Is a Nokia 5.3 good enough for Android development?

I have a Nokia 5.3 which I bought in 2020 which never got used for its intended purpose. I've just pulled it out of my draw and I'm curious if it is good enough to use as an Android development phone for testing etc.

I use Android emulators mostly then try it on a device or two. I have a Nexus 6(Android 7.2) and a Pixel 4(Android 13), both normally work fine so the Nokia should as its much newer than a Nexus 6.

Thank you. I'll have a play around with it.
