Hello, dear readers of the website uspei.com. Nokia ... how many nostalgia in this name ... I think that in our country there are no people who would not use phones and smartphones of this company.
However, the company could not answer the appearance of the iPhone and Android and in the distant 2013 year year, after when Symbian is already completely outdated, and Nokia lost its greatness, Microsoft completely bought the company's mobile division with all its patents, and already in 2016 lost her and sold Chinese Foxconn and Hmd into the hands.
And, despite the fact that Nokia Technologies remains the main thing in the production of its smartphones, all these peripetias led to the fact that the brand has no longer any popularity, although modern smartphones deserve attention.
So today we will look at a very interesting representative of the budget price segment - Nokia 5.4 and compare a bit with the predecessor, Nokia 5.3.
Looking forward to say that there are chips in this smartphone, which will not even meet even in flagship smartphones. Well, that this is one of the direct competitors of the "folk" POCO M3. And it can be called "very budget pixel".
DesignDesign (like the beauty of something) - a place for desperate debate, whatever question we did not touch. So in this smartphone, on the one hand, there is nothing unusual or at least something interesting. And on the other, let's not forget about the price segment, because in state employees it is not often possible to meet something extravagant.
Looks 5.4 ... Modern. Like all smartphones of 2020. And you know, I'm still surprised. Surprised how in 2021 you can shut down your logo on the front panel?
But to be honest, then from the smartphone you receive only positive emotions during use. Well, if we are talking about "just keep in hand." After all, ergonomics here is really at a high level. The curved rear panel makes the smartphone comfortable, and thanks to the materials used here, the smartphone does not replace the dumbbell in the gym.
Unlike some who are trying to give out their plastic behind the glass, Nokia 5.4 right in the face tells me "Yes, I have a polycarbonate here, and what?". And nothing, because well-made plastic is not bad or ashamed.
Weight small, tactile sensations of norms, and repair will be much cheaper. But I have one "but" here and is called "gloss". Well, why guys? In the "Troika" there was a matte surface and this is much better! And the features with these hands and their feelings. Sleep this smartphone is simpler simple. And if you do not buy a cover, and it is included, of course, there is no, then the lion's share of the time of use by this handsome you will spend exactly the rubbing of your prints. From your own smartphone.
A few words about the placement of elements on the housing, because there is not so simple here. On the right side - power buttons and volume control. With them all "OK". On the top face - the input for connecting wired headphones, which is very, very "ok".
From the bottom of Type-C and one speaker, but on the left - the individual key to call a google-assistant. Does it need a user? Nuuuu ... Is that if you google everything. Well, or if you like to reassign the keys in your smartphone. Separate thanks for the fact that it is at least quite tight and accidentally presses.
Well, for its existence it is necessary to thank the Android One program, which includes almost all Nokia smartphones. That it gives the end user - we will discuss a little later.
But with the display not everything is so unequivocal. On the one hand, this is one of the few modern devices, the screen diagonal of which is less than 6.5 inches. Yes, 6.39 inches hard to call tiny, but it is already at least something. On the other hand, the resolution of all HD +. It looks like something ... in Korean, or if, for such a price, it was already to be FullHD.
But in no case say that the screen in this smartphone is completely bad, no. IPS LCD, 400 brightness yarn, aspect ratio of 19.5 to 9. And if you do not find fault, then in general it does its job quite well. But how there will be things in summer with such a brightness - the question for which I have no answer yet.
I always liked how the Finns (or not the Finns, or half the Finns) cope with the screen calibration, because the colors on their smartphones look at the same time and naturally, and at the same time bright and saturated.
So my only serious claim to it is brightness. Well, even if it is compared with the predecessor, then the new display has become a little less. Well, "bangs" replaced the "hole-point" (if anything, it did not come up with such a name).
With iron, everything is also very interesting. First, the system on the crystal (or simply put "processor") is Snapdragon 662. Eight nuclei, among which four powerful cores with a frequency of 2 GHz, and the other four energy-saving, with a frequency of ... 1.8 GHz. The difference is really wildly "awesome", but what can be done here.
Supplement its 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64 GB of integrated EMMC memory. Well, as for me - in 2021, it is already quite unestive to use this type of memory in a 200 dollars smartphone.
If we talk about dry numbers in benchmarks, then everything is pretty good and places even better than the same Poco M3. Yes, from a cold start after unlocking, performance may seem smaller than it actually, but all this continues literally a few seconds.
The smooth interface is mainly satisfactory and sometimes it seems that 90 Hz are used here. But sometimes it happens on the contrary. And I will also tell about it later.
Games ... Well, on low and middle settings you can play, but not long. If you run some AAA project, then about 5-10 minutes, the smartphone will be difficult to keep in hand, and the processor will lose about 15-20% of the power. Therefore, this smartphone is not for gemina, not for gaming.
CamerasAn interesting point personally for me, since Nokia has promised to all of us the camera with incredible features. And in some places it really is. Despite the fact that the nominally cameras here are four, on the fact of removing 95% of the pictures, everything will be only on the main 48 Mp chamber with a diaphragm 1.8.
Yes, there are also 5 megapixels of ultrashirogolnik, but it is very dark and even in the afternoon photo on him they come out. But the main module removes very well (of course, not forgetting about the price segment). True, at night he is a little worse, but it is possible to fix it with a Google camera.
Well, yes, there is still a macroer (on which even you can even shoot a video) and the camera for measuring the depth. So nominally they are still four.
But what is really interesting here is a video shooting. Nokia 54 allows the user to shoot video on the usual and ultra-wide-organized camera Logarithmic video with an increased dynamic range and information about the colors and the possibility of post-processing "paint" video as it is pleased.
To do this, you need to select the "Cinema" mode in the Camera application and the smartphone will immediately begin shooting the video in the 21: 9 proportions with the ability to set up bitrate, white balance, exposure, focus and ISO both before and during recording. And everything would be nothing if the resolution of such a video would be more than 1920 per 822 and the speed would be more than 24 k / s.
On the one hand - well, yes, movies, 24 frames and so on, but ... Kamon, why can not be removed the usual 16: 9? Well, with such a resolution, a straight road in ... Bollywood. And if that - such opportunities almost any smartphone can provide the Filmic Pro application.
AutonomyI was pleasantly surprised by the autonomy of this smartphone, because 4000 mAh no longer surprise anyone. But, perhaps, the lowest resolution played its positive role on autonomy, because in the PCMark Nokia 5.4 test, it was able to get almost 17 hours of work, which means 2 days without games and with moderate use of social networks will be guaranteed.
A few words about some moments. Sound is surprisingly pleasant, the vibro does not infuriate too. But the variants of biometric protection are somewhat distressed. Although no, they are not careful, because the finger is recognized in most cases, and in the face of the smartphone recognized me even after shaving.
It grips on all this speed of animation and the reaction of the smartphone to awakening. I accuse this EMMC memory and ... operating system. Exactly. As I said earlier, this smartphone is included in the Android One program and must receive two years of updates. At least as indicated on the device box.
And if you think it guarantees him two versions of the new Android, then I have bad news for you. We make a review at the end of February 2021. This smartphone was announced at the end of December and just recently he was on sale. And on board him 10th android. Until now, it has not been updated to 11. And 12th is already announced. Therefore, it is possible under two years of support "Well, in two years we will update you to a smartphone to the version with which he had to appear."
I have almost no questions for the same shell, because it is the Google-Experiense that some people want so much. So this smartphone can really be called a pixel on themselves minimal. But some friezes are sometimes possible, this is a fact.
Summing up, I can say that Nokia 5.4 is a smartphone not without "but". He has a very specific drive and not too bright display, which can show himself in the summer not from the best side. But on the other hand, we have a nice interface, very good autonomy and a hypothetically interesting chamber for sparklers. And for the pleasant price.
