Had a Nokia 7.1 for a few years now. Really nice phone, still very quick and the battery easily last 2 days (still). Cost £190 when new. Not sure why people pay more really.

Got my mother a Nokia 7.3 - it's a very good phone priced competitively, with a nearly pure Android experience and on time updates with Android one. Peace of mind!

The 5.3 is a great phone. The Pixel 4a has a better screen and better camera (kinda), but at $200 in the US it's a fantastic value for what you get.

How frequently do you get updates? My friends have gotten cheap Android phones in the past and updates were abysmal.

Nokia 5.3 is part of Android One, so security updates for 3 years are not a problem

so in Nokia-land, the major version is the "class" of phone, while the minor version is the date revision?

5.3 being newer than the 7.2, but down one class in "feature set"?

That is roughly correct, although the 6.X series exists for Nokia devices.
