Guidance on choosing between nRF52/nRF54 for display-based battery-powered products

Hi Nordic team,

I hope you’re doing well.

I’m new to embedded development and I’m currently exploring the nRF52 and nRF54 series for a future product line. My idea is to develop small battery-powered devices with a couple of sensors, a display, and wireless connectivity, so I wanted to ask for your expert opinion before I go too far in the wrong direction.

In particular, I wanted to ask whether there is any specific version of the nRF52 or nRF54 series that you would especially recommend for handling a display in a more integrated or convenient way.

I also wanted to ask about power management. If I’m designing a device with a microcontroller, a few sensors, a display, and a battery, does it usually make sense to include an nPM power-management chip from the beginning, or is that more useful only in more specific or demanding cases?

Since the idea is to eventually build a family of products, I’d like to start with the right architecture and avoid making poor early decisions.

Thank you very much in advance. I’d really appreciate your guidance and expert opinion.

Best regards,
