Nokia 5.4 Unboxing - No Frills Budget Smartphone By Geeky Stuff

Hey guys, welcome back to the channel. I just got back from Argos. Spent 159.99 Pounds on the Nokia 5.4. A budget smartphone from Nokia. Quite intrigued, let's take a look at it. Okay guys, here we go.

Closer look at some of the specs here, they have a quad camera setup there. The 48 megapixel, 2 megapixel depth sensor, 5 megapixel ultra wide, and a 2 megapixel macro. And a 16 megapixel front camera. Now 6.39 inch HD Plus display, powered by the Snapdragon 662, and has a 4,000 milliamp battery as well. And Android 11 ready, the Nokia 5.4 Take this off. 'Ok Google', so pop the phone out to one side.

SIM tray ejector tool. And in here, a manual underneath there. Charging block, and Type-C charging cable, good stuff. Let's go to the phone. Peel this off... So, 159 Pounds for Nokia phone.

Okay, let's have a look at this back then. Plastic back. It's quite a nice design though. So I opted for the blue color. You can see the quad camera setup there.

Fingerprint sensor on the back. Let's feel how.. Yeah, that's quite nice. You can definitely feel where that fingerprint sensor is. That's really good.

Flashlight there next to that. That feels like a nice size as well. Front facing camera. Power and Volume rocker on that side.3.5 mm socket for all you wired headphone fans. Now there's a SIM tray, and there's another button on the side there.

Not entirely sure what that button is just yet. And at the bottom, Type-C port there, speakers, and a tiny microphone. Let's turn this on, see what we got. Android One, nice. Oh yeah, I think I know what that button is now on that side.

'Push', so I think you can push for Google Assistant. Classic, classic tone. It was back in the day. Yeah, so that looks like a push for Google Assistant button on the side there. So hole punch design, top left for the camera.

A thick chin there at the bottom, and relatively thin-ish bezels around the side and the top. Let's go and set this up, and I'll be back shortly. Okay, so I'm back. This display is whacked up to full brightness, and just wanted to check the viewing angles and stuff like that. Doesn't seem to be too bad there.

But when you've got it halfway down, it's not, not as great. This is an IPS LCD panel, 720p resolution as well. Let's put that back up there. The operating system looks clean, really, really clean, and that's it. No bloatware at all, so that's good.

That's Android One for you, I suppose. I also noticed if you drag down on the fingerprint sensor, you can bring down the menu, which is good. Let's go to Settings, have a look through here. Battery, 58% left. So like I said, 4000 milliamp battery.

Storage, it has 64 gigabytes of internal storage.14 gig of that has been used. Come down here to About Phone. Nokia 5.4, Android 10. It is Android 11 Ready. That looks good.

System, Advance, Android 10. Let's see what we got. System's up to date, apparently I was actually looking at the RAM actually, because I didn't realize how much RAM it's got. This has got 4 gigabytes of RAM in here. So 4 gigs of RAM, 64 gigabytes of internal storage, Snapdragon 662.

Let's have a look at the fingerprint sensor. Let's make sure the lock sounds and everything are up. Yeah. Right, fingerprint. Yeah, okay it's working.

Yeah, seems to be accurate. Could be a little bit quicker. But, we do have that 662 chipset. It's a budget device. It's got budget specs, so we can't expect super, super fast performance.

And there's NFC available, which is great for such an affordable device, 159.99. That is very good to see. So I want to take a closer look now at the cameras. Quad camera setup. And, looks like we've got the ultra wide setting there, and the macro setting there at your fingertips.

So let me take a few shots and videos, and I'll be back shortly. Okay, I'm back. Unlock. Okay, so I've had a test on videos and the pictures. Let me quickly show the front facing video, 1080p at 60 frames per second.

Let's see what you think. Okay so this is front facing video, 1080p at 60 frames per second. That's the max you can record on this, and the lens seems quite cropped in so I'm going to have to hold it at arm's length for me to actually really fit. And I've got long arms, I'm a tall bloke. So yeah, that on arm's length, and I'm only just getting on my head and face in there.

Quality, I've definitely seen better. Colors look quite washed out as well, to be honest. I don't know what the sound quality sounds like, whether the mic's any good, so to let me know in the comments below or I'll find out when I start editing the video. Let me know what you guys think. Okay, so take a look at 1080p 60 frames per second footage on the rear of this smartphone.

There were parts where on the actual screen, it looked quite jittery. Take a look for yourself. Okay, so this is rear video. Let me get a little bit close on some of the subjects. There's no stabilization on this as I'm walking back and forth and around, but it doesn't seem too bad.

I'm not over excited about the quality. It's pulsing quite a bit there, keeps autofocusing. Colors look dull. Yeah, I expected a little bit better to be honest. You get better performance from Umidigi cameras, and they're sort of the same price.

It reminds me I still need to do my review on this doorbell. What do you think guys? Okay, so the selfie camera, turn the brightness down a touch on there, does the job. For a budget device, it's a sort of a 'no frills' sort of camera really, overall for the Nokia 5.4 The selfie camera does the job. Color is okay, slightly washed out and a little bit dull, but it does the job. Same with Portrait mode.

It's just a standard Portrait mode setting. You can't adjust the Bokeh mode at all. It's just one strength, and one strength only. Does a good job with blurring the background as well. So I thought I'd try the macro lens as well.

Picked up quite a lot of detail. This is the edge of a MDF plaque that my partner has been working on. You can also see a bit of kitchen roll there as well. It hasn't done a bad job. This is the proper view from the normal, standard camera.

And I think the best thing about this Nokia camera setup is the main rear camera. You do get some better shots than you would do on the selfie camera, and video. For still images, for the rear camera, it does a decent job. And again here, color accuracy is good. I can zoom in slightly there.

Lots of detail. It does a really nice job. And then this is the ultra wide as well. And one thing I can say about the ultra wide, the colors are slightly different. So, slightly washed out than the main camera, but there doesn't seem to be any warping or distortion anywhere in the image, which is good.

Portrait setting on the rear camera, again, really good job. I like that the color accuracy is pretty much spot on. Good detail, sharp images. Again look, really nice. And then I took it outside.

Took a picture of the sky, you can see the sun just sort of beaming over the back of the house there. I think the clouds look really nice in this picture. Houses become a little bit dark. Dynamic Range could be a little bit better there, I suppose. But, not too bad.

I mean, it's a 160 Pounds smartphone. Like I said, it's a 'no frills' smartphone. So this is what you can expect on the Nokia 5.4 It's a 720p 60 frames per second obviously because it's only a 720p display. Let's pinch to zoom in there so it's the full screen experience now. I have seen better displays, but it's not doing that bad of a job.

Okay, so let's take a look at the audio performance. There's a little loudspeaker there at the bottom. Let's see what we get. So it's one loudspeaker at the bottom, no grill. In terms of volume, I've heard more powerful.

Very high frequencies there. Okay, so I think that loudspeaker is lacking a little bit of power. I prefer something a little bit louder. Little bit less muddy sounding as well, if I'm being honest. So the Nokia 5.4, it's not blown me away. But in it's defense, it's only a 159 Pound smartphone.

I think originally it's 179. It's on sale at the moment. Yeah but, it has not blown me away. It's got a nice, clean operating system though, which is good. It's light, fairly light in the hand.

It's manageable. It does feel comfortable. I'd definitely give it that. The photos on the rear camera in Portrait mode, are pretty strong. It lacks in the video department though, and on the front facing camera.

I think in terms of performance, and what I've been using it for the few hours I've had it so far, seems to be quite nippy, which is good. And on the box it says upto 2 years Android upgrades as well. And Nokia are a reputable company, so in terms of customer service and support, you s hould be great there. But if you're looking for an affordable device with no frills, and you just want to use it as a phone with the occasional sort of browsing, the pictures here and there, it could be a good choice. So any questions guys, pop them in the comments below.

There should be a review on this smartphone, depends how I get on. If you want to know any more information then please let me know. Give the video a thumbs up, Subscribe, and I will see you very soon. Thanks for watching.
