2015년 초에 저는 Windows Phone 8.1이 탑재된 중저가 스마트폰인 Lumia 535를 구입했습니다. 그 이후로 약 한 달 전까지 장치에서 하드웨어 문제(일반적으로 좀 더 거칠게 처리할 때 무작위 재부팅 또는 종료)가 나타나기 시작할 때까지 충실하게 사용되었습니다. 저는 교체품을 찾기 시작했고 시적인 정의로 Nokia 5.3을 선택했습니다.
숫자가 너무 잘 맞네요. 그러나 경험이 있습니까? 기억하시겠지만 최근에 저는 Nokia 1.3을 사용해 보았는데, 탈착식이지만 그다지 좋지 않은 백커버 문제와 평범한 성능으로 인해 이상적이지 않은 시련이었습니다. 대략 60달러 상당의 하드웨어에 얼마나 많은 차이가 있습니까? 미화 160달러(등가)의 가격표에 사이버 먼데이 20% 할인을 더한 노키아 5.3은 결국 제 무릎을 꿇었습니다. 이제 무엇을 주는지 봅시다.
고려사항
왜 이 전화? 음, 내가 Lumia 후속 제품을 찾기 시작했을 때 요구 사항 목록은 상당히 짧았습니다. 기본 기능을 잘 수행하고 오디오 잭(매우 중요함)이 있으며 너무 빨리 사용되지 않는 간단하고 말도 안되는 장치입니다. 이것은 Android One 프로그램의 일부인 기기를 찾는 것을 의미했습니다. 즉, 최소 3년의 보안 업데이트를 의미하고 블로트웨어가 없는 바닐라 경험을 제공합니다.
하지만 한 가지 문제가 있었습니다. 이 후계 전화기는 제 남자다운 유인원 발이 아니라 여성의 손을 위한 것이었습니다. 무가토의 목소리로 읽어보세요. 큰 전화기, 지금 너무 핫합니다.
바닐라 범주에 맞고, 오디오 잭이 있고/있거나 큰 비용이 들지 않는 멋지고 작은 크기(화면 5인치 미만) 스마트폰을 찾는 것은 거의 불가능합니다. 믿거나 말거나 iPhone 12 mini와 iPhone SE도 살펴보았습니다. 왜냐하면 고객에 대한 Apple의 약속과 iPhone 6S를 비롯한 이전 기기에 여전히 운영 체제 업데이트를 제공한다는 사실을 정말 중요하게 생각하기 때문입니다. 그것은 내 책에서 밥 한두 번 가치가 있습니다. 그러나 본질적으로 보조 기본 장치가 될 가격은 엄청나게 비싸고 약 1 년 전에 Nokia 9를 선택하지 않고 Motorola One Zoom을 선택한 것과 같은 이유로 오디오 잭이 없습니다. 작은 차이, 큰 결정. 마지막으로 iOS는 Android보다 훨씬 더 제한적이며 Firefox에서 나만의 MP3 음악과 광고 차단을 좋아합니다. 좋은 휴대전화 환경을 위해서는 이러한 기능이 매우 중요하다고 생각합니다.
나는 계속 찾아보았고 다른 작은 전화기 몇 개를 찾았지만 모두 Nokia 5.3보다 2-3배 더 비쌌고, 대부분은 오디오 잭이 없었고, 대부분 구형 칩셋을 사용했거나 출시된 지 오래되었습니다. 모바일 장치에 관한 한 2017-2018년이 될 것입니다. 그런 다음 몇 가지 다른 합당한 경쟁자가 있었지만 저는 그들의 브랜딩에 관심이 없었습니다. 장치 자체는 꽤 괜찮은데도 너무 많은 블로트웨어로 운영 체제를 꾸미는 경향이 있는 공급업체였습니다.
그래서 저렴한 노키아 1.3에 대한 내 경험이 그다지 이상적이지 않았음에도 불구하고 나는 5.3을 선택했다. 최신 칩셋, 바닐라, 오디오, 좋은 가격, 거기에 더해 할인까지. 이제 검토가 시작됩니다.
사양
Nokia 5.3은 큰 장치입니다. 대각선으로 6.5인치로 지난 몇 년 동안 Dedoimedo에서 시도하고 테스트하고 검토한 대부분의 휴대폰보다 더 큽니다. 그러나 상대적으로 가볍고 육중한 느낌이 들지 않습니다. 화면 해상도는 720x1600 픽셀, 268ppi 밀도입니다. 전화기 내부에는 옥타 코어 프로세서(2.0GHz AKA Kryo 260 Gold에서 작동하는 4개의 코어와 1.8GHz AKA Kryo 260 Silver에서 작동하는 4개의 코어)가 있는 Qualcomm Snadragon SM665 칩셋이 있습니다. GPU는 하나의 Adreno 610입니다.
그런 다음 내 휴대폰에는 듀얼 SIM, 4GB RAM, 별도의 마이크로 SD 슬롯이 있는 64GB 내부 저장 장치가 있었고 뒷면에는 2MP 매크로 장치, 2MP 깊이 장치, 5MP를 포함한 모든 종류의 장점을 갖춘 쿼드 렌즈 카메라가 있었습니다. 초광각 렌즈, 마지막으로 13MP 표준(와이드) 렌즈입니다. 내부 보드에 납땜될 수 있는 처리와 결합하여 30FPS에서 4K 녹화를 허용해야 합니다. 나머지 센서 패키지에는 일반적인 Bluetooth 및 Wi-Fi, GPS, NFC 및 3.5mm 오디오 잭이 포함되어 있습니다. 그리고 이 모든 것을 구동하기 위해 4000mAh의 대용량 비탈착식 배터리가 있습니다.
처음 120분 - 운영 체제 작동
계정 설정은 간단했지만 시스템 업데이트가 있었기 때문에 무려 1.6GB를 다운로드하는 데 시간이 걸렸습니다. 이 작업이 비교적 빠르고 상당히 성공적으로 완료되면 계속해서 전화기를 구성할 수 있었습니다.
저는 Moto G6와 One Zoom 리뷰에서 그리고 자세한 Android 개인정보 보호 가이드에 설명된 대로 이미 여러 번 보여 드렸습니다. 오늘의 첫 번째 작업은 모든 설정을 살펴보고 시스템이 내 편의에 맞게 구성되었는지 확인하는 것입니다. 항상 그렇듯이 두 개의 Android 기기가 동일하지 않으며 최신 버전(예:Nokia 1.3 및 One Zoom)을 실행하더라도 설정, 메뉴 옵션 및 기능에는 여전히 차이가 있었습니다.
간단히 말해서 다음과 같이 했습니다.
- 다양한 애플리케이션에 대한 권한을 줄였습니다.
- 대부분의 애플리케이션에서 링크 열기를 비활성화했습니다.
- 필요하지 않은 다양한 애플리케이션을 비활성화했습니다.
- 불필요한 센서(Bluetooth, NFC), 사용 액세스 및 데이터 액세스를 비활성화합니다.
- Disabled various other ad-related and usage-related services and options, like the Experience Program, or Gboard usage (a tutorial coming soon). To be fair, Google has made this set of tasks easier lately. There's more transparency, and the controls are more accessible and more intuitive.
- Disabled the Assistant, including the dedicated phone button. This was a bit annoying, as there seem to be three or four different cyclic paths that lead you to the same set of controls, but always with tiny variations.
- Disabled any on-device sharing, any link scanning, previews or such.
- Disabled account activity, Photo and Camera suggestions and "extra" features.
- Disabled voice features and minimized personalization (if not outright disabled all of it).
- Restored the normal three-button menu instead of the silly gesture navigation.
- Installed Firefox + UBlock Origin for sane browsing.
Notice the swipe navigation button - that goes away shortly.
You do need to be thorough, because suggestions come in various forms. For example, the Home screen has its own, Camera has its own, Photos has its own, there's news, there's maps and localization, and of course, the Assistant, so you have to be patient, thorough and methodical. But it can be done, you have the options, and with every iteration, it's becoming easier.
All of these bits and pieces go to off very soon. Default assist app =None.
Web pages &app, searches in your area, nope.
Then, setting up the account, contact sync - stuff like that - went more smoothly than before. Another little plus for Android. So far, this has been the least intrusive and the most cooperative Android phone setup I've done, and it has nothing to do with my exposure and experience, it's got everything do with improved system functionality. Whether it's a result of benevolent intentions or strict EU legislation, it doesn't matter, I care about the end result as a consumer. So, good.
Annoyances
There were a few odd problems and some outright low-IQ shenanigans. While configuring the system and tweaking application permissions, I noticed that one of the apps showed some of the text in a wrong language, i.e. not my selected one, which is always US English for computer interfaces. This seems to be an unusual problem, and already reported months ago. No solush. Yet.
Someone didn't translate things correctly it seems.
And then more and more tweaking still, normal navigation, more options that need to be toggled off:
Normal navigation, and what is this "At a glance" thing? Also, 3-button nav =less finger tapping wastage.
Chat stuff is also annoying - you get the "new" rich messages, but you can toggle these off and use the application for what it's meant to do - SMS, if anyone still uses those (why not, but hey). What I found particularly jarring is the "smart reply" thing. I toggled it off completely, but I still saw an overlay for Whatsapp notifications showing with these corny one-word, one-liner replies. Might need more investigation, but all in all, yet another feature that takes away from human interaction and turns it into botty nonsense.
Even Google tells you web link previews could be harmful, so why have them to begin with?
The Calendar app on Nokia 5.3 is meh. It feels very crayony, with overbright, childish colors and not really that useful information. Similarly, you cannot set reminders without using the Assistant. This seems to be a gentle, not-so-gentle shove-push to make people use the Assistant. 아니요. Why do I need Assistant for what is essentially a single-tone alarm? Nonsense. Weather app, also crayony. Plus, less readable. Plus, the vast emptiness in between the top and bottom parts - showing Tomorrow and Next-days forecast would have been a far more sensible option. Plus you don't see what the selected location is. Plus, why do I need 'Search places or the web' in a weather app? And why the inconsistent search field text?
No Assistant, no reminders! And the outgoing Lumia 535 had such a simple reminder feature ...
Apps, media, performance
The usual deal, nothing unpredictable here, as far as it comes to Play Store and its repetoire of stuff. Good and easy access. And you even get a prompt to try non-default browsers on first launch. So I installed Firefox, of course, and it works majestically. Fast and elegant, it has also improved quite some since my review, and you get important, valuable privacy-focused add-ons like UBlock Origin. Makes the low-IQ Internet slightly less low-IQ.
I played some music and videos - it was all good. The sound is reasonable - a bit bassy, echoey, but definitely not tinny like it was on Nokia 1.3. I was also able to play HD clips without issues. The same one that completely stuttered on Nokia 1.3 worked just fine at full resolution here. The system does things instantly. Great responsiveness, fluid graphics. Very nice, I like.
Firefox plays minimized video, screen locked, all of it.
Camera
Seems like a very decent sensor, price notwithstanding. Just to get a sense of what gives, I did a little comparison to my One Zoom. Nothing scientific, not a product competition. I've done this quite a few times in the past, with my Lumia 950, the various Motorola G phones, and so forth.
First attempt above, outdoor shot with good lighting and lot of detail. Nokia left, One Zoom right. Nokia comes with the cooler (and expected) Nokia color tones. The camera also focused on the sticking out branch, whereas One Zoom selected a more center distance focal point, hence the branches in the back look sharper, and there's better foreground and shadow separation. I'm trying to sound smart in this paragraph.
Second attempt, similar conditions. I think the big difference is what happens off the center of the camera. One Zoom does detail a bit more accurately. Notice the branch texture. Even so, I am quite impressed with the Nokia's camera. It looks and feels vibrant, the image detail is pretty decent, and you do get a sense of depth.
Lastly, I did an indoor shot - decent light. Here, you get a really good sense of the color spectrum. One Zoom is truer to reality, and you can clearly see the difference in detail/separation if you look at the rods and the knobs at the end. That said, I'm really pleased with what Nokia 5.3 can do.
I also liked the zoom/blur capability. You can really take "macro" photos, and the camera manages to keep focus, even when you bring your phone really close to your object of interest. Typically, most phones lose focus and blur when you bring the device to within 7-8 cm of the object, but with the Nokia 5.3, it was down to 2-3 cm and still managing really well. You can go proper artistique. Me impressed.
Battery life
This took a while measuring, naturally. Remember, my usage pattern is completely different from the Average Joe. And tuning the system for peace and quiet definitely helps. For instance, on my One Zoom, I go 8-9 days between charges - I typically charge at about 15% mark, and use the phone for roughly 2-3 hours in that period (mostly media).
With massive 4000 mAh - identical to One Zoom - you can go days and days without recharging. I first let the phone be for a few days without any major activity. It ate only 25% of the juice in four days. This means, technically, phone's battery + my own pacified/tweaked configuration, you can go more than two weeks in a single charge. 존경. Now, if you do start using the phone, the numbers change a little, but they are still tremendous.
Comparison to Nokia 1.3?
There isn't one really. Because Nokia 5.3 is sooo much better. It's a proper phone, fast, elegant, with a premium feel, excellent performance and responsiveness, and a decent camera. This can't be said of its sibling, which cuts corners perhaps too sharply. So there might be a lower limit for what consistutes a useful practical smartphone, but then, with not that much more money, you can do a proper quantum leap into the highly usable territory. Nokia 5.3 definitely does that.
결론
Ever since I got my first Nokia, I think way back in 2000, it's been my rule to have at least one Nokia phone in my usage. With the retirement of Lumia 535, Windows Phone is no longer an active operating system in me household, joining Lumias 520 and 950 on my nostalgia shelf. But Nokia is still there - the old Symbian, full-keyboard-and-touch, dual-Wireless E6 still works fine, including two weeks between charges on its original battery, dating back to 2011. Now, Nokia 5.3 joins the fold.
Overall, Nokia 5.3 is a surprisingly refined device. It feels posh in your hand, it looks the part, the screen is pleasant enough to gaze at, the hardware and software deliver a very reasonable performance - beyond my expectations, and Android has achieved yet another level of refinement. While Windows Phone will always be my favorite touch operating system, Android has improved significantly, and continuously, and while there are many negative things to be said about various Google's endeavors, you cannot fault the work they've done on the mobile.
Then, the camera is decent, the battery life is excellent, and the price is oh-so good. I mean, this really is a bargain. I am quite pleased. If you need a phone that's more than just a utilitarian brick but doesn't require a kidney donation to finance, and you're okay with average-plus results across most categories with some really excellent results here and there, Nokia 5.3 can be a really smart choice. Noice. 그리고 끝났습니다.
건배.
