The Nokia 8.3 5G launched last summer to positive reviews as HMD Global’s first ever 5G smartphone. Now, months later, the device is about to become a little better thanks to a new update.

Bahrain, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Iceland, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Lithuania, Macau, Morocco, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Tunisia, UAE, USA, and Vietnam.
