Nokia 8.3 5G - user opinions and reviews

wow i didn't expect it to be THIS terrible
it costs like 4 mi a1 and is worse than it
terrible sausage screen with a hole incompatible with apps, no buttons, dead button on the left side which you can't rebind. bad fingerprint scanner which you have to mush 10 times to open. ultra ugly back side which is disgusting to the touch and abysmal camera bump which gets scratches and cuts your finger in half while damaging you new table even through a thick case.
and all that to have the worst camera i ever saw. it's worse than everything it forcibly adds crayon filter to all your photos. in all camera apps. in pro mode too. the text is unreadable, everything out of focus and by default it cuts all picture with digital zoom into sausages.
i only wanted it because my nokia 925 takes the best pictures of all my phones. and it is still better than iphone, mia1, and now than 8.3. i can't use this camera even for casual quick photos because the pictures are unusable.
the only way to get usable picture is to shoot pro+raw, but raw photos are grey and those files cannot be open by any software on my pc
it runs games worse than cheap mi a1, it lags like posterior in angry birds evolution. you cant properly use internet because it's a sausage, and it's unusable in horizontal because gboard takes THE WHOLE SCREEN. it's impossible to use with one hand.
i wasted half a year's salary on it and now i have nothing to eat. my life was a mistake.

Tom, 28 Jan 2021I read it can shoot 24fps in 2k widescreen, 4k 30 fps/60fps 1080p 30/60/240?Plus rawYes, you are right. It turns out that there is H-Log option for video recording. H-Log is basically RAW format but for video.

Why is thee only 64GB storage available in UK and same case with 5.4 model? Do we have less storage requirements?

Currently it's price is sale in VN for a brief used phone with warranty about 8 months at ~340 USD. Quite a good price compares to others in the same price range.
However, i have used for a few mins at the shop yesterday, must say that i'm not too impressed with it:
- Big screeen, which is too big to put inside pocket (i prefer it to be ~6.1" like Nokia 8.1 - my using one).
- Quite heavy: good hand holding feeling, but for long time playing games e.g. it would stress my hand.
- Stock Camera: Back, not too impressive compare to Nokia 8.1, front: good one, far better.
- I dont get the idea of putting a gg assistant button to the left side, quite useless for me and most of users i ever known.
- Also screen: for high quality videos on youtube, its screen doesnt better than my nokia 8.1.
--------
i planned to upgrade my nokia 8.1 into this but after on-hand a while, i need to think more.
Anyone using this phone can confirm me it's contact list search is not stupid like nokia 8.1 any more?

daredevil1, 21 Jan 2021FYI Nokia, i didn't buy this phone because of that stupid google assistant side button.
... moreYou can easily program it to do something else.
e.g.. long press for flashlight.
