Nokia announced its Banana phone – the Nokia 8110 4G at MWC this year. The company had promised to bring it to India along with several other models. While those other smartphones did launch earlier, it is only now that the Nokia 8110 4G has been officially released in the country. The handset is a feature phone brought back from Nokia’s glorious past to cash in on the nostalgia factor and comes with the slider mechanism that was on the ancient model.

Speaking of hardware, the Nokia 8110 4G has a 2.45-inch QVGA (240×320 pixels) curved screen display. Under the hood, it runs Qualcomm’s 1.1GHz Snapdragon 205 SoC, paired with 512MB of LPDDR3 RAM. It has 4GB of inbuilt storage with no room for microSD cards. That’s to be expected of a feature phone.
