This is the year of 5G whether you want it or not, and you can thank Qualcomm for making the new network technology mandatory in its latest ARM chips. That has led to some extremely big, expensive smartphones in 2020, but HMD plans to launch a more affordable 5G Android phone in the US this year. The Nokia 8.3 5G falls between flagships and budget phones, but we don\u2019t know when it\u2019ll launch or exactly how much it will cost in the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nokia 8.3 5G is not technically a new phone, but it\u2019ll be new for the US. HMD announced the 8.5 5G back in March alongside the 5.3 and 1.3. The Snapdragon 765G inside this phone has an integrated 5G modem unlike the 865, which needs a separate modem. There are only two high-power processing cores and six low-power \u2014 the 865 has a 4\u00d74 setup. The 765 doesn\u2019t crush benchmarks like the 865 does, but it has better battery life, and the real-world performance is almost as good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Odds are this 5G phone will only support sub-6 frequencies. The cost associated with millimeter wave, which is only common in the US, has thus far limited ultra-fast 5G to flagship devices. That\u2019s not a huge loss, though. Millimeter wave only has a range of a few hundred feet and doesn\u2019t pass through walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
