Nokia brings back “Banana” phone with 8110 4G

Nokia is reviving the iconic 8110 from the film in the form of a 4G feature phone. The 8110 4G features the curved banana body from two decades ago, but it’s dropped the antenna and is also a fair bit smaller. As with the original, you can slide the keypad cover down to receive a call, and slide it back up to end the call.

There’s a 2.4-inch color screen (320 x 240 pixels) with which to run apps on KaiOS (which was forked from Firefox OS), including a take on the classic Snake game.

The phone is powered by a Qualcomm 205 chip, with 512MB RAM, and also comes with a 2-megapixel camera.

While you might not use this device a whole lot to run mobile apps, the 4G modem might come in handy for turning the phone into a hotspot so you can keep your laptop or tablet connected to the internet.

Nokia claims that you can get up to 25 days of standby time on a single charge with the 8110. That, along with its dual SIM support, could make it a handy device to carry around when you travel.

The Nokia 8110 4G will ship in May in classic black and bright yellow, and will set you back by €79.
