Technology is more than just changing the shell. An inventory of Nokia's strange phones

Speaking of Nokia, I believe that the former mobile phone giant has left a deep impression on many users. It has launched many impressive models, from the luxury business phone 8800, to the classic game phone N-Gage, to the Nseries E-series, which is popular on university campuses. There are countless classic mobile phones in Nokia's history, Today we will count the Nokia phones with more "strange" shapes.


Nokia 7600

As an old brand that has dominated the mobile phone industry for many years, Nokia has never lacked excellent design genes, and has launched many classic models with unusual shapes, of which 7600 is one of the most special models. The 7600 adopts an unusual key layout design, located on both sides of the screen, similar to the design of Siemens SX1, so it has a very different overall shape, chubby and almost square. In addition to the streamlined shape, it looks like a leaf, which is also a unique shape popular with users, This is also one of the most popular models for women in Nokia's history.


Nokia 3650

The year 2003 was the year when Nokia's design exploded. In addition to the classic 7600, Nokia also launched another impressive model, the Nokia 3650, with a retro design. The machine has quite beautiful color matching and a keyboard that imitates the old telephone dial. It is very lively and young on the whole, but the body size is slightly larger, and the overall size reaches 130 * 57 * 26mm. The phone is equipped with S60 system, which is one of Nokia's earliest smart phones, and the price is relatively friendly. However, it is a pity that the large size of the phone has limited its development. After 3660, Nokia gave up the dial keyboard design.


Nokia N-Gage

If there are any mobile phones with "game consoles" as their selling points in the history of mobile phones, Nokia N-Gage must be an indispensable product. In 2003, when mobile games were still wild, Nokia targeted the handheld game market and launched N-Gage game phones. In that remote era, there were few choices to play games anytime and anywhere. Only ancient handheld computers such as Nintendo's GBA could be chosen. So the N-Gage was very dazzling at a glance, but it was slightly different from modern mobile phones. Like the GBA, it had to insert game cards to play games. Unfortunately, it was a little out of time. In the second half of 2003, Nintendo launched an improved version of the GBA SP, and in 2004, Sony launched a handheld game console with cross era significance - the PSP. In addition, N-Gage cartridges are not easy to buy, so Nokia's N-Gage plan can only end badly.


Nokia 7700

From the appearance of the 7700, you may think that it is a game console similar to N-Gage. In fact, it is not. Although there is no dial keypad on the front, it is a real Nokia phone, but it has never really been launched. Nokia gave up the launch plan of the phone in 2004. The oval shape of the machine is very unique. Compared with N-Gage, it is more like a handheld game machine, and the front is more radical than the traditional dial keyboard. The 7700 comes with Nokia's S90 system and is equipped with a 3.5-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 640 × 320. Although it doesn't look like amazing data now, it was a very amazing configuration in 2004, when such a high-quality screen was very rare.


Nokia E90 Communicator

If any mobile phone can only be described as "machine king", the Nokia E90 must be well deserved. Nokia launched this dual screen side flip full keyboard phone in 2007, which uses the S60 V3 system, has a 332MHz single core processor, 128MB of storage space, supports Wi Fi and TF card expansion, and 3.2 million cameras. The outer screen uses a 2.0 inch TFT true color screen, and the inner screen is a 4-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 800 × 352 and 16 million colors. The outer screen is similar to the operation mode of ordinary S60 mobile phones, while the inner screen has more powerful editing functions. The built-in QuickOffice can process documents such as Word and Excel, and has dual screens and dual keyboards. It has dual operation mode, which is a deserved flagship of business at that time.


Nokia N93/N93i

When it comes to Nokia's flagship model, we have to mention the N93/N93i model. It was amazing to appear as a small robot in the Transformers movie. It was ironically explained that Nokia came from Finland rather than Japan, more like to justify its name. At that time, Nokia was also in the limelight. The N93i adopts a unique flip mirror design. The outer cover is made of mirror material. It has a 1.1 inch small screen. The inner screen is 2.4 inches with a resolution of 240 x 320. The camera is 3.2 million pixels. The lens is Vario Tessar Zeiss certified. However, the most eye-catching thing is that the camera is placed on the rotating axis of the body, which gives the lens sufficient space, Therefore, it also has the 3x optical zoom that is not common in mobile phones.


Nokia E70

In addition to these common full keyboard designs, Nokia has also launched a full keyboard model with a more unique design, which is even more powerful. The E70 looks like a normal T9 keyboard phone before the flip is opened, and the key layout is nothing special. But when you open the flip, it suddenly becomes a full keyboard phone, The split full keyboard on the left and right can greatly improve the input efficiency. Compared with the current stereotyped straight touch screen design, Nokia's various shapes in those years can be described as fantastic ideas, giving everyone a wealth of personality choices.


Nokia 7705

Although the most profound rotating screen for speakers is not Nokia, I have to say that this rotating full keyboard design was first introduced by Nokia in 2009. The 7705 is quite compact, with only a 2.4 inch display screen and a sleek and cute shape. However, most users cannot enjoy this phone, which only supports CDMA. The 2.4 inch TFT screen of the phone is QVGA resolution and has a 3 megapixel rear camera. It is a classic model in the history of Nuoji. However, it is a pity that this phone is only equipped with the S40 system, not a smart phone.
