      I answered a bunch of questions in the last JB post.
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/643860

      Camera is definitely not great in low light conditions.
      As with all android phones, you can sideload on GCam (The pixel camera app), and it will vastly improve the camera quality

      why amoled is so important for this?

      • Silent-zai on 08/09/2021 - 14:25

        its not extremely important, but I cant go back after having a Samsung s8 and color accuracy means a lot to me as a videographer. when ever I make a video I use my s8 to view after as sort of a baseline to know it will look good on most devices.

      My price protection claim was rejected by JB hifi and they said only can be done within 14 days of purchase. I can't find anything online around 14 days period and I have done in-store claim even close to 4 weeks. I think they are trying to fob off!

    • fatice on 02/09/2021 - 09:26

      They are the same. Just look at the USB-C port - "USB Type-C 2.0, USB On-The-Go". Good phones use "USB Type-C 3.2", but 5 times the price.

      These mid-range phones have more RAM, expandable storage and affordable price are the selling points.

  • garage sale on 02/09/2021 - 13:44

    I got one in the last deal, its a great phone,

    Only issue I have found is that with facial recognition enabled if you are wearing glasses or mask and you didnt when you captured images, when you open the phone, comes up with too many attempts and you need to use finger print or pin …..

    it's not a bug, but I'm sure someone probably posted a negative review that it can't AI that I'm wearing a mask or bought new glasses ……

  • JonnyQuest on 08/09/2021 - 20:53

    I also bought one a few weeks ago but having trouble where to find the best Screen Protector for it ??

    I don't want to use it until I can get something good to protect the screen.

    From what I've read on Amazon there are differing opinions - nothing conclusive of what brand Screen Protector to use ?

    I asked Nokia - and they couldn't even help. (Just get the best you find from a good seller )

    Yet a lot of there models eg 5.4 and others already have a protector applied to screen in box brand new !

    Could anyone offer advice that has the 8.3 5G ?

    • Ughhh on 09/09/2021 - 01:29

      Do people actually buy base on brand for screen protectors?

      I've always bought mine (tempered glass) off Aliexpress, never had an issue to put on, has saved my phone many times and easy and cheap to replace.

      • JonnyQuest on 09/09/2021 - 09:20

        I don't care what brand - with this Nokia 8.3 5G , I read people buying a screen protector is a crap shoot - to find one that Fits Properly !

        I am just asking if anyone that has this particular phone - if they can recommend a protector that they are happy with, and fits well ?
