Reception
The Nokia 5070 has mixed reviews.
CNET gave the device a 6.5/10, describing it as a "cheap and chunky handset" and praising its color scheme.
Trusted Reviews gave the phone a three-star review and noted the size of the keypad. The camera was criticized for its low resolution and low frame rate on videos. The phone's display was also poorly received due to its 65-thousand color count and the slow responsiveness in menus. CNET praised the call quality and cell reception of the handset. The inclusion of an FM radio is described as a "welcome up-market feature".
