News & Reviews:   Nokia 8.3 5G pre-order

Today, Nokia Mobile have announced two new entry-level phones - the Nokia 2.4 and Nokia 3.4. The company also announced the Nokia 8.3 5G as their first 5G device and it is now available in the USA for $700 (~RM2887), whereas the Nokia 2.4 and 3.4 are 119 Euros (~RM574) and 159 Euros (~RM767) respectively. 

It seems that the Nokia 8.3 5G smartphone by HMD Global has been spotted on Amazon Germany, and it seems to come in 2 storage configurations from the price of 599 Euros (~RM2881). While not much is known in regards to the exact release date of the smartphone, the listing on Amazon suggests that it will most likely be available for purchase around July 2020.

In an online livestream yesterday due to Coronavirus concerns, Nokia revealed their Nokia 8.3 5G, 5.3 and 1.3 smartphones along with the 5310 feature phone. While the 8.3 supports 5G and offers a 64MP quad camera with ZEISS Optics, all other tech specs for the three Nokia smartphones are decidedly midrange with one or two standout features here and there. 

All three come with Android One and dedicated Google Assistant buttons but the 1.3 comes with Camera Go, which is the cut down version of the Google Pixel camera app. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but the 8.3 5G is priced at 599 euros (~RM2824) for Q2 2020, the 5.3 at 189 euros (~RM891) for April 2020 and the 1.3 at 95 euros (~RM447) for early April 2020. One of them makes an appearance in the next James Bond movie, No Time to Die.
