Nokia 8.3 5G Long Term Review | 3 Months Later

[@abcun17]

Excellent review. I’ve had my eyes on this phone as an upgrade for a while now. With the steep price drop now and the deals to be had, it’s a really good buy. The specs, the design, the stock Android experience (Android One is a big selling point to me, no useless bloatware) the built quality and all the other features make it a pretty compelling device. I’m sure there are always other options, but all in all this one seems like the best all around choice. Besides, every other competing device will have its pluses and minuses as well, just like the Nokia 8.3.

[@MrAgostinho501]

Had mine for a Year now Always had Nokia phones only !! Charging port failure, battery conection short circuits are comon .. they service It setting It to factory default within warranty but i read that someone had this same problema again. Phone stopped charging Always used Nokia cable Good care of phone No Sketchy software instaled ir phone tinkering whatsoever

[@abcun17]

@@MrAgostinho501 That may be your experience. In roughly the same time span, I didn’t experience any of those issues. I found it to be a steady, reliable, practical device that pretty much fulfilled all of my daily needs and uses as a consumer. On the other hand I have friends that bought much more expensive flagship devices from a variety of other brands, who have had both hardware and software issues and problems. As I’ve said we all have different experiences with our individual units. No maker, brand or device at any price point, entry/budget, midrange or flagship will ever be one hundred percent issue free or outright perfect.

[@tzarkizitski9344]

I got mine shortly after I saw your initial review. It was on sale on Amazon for around $720 AU from the RRP of $899 AU. Got the 512GB Samsung micro SD card for another $100 or so and am just loving it. I now just can't wait to see the next version of this phone. Go Nokia!...

[@AbdullaZaki]

Glad you're enjoying it :) I think the phone was very underappreciated when it first came out because it didn't have a single killer feature, but its a great phone because it has no major weaknesses.

[@ANINDYA-001]

I think this 8.3 will be more successful if Nokia launches a mini version of it. It's easier to handle a 6.3 inches screen than a bigger one in practical life.

[@AbdullaZaki]

I think the upcoming 7/6 series will be a slightly smaller version of the 8.3

Many Thanks, most of us remember when Nokia was the Messi of mobiles!! From what I read for some reason in 2008/2009 they decided to go with Windows instead of Android, I feel in hindsight if they had gone with Android back then they would be as big if not bigger than Samsung! Peace From London. 🙏🙏🙏

[@AbdullaZaki]

You're welcome :) Yes you're exactly right, and even though their Windows phones were actually very good, people were looking for the apps and Android had a much better ecosystem of apps due to popularity. I still hope that one day the brand will be that big again because competition is good for us consumers!

Similar experience happened to me... I bought Nokia Lumia 930 . Initially I didn't liked the ui other things and all but eventually it became my most favourite phone I had ever . And similar happened when I bought Nokia 8.1 . Sometimes you have to give some time. Nokia 8.3 is a steal deal for 700 dollars. Great video Abdulla.. keep it up.

[@BorealSine]

Own it since last Friday, found a good deal on Amazon and bought it from their warehouse. Amazing phone, insanely big screen, its such a pleassure to read/watch smth on it. It has very strong connectivity, antenna quality is great, I can be in a no reach zone for previous phone but still be able to make calls/browse the web on this one. Battery lasted from Sunday to Thursday, previously owned iPHone 7/8, i bougth both of them used for less than i paid for nokia and they had terrible connectivity, I had no service in many places, battery only lasted a day or less with everything turned off to save it, screen was too small. I've also liked a wide angle camera on nokia, quality is good enough for me.. And the last think i forgot to mention is 5G, I reached 190mbps in some areas, its next gen level phone i must say. Android 11 is very similar to iOS, its very simple, feels light and so far I've had 0 lag. Gaming performance is great, tried pubg/vice city/max payne, all maxed out - high fps, no dips. Pleassure to game on it, previously didn't game on a phone due to small screen, was too difficult and not enjoyable on 4.7 inch.

I think the best way to describe the 8.3 is that its better than the sum of its parts.

[@roswellgrays]

İt is really a beautiful phone and deserves a price under 400 Dollar. But as much as I know very less people purchased this phone in the world. Do you think that the HMD's sale and marketing department is very insufficent for selling Nokia phones? This phones launched in March in 2020, it has been almost 1 year. And not available in many countries.

[@AbdullaZaki]

They are definitely not doing their products any favour with their marketing. I think they released it in limited markets for a reason, as they aren't confident in it selling well in many places because of the original price.

Thanks for your professional review abdullah, i'd like to know if the battery Performance dropped after 3 months of use due to your intensive usage generally, bad quality of the battery or the use of 5G network in case of availability ?? I'd like to inform that battery Performance and life time is a main factor for me so appreciate your feedback for me before buying this phone noting that I'm never playing any game on the phone also I still don't have 5G Network in my country.

[@AbdullaZaki]

Hi Ahmed, Its a combination of more intensive usage (I'm using hotspot for around 3 hours every day) and 5G being more widely available. Its hard to know about the quality of the battery but that hasn't been an issue with many of the other Nokia's I've used. I would say if you only have 4G and don't use hotspot (which makes the device get warm which affects the life of the battery in general) you should be easily getting at least one day of usage on this phone.

It doesn't have a built in screen recorder so you'll have to rely on the play store... Regarding battery, if you're just using WiFi you'll get 1 and a half days out of it on average, if youre relying on 5G it will just last until the end of the day. Happy to help!

[@muhammednihalnoushad7881]

Hi Mr. Abdullah.. Ik am too late for this video.. But if you can resolve my doubt.. It would be useful.. So my only worries about this great phone is: not having 120/90 hz amoled screen, not having snapdragon 800+ (will it decrease the performance) and at last.. About the high weight and thickness of the phone (which is so heavy) A reply for these 3 doubt would be nice😊

[@AbdullaZaki]

I wouldn't worry about the LCD display on this. Its a very nice one with punchy colors. Not as saturated as an OLED but very nice. If you're not coming from a higher refresh rate device, you won't care. If you are, it will be a step back. The processor handles almost all tasks with ease. Unless you play very heavy duty games on maximum graphical settings, you will notice much of a difference. The weight and thickness is definitely not for everyone, but every time I personally upgraded to a bigger device, I got used to it within about a week or so of usage. The weight also makes the device feel quite expensive. But if you heavily rely on using the phone one handed, then you'll have to readjust your usage.

Hi, nice vlog. Sorry to appear ignorant, but what is a launcher and why should I use it? Thanks 😎

[@AbdullaZaki]

Hi, thanks! A launcher is an installable new "Skin" that replaces your stock homescreen and apps drawer experience, and can be customized with different fonts, icon shapes, layouts, and so on. You don't have to use it but it gives you a nice way to customize how your phone looks. I personally use the microsoft launcher with the meeye icon pack. Nova launcher is another pretty popular choice for a lot of people.

[@JulesTravels-On]

Thanks. Do you have a link for the Microsoft launcher? The speaker has stopped working on my Nokia 8. Is it worth getting repaired? Any recommendations for who to use? Planning to get an 8.3 3G as replacement if necessary. 🤪

well, actually Nokia wanted to make sure there were no bug in the software. Nokia could have launched an update sooner, but Android 11 was for some reason still very buggy a few months after release date on a few devices. And yes, The update came around the same time as Samsung's one

[@AbdullaZaki]

Hi Tomas, Yes, but for me personally I would rather wait and get a stable update than get the update early and deal with many bugs. The update on the 8.3 so far seems quite solid, but the improvements are so small.

[@alex.anders]

@@AbdullaZaki in fact I have had a few issues: apps randomly closing itself(kinda like the camera bug but I've never had that before), and also the fact that there is now only one way to make a screenshot: by swiping up to apps and then selecting the tab to make a screenshot of, which is very annoying, U can only make a screenshot of one app and not of the home screen or Ur messages, idk it's a bit limiting freedom in my eyes👀. I have also a feeling more RAM is occupied by Android 11 in comparison to 10 and the on/off switch is not optimally. But: good things: home screen smoothness when swiping up and down, u don't screenshot the upper layer of your phone with message icons, and you can put more of an order in the messages you receive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a loyal Nokia Fan I have had enough with the brand, HMD's strategy is not Pro-Fans, no flagship in a year+!! I unfortunately had to make the switch, picked up OP 8 Pro...

Yeah I have been patiently waiting for Nokia 6 or 7 series midrange offerings....but Hmd doesn't seem to care...they will be soon loosing die hard fans like us

[@AbdullaZaki]

Hi Fahmi, I understand your frustration as I'm also in the same boat. I've been happy with the Nokia 8.3 though but its definitely not flagship in every aspect. I think HMD realizes that its hard to compete against flagships when you don't have the same marketing and R&D budget, so they want to focus on midrange phones. I still hope we see a flagship from them sometime soon.

Since the android 11 update or from before? You might have turned the notification sounds off. Go to settings > apps and notifications > messages and check from there that default notifications settings is enabled.
