Nokia 5.4 (Polar Night, 4GB RAM, 64GB Storage) with No Cost EMI/Additional Exchange Offers

Many of those who have used Nokia phones earlier or know about them are wanting the same quality in today's standards. So what primarily interested me was the snapdragon 662 processor, an excellent choice over low calibre Chinese processors as well as Samsung's good Exynos alternatives, also a good android phone with a clean android (Android One) and Nokia 5.4 suits it perfectly. Pro Good build quality, and stylized polycarbonate shell along with a big battery at 4000Mah. Nokia's camera will make photographic gadget holders happy with 48Mpx (4 bin) . The main camera is decent in speed as a 662 processor takes care of that for a regular photo as well as HDR+ shots. The camera provides quality captures with good highlight control, as can be seen on the left edge of the home stone photo attached. Night mode photography of a dim room came out quite lit, with a bit of understandable noise, normally Okay at this price point. The bokeh shots are good for portraits (didn't upload human photos) as seen in the background of this plant. The speed of game graphics is good, anti-aliasing worked straight away with no speed damage in NFS. With my usability of limited graphics needs from a phone, it is not a major part of the decision. With no interference of useless pre-installed apps, a few do come but are uninstallable. The clean interface of android felt great to use (I am looking at you Samsung). With Android one, we will get updates for a newer version of android for a few more years. Super ergonomic design and build to hold, it felt good old Nokia and probably I won't be putting up a cover over it unless Spigen does us a favour. A great option for a Camera quality video log is great, 60fps on FHD is also good. Last but not least it's a good old Nokia again. Cons I think with an FHD+ resolution this would have worked out great but not a major issue for my needs. More pixels in the macro cam and 2k video would make this excellent phone. UPDATE AFTER A WEEK OF USE ------------- The only irritant is found in this phone is the proximity sensor which allows the screen to unlock/lock-on attending a phone call. It is haywire and causes frequent unlocks, causing drop-down icon bar items to be used unknowingly. Also, this phone comes with a screen guard preinstalled, I won't put that as a con, majorly because I do not like screen guards but will use it until it visibly appears degraded.

If you like watching videos together with friends this phone is not for you. Bottom mounted speaker is barely audible. if you don't care about this then this phone is for you in under 13k range until newer better phones arrive. Not a fan of chinese phones so decided to go for Nokia 5.4 over the cheaper Nokia G20 after watching the comparsion review on YouTube Everything else is on par with price. Ideally this phone shouldnt be over 12k maximum price and i'm being generous Camera is better than G20. Screen is decent if you don't care for high PPI, Call quality is great, signal strength very good, WiFi works without disconnction Battery life is good depend on software you use and permissions granted. you will get 1 day on heavy use and 1.5-2 days on light use. Accubattery shows standy time of 8.5 days. (The phone has A.I. features to help battery management) Qualcomm Snapdragon processor are way better than meditek ones in the under 13k price range Processor and GPU can handle game better than correpsonding mediatek counterparts Has updates to Android 11 and Dec 2021 security updates as of 17th Jan 2022. This needs to be downloaded as phone came with android 10 out of box One bug i found is the phone proximity sensor doesnt turn screen back on sometimes. You need to double tap to wake screen another drawback is no compass sensor. Which is may or may not be a major issue Good phone let down by terrible bottom speaker. Bluetooth speakers can remedy low volume but when with friends outdoors carry speakers is not practical or appropriate and this could be a problem update : This phone has got android 12 update recently (august 2022)

Using it as my daily companion ever since I lost 5.3 and broken 6.1. Well I have pretty bad reputation as smart phone killer in my circle. But then using 5.4 I understood why nokia is still my favourite and can never trust other. 1. OS, stock Android is best. 2. Battery, can vouch on same. 3. 4g Network connection, awesome. Seen much costlier models from many OEM struggle for network but me just kicking. 4. Comes with screen gaurd, cover & headset (very basic) but then which gives at same price point. 5.Come on! this is a mobile phone not a DSLR, but still it performs good. 6. Well, dual band wifi is normally provided, you don't meet to tweek. 7. Speakers are terribly low sounding. Headset are the best for daily use. 8. Speed chargers are common now a days. Thanks to Amazon for spot on with delivery.

The phone is quite nice for regular use. I moved from Nokia 7 Plus to this for lack of mid range Nokia/other stock Android phones. Though the resolution is a bit of compromise, I'm quite happy with this for daily use (I don't watch videos/play games). Body/build feels a downgrade from 7 Plus, but acceptable at this price point as software experience and regular security updates are the main requirements for me. Overall I'm happy with the phone. UPDATE 1: I had earlier rated this phone 5* - but downgraded to 3* now - it was going great, but after Android 11 update, the phone occasionally freezes. When the phone is not used for some time (or when the 4G/Wifi is switched off for some time) and then you enable the data/open the phone, the phone suddenly freezes for several seconds. Maybe the software is not tuned for Android 11 or my phone has a problem. In either case, this should not have happened in a Nokia phone. Disappointed. UPDATE 2: My previous update downgraded from 5* to 3*. With this update, I'm downgrading to 1*. Why? Many standard features that were in the original phone missing without any intimation! Camera app has lost a lot of original useful features. I was thinking plus point of Nokia was software. But no, even there they've screwed up. Sorry, no more Nokia (this coming from a hard core Nokia fan). UPDATE 3: Now it's already mid June and the Last security update is dated 1-Mar!! The last advantage it had is lost too. I went for a Nokia for it's software and regular security updates. But Nokia disappointed me again! DEFINITELY no more Nokia for me! Now I'm almost angry.

I have the 6gb version and have been using this phone for approx 6 months and here is what I think of this device. Pros: 1) Stock android (zippy lightweight). 2) Slightly on the compact side. 3) The processor is good enough. 4) Battery life is good too. 5) Rear main cam is good. 6) Video recording from main cam is great. 7) This phone can game. 8) Plastic construction helps with the anxiety of dropping your phone. It won't crack. Cons: 1) Hardware design is lackluster, I think even poco does better than nokia on hardware design. This phone does not feel premium like the earlier gen nokia phones from 2017-18. 2) Horrible front camera. You will be embarrassed during video calls with friends and family. The 16mp count doesn't matter as it produces some vga cam quality. 3) The screen is dim and clearly belongs to a 9-10k price bracket. 720p though ok for general usage does ruin the video watching experience. 4) Hard to find accessories in local market. You will be forced to buy online at inflated prices.

The phone is really good, I really appreciate it. I have rated this phone with 4 stars because I believe this product is value for money. The camera quality is good but a little unsaturated. The battery life is great as compared to other phones with the same bagtery size. The ram management is almost perfect and couldn't complian about it. FYI, The screen protector was not properly applied. Here are the pros and cons that I feel about the phone. Pros :- 1. Ram management 2. Looks of the device. 3. Speakers. 4. 2 years of android updates. 5. Included headphones, charger, preapplied screen guard and jelly case. 6. Clean and Bloarware free UI. 7. Fast charging is supported. 8. Phone has a Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Cons :- 1. Build qulaity, it's all plastic. 2. Image processing. 3. No bothie or dual sight feature, it is an iconic nokia feature. 4. Headphones quality is really bad. You can only use it for office. 5. Pixel density a really low. Overall the phone has minor flaws which I have mentioned above. I like the product and it is a good purchase for 14.5k..

Value for money

The only thing that I don't appreciate about this phone is the 6.3inch display. I prefer a smaller phone. But seems like those are too hard to obtain without spending more than 25k. I love everything else about this phone. I am not a gamer, I have a different device for it. I am not a very keen photographer either barring the occasional selfie or a quick snap of my pets or surroundings. This gets the job done neatly provided there's enough light. I use this phone to make calls, to browse, ans to stream videos. The battery comfortably lasts a lot more than 1 day. Even 48 hours at times. Signal reception is better than my previous phone and audio quality is also good. Except for the 6.3 inch screen I do not have any other issues with this phone. If only Nokia would release the same specs in 5.5 inch or 5.8 inch form factor.
