Cell phone "Nokia 3110". Nokia (Nokia 3110 classic): specifications, design

There are phones on the market that remain in demand at all times. These are gadgets that are on sale once, and even after years remain popular with buyers. Sometimes such models are remembered in a good way and those who managed to use this device at the time of its sales, now switched to another version of a more technological gadget.

Just about this phone we'll talk today. Meet, if you have not heard before - the well-known model in the world 3110. Nokia, the developer of the product, was able to create a unique in its way, "not slaughtered", and at the same time has a basic functional phone that was remembered for a long time. Now, of course, it is not released, but in due time this gadget was very popular.

Positioning

It is not difficult to guess how exactly the model 3110 "Nokia" was introduced in the market. It's really an easy-to-use device. With it, you can make calls, make some primitive pictures, store files on the memory card, transfer them using the Bluetooth wireless interface.

The device is unpretentious, thus it is capable to work long time, keeping a charge within several days.

In view of all this, the device is positioned as a working and reliable phone. By its appearance and style (we'll talk about this a little later), the device seems to confirm this.

Price policy

Of course, today does not sell its model of the 3110 "Nokia". This is not necessary, because, as time and experience show, the market has other values and preferences. People use more powerful smartphones running on high-frequency processors, with a colorful, rich color display and camera. All this makes the device not just a means for communication, but a real multimedia center of a universal profile.

When the phone "Nokia 3110" was on sale for the first time, maybe he too could be mistaken for one of these gadgets that we see today. After all, it also had a number of advanced functions, as described above. Obviously, this was a profitable acquisition against the background of other, simpler devices, and people readily paid for it.

The cost of the phone as of 2007 is difficult to say today, but the fact that the model belonged to the premium class is a fact. At that time, there was a rare support for memory cards, infrequently there were cameras with such a matrix and communication capabilities in the form of a USB input and the Bluetooth mentioned above. Today, of course, the model is in a completely different class, so if you want to purchase it, you will have to search among private ads, because there is no device in the official sale. Let's just say that the average price for Nokia 3110 is $ 5-10. At the time of going on sale it was much higher.

Design

Unconditional dignity of the device can be considered its appearance and style. We have already started talking about this, but I would also like to clarify a bit more about how the 3110 model is framed.

"Nokia", I should say, already had the experience of releasing such devices at the time this phone was released. Then such devices were in vogue, and the Finnish manufacturer only took as a basis the generally accepted concept.

The dark color of the coarse plastic, from which the model's body was made, was also chosen clearly not accidentally - this only emphasizes the overall concept of the device. Rounded buttons, a ledge around the screen and a shape of the top speaker - all this has already been used on other Nokia devices, so the design of the model can be called proprietary. At least, his recognizability is high enough, including - he also had a new "Nokia 3110" (of course, as of 2007).

Separately, we can note the practicality, which is different phone. First of all, it attracts a quality assembly, which excludes any loopholes, creaks and reels. This means that you will not worry about the safety of the model. Also, as it is not difficult to guess by its appearance, the case "Nokia 3110" is protected from falls and bumps. Already the plastic mentioned above is capable of carrying any tests for durability while keeping the inside of the phone.

Screen

On devices like the 3110 model, the display plays a significant role. Even then it was clear (meaning when producing keyphones) that devices can have both a bright and colorful, and a simpler display, serving to display information.

Of course, then the phone screen had a smaller role than today's modern smartphones. Devices with a miniature display did not differ much from the phones on which it was thought to be large, since then all the models were made in this format.

If we are talking about "Nokia 3110" (classic version), then it installed a screen, the size of the image - 128 x 160 pixels. Although by modern standards this parameter is ridiculous, in the case of 3110 it is capable of transmitting about 262 thousand colors, which differs little from the capabilities of many top-end phones of that time. It is built on the technology TFT (which, incidentally, is used on some budget gadgets to this day).

Battery

One of the advantages of the model, and especially of modern telephones, is its autonomy. This is not surprising, because the charge of "Nokia 3110" (the battery and its volume is now not taken into account) is much lower than that of smartphones with a large screen and a powerful processor. The phone, which we characterize in this case, consumes only a small fraction of what it would be necessary for the Chinese smartphone to function.

Therefore, the opportunities associated with autonomy in the 3110 is much broader. With a 1020 mAh battery, the phone can operate up to 370 hours in standby mode. We think it's worth noting once again that this is enough to not charge the device for several days (and not hours).

Memory

Surprisingly, the developers have already thought about the need to provide the right amount of memory for the placement of media files. The user gets at his disposal almost 40 megabytes of internal memory. This is the basic minimum that can be used by those who have a small enough volume for several dozen "light" files.

As for the more active users who use the phone as an MP3 player, they support a microSD memory card.

If you connect the card to 1 or 2 GB, you could really use the phone as a means of transferring data. In the same way, it would probably be possible to transfer contacts from the device.

Connectivity

As mentioned above, the model has extensive communication capabilities. Suppose that there is no support for 2 SIM cards, but the gadget has Bluetooth, WAP connection support, and an infrared port (which all cause nostalgia). This means that the device can freely exchange data, which at the time of its release was a great achievement. Of course, for the connection with the PC, it is proposed to use a USB interface, especially practical if you need to transfer a large amount of data.

A photo

The last point I would like to characterize is the possibilities of a photo and video camera installed on the model described by us. With a resolution of 1.3 Mp matrix to rely on something serious, of course, it is not worth it. The user could take pictures with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels, although color transfer here would naturally be very bad. Concerning the video, we can say that its resolution would reach 176 x 144 pixels (at 15 frames per second).

Among other things, an 8x zoom is available, with which you can enlarge the image for shooting. True, the quality of his work is also difficult to call good - it only significantly worsens the image, making it blurry.

Reviews

There is nothing surprising in that now about the model 3110 there is a huge amount of feedback. All of them are left by people who happened to use it.

What is noteworthy, the phone has a very high rating (solid four). In most cases, users call it a device that has everything you need (meaning communication, work and communication). The model is praised for its accessibility, beautiful and at the same time simple design, quality assembly and operation at the highest level. Many people say that they have been working with the phone for several years, and during all this time the device did not fail once.

Positively characterize and other points in the work of 3110. For example, someone praises the dimensions of the device, calling it very compact and convenient to handle. There are users who are happy for a long time charging - it allows you to treat the device as a secondary phone, if the battery sits in the main (smartphone).

Such reviews are the best indicator of the quality of the device, its reliability and stability. If you will have the opportunity to purchase such a phone, buy it safely!
