Nokia 5.3 6.55 Inch Android UK SIM Free Smartphone with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB Storage (Dual Sim) - Charcoal

I've been using Apple for 10 years but got annoyed with storage limitations and battery issues. I decided to migrate to an Android phone, as my husband's been using it for a year now, and he's very happy with it.I compared some options in the market within the same price range and decided to give Nokia a try, as this is the brand of my first mobile back 20 years ago, and although I thought they stopped in time, they seem to have pretty decent smartphones launched recently. By reading the reviews and comparing processor speed, storage capacity, camera features, and battery life, and I thought they deserved a chance.I admit that I'm really impressed with this phone, it's modern, it's very fast, the resolution is excellent, and the screen is way bigger than my previous iPhone 6 which was a great surprise when I opened the box. Plus it gives you the option of inserting an extra mini SD card to increase space without getting tied with a cloud-based subscription forever. I attached a picture comparing the sizes.It demands a bit of time to learn the gestures and settings, but nothing bad. I got pretty used to it in a couple of days. The battery is lasting easy more than 2 full days which is amazing. I didn't test all camera features yet, even though I got really nice shots using portrait mode, and also in low luminosity too as you can see. The macro isn't as crisp as the portrait but I'm not expecting a miracle, as I have a DSLR camera to take macro shots whenever I need high-quality ones, so this is no a big deal particularly for me.The only dislike I'd say is the position of the earphone jack at the upper side, but this is me being picky.All in all, this is a fantastic mobile for the price, it's really worth it. I couldn't have made a better choice! Thanks Nokia, I'm a fan again.

I bought this phone for £123 to replace my old iPhone. And for the price, this really is a pretty good phone. The fingerprint log in is not very reliable and some android apps are not as reliable as the Apple apps (some freeze from time to time) but generally is does everything I want to do with it, make calls, send texts, do my online banking and use some other apps like Google maps, Facebook or Amazon.The camera is good but you need a very steady hand, I get a lot of slightly distorted pics as my hands are not that steady. I deleted some pre-installed apps like YouTube and some Google ones as I don't use them.Be aware when starting the phone when new that you don't just tick 'agree' to the Google start up functions as you will allow Google to pretty much to spy on and track everything you do with the phone. It's worthwhile (and not very complicated) to spend an extra 2 minutes to customise your permissions.I also downloaded DuckDuckGo app which offers private browsing and use it as the default browser rather than using the pre-installed ones.Overall the start up took 2 hours as uploading the newest update took a very long time. I also didn't manage to transfer my contacts and music from my iPhone or iCloud but it's probably easier from android phone to android phone.Overall, I am pleased with the phone and it will do me just fine for as long as the updates come through (for 2 years), I was getting fed up with spending a lot of money on Iphones which are still fully functionable but the updates stop and force you to buy a new phone every 3 years anyway. From now on it's Nokia budget phones for me and I may spend the money I saved on a long weekend away

Positives;+I got this phone on offer for £125, good price for the specs+it is very fast and has ample storage, Android 10 is great. Battery is great.+Camera circular layout of lenses looks stylish. Phone feels pleasant to the touch.+Fingerprint thing works great even if your finger is at an angle, nicer than having to type a pin.Negatives:--Was described as 'sand' colour and in the pics it looks nice and golden. However in reality it seems more like a sort of 'metallic apricot' colour, not quite as nice as the pics, still pretty nice though.-The screen is very tall, whilst nice for viewing web pages I see no other benefits to such an elongated aspect ratio beyond 16:9. Whilst the phone feels fine in the hand, it is cumbersome to fit in pockets be that trouser/coat/bag. However, it seems like the alternative models from Vodafone and Samsung are similarly oversized. It is annoying we are being forced us to have ridiculously large phones as there is no other option now.In summary some major positives and some negatives but not enough to knock a star off as I am very happy overall.
