HMD Global launched two affordable handsets in India and in the global market: the Nokia 3.4 and the Nokia 5.4. It is kinda obvious that the 5.4 is a superior phone to the Nokia 3.4, you just need to read their names to understand it. But which are the differences between these two budget phones and which one is better for your actual need? These are harder things to understand, and that is why we decided to make a comparison between the two handsets. Check it if you want to know everything about them and which one is the best for you.

Nokia 3.4 vs Nokia 5.4

Design

The Nokia 3.4 and the Nokia 5.4 have the same design: a punch-hole display, narrow bezels around the screen, a circular camera module, and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. They even come with the same dimensions and the same weight. There are just two differences: the camera elements and the color variants. The Nokia 5.4 has a LED flash placed outside of the camera module, while on the Nokia 3.4, it is inside the camera module. This makes the design of the Nokia 3.4 slightly more attractive, but the Polar Night color variants of the Nokia 5.4 is more beautiful, at least for me.

Display

With the Nokia 3.4 and the Nokia 5.4, you get exactly the same display panel: it is a 6.39-inch display with an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, a 400 nit typical brightness, and a 269 ppi pixel density. It is a below-average display in terms of image quality since you get a low level of detail and a not-so-exciting panel in terms of contrast and brightness. But it is still a sufficient display for most of the users out there.

Specs & Software

One of the biggest advantages of the Nokia 5.4 over the Nokia 3.4 is the hardware setup. First of all, it has a stronger Snapdragon 662 chipset. It remains a low-end SoC, but it is more powerful than the Snapdragon 460 found on the Nokia 3.4. Further, the Nokia 5.4 offers up to 128 GB of internal storage, while you can get just 64 GB of native storage on the Nokia 3.4. Both the phones run Android 10 out of the box, close to the stock version, which will get a lot of updates in the long-term thanks to the famous HMD Global software support.

Camera

Besides the hardware department, the most important advantage of getting a Nokia 5.4 is the camera, and we are specifically talking about the main camera found on the rear side. While the Nokia 3.4 has a disappointing 13 MP sensor, the Nokia 5.4 comes with a pretty nice 48 MP main camera boasting a bright f/1.8 focal aperture. You can shoot photos with a higher level of detail and better performance in low light conditions. Even the selfie camera is better on the Nokia 5.4: you get a pretty good 16 MP front snapper.

Battery

The Nokia 3.4 and the Nokia 5.4 pack the same battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh. Given that the display is the same as well, and the chipsets are built at 11 nm, the phones should offer a very similar battery life. So you should choose the best device for you after checking the other specs: do not mind about the battery. In each case, you get a great battery phone with a battery lasting all day long even with intensive usage.

Price

The price of the Nokia 3.4 for the global market is €159/$193 (the European price, to be accurate), while the Nokia 5.4 is sold at €199/$241 in Europe. Should you spend those €40 more in order to get a better device? It depends on your actual needs: if you need better camera performance (for both normal photos and selfies), then go for the Nokia 5.4. Given the small gap between the processors of these two devices, we would not suggest spending €40 more just for the performance. Your final decision should be mainly based on the cameras.

The post Nokia 3.4 vs Nokia 5.4: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nokia 5.4 was launched months ago for the first time, but now, HMD Global launched it in several other regions including India and European countries. The price is still very competitive, but the concurrency is fierce. Is the European brand able to compete with the most competitive phones released by Chinese handsets? There is no better way to understand it than comparing the Nokia 5.4 with the best Chinese devices in the same price range. If you are from India or Europe, you will find a very interesting phone in the same price segment: the Realme 7.

Nokia 5.4 vs Realme 7

Design

Unfortunately, the Nokia 5.4 and the Realme 7 do not offer a premium design. Both are made with a plastic body and they do not feature a glass back, neither an aluminum frame. But they still have a pretty nice look. The advantage of the Nokia 5.4 is its compact size with a slimmer and thinner body. Realme 7 has a better look since it comes with a cleaner back, reflective color variants, and a punch-hole display with a higher screen-to-body ratio. But it is bigger, thicker and heavier due to its bigger display and battery.

Display

Do you need the best display? Then you should definitely go for the Realme 7. First of all, it features a higher resolution than Nokia 5.4: Full HD+, with 1080 x 2340 pixels. Further, it has a higher 90 Hz refresh rate. Last but not least, even the brightness is higher. The Nokia 5.4 has a smaller display which is actually easier to use with one hand, but it has a lower HD+ resolution and a standard refresh rate. For authentication, Realme 7 relies on a side-mounted fingerprint reader, while Nokia 5.4 has a rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

If you want the highest performance, then Realme 7 is the correct choice for you. It boasts a powerful Helio G95 chipset by MediaTek paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage. The Nokia 5.4 has a weaker Snapdragon 662, just 4 GB of RAM, and up to 128 GB of internal storage. What makes the Nokia 5.4 great is the software: it is close to stock Android and it will be supported in the long term, just like other Nokia phones. Both the phones are based on Android 10 and feature a micro SD dedicated slot to expand the internal storage.

Camera

The camera departments of the Realme 7 and the Nokia 5.4 are very close. On the rear side, they are almost identical with the exception of the ultrawide sensor: you get a 5 MP ultrawide lens on the Nokia 5.4 and an 8 MP ultrawide camera on the Realme 7. On the front side, both feature a 16 MP selfie snapper, but the Nokia 5.4 has a brighter focal aperture. What really makes the difference is the camera algorithm.

Battery

Realme 7 is the battery champion and it wins the battery comparison thanks to its huge 5000 mAh battery, no matter that it features less efficient hardware components. The Realme 7 also features 30W fast charging bringing the battery from 0 to 100 percent in just 65 minutes, while the Nokia 5.4 has no fast charging at all.

Price

If we consider the Indian market, the starting price of the Nokia 5.4 is Rs. 13,999 for the configuration with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of native storage. You can actually get the Realme 7 for Rs. 14,999 in India, in its base variant with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of storage. In Europe, the Nokia 5.4 is costlier with its €199 price, while Realme 7 starts from €179. Overall, Realme 7 wins the comparison due to the higher refresh rate of its display, higher performance thanks to the Helio G95 chipset, bigger battery, and 30W fast charging. The Nokia 5.4 will most likely have a constantly-updated software department, but the specifications are inferior to the Realme 7.

HMD Global is a big player in the smartphone market but it is often underrated. If you want a phone with stock Android and long-term updates, even in the entry-level segment, you have to choose a Nokia phone. This is the biggest advantage of Nokia devices, but not the only one. The Nokia 5.4 recently debuted in the Indian market with a very attractive price tag and pretty nice specifications. Here, we compared it to one of the best devices in the same price segment and the best which features the same chipset as the Nokia 5.4: we are talking about the best-buy POCO M3 by Xiaomi.

Nokia 5.4 vs Xiaomi POCO M3

Design

You should not go for so affordable devices if you want a premium design, but the Nokia 5.4 remains a pretty elegant phone. Despite being an entry-level handset, it has a punch-hole display with narrow bezels and a lightweight body. It is more compact and even thinner than the POCO M3, as well as more raffinate. The POCO M3 is definitely uglier with its big camera module and its waterdrop notch making it look like an older phone. While the POCO M3 has a side-mounted fingerprint reader, the Nokia 5.4 has a rear-mounted scanner.

Display

If we look at the quality of the displays, there is no much difference between Nokia 5.4 and Xiaomi POCO M3. Both feature an IPS panel with an HD+ resolution (720 x 1560 pixels), as well as a 400 nit typical brightness. The level of detail is more or less the same, as well as the color reproduction. What changes is the display diagonal: you get 6.39 inches with the Nokia 5.4 and a wider 6.53-inch panel with the Xiaomi POCO M3. This is what makes the Xiaomi POCO M3 more comfortable for power users, but the HD+ resolution may disappoint them.

Specs & Software

Nokia 5.4 and Xiaomi Poco M3 are powered by the same chipset: the Snapdragon 662 by Qualcomm. But with the Xiaomi POCO M3, you actually get better memory configurations. The 128 GB variants of the Xiaomi POCO M3 come with UFS 2.2 native storage and up to 6 GB of RAM, while Nokia 5.4 stops at 4 GB of RAM and it does not have so fast internal storage. On the other hand, the Nokia 5.4 is more interesting in terms of software: it has a stock Android version that will most likely get faster and more constant updates from the manufacturer.

Camera

On the paper, the Nokia 5.4 has a better camera setup. It is almost the same as the POCO M3, with a single difference: the Nokia 5.4 has a 5 MP ultrawide sensor, while its rival does not. Further, the Nokia 5.4 has a better 16 MP selfie camera allowing for better selfies, while its opponent has just 8 MP on the front side. After looking at the specs on the paper, there seems to be no doubt about the fact that Nokia 5.4 is a better camera phone, but only if you mind about ultrawide photos and selfies.

Battery

Xiaomi POCO M3 has a much bigger battery than Nokia 5.4: its capacity is a whopping 6000 mAh. And given that Xiaomi POCO M3 has a similar specs sheet to the Nokia 5.4 with the same chipset and almost the same display specifications, its battery life is longer in every scenario. That is not all: the POCO M3 features 18W fast charging and reverse charging, while Nokia 5.4 does not have any of these features. Its battery is smaller and it has standard charging.

Price

Nokia 5.4 carries a starting price of Rs. 13,999 / $193 in India (we are talking about the base variant with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage), while the base configuration of the Xiaomi Poco M3 costs Rs. 10,999 / $151. The Nokia 5.4 is a better phone except for the battery, but the Xiaomi POCO M3 carries a more affordable price. It is not an easy choice giving the long battery life and fast charging offered by the POCO M3, but given that it lets us save money, we would go for it.

Nokia may have plans in motion to launch a number of smartphones in India. We have exclusive information that the Nokia 5.4 will be launched in India on February 10. The company has not released any teaser to that effect just yet but started teasing the Nokia 3.4 earlier today. That could be an indication that the 3.4 will be launched on the same day as well.

The Nokia 5.4 was first launched in December 2020 as a mid-range smartphone. The phone is powered by a 6.39-inch IPS LCD display that produces an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 662 chip and boots the Android One edition of the Android 10 OS. It comes with a dedicated physical key to access the Google Assistant as well as a rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

The freshly teased Nokia 3.4 smartphone, on its part, was introduced in September 2020. The launch is coming three months after the Nokia 2.4 came on board in November 2020 in India.

The specs of the Nokia 3.4  include a 6.39-inch (720 x 1560 pixels) HD screen,  19.5:9 aspect ratio, 2.5D curved glass display, with 400 nits (typ.) / 300 nits (min.) brightness,  and 70% NTSC color gamut.

The smartphone is powered by an Octa-Core Snapdragon 460nm 11nm processor (1.8GHz x 4+1.6GHz x 4 Kryo 240 CPUs) with 600MHz Adreno 610 GPU. The processor is paired with 3GB/4GB RAM and there is 32GB/64GB of expandable storage onboard.

It is a Dual SIM (nano + nano + microSD) device running on Android 10,  with capability to be upgraded to Android 11 and 12. Its 8MP front-facing camera, 13MP rear camera with LED flash, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, 2MP depth sensor all combine to give a decent picture experience.

In November 2020 when the Nokia 2.4 was unveiled for the Indian consumers, it sold for Rs. 10,399, and it is expected that the price of the Nokia 3.4 will be significantly different from the Nokia 2.4. 

However, we keep our fingers crossed as we await the official release of Nokia 3.4 and 5.4 into the saturated Indian market in the coming days.

The FCC certification platform has recently three Nokia handsets with model numbers TA-1333, TA-1337, and TA-1340. Some of the key details of these phones have appeared through FCC listings.

The Nokia TA-1333 FCC listing has revealed that it is an affordable LTE phone, and it supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connectivity. The device houses a 4,000mAh. The rear schematic of the phone reveals that it features a round-shaped camera module. The Nokia TA-1337 FCC listing shows that it is an LTE smartphone with a 4,000mAh battery. It supports Bluetooth 4.2 and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band.

The FCC listing of the Nokia TA-1340 reveals that its design and construction are identical to the TA-1333 phone. The only difference is that the TA-1333 supports dual SIM support, whereas the TA-1340 supports dual SIM and single SIM.

The user manual of the Nokia TA-1340 has revealed its front and rear design.

The bottom edge of the TA-1340 Nokia phone has a microphone, a USB-C port, and a loudspeaker. The right edge of the device has a power/lock button. The SIM/memory card slot and a Google Assistant hardware key can be found on its left spine.

The Nokia 3.4 that debuted in October this year came with a similar front and rear design. However, one noticeable difference on the Nokia 3.4 is that its round-shaped camera module has three cameras and an LED flash. Hence, it appears that the Nokia TA-1340 could be positioned higher than the Nokia 3.4. This indicates that the TA-1340 could be the Nokia 5.4 handset.

Past reports have revealed that the Nokia 5.4 is packed with specs like a 6.4-inch display, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB / 128 GB of storage. It is expected to arrive in Blue and Purple colors.

The list has names from biggies like Huawei, Lenovo, Samsung, OPPO, Vivo, and more. As always we have included few devices that are speculated to arrive this month at the end.

OPPO Reno5 series

Perhaps, the next big launch in China would be the Reno5 series of smartphones. It is rumored to launch on December 10 in China. Anyway, the lineup will likely have three devices- Reno5 5G, Reno5 Pro 5G, Reno5 Pro+ 5G. The entire specs of the device have been leaked ahead of launch.

Reno5 5G will probably have a 6.43-inch 90Hz AMOLED FHD+(1080p) display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G SoC, 4,300mAh battery with 65W charging, ColorOS 11. As for the optics, it will likely feature a quad-camera setup with 64MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, two 2MP sensors, and a 32MP selfie shooter.

Reno5 Pro will have similar specs as the Reno5 but a bigger 6.55-inch display, Dimensity 1000+ SoC, and a slightly larger 4,350mAh battery. And as per leaks, the difference between Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ is a bigger 4,500mAh battery, Snapdragon 865 SoC, and rear cameras. Accordingly, it will most likely include a mysterious Sony IMX7xx 50MP lens, 16MP ultra-wide, 12MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and a 2MP macro sensor.

Lenovo Lemon K12 Series 

After confirming the arrival of Lemon brand smartphones, Lenovo has confirmed that the Lemon K12 series of smartphones will launch on December 9 in China. The devices are likely rebranded Motorola phones from Global markets. Accordingly, the Lenovo K12 Pro will be a rebranded version of Moto G9, while the K12 will be a rebrand of Moto E7.

Huawei launched the Nova 8 SE back in November. The company is expected to expand the Nova8 lineup and if reports are true it will happen this month. Certifications received an earlier hint that the lineup will include two more devices- Nova8, and Nova8 Pro. The Pro model will likely feature a dual punch-hole display with curved edges. Sadly, not much is known about the series but the Nova 8 could sport Dimensity 820 SoC, rectangular layout with quad-cameras, while the Pro model will have Dimensity 1000+ SoC.

The Honor V40 series was expected to launch last month. However, a lot happened in December and now Honor is no longer a sub-brand of Huawei. Hence, the V40 series could be the first Honor Smartphones after the split. Although it is rumored to launch in December along with the Nova8 series, some reports say that it might get skipped to Jan 2021. The series will have V40 Pro, V40 Pro+. Reports say that both the devices will have a 6.72-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, 50MP Sony IMX700 RYYB camera, 66W wired & 40W wireless charging, 5G, Dimensity 1000+ SoC(V40), and more.

Vivo recently launched the OriginOS in China. It is expected to power the new Vivo smartphones going forward.

Reports say that the series will have Vivo X60, X60 Pro, likely feature Samsung Exynos 1080 SoC, and start around 3,500 yuan($532).

Nokia 5.4 is likely to launch very soon and the design, colors, and possible specs of it have already been leaked. Now, a fresh report by Nokiamob.net says that the price of the Nokia 5.4 has been tipped by Australia’s retailers.

According to the report(via MSP), Nokia’s retailers like Acquire, Aus Shop IT have listed Nokia 5.4 name in Blue, and Purple colors. Although the listing doesn’t have any renders, colors corroborates with the earlier leak. Moving on, the Aus Shop IT goes a step above and lists the 4GB RAM, 128GB Purple variant for AUD 349($257/₹19,018). However, Acquire lists the same variant for AUD371($273/₹20,176).

To compare, going by the name, it’s predecessor Nokia 5.3 launched for EUR 189($225) in Europe and ₹13,999 in India. That said, the new listing could just be a placeholder, hence, let’s wait for the official launch. Either way, the device will be an upgrade at least in terms of performance. According to reports, it will sport a display with a punch-hole design.

The size will, however, be similar to the Nokia 3.4(likely a 6.39-inch display) which is down from 6.55-inch on Nokia 5.3. Considering the price, and the lineup, we can expect it to be an HD+ (720p) display. Under the hood, it will feature a processor faster than Snapdragon 665 SoC on the Nokia 5.3. For cameras, you can expect the same quad-rear layout from the predecessor but we don’t want to jinx it’s performance yet.

Other basic features like 4G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C, 3.5mm audio jack, a base 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage model, and more likely to return. If reports are true, the device will probably launch alongside the Nokia 7.3 5G next month. And hence, let’s wait for more details as we inch closer to the launch.

Just like a number of manufacturers, HMD Global’s product release schedule doesn’t have a clear cut pattern. The Nokia 5 series which launched in early 2017 got two successors the following year – the Nokia 5.1 and Nokia 5.1 Plus. In 2019, the series didn’t get a new model, and then in March of this year, the Nokia 5.3 was announced. A new report says that the Nokia 5.4 may be announced this year too.

The Nokia 5.4 is rumored to launch next month alongside the Nokia 7.3 5G if that launch doesn’t get postponed just like that of the Nokia 9.3 PureView. The blog, Nokia Power User, says they have gotten exclusive info regarding the design, configuration, and colors of the Nokia 5.4.

According to the source, the Nokia 5.4 will adopt the hole-punch design, dropping the waterdrop notch of its predecessor. The screen size is said to be the same 6.39-inch size as that of the Nokia 3.4 but the resolution is not stated. Considering the Nokia 5.3 has an HD+ screen, we believe this will be the case for its successor.

There is no specific info on the processor but it is reported to be more powerful than the Snapdragon 665 chipset inside the Nokia 5.3. The chip will be paired with 4GB of RAM and will be available in 64GB and 128GB variants. It is also expected to have four rear cameras. Buyers will be able to choose from two color options – Blue and Green.

There is no mention of the battery capacity, but we hope the phone supports at least 18W fast charging as HMD Global’s insistence to stick to 10W charging for a lot of its mid-range phones including the Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 series is bordering on ridiculous.

While it does come as a surprise that the Nokia 5.4 may be launching this year, we presume fans of the Nokia brand will rather see HMD Global launch new models for the series that are yet to get refreshed this year.
