Design
The Nokia 5.3 is powered by the Qualcomm 665 System-on-Chip and 3, 4 or 6 GB of RAM. It has 64 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded with a MicroSD card.[4] Depending on the variant, there is space for either a single NanoSIM or a Nano-SIM and another SIM in standby.[5]
The phone weighs 185 g and is 8.5 mm thick. It has a dewdrop notch and bezels with a chin at the bottom with the Nokia logo. The Nokia 5.3, like the second series of Nokia Android phones, has a dedicated Google Assistant button on the left of the phone which can be pressed to quickly activate the Google Assistant or held and released for the Google Assistant to start and stop listening. The phone is sold in 3 colours — Cyan, Sand and Charcoal.[6]
Reception
The Nokia 5.3 mostly received positive reviews. Radoslav Minkov of PhoneArena praised the device’s "smooth performance, impressive screen brightness and contrast, good portrait mode photos and solid battery life" while criticising the "low display resolution, unreliable fingerprint sensor and tinny speaker".[7]
Damien Wilde of 9to5Google also praised the device for its "decent camera, reasonably good performance, and a build that is impressive at this price point", saying "It’s [a] sensibly priced smartphone that gives you a heck of a lot for your low entry price".[8]
