Nokia 5110 review

Network and connections

The model called 5110 is one of the oldest cell phones from the manufacturer Nokia. It was in fact presented back in 1998, when owning a cell phone was still the prerogative of a few. Thus, this model (even earlier than the "legendary" 3210 and 3310) integrates only one single connectivity, namely GSM on the single frequency of 900 Mhz.

Design and features

Typical design of older-concept cell phones: a non-integrated antenna that sticks out from the body in the upper right part, a monobloc look with very high dimensions and weight. There is a single monochrome display with 5 lines of text. The phone weighs as much as 170 grams, has a height of 132 millimeters, a width of 47.5 millimeters, and a very high thickness of 31 millimeters. The total volume is 143 cc. The most effective battery among the various ones available offers battery life of 5-8 hours of talk time and up to 450 hours in stand-by.

Main functions

The range of functions beyond simple calling is truly very limited. The phone integrates an alarm clock and a clock. The menu can be displayed in as many as 28 different languages. The available color is Gray, but with covers it is possible to change the phone's look. The 5110 model allows storage of the last 8 calls made and the last 5 missed or received calls.

Entertainment and multimedia

It is impossible to talk about multimedia features for a cell phone presented in 1998. Entertainment is also decidedly scarce, with only three built-in games, Memory, Snake and Logic, offering something to the user. The ringtones are monophonic and available in a number of 30. Given the absence of connections, it is impossible to add new games or ringtones. Messaging is limited to sending and receiving the classic SMS.
