Nokia's Banana Phone ala Matrix Phone

Nokia's Banana Phone
During the gadget gathering the size of Mobile World Congress, some items tried to solve an obvious consumer need in a predictable manner. One of these is Nokia's Banana Phone.

Beyond a sharp-looking set of Android phones distinguished by their up-to-date, unaltered versions of Google’s operating system, Nokia (as in, the HMD Global firm that licenses the name) unveiled the 8110 4G.

Everyone has seen a phone like this before — either because you used the original 8110 in the 1990s or because you saw Keanu Reeves take a life-altering call on one in The Matrix. This relaunched version will presumably not lead anybody to take the red pill when it ships in April for €79. But it will offer 4G connectivity, voice-over-LTE calling, dual SIM slots allowing you to switch between carriers, and a battery life measured in days.
