HMD Global has introduced a couple of new smartphones today — including the new Nokia 5.3.

This new mid-range smartphone features a 6.55-inch HD+ display, a resolution that’s a bit lacking for a device on this price. On the upside, the Nokia 5.3 is powered with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, which shall perform better in this undemanding, lower-resolution screen.

Another benefit of going with an HD+ screen, instead of FHD+, is the improved battery efficiency. Nokia claims that its 4,000mAh battery can go for up to 2-days.

Probably the big upgrade here is on the design. Just like the also-new Nokia 8.3 5G, the quad-camera setup is inside a circular glass, with the LED flash in the middle.

It uses a 2.5D glass on the front and a scratch-resistant material on the back. It’s available in Sand, Charcoal, and Cyan.

Being part of the Android One program, the Nokia 5.3 runs on a clean Android 10 OS, with no skin applied. It even comes with a dedicated Google Assistant button. Nokia also promises 3 years of updates on this thing.
