A few years ago, the not-so-smart phones (rather crude) and the better quality ones were Nokia or Motorola, you didn’t see any more brands (worth considering) on this side of the continent. They were terminals the size of half a brick, with antennas almost like those of a transistor or radio but, they withstood bumps, falls, the passage of time and, in a nutshell: “use and abuse” by users like me, in my college version Thus, it is very possible that a large part of the population over 35 years of age remembers how Nokia (which is not a Japanese brand, it is Finnish) earned a place in the hearts of users, not only by appearing in movies but at the point of resistance and good performance.
And although times have changed, that level of duration is maintained (on average) in some Nokia models and, especially in the XR20, which is the rubberized smartphone (in English Rugged) aimed at the end user (not the corporate).
The arrows are back!
Now, there is a range of “arrow” type phones that many manufacturers have forgotten but that Nokia has not wanted to leave behind! For the same reason, it is quite interesting to witness the arrival of mobile phones, as is the case with:
Nokia 8210 4G with a lot of style!
The Nokia 8210 comes with an eye-catching design, 2.8″ screen (not comparable to smartphones but comes in handy in this form factor), intuitive user interface, the durability that Nokia users It has users accustomed to + 4G and even VoLTE and a long battery life like that of traditional phones of yesteryear.
Nokia 5710 XpressAudio: Cutting edge sound joins 21st century innovation
At that time when listening to music on a phone was a feat of engineering, who did not have or want to have a Nokia 5710 XpressAudio! I think that more than one of the TECHcetera readers owned one of these terminals, therefore, it is interesting to see the new version that it has
- longer battery life,
- Dedicated key interface for audio control
- Built-in wireless headset (stows under the cover on the back of the phone and stays charged by doing so) by today’s user standards. Now, for those who want to share their music with family, friends or acquaintances, this new version integrates dual speakers.
The brand has a foldable, the Nokia 2660 Flip!
Before many get excited and run out to buy Flip, it is worth remembering that it is a phone and not a Smartphone, for the same reason, the benefits will be much more modest than those of one of the current “foldable” . In this case, for the most nostalgic users, the Nokia 2660 includes a large screen, compatibility with hearing aids, long battery life and large buttons!
Nokia does not back down and does not give up in the world of tablets!
From Nokia N1, a 7.9″ tablet with Android 5 (a novelty at the time), the brand did not dare to return to the tablet market but, as has been said several times in TECHcetera, the manufacturer has come back stronger , armed with a kit of updates and security patches to compete in a market practically dominated by the iPad, where the options for users of the green robot’s operating system are quite limited not only in terms of quantity but also of quality and validity .
Finally, for those who do not have the money to think regarding a T20, the new Nokia T10 arrives, a small but powerful model that comes with Android 12, with two years of guaranteed operating system updates and three years of monthly security updates, which helps to extend the useful life of the device. The textured cover helps the exterior of the device stay relatively scratch-free as well.
For many, these products may not be the most exciting, but they undoubtedly have their niche of users who catch their attention and bring joy to their lives!
