Nokia X5 — In-Depth Analysis
The Nokia X5 packs a 2-lens rear camera system headlined by a 13 primary sensor — the samsung-s5k3l2, which is a capable sensor for this price segment. The 1/3.06 sensor size allows for adequate light capture for most shooting conditions.
This is a dual-camera setup without a dedicated telephoto or ultrawide lens. For zoom shots, you'll rely on digital crop from the main sensor — which at 13 will show noticeable quality loss beyond 2x.
Video recording supports 720p. Stabilization modes include No, and slow-motion capture at No enables creative time-warped content.
Computational photography plays a significant role in the Nokia X5's imaging pipeline. Night mode uses No to brighten low-light scenes while controlling noise.
