Nokia 5.4 is available for purchase in India starting today. In essence, the Nokia 5.4 is a typical upper budget-segment device from the company, offering a clean Android experience and a decent amount of power under the hood. Starting at Rs 13,999 for the base variant with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage and going up to Rs 15,499 for the model with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, the Nokia 5.4 represents the company's latest bet for this crucial price segment.
However, before it can be called a success, the Nokia 5.4 will have to fend off competition from a number of rivals that already populate the market. One of these is the Poco M3. The phone is among the most popular smartphones in the price bracket, offering comparable specs to the Nokia 5.4, albeit at a more affordable price point.
