The Quad-Camera The Nokia 8.3 features a brilliant quad-lens main-camera (with ZEISS optics) array including; a super detailed 64MP main lens, 12MP ultra-wide, 2MP depth and another 2MP Macro lens. All of these aspects combine to make a truly formidable camera, capable of shooting and filming with very high definition (including 4K videos!). From wide landscape shots to close-ups on insects, this device has got you covered. The front-facing camera is just as impressive, sporting a 24MP lens (also with ZEISS optics and HDR), keeping your selfies crystal clear. Image/Video Capabilities As mentioned above, the camera on this thing is truly amazing, but it's even more so when you look into some of the processing and capabilities built-in to the Nokia 8.3 5G.  Efficient low-light shooting, active HDR and ZEISS cinematic effects mean that this smartphone is ready when you are, able to shoot at night while retaining the high quality image resolution that you'd expect from an HDR camera, brilliantly reproduced on the 6.81" display (featuring PureDisplay Technology). Similarly, where would a great-quality video be without equally great sound? The Nokia 8.3 can record 360-degree (spatial and directional) full frequency audio to supplement your video in order to make the experience as true-to-life as possible, as if you were in the moment every time you watch. 5G Connectivity With their mass-rollout in 2019, 5G data services supply the fastest connection speeds of any cellular infrastructure to date, and by a long-shot. These lightning-quick speeds allow you to effortlessly share your high-res shots and 4K movies from the Nokia 8.3 5G, while providing seamless streaming and gaming connections, so that nothing will ever get in the way of your entertainment. Under The Hood All of the previously mentioned capabilities of the Nokia 8.3 5G are made possible by the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 756G processor, 6GB of RAM and the integrated Android 10 (with Android One) OS. Boasting 5G optimisation and a "premium-tier experience" for gamers and streamers alike, the Snapdragon 756G is 10% faster than the next available model of processor from Qualcomm and runs with energy efficiency in mind, so you can game with players from around the world without worrying about your battery depleting in the middle of a game! Is the Nokia 8.3 5G Waterproof? Once again we revisit the question on everyone's mind; is it waterproof? In this case; no, the Nokia 8.3 5G is not waterproof.

Succeeding the Nokia 2.2, the Nokia 2.3 boasts a sleeker design, bigger battery, an extra camera sensor and improved internals.  At under £100, this is truly an entry level device and yet offers a host of specifications that are usually reserved for more expensive devices.  Nokia 2.3 | £99.98 inc-VAT Design/Display The Nokia 2.3 is an entry-level device through and through, but despite this, boasts a stunning 6.2-inch HD+ IPS display with a 720 x 1520-pixel resolution at 271ppi and a 19:9 aspect ratio. Colour reproduction isn’t half bad and watching media playback is a generally enjoyable experience. Despite having noticeable bezels, the Nokia 2.3 also houses a waterdrop notch which allows for an 80.7% screen-to-body ratio. This might seem like a strange inclusion given the size of the chin, but it didn’t interfere with my experience one bit. The 3D nano-textured polymer casing is also really unique. It fits securely in the hand and gives for a stunning finish like no other. Couple this with a high precision diecast aluminium chassis and you get the rigidity and reliability that you’ve probably come to expect of Nokia devices. Indeed, the device weighs 183g overall, with dimensions of 157.7 x 75.4 x 8.7mm. The volume rocker and power buttons are conveniently located to the right, whilst there is a Google Assistant button on the opposite side. 6.2-inch HD+ IPS display  720 x 1520-pixel resolution 271-pixels per inch  19:9 aspect ratio  80.7% screen-to-body ratio Weight: 183g  157.7 x 75.4 x 8.7mm  Camera Succeeding the Nokia 2.2, HMD Global have added another camera sensor, for a dual-lens rear setup that consists of a 13MP main lens with an f/2.2 aperture and a 2MP depth sensor. Advanced structural engineering made it possible to sit the lenses within a metal ring, rather than having them protrude from the casing, so that should help with protection from scratches. On the whole, shots are generally very impressive, with good levels of colour reproduction and crisp detail. The Nokia 2.3 also utilises a host of AI smarts for a range of cool features. ‘Recommended Shots’ is my favourite of these and snaps extra shots both before and after the shutter is pressed, before automatically recommending the best one. The added camera lens also allows for improved portrait photography, with a variety of bokeh effects available. These include Classic, Butterfly, Heart and Star-Shaped and object separation isn’t half bad for a device at this price point. You can then use Google Photos to adjust the blur after the shot has been taken. If selfies are more your thing, then the Nokia 2.3 has a 5MP front camera with an f/2.4 aperture. This is also a wide-angle lens, making it perfect for fitting everybody into those big group selfies. This front sensor is similarly utilised in HMD’s Biometric Face Unlock tech for enhanced security. Alongside this, you can record video at 1080p @ 30fps. 13MP main sensor; f/2.2 aperture  2MP depth sensor  Improved portrait photography  5MP front camera; f/2.4 aperture  1080p video @ 30fps  Performance Undoubtedly one of the Nokia 2.3’s biggest attractions is that it runs Android One; a pure Android experience that offers a clean and responsive interface without any unnecessary bloatware. With this, you are guaranteed software upgrades for 2 years and monthly security updates for 3 years, as well as an imminent upgrade to Android 10 promised. The quad-core Mediatek MT6761 Helio A22 Processor, coupled with 2GB RAM is probably what you’d expect of this kind of device, however I didn’t have any issues with basic and day-to-day tasks. But, if you’re a keen mobile gamer, then this probably isn’t the smartphone for you. The 4,000mAh battery is similarly impressive, with AI Adaptive Battery technology that should allow you to use the device for up to 2 full days without needing a charge. 5W charging isn’t the fastest, but you do have to remember that this is an entry-level device. Alongside this, you’re looking at 32GB of internal storage with support for a microSD card up to 400GB. A Nano-SIM card is also accepted, whilst the device has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro-USB port. There isn’t support for NFC, but all other standard connectivity support is provided.
