The only reviewer who dares to call things the way they should be: Condom case instead of protective case and nipple notch instead of water drop notch. 😁
I've had my 5.3 for nearly a month now. I think it's an excellent phone. The down side for me is Google assistant and the size, just a tad to big for my liking. For £150 I got a decent phone. I personally never have a use for Siri, Cortana or any assistant just annoying. Takes great pictures. Anyway good review here and thank you 👍
@@bharathcr7751 It's hard to say. I use headphones mostly. Average quality ones as well. I watch a lot of things on UA-cam so never really tested the loudspeaker. I'd say phone call quality is good but nothing outstanding. I still enjoy the phone a lot.👍
I just hope if there's gonna be a Nokia 7.3, hope it's actually a worthy Successor to the Nokia 7 Plus. And I hope Nokia gets rid of their branding on the front so that they could reduce the bezels.
@@AllenLijo i wish the same but there are two facts 1. hmd put logos and chins on phone on purpose 2. Nokia 7 plus is now actually the Nokia 8 series (after Nokia 8.1) so Nokia 8.3 is already a successor of 7 plus
It is a sensible phone for middle-aged people like me who are not chasing shiny new things ten times more expensive... It feels more expensive with no creaky plastic that flexes it fees very solid, the only complaint I have is the lack of image stabilisation when recording video I'd had gladly given up 4K recording to have that option.
"Go big, and go for longer", you speaking from experience Chris 😂. Thinking some of the manufacturers of such items would love to sponsor your channel 😁.
Does it have the bothie feature in camera and how is the low-light and night photography result? Pls include these points in you next video on this phone.
Hi, good as always. Headfone is probably HMD got from previous Nokia as free shop side remains. Good for feature phone. Nokia is our first love hence small things like headfone is ok. Their handset quality is excellent. I am still using my Nokia 6. Now it has started showing signs of wear...
These Nokia phones are brilliant value for money .I've been using a 7 plus Nokia for almost two years.Ive missed nothing and have really enjoyed this phone .I will 100% get another Nokia when iam ready.
Stein's Gate characters on the the phone's homescreen wallpaper lol. Okabe Rintaro a.k.a. Houin Kyouma and Makise Kurisu a.k.a. Christina? Really loved that anime. Btw nice review as always
I'm using a 5.3 myself atm, it's very solid for what it costs. The only negative thing about it is the speaker. On the low end there's a static muffled/old time radio background noise, and the high end has no range at all.
@@Deathlock61 the touch sensor on the back hardly works now. Though that could be more user side error, I'm renovating my house so hands have gotten bit rougher. Sound is still below average. The rest of the phone is still pretty decent though, if it's on sale or you're planning to just use it to wait for next gen release and price drop go for it. I will add though that I've primarily used smaller phones, so this one being so much bigger, I still don't like it. I figured I'd try it out, but definitely going back to less than 6" phones.
I have the 5.1 and big issue for me was you could not set the SD card as the default memory. Read the forums and this was a gripe for all Nokia users. 64 GB is on 5.3 helps, but please test this feature in your full review to see if Nokia has addressed the issue. I should say Nokia where in denial about this problem.
I won't lie since watching your vids I do much prefer the current budget devices on offer compared to flagships. Take this one for example, for £150 it's such a fantastic package! I want this for it's price now more than any high end out there!
An excellent device for the asking price. The features, design and specs it offers are more than satisfactory especially when considering what other handset makers charge for their devices. For the average consumer, with pretty regular usage habits, this device will be more than fine. I mean honestly, unless you are a tech expert or were to look really closely at this device you couldn’t tell the Nokia 5.3 apart from all those fancy flagships. It is a great alternative for those who cannot afford devices with exorbitant prices without marking the device as such. It is weird but quite common to be very self-conscious about the things we buy and own, as many times I guess they somehow speak to our social standing...anywho....at least in the case of the Nokia 5.3 you don’t have to worry about that, if it makes any difference...
I was thinking about buying this one but they just kept dragging their feet getting i it out into the shops so bought the 6.2 instead, maybe I should have had more patience. Great review again Chris.
Finally.. someone telling the real fact !! Never really care about camera actually , but ok.. 2 cameras (1 front and 1 back) is enough for me . My first priority are Reliability and a Good battery life . And 6" is enough , I don't need a bigger screen.
Just bought it a few days back. Previous phone was the moto x style which was more expensive. Here you get a Good 6.5 inch gorilla glass display and nokia claims it has reduced the blue light emission from it which is good for your eyes. Also I use the dark mode of display which makes it easier on my eyes. Speakers are good enough but the moto x was a touch bit better. Still no complaints. Camera I feel is decent for a phone at this price. Android one is one of the great features of this one, so you will get updates for some time. The UI feels better than moto for some reason. Another thing I found is that there are NO annoying ADs with this phone. Videos play with out any delay and that is good. So if you are a standard phone user like me on a budget, and not a gamer chances are you will LIKE it.
Still not as good a deal as a Redmi Note if the spec sheet is anything to go by! For £30 more you get a 1080p screen, a better processor, a bigger battery, more ram etc... The only thing I prefer on the Nokia is closer to stock Android.
It's not closer. It's totally stock Android. I'm using the Nokia 5.1 plus (Nokia X5)~$136 for almost 1 and a half year and believe me I haven't observe a single lag or frame drop any day. It has just 3Gigs of ram and i compared it with my Mom's Redmi Note 7s( SD 660)~$165, Nokia has far better Ram management than Redmi and performance wise it's equivalent.
wondering, if this phone still has loose usb c, as i saw alot nokia users complained that they have loose usb c, even on my own nokia 7 plus🙁 hope that they could solve that issue in all upcoming phones with usb c.
Just use any other charging cable except nokia cable and it will be fine. I'm doing the same with my 8.1 it's been 1.5 years and i haven't got any problem.
Tech Spurt, a quick question. Best budget mobile to do on the move edits fron dslr in raw files with lightroom or similar app. By the way thank you for your reviews always clear and to the point... S
Pretty good stuff for the price. Only downside is the screen with the 720p resolution and with huge 6.5" size which makes the pixel density kinda terrible.
I have recently purchased one of these phones and two things bother me, first of all when you switch the phone on, you get blinded by the white screen if you don't remember to look away, and also there doesn't appear to be a battery warning indicator so when the battery gets down to 1% it doesn't hang around or bleep telling you it needs charged it just switches itself off! how inconvenient is that!
I am impresed,my 6.2 have snp 636,and this one have 665,but full HD display is better on my,never the less this is really good budzet phone,now Nokia needs to focus on that Nokia 9 sucsessor
Big fan from Nigeria. I've got about 180 dollars to spend on a device. I'll need a nice camera most importantly and a good performance. What's your recommendation
9:09 man it is important for the people that love that kind of photography and cannot afford a real camera for taking that pics, 2 mpx its usseles indeed. even 5 like other budgets or mid ranges we need 12 mpx on macro lenses...
Currently I am using Nokia 6.1 plus and in my opinion it's a best budget phone. Very nice glassy look, pretty good camera and other stuffs. Give try to nokia if you got bored from OPPO vivo and Mi handsets.
So as soon as I found out this was an Android one project phone. I picked one of these up or around 170 on Amazon on sale. And the whole reason I did this was to see if I could actually live wth a 200$ smartphone. I don't play games on my phone I use it for basic apps, messaging, a little bit of email and work. After having it for two and a half months I can honestly say you would never know this was a budget phone if it had just a bit better screen and camera. After using this phone I can honestly say you spend $1,000 on a phone you're being straight up robbed but to each their own.
