About this deal

For Laptops / Tablets: lets you select a monthly Device Plan Credit Agreement (3-48 months) with a 24 month Data Plan. You can pay off your Device Plan early, and if you do, you can then keep your Data Plan on a 30-day contract or leave. If your Data Plan ends for any reason, you will need to keep on paying your monthly Device Plan (either in full or monthly) The Nokia 8.3 5G’s screen is generally good, outside of one key omission – it doesn’t have a high refresh rate screen. Lens flare and ghosting is an issue when shooting directly towards the sun. Unless you like the distortion, it's probably best not to point the camera straight towards strong light. Night time photography tells a similar story. Though it is possible to take usable snaps in low light, if you have steady hands, motion blur creeps in with even the slightest movement. Noise is also prone to creeping in and generally you won’t get the same quality shot as you would using a Pixel 5.

Resolution for each lens varies. The primary lens is 16MP, the ultra wide is 12MP, the macro lens is 2MP, while the depth sensor is 2MP too. It certainly is worth using the Night mode in low contrast light, with the end results being a bit brighter. However, the overall quality of low light pictures is not quite to the same standard as those using the Night Sight mode of the Pixel 4a. Like its rivals, the Nokia places its power and volume controls on the phone’s right hand side. The positioning is intended to lie where a right handed person’s thumb would naturally fall, but for left handed people it’s an outright pain. This is especially true if you want to use the power buttons inbuilt fingerprint scanner. In its favour, the standard and ultra-wide lenses used in good light are capable of making punchy yet natural pictures with good tones and sharp detail from centre to edges. That ultra-wide angle lens comes in handy more often than you might expect.Asides from that headline feature, the 8.3 5G offers exactly the sort of power we might expect at this price point; a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor and 6GB of RAM. We’ve used 5G on the device in a couple of scenarios, and we found it to work well. We haven’t been able to properly put the 5G connectivity through its paces, but if you’re excited about the next-gen connectivity standard you should be well catered for by this phone.

The 64 megapixel high-res images are clearly sharper when viewed side by side at the same size than the standard 16 megapixels resolution. In Pro photo mode, shutter speed can be manually selected up to a maximum of 20 seconds, while ISO goes up to 6400. If you can support the phone using a tripod, then this manual control over shutter speed might well be the best option for low light shooting. Now we've covered the general function of the phone, let's get down to what you are really here for - the camera. In addition to those various lenses, it is possible to pinch the screen to employ digital zoom, up to 10x.

The new Cinema mode shoots 4K 24fps videos up to 60Mbps with full manual exposure control, plus it offers the H-Log picture profile designed to maximise the dynamic range of the camera. Lovely stuff. The Nokia 8.3 5G hits a lot of the features Nokia phones are known for: good value, a decent camera, and a clean software experience. If you want to get involved with 5G but want to spend as little money as possible, then this is a phone worth looking at. Nokia has maximised the viewing experience with an edge to edge display, save for a slight bezel at the bottom featuring the Nokia logo, while the front camera punctuates the display in the top left. All of this said, it’s difficult to get too excited about the Nokia 8.3 5G. There are other options for your next phone that offer similar features for less money, such as the OnePlus Nord or the Google Pixel 4a.
