| Loving my new Nokia 5 Smartphone |
Just a few years back,
fashionistas had to wait a day or two before seeing official photos from
fashion photographers and event organizers. With the smartphone now more of a
fashion statement and a lifestyle, guests at fashion events can share real time
fashion moments in high-quality visuals on social media all by themselves. No
more waiting!
As a fashion PR Specialist
representing fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands and a columnist, I usually
find myself bustling through one event or the other. Using a device that is
solid and able to capture fashion moments while keeping me sane throughout is necessary.
The newly launched Nokia
Smartphone range that run on Android and look very smart with neat designs
intrigued me. The Nokia phones deliver a ‘pure Android’ experience which means
I have the choice to pick the kind of applications I need with monthly security updates that keep
my device safe and up to date. Having looked at the
Nokia 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 range of phones, I opted for the Nokia 5, which is
mid-range, compact, affordable and has the power and essentials I need.
Most people may have heard
of how crazy and fast-paced the fashion world is especially during fashion weeks.
Having clients showcasing could be pretty hectic from running backstage to the
red carpet and cocktail sessions and to capture every moment means you can’t
miss a thing.
Events happen fast so I need
a device that is cool to the touch, isn't slippery and can capture fashion moments
the best possible way.
There is a lot to like about
Nokia's mid-range Nokia 5 handset and I was surprised to find out since I was
not sure what to expect.
A Great Camera
It is often said, a picture
is worth a thousand words. I love photos and love taking photos. The Nokia 5 camera
can capture much better shots with stronger colors. The 13-megapixel rear
camera takes sharp shots with a good exposure balance. Though the colors aren't
very bold, it suits fine when I want to take quick snaps to look back on and
most times share on my social media pages. Its 8-megapixel front camera with an
HDR mode gives sharp, well-balanced selfies for us selfie lovers.
With many fashion events
happening at night, the Nokia 5’s automatic scene detection and wide aperture
helps me to get great night-time shots, while colors look natural thanks to the
dual-tone flash.
A Sleek Curved Design
This phone is simply gorgeous.
It has a 5.2in display within a compact smooth body that feels incredibly
premium with sleek rounded edges that make it comfortable to hold. It comes in
various colors such as the Matte Black, Silver, Tempered Blue or Copper. These
colors are exciting for those of us in the fashion world because you do not
have to sacrifice design for quality. The Nokia 5 is fashionable.
The phone also has a clean,
pure back without antenna lines, which are now at the top and bottom of the
phone. Together with the display sculpted fancy Corning Gorilla Glass, this
makes for a clean look unspoilt by seams or lines. Quite impressive.
Especially
since I’m able to navigate seamlessly with a fingerprint sensor that doubles as
a home button for that extra convenience.
A Strong Battery
A day in the life of a fashion
publicist could look like an un-ending one. With a non-removable 3000mAh
battery that charges via Micro USB, the Nokia 5 lasts a full day on one charge
with reasonably heavy use, and two days or more with light use. An ideal
balance of performance and battery life to keep me updated and alive all
through the day coordinating and at photoshoots and night at fashion events.
With a great camera, awesome
performance and a stunning design, the Nokia 5 delivers a reasonably competitive
android experience as I get to re-live my storytelling life any day.
