Nokia 5.3 'Charcoal Black' unboxing and review.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGR-b4FaIuk

The Nokia 5.3 is the successor of the Nokia 5.1 Plus or X5 from 2 years ago and while it may have been delayed, it's still only an incremental upgrade over the Nokia 5.1 Plus, one that is no longer compact, has a better camera with support for GCAM, bigger battery and will get at least, the Android 12 in 2022 or 2023 (whatever the case may be).

Also users haven't reported charging port issues on the Nokia 5.3 like they did on its predecessor, which is a good sign. HMD Global has been consistently releasing smartphones on Android One Program and has perfected a lot of things. The video should help you decide if the Nokia 5.3 is the right budget phone for you buy or not.

I compared photos shot on the Nokia 5.3 default camera with GCAM and GCAM vs iPhone 11 Pro, see screenshots from video below.

Price - N79,000 (6GB/64GB)

icankel:
is it a dual sim?

MartinsD12:

Have they fixed the charging port issue this thing dey fear man

ALEX182:
Nah. This ain't it.
720 X 1600 display . Not even 1080p Snapdragon 665 64GB storage
Look at the chin if that phone
Nokia isn't even trying. How far the great has fallen.

donkossy:
wait till yiu see mine

naturefellow:
no problems at all. I've sampled the 8.1 for over a year now. No problems till now too.

uk10:
abeg who still has the nokia x5 here and it lasted for 1 year without charging port problems

naturefellow:
I

MartinsD12:

I must say nokia 5.3 got my respect, online reviews seems to be impressive with this phone, now i understand why it's expensive, nokia didn't over hype this device, it is exactly what they say it is, snapdragon 665 plus Android one its a perfect combo, I wish nokia will stick to snapdragon alone

uk10:
thank God,hope mine will be free from problems,dont have money for nokia 5.3 now

iPhone 11 Pro camera vs Nokia 5.3 + GCAM

Seunpaul01:

Omo, u just rendered iphone 11 pro worthless with this pics. Why go for a 3OOK plus when you can have a 79k phone with better quality.

naturefellow:
nicely observed! Did you also notice that they don't use ambassadors or influencers to market their products?
Products speak for themselves.

edoairways:

Is iPhone 11 picture quality that bad when compared to this?

OLAMINREWA:
Rubbish.. I'm still regretting Nokia 2.3 that I bought last week. It hangs like umbrella in the rain

Poloyanabo2:

Lol, and 268ppi

the display will be like tecno.

DEWKID:
very okay. like do you know me?

ONYEBUCHI93:
Nice one for the Nokia 5.3.

Pls, which is better between Redmi note 9/Note 8 and Nokia 5.3?

Between these two companies, which produces stronger phones with good camera and battery? Especially their phones that are in the same price range.

I would prefer someone who have used both devices.
Thanks for your good response

EVILFOREST:
Still waiting for NOKIA 9.3 PUREVIEW.

cbrezy:

joycegurl:
if only wishes were horses men would ride

AkwaIbomMan:
them take stupidity swear for you? Sorry Lord Sky, Actually i meant my father, papa akwaibomman

Flytime:
actually I think Nokia optimized the 2.2 better especially after the Android 10 update although the 2.2 and 2.3 uses the same chip
I know a guy using the 2.3 and he has complained of lagging after the Android 10 update infact I experienced it when using his phone
I'm guessing Nokia will release a maintainance update like they did to some of their devices

Mustiboy:


His beards is okay. I really don't know why you guys can't mind your effing business.



And I think the reason he takes pictures close to his beards is to reveal the clarity of the camera. As you can see in the pictures above, the stock camera didn't capture much details of his beards, but Gcam did.


From what I can deduce, the indoor performance of the Nokia 5.3's camera—with Gcam support—is better than that of the iPhone 11 Pro. Expensive doesn't always mean better.

ceaser:


I have a 2.3.Apparently this HMD Global thingy is just producing mediocre products and riding on the glorious history of Nokia to sell their products.

Flytime:


Nokia probably realized there mistake by trying to go full on Snapdragon
Try to give Nokia another try just make sure it's a Snapdragon variant
