Summary
- The Nokia 5 features a more premium build with an aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass front, while the Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt has a plastic back and frame, making it slightly lighter but less robust.
- In terms of display, the J7 Nxt offers a larger 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen compared to the 5.2-inch IPS LCD of the Nokia 5, although both have the same resolution.
- Performance-wise, the J7 Nxt's Exynos 7870 chipset provides a slightly faster CPU at 1.6 GHz versus the 1.4 GHz Snapdragon 430 in the Nokia 5.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video, but the J7 Nxt has a wider aperture at f/1.9, potentially improving low-light performance.
- Battery capacity is identical at 3000 mAh, with neither supporting fast or wireless charging.
- Both devices run Android Nougat, upgradable to Android Pie, but the J7 Nxt features Samsung's One UI for a different software experience.
