As the former overlord of the mobile phone industry, Nokia was the first choice of millions of households at its peak. However, three decades later, when modern smart phones rose, Nokia made a wrong assessment of the situation. Whether it was the self-developed sailfish operating system or the micro soft WP/WM system, under the attack of iOS and Android, it could not show its courage at that time, After struggling for several years, Nokia finally failed to escape the fate of being rehabilitated. However, just a few years later, HMD led to the success of Nokia's consumer business, and Nokia brand mobile phones also reappeared in the Jianghu. Today's leading role "banana machine" is the classic model of the year - 8110.
After HMD took over the banner of Nokia brand, the most significant change is to change the traditional image of Nokia and face consumers with a more youthful image. The packaging is very lively.
In addition to the changes in packaging, a classic retro model launched by the company adopts lively and dynamic color matching, which is cute and friendly.
The screen adopts a pure black screen panel, which forms a strong contrast with the color of the body, and has some visual impact.
The fuselage presents a certain concave radian, coupled with bright yellow color matching, which is also the origin of the nickname "banana machine", very pictographic.
The design of the machine body is very simple, and the keyboard uses the same color matching as the machine body. Of course, the classic Nokia logo has been retained. Does this point of view have some flavor of classic Nokia.
The whole body is made of polycarbonate, and the surface is treated with fog surface sanding. The astringency is moderate, and it will not leave fingerprints and stains, but also is relatively scratch resistant, which is more practical than the bright surface material. Although the camera has little significance for this retro model, the 8110 is equipped with a 2 megapixel rear camera and monochrome flash light, probably to make the back less boring. Below the camera is the speaker opening. Although the opening is easily blocked when placed in the pocket, you can rest assured that Nokia's volume will never be ignored. （ stay The author who tested the volume in the office was almost killed by his colleague ）
In terms of configuration, the device uses a 2.4 inch QVGA resolution display and is equipped with Qualcomm 205 dual core SoC, which is also Qualcomm's mobile platform designed for 100 yuan computers. This is matched with 512MB of memory and 4GB of storage space. The system uses the Smart Feature OS system, and the overall style is closer to the interface of the traditional function machine.
As a "retro phone", the battery and SIM card slot of the 8110 are also very "retro", requiring users to open the back cover for installation. The machine supports dual cards, dual standby, dual 4G, and VoLTE calls, which are functions that ancient functional machines cannot do.
In terms of battery, it is equipped with 1500mAh lithium-ion battery, which supports disassembly. However, the 8110 is equipped with Mirco USB interface, which can be charged directly, but the attached charger is only 5V/550mA. As for the endurance, users who have managed modern smart phones should not worry about it. The theoretical standby time can be up to 17 days.
The attached earphones match the positioning of the "retro machine" very well. It has been many years since mobile phone manufacturers have seen it come with a flat plug. However, there is nothing to be picky about at this price. It's better than nothing.
Of course, as a popular mobile phone, the 8110 obviously has its killer weapon, and the slide is its biggest feature. Today, when this straight full touch screen model dominates smartphones, the slide design is very rare.
The three dimensions of the fuselage are 133.45 * 49.3 * 14.9mm, and the weight is 117g. However, this length is the length after the sliding cover is closed, and the length increases by about 4cm after the sliding cover is opened.
The slide rail is made of plastic material, so the handle is still harsh, slightly stuck, and the sliding feel is obviously not comparable to that of metal slide rail.
Just under such appearance, will anyone really mind these small flaws?
summary
Since HMD took over the Nokia brand, it has launched a number of classic retro models. Different from the old products' durable but outdated appearance, the retro models tend to have more bright colors, more solid materials, and more seamless workmanship. The market has also given enough positive responses to such a sincere retro product. However, beneath its gorgeous appearance, there are also problems such as slow system operation and unsmooth slide rails. It seems that at the price of 499, plus Nokia's belief bonus, you can't be too picky.
