Display
Display Size: 6.39 inches
Display Type: IPS LCD
Screen Resolution: 720 x 1560 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 269 PPI
The Nokia 5.4 packs a 6.39 inches display. The display has a screen resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels and a screen resolution density (a measure of sharpness) of 269 PPI.
However, what’s interesting is that 5.4 has a display profile that ranks slightly below in terms of sophistication when compared to that of its more affordable sibling, the Nokia 1.4.
There should be a reason for this, it’s probably something to do with keeping the costs down to keep the price of the Nokia 5.4 within the mid-range price category. Well, it’s still quite a bummer and the display struggles to offer a bang for your kes.
Design
Dimensions: 161 x 76 x 8.7 mm
The Nokia 5.4 is one gorgeous smartphone. It’s quite a looker, the kind that will effortlessly attract eyeballs.
You get a compact unibody design profile with the camera design on the rear side of the smartphone making the device pop.
Performance
Operating System: Android 10
CPU: 2.0 GHz Octa-core (Qualcomm SM6115)
RAM: 4/6 GB
Internal Memory: 64/128 GB
Micro SD: Yes
A 2.0 GHz Octa-core powers the Nokia 5.4. This is coupled with 4/6 GB RAM. The set-up is quite good and the smartphone will be able to run pretty much all the standard apps and some high-intensive apps and games.
The Nokia 5.4 CPU is based on the Qualcomm SM6115 chipset engineering. The Qualcomm SM6115 platform has five unique selling prepositions; AI support, camera performance, efficiency and flawless location tracking and is Wi-Fi 6 ready.
The demerit is that the chipset isn’t 5G ready, which can be a deal-breaker for some customers.
Software-wise, the Nokia 5.4 runs Android 10 out of the box. This is a bummer and it would have been great if the smartphone ran the more recent Android 11 OS, now that it’s just a couple of months until Google unveils Android 12.
However, it is noteworthy to mention that Nokia promises three years of software updates. Nokia has in the past delivered this promise.
