Although the Nokia 8.3 failed to make our comprehensive list of the best budget 5G phones available in 2021 for fairly obvious reasons, normally fetching an arguably excessive $700 with largely unremarkable specs in tow, speed-addicted bargain hunters may not want to completely disregard the 6.8-inch mid-ranger.
Not right now, at least, as Best Buy sells the Snapdragon 765-powered handset unlocked at a whopping $300 discount in a single Polar Night paint job. As special as this one-day-only offer may seem, B&H Photo Video actually managed to surpass it (by a little) all the way back in December 2020.
Since then, however, the 5G-enabled Nokia 8.3 hasn't dropped to $400 again, let alone below that mark, and currently, the phone is up for grabs at its full retail price through B&H while setting you back around 250 bucks less than that on Amazon... in "renewed" condition.
Naturally, the cheaper model available at Best Buy for $399.99 is brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged, supporting 4G LTE and 5G speeds on both T-Mobile and AT&T. In addition to Qualcomm's reasonably powerful processor mentioned above, the Nokia 8.3 5G also has a generous 128 gigs of internal storage and 8GB RAM count going for it.
The excellent spec sheet (at least by $400 standards) includes a grand total of four rear-facing cameras (with Zeiss optics), a solid 24MP selfie shooter, hefty 4,500mAh battery, 18W fast charging capabilities, Android 11 software, a good old fashioned headphone jack, and an always handy microSD card slot as well.
All in all, it's hard not to view the Nokia 8.3 5G as a superior choice to the likes of Google's Pixel 4a 5G or Samsung's Galaxy A52 5G, but once again, you will need to hurry if this does indeed feel like the right pre-Prime Day deal for you.
