After a prolonged period of silence, HMD Global has today emerged on Indian shores once again with the launch of the Nokia 5.3. The smartphone was first unveiled earlier this year and has finally found its way to India. Nokia 5.3 is a sub-Rs. 15,000 budget smartphone with Snapdragon 665, quad-cameras, and a decent-sized battery under the hood.
Starting off with the design, Nokia 5.3 boasts a composite back panel (a fancy word for plastic back) with the company’s signature Nordic aesthetic. You’ll also find a circular quad-camera system and a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the rear.
The quad-camera system on the rear includes a 13MP (f/1.8) primary sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. This camera system is not backed by Zeiss and you have an LED flash sitting in the middle.
The 4GB+64GB base variant of the Nokia 5.3 has been priced at Rs. 13,999 whereas the higher-end 6GB+64GB variant has been priced at Rs. 15,499 in India.
