Nokia 5 review (display)
The Nokia 5 is equipped with a 5.2-inch 720p IPS display - nothing overly fancy, but still a decent 282ppi density. It's a classic RGB arrangement with equal numbers of subpixels for the three primary colors.
The Nokia 5 is very bright at its maximum setting, and you can get all 630-something nits manually - the automatic setting doesn't offer a boost on top of that, but it's not really necessary. Less exciting is the black level, which is one of the highest we've measured recently, and that inevitably results in less than stellar contrast.

Sunlight legibility is quite good on the Nokia 5 too, marginally better than the Nokia 6 and among the better LCDs in this respect.
Additionally, color accuracy is pretty decent - with an average DeltaE of 4.7, the Nokia 5's display is a little bit more accurate than the Nokia 6's (average DeltaE of 5.3) and substantially better than the Nokia 3's (average DeltaE of 9). Still, the Nokia 5's whites are bluish, there's no escaping that.
