Nokia 5.1 16 GB Tempered Blue, New, GSM unlocked
Tempered Blue is the Nokia 5.1 in its dark blue aluminum finish, offered new with 16 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM, GSM unlocked. The 16 GB base build keeps the ticket low, and the microSD slot lets a prepaid customer add storage later, which makes it a workable starter phone for MVNO bundles and export orders.
The Nokia 5.1 is HMD Global's 2018 refresh of the aluminum Nokia 5: a taller 5.5-inch Full HD+ IPS panel in an 18:9 ratio, a 2.0 GHz MediaTek Helio P18 octa-core, 16 GB of storage with 2 GB of RAM in this configuration plus a microSD slot, a 16 MP rear camera with phase-detection autofocus, and an 8 MP wide-angle front camera. It launched on Android 8.0 under the Android One program and moved through Android 9 Pie to Android 10. TG Wireless supplies it to prepaid dealers, exporters, and institutional buyers who want a metal-bodied unlocked LTE handset with a clean, updated software build at an entry price.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Nokia 5.1 is a 4G LTE phone, so the 2022 US 3G shutdown and the August 2026 T-Mobile 2G retirement do not take it off the air by themselves. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. VoLTE support and carrier acceptance depend on the exact variant and its software, so confirm with the carrier before committing to volume. The listing states GSM unlocked; it is not a CDMA or Verizon device.
Resale fit
- Prepaid and MVNO counters that need a low-ticket unlocked Android with a clean software build.
- Export lots for Latin America, Africa, and South Asia where unlocked Nokia Android phones sell on brand recognition.
- Marketplace and storefront resale of sealed units at a step below current-generation pricing.
- Corporate and institutional buyers who need plain, unbranded handsets for field staff or loaners.
