Nokia 5.3 レビュー - 驚くほど洗練された楽しいスマートフォン

2015 年の初めに、Windows Phone 8.1 を搭載した低価格のスマートフォン、Lumia 535 を 1 台購入しました。それ以来、デバイスがハードウェアの問題を示し始めた約 1 か月前まで、忠実に機能してきました。私は代替品を探し始めましたが、詩的な正義をもって、Nokia 5.3 を選びました。

数字はとてもよく一致します。しかし、経験はありますか？最近、思い出していただけると思いますが、私は Nokia 1.3 を試しましたが、これは理想的とは言えない試練でした。では、約 60 ドル相当のハードウェアの違いはどれくらいでしょうか? 160 米ドル (相当) の値札と 20% のサイバー マンデー ディスカウントで、Nokia 5.3 は私の膝の上に収まりました。それでは何が得られるか見てみましょう。

考慮事項

なぜこの電話？さて、私が Lumia の後継機を探し始めたとき、ニーズのリストはかなり短いものでした。基本的な機能を備え、オーディオ ジャック (非常に重要) があり、すぐに廃止されることのない、シンプルで実用的なデバイスです。これは、Android One プログラムの一部であるデバイスを探すことを意味しました。つまり、3 年間のセキュリティ アップデート (少なくとも) を意味します。

しかし、1 つの問題がありました... この後継の電話は女性の手に向けられたものでした - 私の男らしい類人猿の足ではありません - どうやら、BIG 電話は今大流行しています。これをムガートの声で読んでください:大きな電話、今とても暑い.

通常のカテゴリに適合し、オーディオ ジャックがあり、かつ/または大金がかからない、小型 (5 インチ未満の画面) の優れたスマートフォンを見つけることはほとんど不可能です。信じられないかもしれませんが、私は iPhone 12 mini と iPhone SE についても調べました。Apple の顧客への取り組みと、iPhone 6S を含む古いデバイスにオペレーティング システムのアップデートをまだ提供しているという事実を高く評価しているからです。それは私の本のボブの価値があります。しかし、本質的に二次的な基本的なデバイスの価格は法外なものであり、オーディオジャックはありません.Nokia 9を選択せず​​、約1年前にMotorola One Zoomを選択したのと同じ理由です.小さな違い、大きな決断。大事なことを言い忘れましたが、iOS は Android よりもはるかに制限が厳しく、私は自分の MP3 曲と Firefox での広告ブロックを気に入っています。これらは、優れた電話体験にとって非常に重要です。

私は探し続けて、他のいくつかの小型の電話を見つけましたが、それらはすべてNokia 5.3の2〜3倍の費用がかかり、多くはオーディオジャックがなく、ほとんどが古いチップセットを使用しているか、ずっと前に市場にリリースされていました-モバイルデバイスに関する限り、それは 2017 年から 2018 年です。それから、他にも妥当な候補がいくつかありましたが、私は彼らのブランディングに熱心ではありませんでした.デバイス自体はまったく問題なくても、あまりにも多くのブロートウェアでオペレーティング システムを装飾する傾向があるベンダー.

そのため、el-cheapo Nokia 1.3 での経験は理想的とは言えませんでしたが、5.3 を選びました。最新のチップセット、バニラ、オーディオ、お得な価格、さらに割引。さぁ、レビューが始まります。

仕様

Nokia 5.3 は大きなデバイスです。対角線は 6.5 インチで、過去数年間に Dedoimedo で試してテストし、レビューしたほとんどの携帯電話よりも大きくなっています。とはいえ、比較的軽く、重厚感はありません。画面解像度は 720x1600 ピクセル、密度 268ppi です。電話の内部には、オクタコアプロセッサを搭載したQualcomm Snadragon SM665チップセットが搭載されています.2.0 GHz AKA Kryo 260 Goldでクロックされる4つのコアと、1.8 GHz AKA Kryo 260 Silverでクロックされる4つのコアです. GPU は 1 つの Adreno 610 です。

次に、私の携帯電話には、デュアル SIM、4GB RAM、別のマイクロ SD スロットを備えた 64GB の内部ストレージ、および背面にクアッドレンズ カメラがあり、2MP マクロ ユニット、2MP 深度ユニット、5MP など、あらゆる種類の機能が搭載されていました。超広角レンズ、そして最後に13MP標準（広角）レンズ。これらは、内部のボードにはんだ付けされた処理と相まって、30 FPS での 4K 録画を可能にするはずです。残りのセンサー パッケージには、通常の Bluetooth と Wi-Fi、GPS、NFC、および 3.5 mm オーディオ ジャックが含まれていました。そして、すべてに電力を供給するために、取り外し不可能な 4000 mAh の巨大なバッテリーがあります。

最初の 120 分 - オペレーティング システムを動作させる

アカウントのセットアップは簡単でしたが、システム アップデートがあり、1.6 GB もの大きなダウンロードがあったため、しばらく時間がかかりました。これが比較的迅速かつ適切に完了すると、電話の設定を続行することができました。

これについては、Moto G6 と One Zoom の両方のレビューで、また詳細な Android プライバシー ガイドで概説したように、すでに何度か紹介しました。その日の最初のタスクは、すべての設定を確認し、システムが自分の都合に合わせて構成されていることを確認することです。いつものように、同じ Android デバイスは 2 つとありません。Nokia 1.3 や One Zoom などの最新バージョンを実行していても、セットアップ、メニュー オプション、機能に違いがありました。

一言で言えば、私は次のことを行いました:

• さまざまなアプリケーションの権限の量を減らしました。
• ほとんどのアプリケーションでリンクを開く機能を無効にしました。
• さまざまな不要なアプリケーションを無効にしました。
• 不要なセンサー (Bluetooth、NFC)、使用アクセス、データ アクセスを無効にしました。
• 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.いいえ。 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. Respect. 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.

結論

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. And we're done.

乾杯。
