Nokia 8110 (Black)

I read this phone's review and seen the YouTube review, both contradictory, thought to buy as its price is now around 3k. Well using this phone I found not even a single problem as reviewers saying about this phone except battery that drains fast but as it is 4g capable it happens but not always if it is not in use. Nokia made fantastic phone and far far better than jio phone 1 and 2 but price was higher than the value of the phone, today around 3k it is best to buy. It is dual 4g, good sound and call quality.

OS - KaiOs is not so great in terms of speed and performance. Hung many times Build - Not user friendly, Not easy to type through keypad ( may be because we are used to Android/iOS phones) battery life is not more than a day (without wifi, bt, gps). So it is big let down from Nokia whatsapp - it is having light weight version. Does not support all the original features. cannot download more than 8 mb files, cannot do QR scan so that you can use web.app. it is one of the big let down. comes with pre-installed Jio apps. So there are many apps which you don't need and you cannot uninstall. So you cannot free up the space camera - is fine for the price you pay Recommendation - this is not the basic smart phone. My suggestion is to go either with basic phone or smart phone (andriod or iOS), not in between There is a room for improvements from KaiOS and Nokia, but I don't think they are interested in this kind of market

Like most Nokia number-pad phones, this one too is made of plastic, feels rugged, built-to-last, excellent call quality, powerful antenna and replaceable battery. The sliding numberpad cover adds oodles of style, is a head-turner, but also increases the length of the phone unnecessarily. The curvature is a big blessing - for traditional Nokia basic phones, the speaker used to lie flush on the back of the phone, so if you rest the phone on its back you can't hear incoming call ringing tone - this problem is solved with the curvature. Now you can keep the phone in whatever position, you can still hear an incoming call. All its disadvantages lie in the software (or OS). It is a pain to use - unintuitive and very slow in responding to key-strokes. Even simple things like adding a new Contact or typing a short SMS is a laborious exercise (remember I am a long time and still existing user of Nokia number-pad phones). This phone is best for elderly people who don't tinker too much with it after it is set-up. And do remember to switch off Internet, Facebook, Wi-Fi, etc. as they are activated by default. Another pain is the charger that is packaged with it - it is a measly 0.5 A charger, when even older and cheaper Nokia numberpad phones came with 1 A charging which charges the whole battery in less than 1 hour. This charger takes 2-3 hours of very slow charging - very frustrating. Overall a good phone, does what it is meant to do, somewhat expensive but hopefully will last years and years.

It looks good, easy to hold, and good build quality. Tried with 1 BSNL SIM and 1 JIO SIM together. On an average the maximum battery life is 2 days with Jio internet on, but internet usage was less. Was able to import contacts from Gmail, but no syncing feature. The main issues found: The OS is not that great. The Phone book screen takes time to load the contacts. The hotspot features has some issues, the tethering drops at times. Overall the screens are a slow to respond. Hope the lagging issues would be fixed in the upcoming OS release.

Battery not good

Product is not good as i think at the time of purchasing, Price is also very high and suddenly its giving me hanging issue and now phone has started ringing issue. over all it's very costly and waste of money.

One of the best phone in this price. I bought it for my mom in law. This is trendy and amazing. She is not much into WhatsApp and stuff. For this, this phone is the best use. Simple and yet amazing to use. Has a decent battery life and performance till date (close of 4 months of usage) has been amazing.

Please don't buy this phone. The OS version on this phone is the one for Jio Phone. All the Jio Bloatware is pre-installed and you cannot delete those apps. The os version is stuck at v10 while the global version (non-indian variants) is v16. Nokia nowhere mentioned about pre installed Jio bloatware. Also, If you are thinking of purchasing this phone just for hotspot, the phone will overheat within 15-20 minutes if more than one devices are connected at same time or if the device is on charging which results in temporary network interruption. The phone sound quality is okay but loudspeaker is terrible. Keypad buttons are too small to use properly and sometimes a single button press will be registered multiple times. If you don't have any problems with bloatware and just want a phone with VOLTE support with around 5-6 hours battery backup, maybe this phone is for you. Otherwise please don't purchase this.

Came in no time and worked right out of the box. Easy to configure with great battery life and easy to read screen. Was able to quickly find a network to use it in the UK.

Broken display, damaged body, lot's of scratch

For what it is, it is a very good little phone. I mainly used it so I could receive calls & texts and as a WiFi hotspot for my smartphone who's sim slot broke. There is an appstore built in which allows you to download a limited selection of games and utilities, such as snake, chess & solitaire. The battery lasts a very long time compared to modern smart phones, about 4-5+ days on standby mode and 1.5-2 days with moderate usage (data & hotopot on for the commute to/from work) . My only issues I had though it the lack of a home button to quickly exit apps and no way to control them sound volume other than in the settings menu.

please dont buy this phone , it is just a crap phone. you cant install anything on it waste of time and money

I purchased this phone to use as a "dumb" phone, it works just fine for that! 1. The colour of the handset I received was black (I wanted a black one). 2. Didn't have any "Arabic" or "Chinese" characters on the phones keypad, just English. 3. Came with firmware V11 pre-installed. (When checking for updates, none were found but after powering off the device and powering it back on, it found an update (V17) and installed it just fine.) 4. Came with some bloatware pre-installed that you can’t remove. Some people complain about the build quality, but I think it’s fine. This phone is cheap and the Original Nokia 8110 back in the day would have set you back £££ if you were to purchase it sim free! Would I recommend? Yes.
