Get yourself a 5G phone today and you’ll

struggle to pick up a signal in places

as exotic as Ipswich, Skegness and

Aberystwyth. But before too long, when

coverage reaches the far corners of the

world, the last thing you’ll want is a phone

that only fully works in one place. So Nokia’s

globetrotting 8.3 uses a Snapdragon 765G

processor, which has the 5G modem built

in, meaning it’ll happily hook up to 5G

networks around the world.

Powered by Android 10, this 6.81in slab

of Finnish finesse is carved from a single

block of aluminium, with up to 128GB of

built-in storage (expandable via microSD),

a 4500mAh battery, and scratch-proof

Gorilla Glass covering its HDR display and

24MP punch-hole camera.

Round the back you get one of Nokia’s

Zeiss-made PureView camera systems,

with a 64MP main snapper, 12MP

ultra-wide and 2MP macro, plus a 2MP

depth sensor. Throw in a new action

camera mode, plus the ability to select

different colour profiles when shooting

4K video, and you should have the perfect

companion for your next round-the-world

trip. Whenever that might be.

As hot as... Saffron, the finest curry house

in Skegness

There’s an edge-to-edge

FHD+ screen, but you’ll still

have to use your fingerprint

to unlock the 8.3 5G. The

sensor’s on the side,

integrated into the

power button.

If you’re feeling retro, the 8.

5G comes with a headphone

port for your faithful old cans

but has a new-fashioned

USB-C port for charging.

The best of both

worlds.
