What the Critics Are Saying...

T3

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.

- David Nield, T3
Expert Reviews

The Nokia 8.3 5G is a noteworthy nudge towards the premium end of the spectrum and another solid addition to Nokia’s 2020 smartphone lineup. With a large display, cracking suite of cameras, eye-catching design and 5G connectivity for less, it should serve you well enough.

- Nathan Spendelow, Expert Reviews
TechRadar

The Nokia 8.3 5G isn’t the most exciting phone you’ll read about this year, but with strong specs and a large screen there’s plenty here to appeal to those looking to upgrade to 5G with a handset that won’t break the bank. That said, a meager storage offering and an annoying Google Assistant button...

- James Peckham, TechRadar
Pocket-lint

The Nokia 8.3 5G feels like a good phone that's arrived at the wrong time. It's impressive as many similar phones are, with good design, a nice display and plenty of power. But it's let down by a price that's high and a camera system that's not great.

- Chris Hall, Pocket-lint
Tech Advisor

The Nokia 8.3 5G, though not perfect, offers something unique for mid-range buyers with an interest in videography. The all-day battery life, big display and stunning rear all help too!
