Nokia still has time to live up to rumors of new hardware launches before 2021 begins. The 5.4 is allegedly one of the devices in question, and, based on its name, may do so to succeed the 5.3. However, according to a new leak, it may not be a direct translation of that phone’s collection of hardware specs.
Earlier tips have indicated that this putative new x.4 smartphone would debut with a 6.39-inch display, much like the Nokia 3.4. A new one claims to confirm this detail – with the additional kicker that it may be an LCD HD+ panel.
It is also now asserted that the 5.4 will have a footprint very similar to the pre-exising budget device: 160.97 x 75.99 x 8.70 millimeters (mm), with a weight of 182 grams (g).
This latest report also claims that the 5.4 will run on the Snapdragon 662 SoC, whereas the 5.3 has the 665, a very similar 11nm processor that could be perceived as superior as all its 8 cores are clocked at 2.2GHz, whereas those of the 662 can start at 1.8GHz instead. Then again, this could make that chip more power-efficient.
That might be as well, as the 5.4 is now apparently destined for a 4000mAh battery. It might improve on the 5.3 in that it has 128GB of internal storage, yet may stick with 4GB of RAM whereas the older handset has 6GB options.
The Nokia 5.4 is also now said to have 48+5+2+2MP quad rear cameras, a 16MP selife camera, a rear-facing fingerprint sensor and (despite its peri-2021 status) Android 10 out of the box. However, its latest leak still does not include a concrete date for its introduction.
