That means only the camera and design... Why did they even rush the release? Its good sha, at least price of 5.3 will fall when the 5.4 enters market then I can buy the 5.3

That means you settle for second hand

MartinsD12:

I don't really care... 5.3 is decent for its price.

MartinsD12:

Is it the 3gb ram experiencing that lag?

2gb ram variant, but the 3gb also uses the same mediatek helio p22 processor which is not just for serious modern multitasking.

They're most likely trying to forget 2020 which was a year of sparse major releases for them and try to be the first to get new releases for 2021 same as Samsung and OnePlus with their S series and 9mini/9/9 pro respectively, a clean slate if I may say.

My guy you know da wae , slot currently sells the 5.3 6gb/64gb variant for #74(ish)k (information from their website).

Uzland:

Bro, don't you think charging your phone '...at any given opportunity' might pose some burden / stress to the battery?

Yes it's mostly likely possible, I'm considering changing charging strategy but I know how hard it is to charge if there's no light.

ToyBoyAaron:

I don't really care... 5.3 is decent for its price.

True, with the 6gb ram variant same price as Xiaomi redmi 9 4gb ram variant (#74k Vs #71k) but it loses in terms of screen resolution (720p Vs 1080p), battery (4000mAh Vs 5020mAh), charging speed (10watts Vs 18watts) but it comes which stock Android and a very good midrange processor with support for many apps and games (Snapdragon 665 Vs mediatek helio g80).

Well I guess that's why it's lagging though, am not saying 3gram won't lag even 6gb ram do lag a little but 2gb ram is not enough space

ToyBoyAaron:

Yes it might be when it's around 55k mehn, for 74k is over priced

Yeah, I saw it too. I bought mine from Jumia for 64,000

pat077:
does the 5.3 supports glo 4g

Am using GLO, it supports 4G- LTE

That's true, with me being a heavy user and android gestures enabled....

, nice steal bro.

MartinsD12:

Lol, wait until Nokia 5.4 enters market and joins forces with high exchange rate.

honsule:

6gb ram variant??

pat077:
are you on Android 9 or 10?

Android 9

gremp:

I don't think frequent charging poses any challenge to the battery. U can use power bank. But on a second thought like power bank affects the life cycle of ur battery, speaking from experience

gremp:

Yes o. That was what attract me to buy the phone

OK, bro.

Jumia's prices are usually cheaper than Slot's.

That's an outrageous price! You guys should learn to patronize Jumia, esp. in this Oga Bubu's regime

MOTIONTECH:
Android 9

mine was working fine on android 9 but after upgrading to android 10 the charging becomes very slow, even when I off the phone the charging is still very slow.

honsule:

Well, experiences vary. Contrary to your own experience, some people even advise charging with power bank, because its power voltage is stable, unlike the erratic voltage we get from Naija's electricity. This might also explain the reason why some people use surge protector / voltage regulator, or something, while charging.
I do believe frequent charging and re-charging of phones may eventually impact negatively on the battery life, even the manufacturers have something they call battery charging cycle. It's just that, owing to the epileptic power supply we have in Naija, we're tempted to always charge our phones at the slightest chance. We can't help it.

between the snapdragon 665 and helio g80, which is the better processor?

I know even pointek too but jumia I don't understand how that works

gremp:


Lol, wait until Nokia 5.4 enters market and joins forces with high exchange rate.

lol that phone good sha but money no be here and even if am going to spend 70k on a smartphone definitely not nokia 5.3, 70k should get one 128gb storage, 4gbram smartphone with a decent gaming processor, big battery with fast charge plus beautiful camera, nokia 5.3 seems to fall below the price benefits expectation values for money

gremp:


That's true, with me being a heavy user and android gestures enabled....

That is it

MartinsD12:

This is my first time of hearing about Pointek. What's it about Jumia that you don't understand? Or do you just prefer to buy from physical shops

Yes I prefer seeing my product before buying

chaii.....let me see if i can get a solution online.

Snapdragon chop is better, faster and more battery efficient.

Helio G80 has a faster GPU because it is a gaming chipset.
