HMD took us back in time with the unveiling of the Nokia 8210 4G, a throwback to the Nokia 8210 from 1999, as well as the Nokia 2660 Flip and Nokia 5710 XpressAudio – a candy bar handset with built-in wireless earbuds.
Nokia 5710 XpressAudio is the most exciting offering of the bunch thanks to its built-in wireless earbuds. The back of the phone features a sliding mechanism that houses the buttons and charges them when not in use. You can use the earbuds to listen to music stored on the device (up to 32 GB storage space via the microSD slot) or FM radio and you can also connect them to any other device such as a smartphone or tablet. The phone also has a headphone jack if you prefer that route.
Nokia 8210 4G takes its design from the classic model launched in 1999, but updates the hardware on all fronts. There’s a 2.8 QVGA color display, LTE connectivity and support for up to 32GB of storage via microSD card. The phone is made of polycarbonate and comes in sand, blue and red colors. There is a 1450 mAh removable battery with a maximum talk time of 6 hours on 4G and up to 19 days on standby. Other extras include an FM radio receiver that works with both wired and wireless earbuds, a built-in MP3 player and the favorite game Snake.
Nokia 2660 Flip is the third new entry and offers similar specs to the other two new Nokia feature phones but in a clamshell form. It has a 2.8 QVGA main screen, a secondary 1.77-inch panel, a VGA camera and a 1450 mAh battery with a capacity of up to 20 days on standby.
All three phones are coming to the UK later this month. The Nokia 8210 4G and Nokia 2660 Flip sell for £64.99 (€59), while the Nokia 5710 XpressAudio costs £74.99 (€69).
HMD also unveiled the Nokia T10 – an 8-inch (1280x800px) tablet with optional LTE, a 5,250mAh battery and a price tag of €159 ($159).
