It has a pre-installed screen protector, a clear phone case, a USB-C charger and an earphone. I hope Nokia can keep its word "2 years Android upgrades".

I'm an undemanding middle-aged phone user. I wanted a phone with enough space for apps, enough speed and memory to cope with everyday tasks, a large clear screen, a decent camera, a headphone socket and a memory card slot.

Nokia 5.4 is the successor to the Nokia 5.3 announced in the early days of March, 2020. The major upgrade in the new comer includes a larger 48-megapixel main camera, better selfie snapper and of course, a more compact overall bodily profile.

The Nokia 5.4 is currently available on bhphotovideo.com for $249.99, but it is temporarily out of stock on bestbuy.com and amazon.com .

IPS panel with a high contrast ratio; good battery life; no overheating; NFC; triple-card slot

slow Wi-Fi; haptics; slow storage; 720p screen

The Nokia 5.4 looks great on the surface, but compared to its predecessor and much of the budget competition, it's a hard sell.

Stock Android 10; Great main camera performance; Long battery life;

Downgrades compared to Nokia 5.3; HD resolution isn't great; Slight increase in price;

nokia 5.4: The Nokia 5.4’s budget price comes with a few too many caveats to earn a recommendation

Great price, Quad cameras for less, Eye-catching design

Too similar to Nokia 5.3, Battery life could be better, Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T is better in almost every way

The Nokia 5.4 provides an all-round competent budget phone experience, and we’ll always appreciate Nokia’s pure approach to Android.

The Nokia 5.4 is the brand’s latest budget contender. Though it has a sturdy, attractive design, its poor cameras, inconsistent performance, underwhelming screen, and lack of personality mean it is poor value compared to its closest rivals at the price point.

No bloatware; Good battery life; Sturdy design; ;

Bad cameras; Low-resolution screen; Underwhelming performance

Looking over my list of pros and cons, I'm a little annoyed. Not only does this Nokia carry so much potential in the 5.4 compared to its predecessor, it fails to live up to the opportunity given to drive a message to its competitors.

Carries a modern look; Android One; 4,000 mAh battery; Main camera significantly better than the one on the Nokia 5.3

Too few features for €200
