If you’re thinking of investing in your first 5G smartphone but have so far been put off by the steep price tag attached to most of the compatible handsets, then this Black Friday deal on the Nokia 8.3 5G could be the perfect solution for you.

The 8.3 5G, released earlier this year, represents Nokia’s first contribution to the 5G market at the relatively affordable price point of just £500. This Black Friday season, Amazon has slashed the cost of the 8.3 5G by 20% , bringing it down to just £400 for a limited time only.

As 5G smartphones go, that’s pretty amazing value, even though it’s a touch more expensive than most of the Finnish tech firm’s offerings as a result of its powerful Snapdragon 765G chipset.

It gets even better when you consider that the 8.3 5G comes with a full set of features including 6GB RAM, 64GB storage, a cracking quad camera set-up and a stunning 6.8in HDR display.

In addition, it’s Android One certified, which means it currently runs the Android 10 operating system with the promise of at least two year’s worth of major upgrades and three years of monthly security upgrades.

In our original review of the 8.3 5G, a major caveat identified by Nathan was that the smartphone didn’t take the crown in terms of sheer value. The Moto G 5 Plus, for example, offered a similar feature set at a much more palatable price point.

However, this Black Friday deal from Amazon goes some way towards allaying those concerns, allowing you to go 5G with a major brand name without breaking the bank.
