HMD Crest 5G | Segment First 50 MP Selfie Camera | 50 MP Dual Rear AI Camera | FHD+ OLED Display | 6 GB RAM & 128 GB Storage | Android 14 | 33W Fast Charger in Box | Midnight Blue

HMD Crest is a very nice device with good configuration and reasonable price. Speed is good. Look is fantastic. Easy to configure and my old device could be easily copied to it. I loved the mobile phone.

The HMD Crest is a a great smartphone. It has a powerful processor and a very nice user interface that is close to the Google Pixel's.Here's the catch: There are bloatware apps that get installed if you don't pay close attention to the phone setup prompts. You only get one major Android upgrade which is a bummer.My unit had a defective display (green tint) and that's why I had to return an otherwise perfect phone.I suggest that you wait for price drops before getting this phone. I got it for around ₹12t.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5The smartphone offers a very appealing design with a high-quality plastic body and solid build. The FHD OLED display is vivid and responsive, making it a highlight of the device. Performance is strong, with a capable processor and ample RAM and storage, handling tasks and multitasking smoothly.The 50 MP front and back cameras are decent but could be improved with future updates. Battery life is adequate with a 5000 mAh battery that lasts about 1.5 days under typical use, though optimization could be better. The charging speed is good, and the software, running Android 14, is clean and user-friendly.Connectivity is robust with 5G support, reliable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and the inclusion of USB-C and a headphone jack. The audio quality is clear and loud from the speakers, and the headphone output is satisfactory. The phone also features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and face recognition for added security. However, the call recording option could be enhanced.Priced between 12K to 15K, the phone provides excellent value for its features and performance. Its strengths include the display, build quality, and overall performance, while the camera quality and battery life could see improvements.Overall, this smartphone is recommended for those seeking a well-rounded device with a great display and solid performance, ideal for everyday use and multimedia.

Actually I want to have a mobile in the name of HMD (Previously Nokia) always. I bought the same. Everything is there as I expected. I am fully satisfied with the mobile. Here is my review.Charging : Fast charging is good with 33V adapter. But it is not fast charging with the same Moto 33V adapter.Performance : peeformance was so good. No struck at any time. 6 GB RAM is so enough. If need we may extend.Camera : Clarity is good. It is taking the picture as per the live photo. There is nothing to do extra like over brightness, lipstic in lips, etc.Ease of use : Overall good mobile in this price. Nice to handle the mobile.Complaint : 1. Some times backlight display is on for long time. It is draining the battey. We unable to find the reason. 2. When the call is connected, we keep the phone near the ear, that time also backlight is on for sometimes. 3. When we put in the shirt pocket at the time of calling, backlight is on, so sometimes red button is pressed by the body. So the call is disconnected. 4. It may be the some reasons. But I couldn't find.Overall it is a best and first one in the name of HMD.

This is a good phone for me. I use it primarily to communicate through text and calls to family, friends and work. Pay for stuff with UPI, and listen to music. Secondarily, I use a smartphone to capture a few snapshot here and there. That is basically it. I rarely consume media on my phone.I need my devices and any software involved to stay out of the way between me and my interests. It must be a seamless experience where neither I notice the tech nor do I have to deal with it too much.I want to support my country and I would want to buy made-in-India stuff with good enough design.Nokia smartphones fulfilled my needs. HMD has also delivered something that I am liking very much as well.I got the HMD Crest 5G version. It is near-stock android. No OS level ads. Build quality is good, I take care of my devices so this should go a long way. Voice quality is good. 5G is blazing fast, got about 600+Mbps record, although it can be more if telecom operators widen and stabilize their 5G coverage. The OLED screen at this segment is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Storage is enough. I don't have to charge my phone everyday. 33W charging is good.Camera could be a lot better if software processing was handled right, camera2API should be enabled so a lot of apps can take advantage of the phone's imaging hardware. Fingerprint unlock is slow.Overall this is a good smartphone for me. I like it.

It's a worst phone I had ever purchased. Within one month of purchase it got hanged. Software not up to date.Heavy weight phone.Better to move other options in the same budget.Realme and others are far better than this HMD.ThanksNo pros only consLooks average.

1. Camera is over saturated. There should be some setting to adjust the color. Totally disappointed.2. Camera has jerk when taking photos and videos3. Even the display is over saturated. Again disappointed.4. When you play a full HD video or higher like 1440p video or 4K in YouTube, your video won't play smoothly, it's supports 720p smoothly.Higher resolution videos comes as slide shows when you play. My old Nokia 5.4 is better than this.Please don't buy if you expect the above. If that part is comprisable for you then go for this.
