The Nokia 5.4 has finally made its way to India, and while the phone isn’t likely to beat out recent flagships or premium mid-range phones, it does boast a good set of specs for its price point.

It offers a 6.39-inch 720p screen with a punch-hole setup and gets powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage that can be expanded up to 512 gigs with a micro-SD card. Keeping the lights on is a 4000mAh battery under the hood, but there's no fast-charging support available here. In the optics department, the Nokia 5.4 comes with a  Quad rear camera system – featuring zero shutter lag 60fps cinematic video recording. The setup includes a 48MP primary sensor, a 2 MP depth sensor, 5MP ulltra wide lens and a 2MP macro camera. Meanwhile, there's a 16MP selfie camera at the front.

We got sent this dark blue colour variant, which sports a glossy plastic rear panel that throws of nice patterns when you move the phone around in your hand. However, the rear pane is fingerprint city and attracts a lot of dust, so you may want to slap on the protective TPU case that comes in the box. Apart from that the phone seems to be fairly durable and doesn't feel too heavy in the hand. There's also a rear fingerprint scanner, dedicated Google Assistant button, and sizable chin with the Nokia logo on it. At the bottom, you get a USB type C charging port and a single spear, while the top part of the phone comes equipped with a good old fashioned headphone jack. The phone ships with Android 10, but HMD Global stated that it is Android 11 ready. It also comes with three years of security updates and two years of OS updates.
