Nokia 5.3 Android One Smartphone with Quad Camera, 6 GB RAM and 64 GB Storage - Cyan

I got the phone withing 3 days. All safe and sound. Good packaging.Contents-Phone,10W charger,basic nokia headset,transparent backcoverMy first impression - the moment I took the phone out of the plastic case I was literally like 'WOW'.All my doubts went puff.Design-10/10Build quality- Do I even have to say it? 11/10I got a lot of questions from people around me like why did you go for nokia. You could have bought anything else. HONESTLY, I had to convince myself to go for this (With a tiny bit of effort from my bf).I had considered buying samsung's M21s M31s Or M51. Sure it had much better specs on paper But I was not so sure about its build quality. Now, I'm pretty sure my phone could stand wear and tear of my regular rough use much more than any other competition in the market with no compromise on the looks.Now let me tell you, I'll be getting 2 years of assured Android upgrade. Means I'll never be outdated in the OS section.It took 8 hours of movies songs and browsing to bring the battery from 100-0With normal usage it lasted 12-13 hours easily.Fingerprint scanner I found a bit glitchy.Face recognition is actually good. (3-4s delay)The powerbutton notification light is glamorous 😁Camera-8/10 I'm no wildlife photographer. I found its okay for regular use. Means if you are not into all the techie reviews you get on phone camera these days, its a decent camera.I found no lag switching btw apps. I opened multiple apps simultaneously had no issues whatsoever.Haven't tried gaming(not my purpose)Sound quality is good. Display is good.One more thing No Bloatwares.. I was so stocked for stock Android considering my prev phone was redmi. 😜To sum up I don't get all the negative review that this phone gets. I'm so in love with this phone.No regrets whatsoever.

If u r to compare it with MIs, oppos, vivos... Then Nokia looses without even competing, if u r to come out of those artificially built colorful world n start looking at a product for the reason its built n its usage then Nokia stands out..Pros - this mobile has a solid build quality, great software, doesn't hang, is smooth, call clarity is great, mobile charges quickly, u get photos without any filters (u get exactly how the image u r seeing with ur naked eyes, if u r beautiful u look beautiful n if u r ugly u look ugly in the pics), it comes with some local made in china headphone, navigating between the apps is easy, games run smoothly, no issues with internet n wifi connections, nice sound... Yes, u would get what a basic phone should usually get n in fact with a better quality. Previously I used samsung, I personally feel tat this phone is far better than samsung in terms of handling n performance.Coming to cons, it doesn't have all bells n whistles tat u get in Chinese phones, as I said camera is below par, finger print sensor doesn't work at all...If u want a solid, no nonsense, performance oriented mobile then go for it, but if u r looking for some trendy in the market kind of then this phone will definitely make u sad..Choice is ursMost importantly it's a Non Chinese brand!!!!!

An elegant phone. For people who don't mind spending a few extra bucks on time-tested, solid brands. Nokia might not have been on the popularity charts for quite some time, but I decided to go for this phone after reading the reviews, and because I'd been using the Xperia R1 Plus for the past two years and needed a change. I am delighted to have chosen the Nokia 5.3, to last me for the next 3 years at least! The display, camera and battery backup are all decent. The 6 GB of RAM helps the phone run super-smooth. What I found most impressive is that the swipe gesture from the bottom of the screen conveniently exits you from any app and takes you to the home screen, or displays your apps running in the background depending on your swipe motion. Also, swiping inwards from anywhere on the side edges takes you to the previous page, which in most phones can be done only using the back button at the bottom of the screen. Dark theme can be selected easily in the display settings and it makes the phone so much more easier to use for weary eyes.The Nokia 5.3's build quality and design is awesome and reminds you of back in the day when Nokia phones used to be everything. I didn't mind paying 3-4K extra for the same specifications that other second-rate phones available in the market in the range of 11K provide, because I know that the sturdiness and delight of using the Nokia will, in the long run, factor out any premium I've paid for acquiring the device. I would highly recommend the Nokia 5.3 to users who rely on their phones for 9-10 hours of work in a day, 2-3 hours of leisure and the rest to battery-power conservation!

My Previous Review was rejected. So, I am writing again straightforward :-PROS -1) Android One - This is the reason I bought this phone. It has lot of cons which I knew but still I bought it. Its cleaner and faster and in 15k budget, I will say its great.2) Build Quality - As expected from Nokia, It has good build quality and doesn't look cheap at all.CONS -1) Display - Just ok. I can see big pixels easily. Just tilt phone a bit and you will see.2) Fingerprint - Slow and not accurate. It fails 3 times out of 10 at least for me. But its ok for the price. When we spent 15k on a budget device, we deserve this.3) Touch - May be with me. But I find touch not that responsive. Many times I have to swipe again to see notifications or app drawer. It was never the case with old phone4) Camera - Its good at day and horrible at night/low light but for 15k, I think its ok. That's my first low budget phoneEdit: 7th OctoberAfter using it for almost 3 weeks now.Fingerprint again: It fail 5 times out of 10 for me. I was using xperia XA1 plus before. There It hardly failed. May be 1 time out of 10. But In this nokia, situation is so bad that I am thinking to turn it off. I have removed fingerprint from whatsapp already.Connectivity: Many times wifi doesn't work. Other phones working fine. If I am using wifi while in call and then close it to switch to 4g, sometime it doesn't work. Jio and Airtel don't have connection speed in this phone. It was not an issue with Xperia XA1 plus. Sony phones are known to have bad connectivity but this Nokia did really poor. May be something wrong with phone? I will review for some more days and then make it 1 star if same issue persist.Edit (23/05/2021) :Well, it's been 9 months since I am using this phone. Nowadays I get touch issues or ghost touch I must say. It's almost an unusable phone. Can't type properly. If I touch one keypad, the other gets click too. I googled about it, it is common in Nokia phones, just google "Ghost Touch" issues. Most probably because of the low-quality screen they used. Even on expensive Nokia phones. With the latest security updates, the right side of my phone stops working and only works after I do a screen off and on. I had to reformat the phone but still the same exact issue on the first boot after cleanup. I am hugely disappointed with Nokia. I have been a fan before, not anymore. I have Samsung left now which I will purchase in 2-3 days (when lockdown finishes)

Phone is good.. overall but not a value for money.Battery life.Just a normal battery.. used just 2 days and it barely made 1 day.CameraIt is fine.. not the best.. but good for day to day life.ProcessorOkay processor.. not ideal for high graphic gamesNot many features.. just have basic features.It should have been a 13000 phone for 6 gb varient.Only best thing is the uodates android one.. and a non Chinese phone.And the seal of the phone was broken.

Writing this review after one week of use of 6 GB RAM version:My motivation to buy this phone was1) Buy a "Non-Chinese" phoneFor obvious reason : if not me, who? if not now, when?2) Bloatware free android experienceNokia, Motorola and Asus (up to a level of my satisfaction) were the options. However Moto unfortunately haveturned chinese and Asus is out of touch currently3) Atleast 4000 mah batteryAnd I find Nokia 5.3 was a right choice.For me battery lasts for 2 days after full charging (watched one 2 hrs movie during charging cycle). It takes around 1.5 to 2 hour charging. It is okay with me. Infact I find it takes same charging time as my Samsung A51 (with 5000 mah battery) takes with fast charging.Watching movie was a good experience over a wide screen. Camera is good (I am not a selfi or camera fan).Only disappointment was the headphones quality. Sound quality is good, but looks cheap. (Unfortunately headphone and charger are China made. One star less for that).People are complaining about the price, but paying 2-3k more for a "non-chinese" brand is okay for me.

Good product in offered range. It looks classy and works fluently. Camera is worst. I mainly purchased this handset because it's camera interests me a lot after watching it's feedbacks and relevant review videos. All are fake videos in terms of camera. Video quality is also very poor. Call voice are good. Battery lifetime is okay. Phone colour is so nice. Size and overall look is great.

After use of 7 days of my nokia 5.3 6gb version (Purchased price 15500)pros1.good built quality2.pure android experience3.guaranted monthly updates4. screen size5.Reliability of nokia6.Decent camera for this price7. Satisfactory battery life8, Call quality is excellentCons1.HD+ display- But in day to day use you will rarely notice that it is HD+ and not Full HD+2.No fast charging- Although battery life is decent but Fast charging should be there3. Camera should improve little bitIt is a very good phone for those people who are concerned for security as you will be receiving security updates regularly, and no extra bloatware like some made in china phones, little pricy though, However there is a discount of one thousand during festive offers. Go for it if your requirements are security, reliability and pure android experience. Not for heavy gamer nor for photography enthusiasts.
