Nokia 5.3 Review

Nokia 5.3 Review 

The Nokia 5.3 is guaranteed to have two important Android variant updates and three Decades of security upgrades 

HMD Global's Nokia 5.3 is one of the hardly any new phones which are a part of this Android One programme.  It begins at Rs. 13,999 at India and runs inventory Android.  

That is not all, it includes a guarantee of 2 decades of Android version upgrades and three decades of security upgrades, which smartphones at the budget section do not usually get.  

Is the inventory Android encounter the one thing available with the Nokia 5.3?  I examine it to learn.

Budget smartphones need to cut corners, and also the very first place that occurs is normally the construction and materials quality.  Smartphones at the price point are often made from plastic, and also the Nokia 5.3$13,999 is no exception .  

But, it doesn't feel cheap at all.  It seems like the Nokia 5.3 ought to be in a position to bring a couple of tears and keep going.

There's Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to the screen that ought to help prevent it from becoming scratched.  I enjoy the enormous 6.55-inch screen on the Nokia 5.3, also understanding that it's some type of security is reassuring.  

It is crisp enough using its HD+ resolution although this is not the maximum resolution you are going to get at the price point.  

HMD Global has really gone to get a 20:9 panel that's fantastic for watching videos in landscape mode, but reaching the very top of it if using this mobile in 1 hand is not simple.  

HMD Global has packaged a 4,000mAh battery at the Nokia 5.3 and was able to restrict the device's depth to 8.5mm.   

In the back, it's a quad-camera set up in a ring-shaped module.  This stands outside, since the contest either utilizes pill-shaped or squarish camera modules.

 You are able to disable it, however there's not any official choice to remap it to another purpose.  There are programs on the Play Store which should allow you to remap it should you desire.  

Additionally, I discovered the telling light from the power button for a fantastic bit.  It pulses when you've pending notifications.

From the box, you receive a set of earphones, which is not bundled with most funding telephones nowadays.   

I would advise that you utilize the situation because the Charcoal color unit I had picked up smudges very easily.  Nokia also has two other color choices, Cyan and Sand.

Nokia 5.3 specs and applications: Android One

If you take a look at the specifications there's not anything out of the normal that will grab your attention.  HMD Global has chosen the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC to electricity that the Nokia 5.3.  

This is an established chip and continues to be powering different mobiles like the Redmi Note 813,999 (Overview ).  There are two variations of this Nokia 5.3 available.    I'd the 4GB RAM version with this review.

Concerning applications, you get inventory Android 10.  The Android One programme implies the Nokia 5.3 doesn't have some preinstalled bloatware and the UI is quite similar to what you will discover on Google Pixel tablets.  

I enjoy the blank stock encounter but should you would rather extra attributes then this phone may not impress you straight away.   

Once I unboxed the smartphone was operating the May Android security limitation, but it obtained three upgrades, bringing it into the existing August Security patch.  

This is a great indication and should HMD Global asserts this strategy then it is possible to anticipate that the Nokia 5.3 to be current with security patches for 3 decades.

 You can swipe the back fingerprint scanner to pull on the telling down shade, and also double-press the power button to start the camera program.  In general, if you would rather inventory Android, you may prefer the Nokia 5.3.

Nokia 5.3 functionality: Decent performer

After utilizing the Nokia 5.3 for a couple of days I will say that it manages regular day-to-day usage easily.  Callingmessaging, and social networking apps aren't a problem, and you are able to multitask between them very readily.  

I didn't notice any slowdowns when utilizing the smartphone.  The tall screen includes adequate viewing angles plus it will get bright enough outside.  I discovered the speaker to be somewhat loudly also.

I conducted our collection of benchmarks to determine in which the Nokia 5.3 stands in comparison to a few of the other mobiles in the price point.  In AnTuTu, the Nokia 5.3 was able to evaluate 167,750 points.  

Additionally, it obtained 312 and also 1,399 points in Geekbench's single-core and multi-core evaluations.  In terms of images benchmark GFXBench, the telephone was able 50fps and 13fps from the T-Rex and Automobile Chase tests .

I played with PUBG Mobile on the Nokia 5.3, and it succeeds to"Smooth" images and"moderate" frame speed.  I really could bump the images setting around"Balanced" however, the HD alternative was not offered.  

Playing in the higher setting I watched occasional stutter however, the game worked well in the lower settings.  If you perform for longer durations, the rear of the telephone does get hot to the touchscreen. 

The 4,000mAh battery capacity of this Nokia 5.3 is a little lower than typical for the contest.  You'll find a full day of battery life from it but it is going to have to be plugged within the following moment.  

Within our HD video loop evaluation, the smartphone was able 11 hours and 50 minutes that's adequate given the battery dimensions.  

 It obtained the telephone to 30 per cent in 30 minutes and 56 per cent in one hour.  Charging the telephone totally took close to 2 hours.  I'd have enjoyed faster charging.

The Nokia 5.3 includes a quad-camera setup similar to most other smartphones in this price on the marketplace.   

The camera program is quite straightforward and user friendly.  It's scene detection that's fast to ascertain what the camera is geared towards.

In daylight, photographs lacked dynamic selection and nice grain has been visible in the output on zooming in.  Shots taken with the front-facing camera were of a lesser resolution, and these also were grainy.

The Nokia 5.3 handled close-up shots improved, with great information and a gentle thickness effect for the backdrop.   

I discovered that the camera to be rigorously ordinary, and also a subject should be lit for shots to come out looking adequate.

There was grain at the output here too, which was observable on zooming in.  A couple of photos additionally lacked sharpness.  Changing on Night mode enhanced sharpness and brightness, but photographs were grainy.

Selfies shot together with the Nokia 5.3 were adequate in daytime and it will give you the choice to take portraits.  In low light, there's a small dip in quality but it's somewhat okay.

Footage shot using the Nokia 5.3 is not stabilised at resolution, and ends up being rickety.  

The camera functionality of this Nokia 5.3 is not very good overall, and you're able to get superior outcomes from some other mobiles at the price level.

Verdict

INR 15,000 price section, together with the main attraction being inventory Android and the guarantee of software upgrades.  

This apparatus should remain up thus far more than the competition, so it is going to fulfill the requirements of individuals who do not want to modify their phone frequently.  

But, it is not the most powerful performer at this time, and will drop farther behind as some other businesses launch newer versions.

Camera functionality is not the greatest, and some software tweaks may enhance that.  

If you're a heavy user or are wanting to play with a good deal of games, then you may want to consider stronger and similarly priced options like the Realme 6i  and the Redmi NOTE 9 PRO.
