Kofi sly, 10 Apr 2021To solve the proximity sensor just uninstall the call app update on playstore.problem solvedI am too getting the same issue and really getting frustrated now. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled couple of times but its not resolved. I see many people are complaining about the same issue on this model. Wondering why Nokia is not working on a fix/patch for this issue.

I got also april patch hope to get android 11 soon but on 10 it's really smooth so not hoping too soon android 11 it must be smooth like android 10 so they need fine tuning android 11 for grear experience. Now Nokia 5.3 experience on android 10 is excellent I love it affordable yet quality and durability. Keep it up Nokia thumbs up.

Hi, 08 May 2021Android one device but still on February security patch and Android 10. HahahaYes I agree, I had been using Nokia phones from 2017 and none of the models I used had issues with timely updates.

Nokia 5.3 is an exception that HMD didn't even release a statement regarding the delays, which is sad.

Jaboo, 17 Apr 2021so, after about a week and a half of use, I've also encountered the proximity call issue ... moreIt's a feature not a bug. Detects when an object is near to the phone. Most commonly used to sense when a phone is held up to the users ear to turn off the display. This saves both battery life and prevents accidental screen touches.

Bought this phone in June of last year. Right away I noticed that GPS quality is awful...a few months later the battery died and a guarantee center from Hungary just returned my phone as it is.
I was a user of Nokia for the last 19 years, and I am so much disappointed with this phone and their customer service that this would be the last one.
Goodbye!

Got this phone around 2 weeks. Perform good to me, and reminded me the nostalgic of nokia brand.
- Android one is good, less bloatware and more storage avaible than Xiaomi phone that I have.
- I can play COD Mobile, Black Desert Mobile and Mobile Legends smoothly.
- For daily use on weekday, from 8am to 5pm will leave the battery around 60%-50% (with standar usage like messaging and browsing).
- Camera quality is inconsistent, sometimes I can take a good picture, sometimes not.
- LED notification on power button, I like it, but hard to notice because the position on the side phone

Using it from 3 weeks now. Very powerful and simple device. Got used to big screen as it is slim and has matt finish at back. The design is very nice and sturdy. Installed Lawnchair and customized a little bit. It looks perfect now. Waiting for android 11 update. Preferred it over chinese phones for stock android and build quality.

so, after about a week and a half of use, I've also encountered the proximity call issue whereby screen goes black when you are talking with someone. However, I have to ask, is this really a bug or a feature? I'm asking this coz if you put the phone away from your head, the display is back up even when the call is still active. Doesn't it kinda makes sense to disable the display when you are talking with someone since you don't really need it and also it helps prevent accidental pressing by your ear or face?

muhib shah, 19 Mar 2021yes it does have proximity sensor problem i am suffering from it since last 5 months when i ma... moreTotally agree with you, this phone has soooo many problems from contacts disappearing, flicking and randomly opening apps and Netflix freezing when watching a film. It's a real shame because the phone feels like it's a more expensive handset. I will never buy Nokia again.

Oh and also, the facial recognition unlock is actually good. It's my 1st time using a facial recognition phone so I have no prior experience but if you're in a room or area that's not too dark, it actually works really well.

So I got this phone today. Main reason I got it was coz of the price ($180) and for the VoLTE support. So far no issues yet. I was expecting it to have the proximity call issue as stated by other owners in the previous comments but I haven't seen such an issue yet. I'm not planning on doing any gaming on it (I'm not much of a mobile gamer, I game mainly on PC and PS4) and the main reason I got it is mainly for standard app usage like what's app, telegram, and trading apps. My previous phone was a 2012 Samsung S5301 which lagged a lot and sometimes couldn't even run other apps so this feels like a huge upgrade. I know there are other better phones out there but this is a pretty decent phone for its price.
