DON'T Buy Nokia 8.3 5G Just Yet - Unboxing and Review

[@EricOkafor]

#NotificationSquad🏆 Android 11 Update has been pushed yaaay! Link to the GCAM version I used - bit.ly/GCAM7_4

[@selormselorm]

The GCAM on my Samsung Note 9 goes black in selfie mode. But the reverse camera mode works fine. Any solutions?

Hello Eric please I run a podcast and I'd like to make it into a youtube channel, what mid range android device do you advice I buy to help me start out shooting great quality videos b4 I get a better one as time progresses

[@StoryWellTold]

Love your video.. Do you think it's still a good phone to buy in 2024 or is there any better?? Just wanted to upgrade my 6.1 due to space issues

[@PPSRHD]

Idk why they stopped selling the great 7.1 and 8.1 series, here in India (idk if they sell it overseas) those were bloody terrific phones.

[@djezio258]

Great review, Mr. Okafor. However, like many people said: this phone is big, the cameras are good, the performance is great, but it's unfairly overpriced 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@Saabafton]

It's kinda sad that the 8.3 only got Android 12 as the last update. It is a "flagship" phone because of how fast it is so it should have gotten at least 3 or 4 years of android updates and 5 years of security updates.

[@kreativekb8761]

Love the audio and video quality 👌 will be great for Vlogging and all! Dope reviews as always 🙌🙌💯

[@calstein]

Hello! @Eric Okafor. Thank you for this review. Do you think it's worth buying now at 164k? I'm looking for a good mid-range phone to buy. Camera quality and speed are the most important factors for me. Please share your thoughts, thank you.

[@BracketReviews]

Beautiful... I feel like getting one. Thank you, Boss.

[@BracketReviews]

@The Goa Lad What prize?!

[@abcun17]

Excellent advice! There are a few great deals for the 8.3 right now, but I'm concerned that if I buy it I'll get stuck with phone that is past it's prime. So at this point, if let's say anybody is wanting to upgrade from the 7.1...is it still better to wait for later on in the year when potentially the 7.3/7.4 or the 8.4 may be announced released? What do you think of the Nokia X20 as an upgrade for the Nokia 7.1?

[@adedotunajibade]

Don't buy X20. I'm still considering 8.3 in 2022.

[@jezzza2079]

Good review! There's a sale on this phone at the moment for $350 AUD so would you say it'd be a good idea to pick it up?

[@wlo7868]

I just did ahhaha from JB

[@EricOkafor]

I would not buy it for $350 now because the Poco F3 is a much better choice. Unless you absolutely love Stock Android.

[@jezzza2079]

@@EricOkafor the poco f3 is like $200 more expensive tho. In case you didn't notice, I'm talking about Australian dollars. The 8.3 deal is equivalent to around $250 in unites states dollars, so again, is it worth it?

[@EricOkafor]

@@jezzza2079 Oh wow. In that case, it is totally worth it! 👌🏽

[@ALLUK633]

nice review,,, should i buy nokia 8.3 (250 pounds) or oneplus 8.. thank you

[@EricOkafor]

If size doesn't matter at all to you, get the Oneplus 8

[@petrisalonen4893]

Great review! The price should probably go down soon in Africa too. It was 599 euros here in Finland for too long. Now it's 399 e (64gb) and 449 euros (128 gb version). OZO audio and cinema mode is the best beats Sony hands down.

[@petrisalonen4893]

Now in late April 2021 it's even cheaper. 299 € for 64gb version and 349 € for 128gb.

[@EricOkafor]

The price is definitely getting competitive 👌🏾

[@valorreviews]

Good Brutal review. I love the cameras but the price of this device is .... 😭😭😭

[@gagliardivex9218]

Plus it has an unnecessarily huge chin. They should have kept that logo only on the back

[@JulesTravels-On]

Hi, very helpful. If I'm not a gamer or need very pro photos or videos would I notice a great difference between 6 or 8 GB ram other than a dual SIM card? Many thanks

[@MuzeInspiration]

Hello Eric, I got the Redmi note 9s, but I am not really enjoying the experience, dark mode seem to not be working properly with most of the apps, it even affects pictures I design with white backgrounds, I forgot to mention the camera, it has a hard time focusing and the camera quality is poor, even using gcam. So I'm considering selling it and buying an iphone 8 plus/ iphone x . What do you advise?

[@EricOkafor]

Android $200 midrange phones will never win in a competition with $300 iPhones. You can install on GCAM on the Redmi Note 9S camera and see if you like the feel of that in the mean time. Link is on my pinned comment.

[@TheJaHa5]

Love that jab you threw at Samsung there... LOL! Been using the Nokia 7 Plus for 2.5 years now, and looking to upgrade soon. Looked at this one as a suitable prospect, but you're absolutely right about the price; the Google Pixel 4A 5G, which has an OLED screen, and has the very same chipset is still much cheaper than this! 🤣 I also love the default camera/GCAM comparison, and, there's something about that app that I just find hard to leave..

Thanks for the wonderful review Eric. I found out it now costs N199,990 at Jumia. Do you think it's worth it? Or do you have a better option for the same range of price (and I don't like finger print on screen. Not ideal for a frequent driver like myself)? I want to invest in a good phone but I don't want to regret later. God bless.

[@EricOkafor]

@@sahkhareflexy1449 there's Poco F3 that retails for less. I don't see a reason to pay that high for the Nokia 8.3 5G. Gcam is supplementary, not a replacement for high end cameras especially coz gcam crashes occasionally.

Good review! Viewer from Germany here, I'm still a bit miffed that it will only get updates til 2022. The X20 will be supported longer but comes at a lower initial price (which is roughly the same as what the 8.3 costs now), so I assume it probably isn't as good...
