The Nokia 8.3 5G is a future-proof global 5G smartphone, featuring ZEISS cinematic effects and a PureView quad camera imaging solution. Like all Nokia Phones, the Nokia 8.3 5G is built with precision and crafted with care. It is rooted in pristine Nordic design, and it truly represents a generational step forward in material exploration.

We took inspiration from the way light moves dynamically across surfaces, which gives us a material richness that we call living colour. The Nokia 8.3 5G’s rear cover is created with a metallization technology, featuring a signature light refraction pattern that lets colours blend to resemble the Northern Lights. We’ve called that Polar Night.

The phone’s camera housing is high precision machined from pure aluminium with tempered scratchproof glass to produce the iconic dual anodized Nokia camera detail. The frame is made from a die cast aluminium inner chassis and polymer composite exterior. It gives the phone an integral stiffness and reliability ensuring all components are held with perfect integrity.

Its refined 3D sculptured Gorilla Glass back is heat moulded at high temperatures to get the perfect 3D shape that’s scratch-proof, comfortable to hold and fits perfectly onto the frame.

The Nokia 8.3 5G is only 8.99 mm thin, and it combines the power button and fingerprint sensor for a smoother and more seamless way to access the phone. Also, its epic 6.81’’ screen with PureDisplay technology, powered by the Pixelworks visual processor, takes visuals to a new level.

The Nokia 8.3 5G is a device for those who want to be truly connected. Supporting a range of NR bands, the Nokia 8.3 5G isn’t only ready for the current 5G networks, but it is also future-proofed for the networks to come. With its PureView quad camera imaging solution and ZEISS Cinema capture and editor, it is great for those who want to unleash their inner content creator.

Key features:

  • Unlimited content creation capabilities:
    • The first Nokia smartphone to premiere ZEISS Cinema capture and editor app, the Nokia 8.3 5G lets users make every video epic and shoot like a pro
    • Users can master night shots with the super pixel powered wide-angle sensor in Night video mode
    • Thanks to the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G mobile platform, the new Nokia 8.3 5G features advanced Video HDR. Just as in photos, this allows you to capture a high dynamic range and see the details in the highlight and dark areas
    • The UHD 4K resolution holds nothing back, even in the most adrenaline-fuelled videos, and can of course be shared in a flash through the 5G network
    • Coming with a PureView quad camera with ZEISS Optics, the Nokia 8.3 5G has a 64 MP camera to capture it all

  • Futureproof with 5G: The Snapdragon ™ 765G 5G Modular Platform with the Snapdragon X52 5G Modem-RF System is optimised for 5G, meaning Nokia 8.3 5G will always be ready for what’s next. Supporting the largest number of 5G New Radio bands yet, the Nokia 8.3 5G is truly a future-proof globally connected smartphone. Users can stay ahead of the game with the fast, reliable connectivity of 5G and play games without distractions, stream films and share content

  • The best of Android: Nokia 8.3 5G is powered by Android 10 and ready for Android 11 and beyond. This means that this device will just keep getting better, with a guaranteed two years of operating system upgrades and three years of monthly security updates, along with a suite of Google apps that users love
