For $153, M2 Pro (6/64 GB) is a phenomenal device, it annihilates anything in its price range. And the almost zero add situation with Poco UI is a big plus. At-least till now.
But design approach & built quality are different from raw performance, M2 Pro cannot touch my Nokia 6.1 [$100, 4/64 GB] in those two aspects. However I do not know the current situation of Nokia in 2020. My M2 Pro is dual glass sandwich design with plastic frame. Same goes for Nokia 8.3. I assume in-hand feel will be more and less be the same.

RishiGuru, 28 Nov 2020So, now you have got hold of this baby? Great. What are you... moreWell it is a big feller. I do not know if it's plastic or aluminium but i could understand why they might have cut on alu body, this thing is heavy, you feal it in your hands, but cheap feeling? No way. This thing feels more premium then 90% of the devices on the market right now. It is just Nokia written all over it. The camera is great, and the screen is super, also the color of it 's body just beats anything now on the market. Stunning device, really. I am just not so sure i could get used to it in my pocket. For a woman, it's dimensions won't be such a problem as most women do not carry their phones in their pockets, but to carry it in your pockets might be a bit wierd, at least at the beginning. I did not used it too much, so i can't tell to much about it.

The huge screen is not much of an issue for me as on the flip side it will provide an immersive multimedia experience. I was going through some reviews of 8.3, some reviewers said the frame is made of cheap plastic rather that classy aluminum to save cost. I am unhappy as Nokia seem to cut corners here as my $100 Nokia 6.1 is even made of solid aluminum.
I am sad as due to market pressure it may be impossible for even Nokia to provide the same level of built quality we received from their 2018 lineup like Nokia 7 Plus & Nokia 6.1.

Hmm, so they're speccing it and pricing it alongside the Pixel 4a 5g. Bigger screen, but less ROM built in. Same 60Hz, but this is LCD. Both good at Android updates. No AptX HD bluetooth codec for wireless headphones. I'm not sure the value's there really - unless they start discounting pronto.

and second, since when a house cost 599 euros?
and last, if you don't like this phone based on price, performance, ugly design or something, I won't judge. but like I said it's people's opinion to buy it or not. not like you would buy this phone right because of your opinion?
I like this phone after seeing it on review, but it's too pricey for me as a teen.

Carol, 11 Nov 2020Well i did not said much, but you're welcome.I just wanted to validate the review by Tech Spurt based on your personal experience. And your answer served well with my query. As I have mentioned, this will be for my Mom who's just into point and shoot photography for her social media account. Ciao ☺
