About this deal

Resolution for each lens varies. The primary lens is 16MP, the ultra wide is 12MP, the macro lens is 2MP, while the depth sensor is 2MP too. But, by getting nearly all the basics right and offering the blissfully bloatware free Android One experience, it remains a solid choice for any buyer on the budget looking for a 5G phone. Overall, each mode is easy to navigate and glitch free. Panoramas look good although image processing isn't always on the money, while slow motion videos can be customised post capture by selecting the part of the timeline that you wish to be in slow motion. There is of course the front-facing 'selfie' camera, too, with f/2.0 lens. By default it's a 6MP resolution in 4:3 aspect ratio, although a 24MP option is available too, which presumably works on the same basis as the 64MP mode.

Roaming: using your home data plan to roam in Zone A is included in all of our Pay Monthly plans. For roaming in other destinations, charges will apply depending on which plan you are on. In its own right, the Nokia 8.3 5G is a solid phone - Nokia's most capable yet - and in the right hands it is possible to make decent photos and videos. But if the camera is a key concern, there are better options out there for the same money.

More serious image makers can also enjoy manual exposure control and RAW format in the Pro photo mode.

On the flip side, we'd avoid the macro lens altogether. It's extremely difficult to get a good picture with this lens - there are distortions, blur and the resolution is low. It is possible to focus very closely using the standard lens anyway, so that's your best bet for closeup pictures. The maximum resolution is for the standard 1.0x lens. The ultra-wide lens is nearer 12 megapixels (4608x2596 pixels) while the macro lens is a paltry 2 megapixels (1600x1200 pixels). That 64 megapixels is activated manually in the Pro photo mode only and creates huge images at 30.7x23.0in (9216x6912 pixels).Asides from that headline feature, the 8.3 5G offers exactly the sort of power we might expect at this price point; a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor and 6GB of RAM.

However, the display is crisp enough and surely its larger size makes watching videos and the like that much more enjoyable. We've used the phone in a variety of settings, including bright sunlight, and in general have found the 'PureDisplay' provides clear viewing. While not headline grabbing, that power under the hood is sufficient for just about any application that you can imagine with this phone. We didn't really experience any kind of lag, even in the camera app when applying effects such as the Portrait mode. (In fact, you see the blur effect in liveview.) By default, the phone is setup to have the volume control key work the camera shutter, though as always there is that shutter option on screen too. Whether holding the phone single-handed or firmly with both, the camera shutter action seems comfortable. There are 8 ISO settings available on the Nokia 8.3 5G. These crops demonstrate the image quality at each setting for both JPEG and RAW file formats.

If you have a Device Plan, this will not affect your monthly Device Plan: vodafone.co.uk/pricechanges The Nokia 8.3 5G is powered by a 4500mAh battery and features 18W fast charging. With every day use it offers solid stamina. Using it as my main work and personal phone I universally managed to eke out around two day’s use before having to reach for the charger. It certainly is worth using the Night mode in low contrast light, with the end results being a bit brighter. However, the overall quality of low light pictures is not quite to the same standard as those using the Night Sight mode of the Pixel 4a. Max brightness levels aren’t as good as you’ll find on some of the best Android phones, but they’re high enough to make sure the phone screen remains legible in everything but the brightest sunlight.
