I guess it's because theirs are OLED screens, and also curved bezel-less edges.

Exactly, and they don't have second value too.

For those of you complaining about the oled screen,some 2020 Samsung phones use tft screen, its Samsung's lcd screen and cheaper.

Cool..

What a promising device from Nokia

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

Big bro, abeg go for Redmi Note 8 and thank me later.
I have the 4Gb/64Gb variant, and it is expandable with the aid of a SD card of up to 512Gb. I got mine at about 62k, all minor expenses included from Jumia three months ago. Others sell it for almost 70k now, no thanks to the weak naira and Covid-19 lockdown aftereffects.
The Redmi Note 8 has Gorilla Glass 5 at the front and back, unlike the Redmi Note 9 that has it only at the front.
Not forgetting that it gives you more value for your money than the Nokia 5.3

Welcome back Nokia

I've been thinking about this phone since the day this post was made. I love Nokia

Thanks man. I'm really concluding on going for the Redmi note 8 instead of Nokia 5.3

Why don;t you go for the Redmi 9 which has recently launched at a price of N66,000 and comes with Mediatek helio G80 processor - solid for gaming and other multitasking action! It has some really good specs, check this review out: https://www.droidafrica.net/redmi-9-unboxing-and-review-great-value-for-money/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Droid_Africa+%28DroidAfrica+-+All+About+Phones+and+Tablets+in+Africa%29

Norman4real:
blame yourself for not knowing what you were buying. So you expected a wonderful performance from a 2GB ram phone that has a mediatek A22 processor. Lol. That Nokia 2.3 is basically a Tecno spark 4 Air in a nokia branding. You can get much better performance from a helio P22 processor phone

Are you saying p22 is a good processor?

MartinsD12:

Are you saying p22 is a good processor?

It's good for basic usage, social media browsing internet. But it's not suitable for gaming. All in all its much better than an A22.

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)

pls is this phone normally hot when been charged?

Pious101:

No. Standard charging does not cause as much heat as fast charging, on average and this phone does not support the latter.

To add to that, Redmi Note 8 has a Full HD(1080P) screen as opposed to 720P on Nokia 5.3.
