Released in September 2020, the Nokia 8.3 5G earned an overall score of 55. It struggled with readability, video, and control of artifacts, while earning decent scores for color, motion, and touch.
The Nokia 8.3 5G has a pleasant level of brightness when viewed indoors and an acceptable level of brightness in outdoor shade, but it is very dark in low-light conditions. Under sunlight, the device performs a very strong adaptation that renders the content very unnaturally.
Color is the Nokia 8.3 5G’s strongest asset. Only a very slight blue cast is noticeable indoors, and colors are fairly faithful outdoors, but in all cases colors are slightly undersaturated. Under sunlight, colors can appear very unnatural in darker pictures (as illustrated above).
There is a slight shift to orange when held at an angle in portrait mode; in landscape mode, there is a slight but noticeable shift toward pink. Nonetheless, colors are fairly well preserved.
The device shows good color uniformity. A very strong red cast is visible when the blue light filter (BLF) is on.
The Nokia device has very low brightness overall. When playing HDR10 videos, mid-tones are low, and dark details are lost. Colors are fairly accurate despite a slight blue cast, but the strong lack of brightness makes them difficult to distinguish.
The Nokia 8.3 5G shows very few frame drops at 30 fps and 60 fps, and our testers observed no frame drops when playing video games, but motion blur is very visible.
Touch is mostly accurate on the entire display surface, but the device lacks smoothness.
While the Nokia 8.3 5G ignores ghost touches on its edges in portrait orientation, it does not do so when in landscape mode. Further, aliasing is quite visible when playing video games. But the device manages judder well at 24, 30, and 60 fps, and is flicker-free.
