Home Nokia

The Nokia 6.1 is here and you can buy one on May 6th

Featuring ZEISS optics, the Nokia 6.1 has a 16MP back camera and an 8MP front camera. The enhanced Dual-Sight feature allows you to take two images at the same time aka a bothie instead of a selfie. The phone will also let you stream to social media from both cameras at the same time with Nokia spatial high fidelity audio surround sound.

The Nokia 6.1 has been updated with a faster processor (Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 630) that is a 60% speed boost over the previous model. More features and faster performance doesn’t mean a bulky device though. The Nokia 6.1 is housed in a sleek and compact two-tone anodized aluminum unibody shell.

Unlike some Android phone makers, the new Nokia 6.1 is powered by pure Android Oreo. That means you get all the stock Android goodness with none of the OS overlay junk that you don’t need or want.

The Nokia 6.1 joins the Android One family, offering a high-quality software experience designed by Google. The Nokia 6.1 will stay fresh over time with the latest Google innovations and regular security updates. Since it runs pure Android, the Nokia 6.1 comes with no unnecessary UI changes or hidden processes that would eat up your battery life or slow it down so you can enjoy your phone for longer. As with all Nokia smartphones on the Android One platform, the Nokia 6.1 will come with a limited number of pre-installed apps so that you’ll get more storage space.

The Nokia 6.1 will be available to purchase from Best Buy and Amazon for $269.99 starting Sunday, May 6, 2018.

Nokia’s going old-school cool with its $60 3310 3G

Nokia 3310 3G

Here’s your chance to grab a rejuvenated slice of cell phone history. The iconic Nokia 3310 candy bar style cell phone is coming back in a 3G flavor on October 29th and sports a 320×240 display, a 2MP external camera and 16MB (that’s megabytes, remember those?) of internal memory. It’s compatible with GSM carriers, so AT&T and T-Mobile. It’s also compatible with GSM SIM Kits for Cricket Wireless, Tracfone, Net10, H2O, GoPhone and Simple Mobile. 

And get this, it even plays Snake.

Naturally, the battery life in this thing is legendary compared to most modern smartphones… 22 hour talk time. Remember not having to charge your phone for days on end? Me too. I’ll take my iPhone any day — it’s a fair trade to be able to text with a full keyboard and all those other wonderful modern conveniences.

But if you’re looking for a good emergency phone or something to use while traveling abroad… or you simply use a cell phone for what it was originally invented for, you know, talking, then this might be a great option for you.

The phone is now available for pre-order at Best Buy for $59.99 and launches on October 29, 2017, and comes in black, red, yellow or blue.
