16ARGB01A06 8110 4G UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Black

This is arguably the best phone for a digital minimalist given the incredible value for money that this phone provides. The following are the pros and cons as I see them: Pros: - Huge battery life - in a time where a day long battery life seems big, this has about 3 weeks worth. - 4G Hotspot capability - combine this with the battery life and you can be mobile and connected for days. - Cheap - For £37 just buy a couple and keep them as spare. - WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter - while typing out messages on this phone can be a bit of a task, you still have the three major social media platforms available to you. - Google Assistant and Maps - Not the full fledged version but you do still get access to the Google Assistant and Google Maps. - MicroSD expandable storage - FM Radio - use with the included headphones and you basically have free entertainment on the go. - Durable - made from the same polycarbonate as the essential Nokia feature phones, so you know it can take a beating. - Camera - This isn't going to win you photography prizes, but if needed, you have a 2MP camera available to you. Cons: - Not a smartphone - if you're looking for a cheap smartphone, go with the Nokia 1, or Nokia 2.1. This is not a smartphone. It's the smartest feature phone. - App gap - understandably, this feature phone does not have access to apps like Snapchat, Duo, etc. Also games are abysmal (with the exception of Snake). - No front camera. - No premium feel - while the phone does have a cool design, the feel is of course cheap plastic. Hence the low price. - Keypad - this one is slightly personal - I wish the keypad was similar to the Nokia 3310 3G or the Nokia C5-00. The keypad on this is perfectly serviceable, but could be better. Overall, if you're trying to reduce your smartphone usage, either temporarily or permanently, this would be the perfect option for a phone. So trade in your £500 smartphone, buy this £37 one, and take a holiday.

This is early days for me, as I've had the phone for only one week. Thus this review is an interim one. I am older, but now avoid the 'phones for the elderly'; it ages me!! The phone arrived earlier than the delivery window said, and for those with concerns about packaging, mine was wrapped around in TWO padded envelopes/then an outer plastic delivery envelope/then a box! Very well packaged folks! The supplier sent two early emails to advise me that I could contact them re any problems. Not bad. I went for the yellow, which is the quintessential 8110. On appearance it is the best phone I have owned for a while now. A young friend put the SIM in for me, and I got on with the rest; not difficult. This is a DPSP as opposed to a SPDP......If I tell you the first acronym, you can work out the second. It is a Dumb Phone for Smart People...! As others have said, it makes takes phone calls. No one would ever suggest that texting on these phones can match a smart phone, but they text; it just needs more patience,--and ignoring the predictive text thing, unless you are a fan of it is better. Slider is smooth and easy on mine; I like the hidden key option. (NB: if you are have arthriticky fingers, it would not be easy to navigate the small non protruding keys; sadly not a phone for you). The jury is still out; I have to see, but on first glance/use, I like this very much, and welcome the return of this particular maker to the market. Nokia always made a good phone, and are now recognising the niche market of the uber tech' disaffected/addicted smartphone user, looking at an alternative or a back up phone. Smart move Nokia! UPDATE: My review is directed at MY seller Technolec. I paid £59.99 for the yellow phone. These comments are NOT directed at the current seller. I have contacted Amazon about the price increase of well over 100%!! Exercise caution..

So.... I owned my first smartphone in 2009, an iPhone 3GS. It was the biggest thing since the..... the biggest thing Apple had brought out before... So overall in the last 11 years, I have been an avid smartphone user, both iPhone and latterly Android handsets. In 2009 a 3GS was £300, now iPhones are fetching +£1000! As smartphones got bigger etc, my tablet hardly got any use. As such, I was forever glued to my smart phone. Id be couch scrolling whilst the TV was on, dinner time felt the need to have the phone on the table and in general what hit me hard, I was finding that it was getting in the way of time I spent with my children. Not good at all. As a society we are becoming far too reliant and addicted to smartphones. So, to break this cycle, turning off notifications etc just wouldnt be enough. I needed to unplug. How? Simple, get rid of the smartphone, or at least relegate it to a drawer and only use it on wifi when need to check something quickly such as bank balance etc. This also removed me from direct contact to social media platforms, another bug bear. The solution for me was to buy a 'dumbphone' and this unit completely fits the bill. Has 4G connectivity and can create wifi hot spots! Perfect. So if on holiday and need to take a smart device I can do, but said smart device can stay at the bottom of the bag. I have owned this for a week now, it has been refreshing. Productivity has shot up. The phone has a great battery life, phone calls are clear, I am not hassled by constant notifications of 'FOMO', and texting on it is like going back to 2005! That suits me fine as means I am not drawn into group chats on whatsapp. The phone for the cost is made well enough. I wanted the yellow but my sensible head told me to get black as yello was £20 more expensive. If same cost, I'd have gotten the yellow handset for sure. Anyway, I am hoping to use this handset for as long as it lasts as I am now breaking free from the smartphone mould and bi-annual 'upgrades'..... 'Dump your smartphone....'

Likes: Small and easy to set up and use. Volume is great and does exactly what I needed, send and receive calls domestically. I am going to the UK and France, so I'll see if its duel sim feature preforms just as well. I have had the phone for about 2 weeks and have only had to charge it once. Battery life is very good. I confess I turned off all non-essential features so I can't address there fuctionality and I don't play the snake game! Dis-likes: I really can't complain about any phone features, Oh just one thing, the phone is a Nokia and the provided user manual was all in Vietnamese. This is not a show stopper as the internet provided all the insturctions and manuels I needed in my native tongue! The phone charger is also of the international type but I have an adapter for demestic use, so for me, this was not an issue. This might be a problem for someone who does not have an adaptor!

Nunca llegó, Me mandaron mensajes que había llegado dañado y nunca me dieron otro

Apparently this phone only works in one part of America, and it's a terrible place. I really wanted this to work because it's novel and I'm trying to unplug a bit from social media. Got a 3310 3G instead and I love it.

In contrast to other review I received Model TA-1071 single SIM which registered fine to KPN 4G. Came with KaiOS 12 and upgraded to release 16 (which offers Whatsapp support) after placing a SIM in the device. At the current (low) price this is a good deal for a basic backup hardly-any-feature phone that will also double as 4G hotspot.
