For those who wondering what Reels is? Well, it’s Instagram’s new video surface that gives anyone the ability to create short form, edited videos. It’s being used by people across the country, many of whom have become creators with a national following, to entertain their audience.
“Creators inspire us with how they push culture forward, creating trends that become mainstream. This is happening with Reels in India and for this reason, we’re betting big on it. Reels was born out of the idea that there’s a creator in each of us, and we’re excited to see the Indian community across genres, and big and small cities use it. This campaign, timed during IPL, which is a sporting and cultural moment, is meant to entertain, inspire and invite everyone in India to come together and ‘Do Your Thing’,” said Ajit Mohan, Managing Director and Vice President, Facebook India.
According to Instagram, “ Now, the consumer campaign takes this further, by saluting the creator in everyone. Through a series of 15-second ads, the campaign showcases all of the AR, music and editing features that allow creators to bring alive their imagination. It is designed to give the audience a flavour of the kind of entertaining content, and the variety of interests they can explore, like dance, comedy, music, fashion, food, and a whole lot more.”
Instagram has further stated that the creatives have been created in collaboration with Ogilvy. Stating that everyone is a creator in today’s time, Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India, said, “Instagram is a platform that encourages creative expression and has always given everyday people a voice. With Reels, Instagram is democratizing creativity, and we’re trying to communicate this with the new campaign. The creatives are short, fun, surprising and very entertaining. They’ve been shot as Reels, and the storyline is inspired by the content from popular creators.”
The first set of ads went on air on October 18th during the IPL and will include 4 films. Instagram further added that content from IPL 2020 is appearing prominently on Reels, be it from the teams, players or fans, showing practice sessions and fun moments.

The Software tech giant Google has removed the Trusted Contacts app from the Google Play store as well as from Apple’s App Store. The withdrawn app was introduced in the year 2016 and was useful for those who wanted a keep track of their loved one’s device activity as well as location status with selected contacts. In addition to this, the company will also pull down its support for the app starting December 1. While pulling the app from the App Store and Play store the tech giant said, “Over three years ago, we launched the Trusted Contacts app as a way to help people stay up-to-date with their loved ones’ whereabouts. Since then, we’ve built this functionality directly into Google Maps with Location Sharing – making it even easier to share your live location with trusted friends and family. As a result, the Trusted Contacts app will be removed from the App Store and Play Store today and will stop being supported after December 1, 2020. If the app is installed on your device, you can continue to use it until then. If you have created trusted contacts, you can download them from the trusted contacts page until December 1, 2020. After that date, the Trusted Contact app will no longer work and your trusted contacts will be unable to see the live location you are sharing with them from the app.”As compared to Google Maps, Trusted Contacts is helpful at sharing the exact location of your kids or loved ones with the people added to the contacts when in case of emergency. While on the other hand Google Maps only shares real-time location but for this, you have to go for the constant tracking of your location being shared with other people also instead of some of the trusted contacts on your list. The company’s move to pull off the app is because it does not have a large user base and its popularity. And those who are already a user of the app have to find an alternative as the company is also ending support for the Trusted contacts starting December 1st.The Trusted Contacts app allows you to add people to whom you want to share your whereabouts. When in crisis or emergency the friends or family members can get your status to know if you are safe and in response, you can share your location to help them reach you on time or else you can deny the request. When you do not respond within five minutes the app will automatically send your current location to the contact and if you go offline your last location will be shared.To recall the app made a replacement for Google Latitude and Google+ Location Sharing that were also scrapped by the tech giant.

India’s smartphone budget market is dominated by Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo. In front of these giants, where does the Nokia 5.3 stands? Let’s find out in our extensive review.Before we begin allow us to give you a rough guide on what the smartphone brings. The Nokia 5.3 device is a budget Android smartphone manufactured by HMD Global. It is a part of Android One programme and its price starts at Rs 13,999 in India. Here you will get a clean Android experience with up to two years of Android version updates and three years of security updates. The mobile comprises of a quad rear camera set up and an LCD display with a notch to house a selfie camera. So, to know, let’s find out how well does the smartphone perform and what else it has to offer to compete with other bands in the mid-range segment.
In This Article
Design and Display
Starting with the design, we got the Charcoal colour variant to tinker with but as your liking, you can also go for Cyan or Sand colour options. Nokia 5.3 has a matte finish and to bring down the cost, the company has used this finish over the polycarbonate body, which also feels less bulky in the hand, does not attract smudges and is sturdy too. On the back, it has a circular module to house four cameras positioned around an LED Flash in the centre. Just below the camera set up, you have a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, which is well placed and is quick to unlock the smartphone. However, it has another option as face unlock, which also works pretty well, too. The 3.5mm headphone jack is placed right on top of the phone. While down at the bottom it has a USB Type-C port for charging and two down-firing speakers grills as well.Speaking of the audio, the speakers are loud but cracks a bit as soon as you go for higher audio volume. The dual sim and microSD card slots are given at the left side of the phone and just below it, there is a dedicated Google Assistant button, which is a handy feature to have on this phone. One can also disable it from the settings menu in case you feel it is disturbing. On the right-hand side, Nokia 5.3 has a volume key button and a power button that doubles up as a LED notification light, We found this to be a very useful feature on the smartphone and it definitely draws your eyes to see it when you get a notification.The overall design of the phone is simple and has a very minimalistic yet modern look. Moving on, the font of the Nokia 5.3 has a 6.55-inch HD+ (720×1,600 pixels) IPS LCD display with 20:9 aspect ratio along with a dewdrop notch on the top of the screen. The Side bezels are slim however it has a noticeable chin. If it was reduced a bit more we would have found it more appealing.We got a bit uncomfortable knowing that Nokia 5.3 only includes an HD+panel but the IPS LCD display does its job well. Yes, it is not as sharp as the OLED panels but we did not see any pixelation while browsing the web or streaming videos on it. The brightness of the display is good enough to be used under direct sunlight. Moreover, colours on the phone looked quite natural, but as we said earlier it stands nowhere when compared with an OLED display as it lacks the contrast. Its dimensions are 164.3×76.6×8.5mm making the smartphone perfect in size – it isn’t too wide and not too tall, just the right fit for our hands.
Performance and Camera
Nokia 5.3 walks in with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC, paired with 4GB or 6GB LPDDR4x RAM. In terms of storing content, the phone comes in a single 64GB storage option that is expandable via microSD card to up to 512GB. Gaming is not going to be a breeze on this smartphone as it is slightly dated chipset. The phone gets a bit drawn out during high paced gaming but no lag will be noticed while you play Call off duty even on very high frame rate and graphics. We have to mention that the phone heats up during long gaming hours. But hey, Nokia has not made it for the game hungry, but for the regular everyday power user. The USP of this phone is the Stock Android experience, which is clean and is free of any bloatware. Compared to Xiaomi’s custom skin with bloatware and ads, the Nokia 5.3 is a breath of fresh air. We just love the look of a clean stock Android OS that sets it apart from Samsung and Xiaomi phones. This smartphone is one of the very few phones, which is a part of Android One programme and guarantees two years of software updates and three years of security updates as well. Browsing social media and performing everyday tasks on the phone is buttery smooth. Sometimes we did notice that the app took a tad bit time to load, but nothing that can be taken as negative in this segment.In terms of the cameras on Nokia 5.3, it features a quad-camera setup at the back of the phone. This includes a 13-megapixel primary lens, a 5-megapixel secondary ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and another 2-megapixel macro lens. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel selfie camera.Frankly speaking, we found that the cameras on the phone are average. In bright light, you would be able to capture decent (normal as well as ultra-wide-angle) images. Some images show low dynamic range and contrast when shot with a wider field of view. The portrait images on the other hand are slightly better. The subject seems vibrant, edge detection is better and the bokeh effect is good as well.Also, Nokia 5.3 has a dedicated night mode that will enhance the image quality, however, it took too long to click and process images in this mode. So we recommend you either keep your hand steady for a bit or use the flash with the night shot. We got mixed results from the macro sensor. While some shots were really putting off, some were outstanding. Coming to the front camera the 8-megapixel selfie sensor is, however, good but it seems to lack vibrancy in the images. As far as portrait images are concerned the edge detection isn’t perfect and the selfies lacked sharpness as well as vividness.As for the videos, there is no stabilisation on (both) the rear as well as the front camera sensors. As a final point, the cameras on the Nokia 5.3 are average and if cameras are your priority, Then you might want to check Redmi or Galaxy M series.In terms of the battery, the phone is backed by a 4,000mAH battery. It delivers a good all-day battery life. But it needs to be put on charge before you go to sleep for the next day. The device is shipped with a 10W charger, which manages to charge it to 30 per cent in an hour and to completely charge, it took more than two and a half hours so you cannot expect fast charging on this phone.
Verdict
If you are on a tight budget and are looking for a non-Chinese phone, which is good at multitasking, has a decent battery life and Stock Android experience then you can go for the Nokia 5.3. For gaming and great cameras, you might need to check out other options. ProsLong battery lifeLooks pretty goodDecent displayConsAverage camerasShould have included better chipsetLacks fast charging

Speaking of the audio, the speakers are loud but cracks a bit as soon as you go for higher audio volume. The dual sim and microSD card slots are given at the left side of the phone and just below it, there is a dedicated Google Assistant button, which is a handy feature to have on this phone. One can also disable it from the settings menu in case you feel it is disturbing. On the right-hand side, Nokia 5.3 has a volume key button and a power button that doubles up as a LED notification light, We found this to be a very useful feature on the smartphone and it definitely draws your eyes to see it when you get a notification.
The overall design of the phone is simple and has a very minimalistic yet modern look. Moving on, the font of the Nokia 5.3 has a 6.55-inch HD+ (720×1,600 pixels) IPS LCD display with 20:9 aspect ratio along with a dewdrop notch on the top of the screen. The Side bezels are slim however it has a noticeable chin. If it was reduced a bit more we would have found it more appealing.
We got a bit uncomfortable knowing that Nokia 5.3 only includes an HD+panel but the IPS LCD display does its job well. Yes, it is not as sharp as the OLED panels but we did not see any pixelation while browsing the web or streaming videos on it. The brightness of the display is good enough to be used under direct sunlight. Moreover, colours on the phone looked quite natural, but as we said earlier it stands nowhere when compared with an OLED display as it lacks the contrast. Its dimensions are 164.3×76.6×8.5mm making the smartphone perfect in size – it isn’t too wide and not too tall, just the right fit for our hands.
The USP of this phone is the Stock Android experience, which is clean and is free of any bloatware. Compared to Xiaomi’s custom skin with bloatware and ads, the Nokia 5.3 is a breath of fresh air. We just love the look of a clean stock Android OS that sets it apart from Samsung and Xiaomi phones. This smartphone is one of the very few phones, which is a part of Android One programme and guarantees two years of software updates and three years of security updates as well. Browsing social media and performing everyday tasks on the phone is buttery smooth. Sometimes we did notice that the app took a tad bit time to load, but nothing that can be taken as negative in this segment.
In terms of the cameras on Nokia 5.3, it features a quad-camera setup at the back of the phone. This includes a 13-megapixel primary lens, a 5-megapixel secondary ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and another 2-megapixel macro lens. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel selfie camera.
Frankly speaking, we found that the cameras on the phone are average. In bright light, you would be able to capture decent (normal as well as ultra-wide-angle) images. Some images show low dynamic range and contrast when shot with a wider field of view. The portrait images on the other hand are slightly better. The subject seems vibrant, edge detection is better and the bokeh effect is good as well.
Also, Nokia 5.3 has a dedicated night mode that will enhance the image quality, however, it took too long to click and process images in this mode. So we recommend you either keep your hand steady for a bit or use the flash with the night shot. We got mixed results from the macro sensor. While some shots were really putting off, some were outstanding.
Coming to the front camera the 8-megapixel selfie sensor is, however, good but it seems to lack vibrancy in the images. As far as portrait images are concerned the edge detection isn’t perfect and the selfies lacked sharpness as well as vividness.
As for the videos, there is no stabilisation on (both) the rear as well as the front camera sensors. As a final point, the cameras on the Nokia 5.3 are average and if cameras are your priority, Then you might want to check Redmi or Galaxy M series.
In terms of the battery, the phone is backed by a 4,000mAH battery. It delivers a good all-day battery life. But it needs to be put on charge before you go to sleep for the next day. The device is shipped with a 10W charger, which manages to charge it to 30 per cent in an hour and to completely charge, it took more than two and a half hours so you cannot expect fast charging on this phone.
