Comparison review
Sony Xperia 5 has an overall score of 81, which is just a bit better than the Nokia 8.3 5G's global score of 80.5. Sony Xperia 5 is an older phone than the Nokia 8.3 5G, but Sony managed to make it just a bit thinner and noticeably lighter. The Sony Xperia 5 counts with a little better performance than Nokia 8.3 5G, although it has a lower amount of RAM memory, they both have the same number of cores.
Sony Xperia 5 features a bit more vivid screen than Nokia 8.3 5G, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a little higher resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels and a little better pixel count in each inch in the display. Nokia 8.3 5G's memory for apps and games is very similar to the Xperia 5 one, both of them have exactly the same internal memory capacity and a slot for an external memory card that supports a maximum of 512 GB.
The Nokia 8.3 5G has a really longer battery life than Sony Xperia 5, because it has a 4500mAh battery size. Nokia 8.3 5G captures a little bit better pictures and videos than Xperia 5, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not favorable for low light photography and videos, and they both have the same video definition and the same video frame rate, the Nokia 8.3 5G also counts with a much more mega-pixels camera and a bigger back-facing camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors.
Although Xperia 5 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Nokia 8.3 5G, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Nokia 8.3 5G. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy Xperia 5, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Nokia 8.3 5G, giving up some specifications.
