Nokia 8110 4 Yellow Mobile Phone

Product Information

What the re-released 8110 does have, however, is 4G network connectivity, dual SIM slots, and smartphone apps such as Google Assistant and Facebook – so now you really can access the Matrix from your Nokia mobile. The 8110 4G has a 4GB internal memory and is equipped with a dual SIM slot, which allows you to use two SIM cards at the same time. It comes with a few pre-installed HTML apps like Twitter and Facebook, plus a handful of games, most of which are demos for boring 2D scrollers. Surprisingly, KaiOS also has Google Assistant, and this works as well as it does on any smartphone – although there’s no “OK, Google” detection, so you have to activate the AI by pushing a button. And although it’s a slick mechanism, it took me a day to get used to just how to swipe it fully open in one smooth movement.

The mouthpiece is no longer placed at the bottom of the sliding cover as it was back in 1996, so the mic doesn’t sit right by your mouth when extended, but I’ve had no problems with voice pickup. The phone, which was likened to a banana thanks to its curving shape and vibrant yellow cover, shot to popularity in 1999 when it was used by Keanu Reeves' character in The Matrix. On the primary camera, options for megapixel sizes, resolution adjustments, and focusing options affect the quality of your photos. Sadly, the spring-loaded slider, which was an exclusive modification for The Matrix, has not made it into the re-release: according to Nokia, it would have made the device too bulky and heavy.Sometimes, when changing a setting, say, the direction pad and button combination proved long-winded, but this is far from a deal-breaker. Nokia Corporation is not a manufacturer, importer, distributor or retailer of the Nokia-branded products offered by HMD Global Oy. Thus the Nokia 8110 4G was born, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 205 dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage.

Even in its silly, banana-yellow attire, the new Nokia 8110 4G just seems to tickle the nostalgia bone the right way.The Qualcomm 205 mobile platform is optimised to bring performance without compromising on battery life, bringing up to 25 days of standby time from a single charge. The display’s clearly too small for touch typing, but it would be nice to be able to scroll browser pages with your thumb, swipe through pictures and pause and skip videos. Indoors it picks up a little more detail, but the flash function is ghastly, resulting in yellow-tinged, cigarette-stained monstrosities. Riffing on the “banana phone” nickname, Nokia has also released a special Banana Yellow colour in addition to the standard Traditional Black. Neo rips open a mysterious FedEx package to find a curved black handset, which immediately begins to ring.
