Alongside its flagship Nokia 8.3 smartphone, HMD Global also debuts two new devices today. The Nokia 5.3 and Nokia 1.3 are official.

Nokia 5.3

First off, there’s the Nokia 5.3. This mid-range device is based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 665 processor and backs it up with up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The device also offers up USB-C, a huge 4,000 mAh battery which Nokia claims will last 2 days, a headphone jack, and there’s a Google Assistant button too!

The display on the 5.3 is a 6.55-inch, 720p+ panel at 20:9. Of course, it’s a 60Hz display. The Nokia 5.3 also includes a quad-camera array on the back. There’s a 13MP primary camera, 2MP macro camera, 5MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP depth sensor too. There’s an LED flash at the center of the circle too.

The Nokia 5.3 comes with a quad-camera, the latest Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 665 Mobile Platform and the signature two-day battery lifei. The AI-powered quad-camera helps capture the perfect shot no matter where you are, even in dim light, thanks to Night Mode. Wide-angle and macro lenses help you capture close-ups, or wide, scenic shots. And with its large 6.55” screen, the Nokia 5.3 helps make the most out of streaming your favourite shows and playing games all day long. The Nokia 5.3 has a durable yet stunning, Nordic-inspired design, comes with Android™ 10 and gives fans faster access to Google Assistant² via the dedicated button.

Nokia 5.3 will start at 189 Euros starting in April. The device will be available in Cyan, Sand, and Charcoal colors.

Nokia 1.3

The latest Android Go smartphone from Nokia is the Nokia 1.3. It features a 5.71-inch 720p+ display, the Qualcomm 215 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a (removable!) 3,000 mAh battery, and a microUSB port. That might not sound like much, but it should be plenty for Android 10 (Go Edition). Plus, the device is promised to get Android 11 (Go Edition) when it debuts! Of course, as is usually the case with Nokia devices, the 1.3 will also get Android 12 too.

The Nokia 1.3 delivers modern technology and the brand-new Android 10 (Go edition) OS, at a more accessible price point than ever before. Being among the first smartphones launching with Camera Go, as well as low-light AI image fusion technology, Gallery Go and a bright HD+ edge-to-edge screen, the Nokia 1.3 lets you truly see it all whether you’re indoors or in the bright outdoors. One of the first phones to launch with Android 10 (Go edition), the Nokia 1.3 benefits from more speed, more security and millions of apps to get your day going. Plus, you will stay up to date and benefit from an experience that just keeps getting better with a device that will be ready for Android 11 (Go edition).

Nokia 1.3 debuts in April globally starting at just 95 Euros. It will be available in Cyan, Sand, and Charcoal.
