Nokia 5.4 Announced! | The Good, The Bad, and The Meh By TheMrNokia [Abdulla Zaki]

Hey guys this is Abdullah and well. Nokia just announced the Nokia 5.4. So let's talk about the good, the bad and the meh before we do that. I would really appreciate if you guys, can subscribe to my channel. Thank you. So, let's start with the display, the 5.4 comes with a 6.39 inch, LCD, HD plus display. So that's a slightly smaller display compared to the 5.3 which it replaces when it comes to processor. The phone is running on the snapdragon 662 and the arena 610 GPU.

I wouldn't call this GPU a step-up compared to the 5.3, but it's more of a lateral move with some advantages and some disadvantages. When it comes to the battery. The 5.4 comes with a 4000mah battery, which is identical to the one found on the 5.3. The big improvement here and the main focus of this announcement was the 48 megapixel main camera, which also comes with a 5 megapixel ultra white camera and a 2 megapixel macro camera and a 2 megapixel depth sensor. So it retains the quad camera setup of the 5.3, but with a much better main camera, or at least on paper. The front camera, on the other hand, has been upgraded from an 8 megapixel shooter on the 5.3 to a 16 megapixel shooter on the 504. When it comes to ram and storage, the phone comes with a base, 4 gigs and 64 gigabytes of internal storage, and you can top it up with a 6 gigabyte, 128 gigs of internal storage.

If you want, as for starting price, it was announced at 189 euros as a starting price and announced also for the Middle East, specifically the use and the KSA for around 180 us dollars, which I think is quite a good price for this sort of device. The phone comes in two colors. There is polar knight, which was first seen on the 8.3, and then there is this new dawn color, which is purplish, and it's quite similar to the one found on the 3.4 anyways, I'm not going to cover every little speck here and there you can check the full list of specs on Nokia. net, and I'm going to post their link in the description down below. So let's get the bad out of the way.

From this announcement, I focus on two specific things here. One of them is that the Wi-Fi speed is only limited to 2.4 gigahertz compared to 5 gigahertz found on its predecessor, and this is a really strange decision over here, but I guess it's a cost-cutting measure. The other negative is that this phone is going to be shipped with android 10 out of the box and well, it's going to get updates, but android 10 at this time of the year. Ideally, it should come out with android 11 really, and the last negative thing is that I guess the 2 megapixel camera is, you know the macro camera is here to stay, so there's that moving on to the good aspects of the phone, I really like the design of this phone, and I think the color choices they went with are really, really nice, and you can expect good build quality, which is a Nokia standard. The imaging on this phone has been quite emphasized, and I really like that this phone actually comes with some features found on the 803.

So, for example, you get cinema mode which is quite cool and allows you to record video in a 219 aspect ratio and a lock format. I don't know if the lock format is going to be there, but it's still nice to have that sort of flexibility and that sort of advanced fine-tuning over your video. The other nice thing about the video recording is that the phone also supports zoo audio, and this brings also technology to the lowest price point ever seen on a Nokia device and that's quite nice. The phone is also capable of capturing 1080p. Video at 60 frames per second, which is a plus Loki, is also talking about the zero shutter lag, imaging experience when capturing images with the main camera- and I think that's gonna- be a nice improvement over the 5.3, which has a very slight but annoying shutter lag. I also can't wait to test out the 48 megapixel main camera and to see how much of an improvement there is over the 5.3. So that's definitely a good point and I feel like every Nokia should have special imaging and I think, they're finally starting to focus on that across all price points.

And then there are the two aspects. One is price. I don't think the price is absolutely amazing for what you get here, but it's quite a competitive price, especially the one announced for the Dubai and Saudi Arabia markets. Hopefully, more markets will get a similar pricing strategy and the final point, of course, is updates. So, even though the phone comes with android 10 out of the box, which is a bit of a bummer, it still gets two years of android updates and three user security updates, and that sort of makes it stand out in this price point and in this segment.

Let's finish the video with some meh aspects, so some of the things that don't excite me, but I don't think, are particularly bad for start. They still managed to keep the HD plus resolution found on the 5.3, and you know a lot of its competitors come with a full HD display. It doesn't really bother me that much, but it might bother some people, and it definitely doesn't look good when you analyze the specs and just look at them on paper. Then there is the processor which I'm not very excited about. Yes, it comes with this third generation AI they're touting, and I expect it to perform a bit better and be a bit more power efficient.

Let's say when it comes to battery consumption, but as a move, I don't think it's really a step-up, and it does have compromises compared to the snapdragon 665 found on its predecessor. Finally, in the much category there is the 5 megapixel ultrawide camera, which it retains from the 503. It wasn't a bad camera per se, but it just wasn't great, and you know, after a while, you stop using it, because the quality difference between it and the main camera is quite big. So I'm not super excited about its existence and yeah. I understand some of you.

I mean included, expected to see a stronger push by the end of the year. Maybe the announcement of the six or seven series, but I guess they've been postponed for 2021, so there's that it's a bit of a bummer for us fans. You know we're trying to be excited and trying to be optimistic about the brand. I feel, like things have been a bit slow near the end of 2020 and hopefully 2021 will be a better year for the brand. That's it from me.

Thank you guys very much for watching, and please don't forget to share like and subscribe, and I'll see you in the next one. You.
