Nokia’s first 5G phone was announced back
in March following MWC’s cancellation. However, it wasn’t clear when Nokia
would begin selling the new handset. It was initially reported that Nokia would
launch the 8.3 5G in the UK and other parts of Europe sometime in July.
The Nokia 8.3 5G was listed on Amazon’s
German website, which could suggest the phone is headed to European markets in
the near future. The Nokia 8.3 has its marketing graphics listed, but the phone
isn’t yet available for sale. Perhaps we could expect an earlier launch than
originally anticipated. The Nokia 8.3 5G will go for € 600 in most European
markets and will retail for £ 500 in the UK.
The phone’s top features include a
6.81-inch LCD screen with a punch hole 24MP selfie camera. The main quad-camera
setup consists of a 64MP main camera with Zeiss lens hardware, a 12MP
ultrawide, and 2MP sensors, each for macro shots and depth sensing.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon
765G chipset with support for 5G networks. There’s 6GB or 8GB of RAM along with
either 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage. There’s an integrated fingerprint scanner
in the power key and comes with Android 10 out of the box.
