I am now renabling this device as a second device for my work. My main phone is a Poco X3 pro, but I don't want to mix business with personal life.
This phone still does a great job. I threw a 64GB SD card on it, installed Niagara and called it a day. It is so light, guys in the palm perfectly and the feel of the metal is light years better than any of the glass phones I had (I rather plastic to glass, but metal is the best).

Great phones have two but both allow moisture in to burn the screen where the volume rocker switch is located such a shame
Other phone Nokia 6.3 has developed the same problem.
Everything else works great.
Not so sure about Nokia quality now unfortunately 3 phones with the same problem at the same place !

GPS is not working, GPS test app does not find any satellites. Factory reset does not fix it.

Clay Naing, 07 Oct 2021It's nice phone for emergency use when my nokia 8 is d... morehow do you use SD card as external storage and move apps to SD, please guide.
I used SD as Internal Storage but it is not a very clever thing to do as i learned when i reset my phone, whole 64 GB of SD card data got lost as after Phone Reset when i inserted SD card, it asked to Format first to USE it again. means all data is lost.
Now, i want to know how you can use SD card as a Storage only (not like internal storage, which i did) ?
and also able to move Apps to SD card /
Thank you.

It's nice phone for emergency use when my nokia 8 is damaged seriously.....
Now I can upgrade my internal Storage 16GB to 48GB (+32gb)
It works fine and I can move apps to SD card storage.
SD card perform even faster than internal storage. (100MB/s)
Next time, I'll buy nokia 5.3 for emergency use.

Been using this phone since the winter of 2017 and as of recent it finally started to show signs that it's outdated and old. The battery started draining really easily, I have terrible connectivity issues via Wi-Fi and 3G, it became slow and laggy, constantly running out of storage space and because of that I can only have a few apps installed... Time for an upgrade, it was a good phone while it lasted. RIP

Bought mine in 2017 and as at June 2021 I've changed two screens, it still works well, downside is Android takes a lot of the 16gb memory and expanding that with SD card seems to cause more hiccups! Handles asphalt 8 (3.2gb) well though.

Used this phone as a tablet for 3 years, (600+ apps) it's rock solid, Glass has pulled away from a side slightly. Audio book sound is amazing but never used as a phone as such. Camera is rubbish as usual! Taken a lot of abuse because case is ultra slippery but glass is very very strong!

Terrible, buggy phone. When the battery gets to 0%, it gets stuck there and sometimes takes like a week to start charging, USB connection doesn't work (I've tried 3 different computers, different cables and even operating systems) and the phone starts freezing every 15 seconds when I install apps like Messenger on it - not the apps but the whole system. Also the updates made the camera quality much much worse than when it was new and the microphone quality when recording a video is also absolutely horrendous. The vibrations and headphone jack output also got noticeably worse after some update (all of these issues started around the May 2019 update). Nokia/HMD screwed this phone really hard, probably to make people buy newer phones.

This phone is still going strong with me. Still an ideal phone for some lightweight surfing, banking, smarthome and messaging apps. Battery too is still great with 2 days with my usage. Best smartphone choice ever.
Only downside is that the Nokia letters of the back are "falling" off.
