Hi guys, I've got the 8.3 5g and according to Qualcomms website the phone has the aptx adaptive bluetooth codec. However when i go into the developer settings i can only access aptx all others are greyed out, the earbuds i use are the B&O Beoplay EQ which are aptx adaptive compatible. Has anyone else come across this problem?

First they need a brand ambassador pull and secondly they need to focus on build quality, privacy policies, competitive price tag and above everything else ease of purchase and availability. Mind you of all Chinese brands, it's very hard to find their basic phone variant. They only focus on availability of their elite phone variant.

And the criticisms on this matter you explain nice but softly ( maybe you noticed me that I usualy do this very aggressive and in rage). To me Nokia 8.3 is the best phone that released by HMD since 2017. İt is still the best of Nokia altough it has been 2 years it relased. But unfortunetly after Nokia X71 and Nokia 8 Sİrocco this is the most underrated model. İt definetly deserve more than this. Lastly I should say that it is not only related to pandemic at the same time this is ineptitute of HMD heads and its marketing team. I always say that Nokia Mobile must be live under a bigger capital with a skilled team.. not with HMD

I want this device but not available in India

Thanks for giving the Nokia 8.3 5G another look even all these months later! It is probably one of the most underrated devices of the past few years. It is not perfect but it is solid all around. Besides even now, in terms of specs and even hardware it still holds out quite well against many newer models. Over the last few years any advances in features, specs, hardware and software have been minimal. While I like all the Nokia devices, the XR-20 is probably the only other device I'd have chosen as an upgrade. And I'm coming from the Nokia 7.1 which is probably my favourite smartphone of the past decade...it was almost perfection...LOL. But the 8.3 5G is just as elegant! What Nokia Mobile could do to rectify the mistakes they've made with this device, they could add Android 13 as an update. The device has more than enough capacity to handle a third OS update beyond Android 12. 👍👍

@@AbdullaZaki I've had it for about six months now, bought it for a good deal, and it has been a great experience so far. I've seen that a lot of people complain about the size of Nokia phones getting bigger. Honestly after having had the Nokia 8.3 and using the large 6.81 inches screen (only the G50 is slightly larger), I don't think I could go back to anything smaller than a device with a 6.4 or 6.5 inch screen. Plus I like the weight and heft and how it feels in the hand. By comparison I was looking at the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro and their insanely expensive prices...and honestly with the exception of a few bells and whistles here and there when it comes to the specs or the software (because it runs Android 12) most of which are just gimmicks...it it isn't that much better than the 8.3 in quite a lot of ways. Nevermind that the Pixel 6 has had issues with the in-display fingerprint scanner, it has no face unlock, no phone jack, no Micro SD slot or Dual SIM option and the much praised cameras don't seem that much more advanced than what I already have on my phone now. Same for the iPhone 13. Of course those are new devices and have a clear competitive edge. Just on brand recognition alone. If, as I've said before, HMD Global decides to add Android 13 to the Nokia 8.3 5G (I understand they have no incentive to do so), it will make it even more attractive, even all this time after its announcement and actual release.

Love my 8.3 5G, wasn't even aware of the phone or marketing but when I saw a half price offer earlier this year I decided to upgrade from my previous 3/32GB 7.1 which was an ok mid range phone but this is a big step up.

Hello. I bought the Nokia 8.3 about a year ago and I love the Nokia design build. I always have. The weight and the look of the phone is magnificent. The only thing I don't like about the backing is how easy it slips through my fingers. For me its impossible to grip so I have the plastic cover they provide in the box. Which is a let down because the phone looks beautiful with the way it shimmers in the light. Overall the performance is perfect, I love the camera and I really think I spent my money well as I got exactly what I wanted from a phone without paying extortionate prices. Money I saved on a phone, I used to upgrade my laptop.

I wonder if Nokia could reuse the fantastic Nokia smart cam app that had been realesed in Nokia Lumia 925 . It had all the features back in 2013 that Google admires her self and her tensor after 8 years in 2021 like magic eraser, action shot, the extremely horrible motion blur and amazing night mode .

I have this phone and i couldnt be happier

In my opinion, processor is not the only basis for a phone. It could be a starting point since we look into how powerful a device is, but we also have to consider other features like the build and etc. When I got the Nokia 6.1 last 2018, it was really expensive. Then compared to other phones on the same processor, I realized it's the aluminum body that made it expensive. I really loved the design. Same goes for the Nokia 7 Plus when it first got released. It was too expensive. I got it on a bargain at around half price a year after release, and it's also the same with the build and etc, which makes it more expensive. Phone expensive? Yes. But I can use it until now, unlike other cheaper phones that don't last long. The only problem I encountered with my phone lately is the battery, which I had replaced at an official service center. Looking forward to more years with my Nokia 7 Plus! It's going to be three years this coming March.

Nokia devices, atleast the 6, 7, and 8 series ones have had amazing build quality. The 6.1+ I had before felt way nicer than the Pixel 4a I use now, that was until I pressed the power button. The software was riddled with bugs, Needing to restart the phone after every 5 pictures to use the camera, weird scaling bugs and general instability. Also the fact that HMD didn't put any effort into making the software feel anything more than barebones android. Motorola is a good example of other OEMs can implement stuff google does with Pixels.

The device is officially not available in many markets like Canada. You can only get for third party sellers that too at a higher cost.

Measuring a phone by it's processor is but a fraction of the pie. The whole device needs to be seen and measured. For me it is Camera, Processor, RAM, external memory and display. I am not to worried with long term software support but it is a nice bonus.

Love my nokia 8.3 5g from the absolute screen to the 5g and the camera Quality is so amazing. Only problem i keep having is with Snapchat bugging from time to time and it disabling the camera for a bit.(normally needed to restart the phone, but now only the app) also on the lock screen i cant use the flash light due to snapchat notifications or something. Got my phone somewhere around June or july, because i dropped my nokia 7 plus at a friends house to say nokia strong. It landed on those uneven pebble mixed bricks. And broke the glass.

I mean the chargers that they're bundling us came from Lumia, digging from its model number while richgo already made chargers beyond that for them but still adhere PD and QC standard Current hmd ODM made devices that can negiotiate voltage better from what I'm seeing in 5.4 charging behavior, so that already covers charging algorithm and way better than Foxconn which my Nokia 5 always overheat when charging with connectivity turned on.

what is the difference between this "8.3" and the "8v 5g uw"? a friend of mine is selling his 8v 5g uw for 200dollars,,,and the phone is completely fresh...i want to know the long term usability of nokia phones...because i cant afford another within 1.5 years....

Thank you, Abdullah

Watching on my Nokia 7 Plus... Still a champ...😍

I have the Nokia 8.3 wallpaper in my oneplus 8t since I bought it and never changed it. The 8.3 is the best Nokia phone it's just been unappreciated

I like Nokia's devices. They are timeless and relevant in the time we are living in,where the top of the smartphones business are changing their products every six months.

I am living with NOKIA 8.3 5G on it's 3rd year full time and it stills running like a newer modern mobile than the latest brand models 👎 . The Nokia 8.3 is a stabil smartphone and it shows from time to time new surprising functions 👍 Good job Nokia 👏

This phone was supposed to be my next phone whenever I get rid of my 8.1. But it's out of my reach & my 8.1 is still as smooth as it was 2 yrs back when I purchased even after 2 OS Updates.😁😁

Same here I bought my 8.1 2019 sep I still works. I replaced screen thrice build quality is awesome I feel like buying 8.3 now because replaced screen does not offer good viewing experience. I am waiting for pixel 6a if not 8.3 looks attractive

Hello Abdullah My Nokia 7.2 is updated to Android 11, then I see the features called 5G NR Mode, So Does It Mean It's Capable Using 5G Network?

@AbdullaZaki

Unfortunately 5G is an option only available on certain chipsets (and additional bands every OEM needs to physically add to the phone). The SD660 on the 7.2 doesn't support 5G

I haven't used the 8.3 with A12, but I would recommend reporting the problem from the my device app. If it works with dual cam then it's a software bug...

I was eyeing that phone when it launched, but it wasn't available in my country. But, there was a company that'll bring it down, and when I saw the price, declined. The OnePlus Nord was a tough competitor, and also the Google Pixel 4A 5G, since they all ran the very same chipset. I do hope Nokia releases something just as good as the Nokia 8.3 5G, but og course, with some enhanced features. Even a refresh of this phone will be nice, not forgetting a lower price!

@AbdullaZaki

It was expensive, but just in terms of 5G bands (not relevant to many countries yet) and build quality, this was leagues ahead of the Pixel 4A 5G and Nord. But these are aspects that deserve a lot more attention from a marketing point of view.

What a timing of this video I just ordered this phone yesterday . Is is worth to buy in 2021 ? Got in 1400 aed.....

It's a Legend!!

I think that HMD got lost amidst the problems faced, pandemic, shortage of chips, problems in production and delays, were many problems for a small company still in formation to solve. As they were spending more than they were profiting, they had to reduce costs and focus on few markets, thereby failing to gain market share in other countries. Perhaps if they focused on just three models: entry-level, premium-intermediate and a premium-top, it would have been more advantageous. But I hope that somehow HMD makes a comeback despite the circumstances in the market today, because if it continues with bad decisions we will see another end of a dream of Nokia to stay in the market. I love my Nokia 8.3 and X20 , I'm a fan of the brand and I won't trade it for another.

I'm using the 8.3 and everything is good except the camera software my portrait mode dose not work at all meaning all I get is a black screen but I have seen reports that some peoples camera dose not work at all

Kinda late but what is your opinion on the Nokia 9 not receiving anymore updates and the more crucial point of them offering a discount as a "compensation"?

@AbdullaZaki

2 жыл бұрын

It's a bad situation for the consumers and not a good compensation in my opinion. But the 9 PV is a special case because of its complicated camera set and their partner who created the camera setup, light, leaving the phone business. Unfortunate, but hopefully they would've learned from their mistake

So this is why I've been seeing a lot of late reviews with the 8.3 these daays. Especially when it comes to camera comparing it either to a Samsung Gaalax S21 or iPhone 12/13.

You know only two things that annoy me: 1) the airplane mode keeps switching on when you are on the phone. (Phone to ear touch?) 2) The size is both advantage and disadvantage as there's no pocket quite deep enough and always drops out!

I am still considering buying this phone unlocked in US. Is this better option than the XR 20 5 G that has Android 11?

Good question. This is a more premium device, but the XR20 is more focused on durability, has water resistance, drop proof, wireless charging, and will get updates till Android 14 while the 8.3 will only get up to Android 12. Very different devices.

Pls make vdo on nokia T20 tablet long term review...

Nokia just needs to get 4 things right in their every phone 1. Higher refresh rate display 2. Fast charging support and fast charger bundled up in midrange and lower midrange devices 3. Remove that hideous chin with Nokia brand 4. Fast UFS storage These missing points are a big let down right now as the experience of using the phone becomes janky without these important things
