The first impression is amazement – the second a disappointment. The Nokia 5.3. in the Hand, then the huge Screen on first. With a 6.5 inch diagonal, it can take the model from Finland with the Top Smartphones from Apple and Samsung, at least in the case of the screen Size.
With a resolution of 1600 720 pixels and a pixel of 270 ppi, the Nokia is density, of course, far away from the Display quality of the Top. It enough but thanks to the amount of brightness in the everyday life completely. The slightly thicker edges in the case of still good proportions for the price in the purchase.
One disappointment is the back. “Composite” calls it Nokia, in the vernacular, we would say the Material but simply plastic. And the back of the 5.3 is just cheap. And replacing the battery you can’t remove you, by the way. The only advantage that plastic is more durable than glass.
Surprisingly, this is also the area where you have to make the biggest compromises. Everything else seems much higher quality than the price tag of 200 Swiss francs can be expected.
main camera of the Nokia 5.3 top Macro Shots is a Flop
is amazing the camera system. Nokia installed, that is, a Four-camera to the entry-level device. Something that does not work normally. But The 13-Megapixel main camera shoots very decent images. Also Software tools, such as night or portrait mode, deliver surprisingly good images.
the results of The wide-angle lens are acceptable if the light is good. However, there are clear differences in colour to the main camera. At night and in bad light should be avoided, however, at wide-angle.
Similar to the looks with the 8 Megapixel Selfiecam. Also here: In good light pretty good photos, in difficult conditions, the shots will deteriorate significantly. Unusable, the macro mode because of the pale colors and totally random focusing.
But: For 199 Swiss francs, we have seen it hardly ever is such a good camera. Bravo Nokia! The next Time, maybe even a Feature less and the other a little better. A bit irritating sometimes that the photos on the phone look like the screen is worse than on the PC or on Social Media.
we were Very satisfied in the Test with the battery performance. The 4000 mAh large battery must provide a large Screen but not a huge resolution and the processor and the System are economical. So it comes easily as a lot of users through the day. Typical buyers of entry-level Phones are likely to have even one and a half to two days of battery life.
a Lot of Features for less than 200 Swiss francs
The Snapdragon 665 processor with 4 GB of memory brings a decent performance in everyday life. The Apps do not stutter, the pure Android 10 System runs smoothly, including the new gesture control. As always with Nokia, it also has the guarantee of quick Updates and security Patches for several years.
will not be saved otherwise in the equipment. Very gratifying of the USB-C connector that is missing in many Phones in this price range. The 64 GB of storage are also neatly, in addition, they can be expanded and it also has space for two SIM-cards.
A headphone socket Nokia has also mounted. For this it is necessary to refuse a certificate for water resistance. On the back, Nokia has installed a fingerprint Scanner. He is so ragged in the Unlock of the phone. After all, quickly enough, that it is not annoying in everyday life.
not Anyone looking to spend for a Smartphone for less than 200 francs, about Nokia 5.3. A great device that can keep up with the camera, and also with the twice as expensive models. The price-to-performance ratio is excellent. Only those who don’t want to screen such a large and, accordingly, a large device is not going to be satisfied.
