Sometimes you see something that looks completely different but very special. Same happened with Nokia NX 5G. I first read about it in an Indian tech blog and my curiosity just kept on increasing. This phone is not like the regular smartphones. It is completely different. It has nostalgia and a tadka of new technology. It is being discussed everywhere in India. Videos on YouTube, forwards in WhatsApp groups, threads on Reddit and lots of discussions in Facebook groups. Let’s understand why this Nokia NX 5G is becoming so viral.
A dream for button lovers, that too at the speed of 5G
The first thing that caught the attention was its sliding QWERTY keypad. Yes, real physical buttons. On top of that, a touchscreen and the speed of 5G. Old memories were refreshed. But this is not just nostalgia, but a practical design. Imagine the real click-click feel while typing WhatsApp or email… it will be fun.
People’s reactions are also showing the same. Some said that it is the return of Nokia with 8GB RAM and 50MP camera. Some are saying that now they will be able to write long messages again with the physical keyboard, without their fingers getting tired. In a country like India, where people type in different languages, this keypad can bring a big change.
We all know that the real fun of texting comes from pressing a button.

The specs are strong, but not for show
The special thing about Nokia NX 5G is that it is not just a game of big numbers, but there is a purpose behind every spec. It has a 50MP camera, 8GB RAM and a big 8000 mAh battery. That means speed, storage and stamina all together.
The battery is a huge plus point. Most phones with 5G discharge quickly, but the battery of Nokia NX 5G is said to last up to two days. This is no less than a boon for students, content creators and professionals.
Talking about the camera, it is heard that it is not just a show of megapixels. Colour, low-light and detailing are also good. Absolutely balanced. Nokia is probably focusing on quality again and not just in the race of numbers.
Such a price that is forcing everyone to think
The biggest uproar is about its price. It is estimated that the price of Nokia NX 5G in India can be around Rs 16999 to Rs 18499. Now imagine, a phone with a sliding keypad, great camera, 5G and a mid-range price… this deal will make anyone think.
In today’s time, where even ordinary phones are available for 30-40 thousand rupees, if Nokia is offering so much in this price range, then it can be a game changer. This phone can become a big attraction for youth, students and those who want something new and durable.

Why can only India become its biggest ground
In India, phones are not just a status symbol. People here want versatility from their phones. Typing in different languages, long battery life, robust body and cheap data – these are the real requirements. And Nokia NX 5G ticks all the boxes.
5G is spreading rapidly in India and people want phones that can take full advantage of this speed. Nokia is already investing in network infrastructure in India. In such a situation, if its phone is equipped with 5G, then the trust becomes even stronger.
It has also been heard that Nokia is planning to change its manufacturing partner so that it can make more affordable and durable phones. This means that it wants to keep people’s preferences in mind again. And this is what makes Nokia NX 5G special.
Experts’ opinion: A new return of old love
I spoke to a tech expert friend and what he said touched my heart. He said, “Nokia NX 5G brings together everything that today’s youth needs – a balance between style, performance and price.”
That is, this phone is not just hardware, it is an emotion. Someone very rightly said, “The click of this phone keyboard feels like returning to the street of your childhood.”
Even in the pre-reviews that were seen on YouTube, people’s eyes had the same sparkle that used to come when they saw the old Nokia phones. People were happily showing off the phone as if they had found a treasure.
