Nokia 8110 4G (Banana Phone) Specs and Price

The Nokia 8110 4G is a remodelling of last year’s Nokia 8110 and sort of like a throwback to the classics of yore. It was among the Mobile phones, HMD displayed in the MWC 2018 event that happened in Spain. This is not an Android phone, but more of a feature phone with a difference. The device as its name suggests comes with a 4G connectivity, WiFi hotspot and even a camera amongst other things. According to the Finnish OEM, the Nokia 3310 remodelling of last year had a good run, which only means the Nokia 8110 4G has a long way to go.

Design and Display

HMD really went way back for this one,  having this archaic and somewhat gimmicky look which reminds you of the early life of flip phones. It had a curved shape which makes it look like a banana especially the yellow model. The entire body of the Nokia 8110 4G is made of plastic and also features a keypad cover which you can slide in and out of place. Sliding the keypad cover out turns on the screen while sliding it back in place does the opposite. There is also a power button at the right and a camera with flash on the back of the mobile phone.

What you have on the Nokia 8110 4G is not a touchscreen display just more of a feature phone screen and a sizeable one too. It is 2.4-inch in size with 240 x 320 pixels resolution which means not for watching movies or something related to that. However, it is suitable for viewing images, visiting Facebook//Twitter or things like that and for day to day usage.

Battery and Camera

According to HMD, the Nokia 8110 4G is good for 25 days on standby which is something you cannot say about the smartphones you have now. This is provided by the 1, 500mAh Li-ion battery which is possible thanks to the feature status of the phone. Also, the Nokia 8110 4G is capable of making a 4G LTE call for 8.5 hrs, something that not even your Samsung Galaxy S9 can do.

The camera on the Nokia 8110 4G is only a recent addition and this is on the rear panel with nothing at the front. Snapping with the 2MP back camera is not something you’d want to do often looking at the quality of the sensor.
