what do you think about this results and test? Simply share your views and thoughts in the comment section below.
