Nokia 8110 Physical Overview
The Nokia 8110 4G comes with a banana-like curved design with a sliding keypad cover. While the phone is heavily inspired from its predecessor, it comes with modern looks. The display is a QVGA panel and it is not a touch screen display. The slider on the keyboard unlocks the phone when you slide it down and locks it when you slide it back up.
At the back of the phone, the banana curve of the device is noticeable. You get a single 2MP camera with flash and a speaker. The Nokia branding can also be seen at the back. The phone fits nicely in hand but feels slightly tall and thick when it comes to the build. However, when you hold the phone, you can use it easily with one hand.
The back of the phone pops open to unveil the insides of the device. The Nokia 3310 4G is backed by a 1,500 mAh battery and supports Dual SIM cards and a microSD card. The good thing here is that the connectivity is uncompromised. This means you can use two SIM cards and a microSD card on the device together.
Nokia 8110 4G – Unique Selling Points
Iconic Design
The phone comes as a nostalgia to many of us. It resurrects the iconic design of the older Nokia 8110. While the old one seems a lot bulkier and chunky, the newly launched 4G variant is a sleek and elegant. The design as well as the colour options make it look good and modern.
You can get the Nokia 8110 4G in black and Banana yellow colours. The design also adds functionality as the device is unlocked when you slide open the keypad. For a feature phone, the device looks good and different compared to its competitors.
New games and apps
In terms of games, the Nokia 8110 4G comes with the new Snake game. While the old snake was popular with Nokia feature phones earlier, the company is bringing a newer version for this phone. Facebook also comes pre-installed on the phone so you can make use of the 4G capabilities and stay connected with social media.
Added apps like Twitter, Maps, and an App Store make it a smart feature phone which is good. So apart from the design, we can say that the unique app package is another reason the phone stands out.
