- "Matrix Phone." "Banana Phone." "Shameless appeal to nostalgia." Whatever your preferred nomenclature, Nokia calls it the "8110 4G." It's a modernized revamp of the original Nokia 8110, the mobile phone that first popularized the slider form factor back in 1997. And for sentimental suckers like MrMobile, it's 79 Euros as good as spent. Join me for the Nokia 8110 4G Hands-On!

When I heard Nokia made this phone again I *knew* you would make a video on this.
And I knew I would watch it right away, and here I am
Mx Jonson and I knew you would comment right away, thats why I am here
HUNT3R VEYRON I knew you would comment to Mx Jonson's comment right away, that why I am here
Kevin Hosford I have officially started something haven't I?
Nostradamus is that you?
this is what called rhyming Man!!!!!
Damn! Nokia really bringing back them oldies but goldies
not Nokia but HMD
Nokia/HMD bringing back electronic waste. Buy a second-hand phone instead.
It's difficult to find a second-hand phone with a 2 weeks of battery life. My current phone doesn't last a day of use without running out of battery. I need an another phone for just being reachable and this is going to be it. I have so many good memories with my original Nokia banana phone.

This phone way better than my iPhone. Seriously
Nokia is giving people who want long battery life what they want. Who else in Mobile is doing this ?
Besides it's a nice change from nondescript slabs of glass and metal all trying to outdo each other .
There was a reason Nokia were the #1 selling mobile phones of all time. I've had many since my first in 2000 and they earned the reputation for good durable phones .
Good job Nokia ! Bring the 8110 to the US please !
Camera looks awesome. iPhone 3G better watch its back.
Edit: I totally forgot about Sliders. Man, what a great show. Now I wanna watch it again.
Would definitely buy if it's spring loaded. The spring loaded phone is soooooo cool in the movie.
Sliders is really good! Now I want to watch it again as well
Snazzy Labs I like your sarcasm here ....we are currently in iPhone 11 era now and this crap's camera quality is comparable to the then 2008 iPhone 3g .....
I love all the nerdy TV show references 💪🏻👍🏼😂. Keep up the great work! Got my eyes peeled for all notifications 😎🤓
SUDDEN-DEATH-GAMING who buys it
Yeah, that's what you get when you're Married with Children 😅.
This, sir, might be your best performance ever! The commentary is perfect and the 90s references are insane!!! Great Work.

i wish car makers would take this approach to new cars, bring back the old models we love with a new wealth of knowledge
burnzy3210 we can only dream! Unfortunately there are too many regulations to do that nowadays unlike phones.
Honda motorcycle did revive classic Super Cub
The Volkswagen New Beetle.
Volkswagen New Beetle, Mini, Fiat 500, Mercedes Benz SLS, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Ford GT, Ford Mustang, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Camaro, Plymouth Prowler, Chrysler PT Cruiser, list goes on.
burnzy3210
Agree
Laughed hard and liked when he was talking with reference to those TV shows
I should get this for my dad who has only ever used a flip phone...
Oh wait. It's only in Europe and China.
Flipping is classier than sliding. Seeing someone trying to slide a phone one handed through an airport with luggage in the other hand and a bag under his arm as he keeps shakeweighting a slider phone going 'hello? John hello? Goddamit' arm flailing harder as he drops his briefcase and for some reason marbles are spilling everywhere and his phone flies out of his hand and snaps in two, breaking him down into tears.... Well it's not a sight for 2018. This was his ringtone BTW. th-cam.com/video/PQJjx19sRbs/w-d-xo.html
"Shakeweighting a slider phone." Pure fucking poetry. A+
Krystal Myth hahaha that was gold ringtone perfectly fits the phone design should be official ringtone on it
Get him a z flip lmao
Nokia sure loves Nostalgia. First, the *ULTRA DURABLE* Nokia 3310, and now the Matrix Phone????
and in future the whole Nseries family since they already registered Nseries again they know they sell the best
I couldn't care less about the feature, advance tech and all the bull, I just need the physical durability and lengthy battery life !
FTW NOKIA !!!!
When i saw the new 3310 it looked so fragile and i wanted to kill HMD. after i bought the new 3310 i realised it was more durable than the original one!!!
When i see the new 8110 it looks so fragile, I'm not gonna make the same mistake this time tho.
Agree, I own the new 3310 as well and frankly quite amazed with its durability, and more important I don't have to carry charger or extra battery anywhere I go as it would never fail me on low battery issues.
Never been a fan of modern smartphone like android and such, as I rarely use the feature anyway, where I only did utilize the basic texting and direct call,
Unsophisticated Nokia is a perfect phone for a being like me~
I dropped my 3310 the other day . It hit the ground and the cover popped off. Just snapped it back on and ready to go.
I still use a n95 haha
Just got one for my birthday. That thing has all the applications I need and that makes it an excellent back up phone.
It makes an excellent only phone. If you want apps, twitter, facebook and sex cams buy a computer.
Shame Nokia didn't include the spring mechanism to answer phone :-) Definitely buying 1 though :-)
It would've been perfect if they spring mechanism. I still remember how cool and premium it was with my dad's Nokia 7110 back in a day. So classy.
I had one :-)
My mom almost bought a 7110 as her first phone but the only sample they had in the store had its sliding mechanism broken ... So she went to another store got a Sony CMD-J5. Great phone, with greyscale display and nice UI but if we went back to 2001 I'd be searching for another 7110.
danijel3672 That broken model is what we call foreshadowing lol. Spring releases are dopamine injectors to the user, but the arthritis inducer in the phone. Springs get loose, snap, kink, tangle, corrode, and sometimes vanish without a trace. Still it's 2018, I'd have hoped someone said 'hold my beer' and figured out a way to make it happen anyway ... But no. Sliders aren't classy. Flip phones are classier than sliders. Springloaders being people back to switch blades, which are illegal and who doesn't want to get that I could get tackled onto the pavement by some frustrated cop because of how cool my phone is feeling.
Speaking of sliders, I liked the two-way-slider concept of Nokias N95/N96/N85/N86.
Literally seconds of fun to be had with that slider and slice of nostalgia.
Kudos for the pseudo-Star Wars ‘its an older code’ reference to the port.
Everything old, is new agian
Hemish Joseph just like fashion
Chosen Architect makes you think when the "real" next tech revolution will actually happen because everything now is a rehash
Hemish Joseph tech revolution? As in phones? Because there are so many things that have happened yesterday, I choose to ignore 😄
Hemish Joseph vintage is the keyword
Legends never die💪😆
I used this for 1 year now, absolutely I love this especially in calls! Very clear hd voice. And for hotspots also.
Please tell me about details of batt Backup? On calling purposes and with using data as well ?
IF the Matrix was rebooted (no pun intended) they should use this new/old phone XD
it is
Will never go wrong when referencing 90's nostalgia, thanks
But can it give you physics bending abilities?
OMG is this real ? I can't tell you how many memories your video brings back Michael. I was very happy using an Ericcson A1018s at that time , my parents couldn't afford to buy me the banana phone but now I can afford to buy the new one ! I can't wait to get my hands on it . Thank you for the video !
"It's an old port sir, but it checks out" :O STAR WARS REFERENCE!
At just under $100, this is going to be a really cool *burner* *phone* for making all my shady deals in style.
cellular, modular, interactivodular
My purchase of the banana phone would definitely be based on hype 😂
Now we are waiting for the 9X00 communicator refresh.
Nokia E7 was already revived as F(x)tec Pro 1. Too bad it costs 720 Euros.
I love that you have a hands-on about this particular device! Thanks Michael. I want this phone!
Love the Star Wars reference, "It's an older port but it checks out okay."
Nokia, please send this to the States! If Google maps has turn by turn navigation, I'm sold.
Come on NOKIA!
Give us a new 5310 ExpressMusic!!
One of the best phones ever. Deserves a second life!
I had already seen a video about this phone, but not the mrmobile way. this was thousands of times better
0:36 Erm, mine had a spring loaded action. It felt awesome answering a call with that action.
love your videos
Ok, I will
Malayali :0
Nokia is really pulling no punches when striking with nostalgia loaded moves
Mr. Mobile of TH-cam I've been watching you since you were Captain2Phones of Pocketnow. Miss the days of you, Brandon, Joe, and Anton.
I think this was so cool! Another amazing video, Mr. Mobile, and Nokia seems to know what exactly it's audiences want
I'ts an older meme, Sir.
I was about to upvote it.
Shall I downvote it?
.....
- No, let it be.
As you wish, My Lord.
Upvote it.
I hope this comes to the US. I have a tablet and laptop for my high-power needs. Something simple in my pocket would be refreshing.
As a mature minimalist this phone is perfect for me. I really like the slider that protects the keys, preventing me from butt dialling. Unfortunately they're no longer sold in England. Come on Nokia! Let's have some new slider phones and flip phones that are stylish.
No one can beat your presentation... 😀
I've used the 8110 4G since launch but never done a review of it. For a while one section of keys tended to double-tap, then it moved onto another set of keys, now it's reliable and that's the one and only complaint I can raise. It splits in three parts if it flies out of my pocket and onto a hard surface but I put it together again, as if new! Clear on both ends of a call. Best under $100 deal there is, unless you're in an Android-or-nothing situation.
That would be nice to see Nokia Communicator series remade next time.
Unfortunately it doesn't have the spring loaded slider like from the Matrix.
Something I could give for my mom-my loving babyboomer.
Great to see that some loved models are coming back.
Watching this... the only thing i can think about is.... oh how the mighty have fallen...
I owned the Nokia 8110 back in the 90s the buttons were very small and fiddly to press, screen very small the new model appears to address this. Very lightweight and for me fairlyeasy to carry in a trousers pocket. Good to see these phones and pdas (Gemini from Planet Computers) making a comeback, even for pure nostalgia.
Just bought one and I am really happy with it
I'm a huge fan of Nokia doing what it does best. I just hope enough people need feature phones to keep the company afloat!
It's so odd to see OEM's developing feature phones in a tech world ruled by who has the sharpest 18:9 display and who can pack the most cameras in a phone. Simplicity is refreshing
damn those references deserve some love! thumbs up to our favourite iron man impersonator!
Nokia re launched this phone. Someway it found it's way to the past. Someone found this phone there and managed to made a rough version of this which was launched in 97 by Nokia. And the cycle repeats.
*Maybe*
I had a pretty rough day and I'm feeling exhausted but u know only thing that can cheer me is a Mr mobile video , cheers to the work ur doing man
Wow thank you for bringing me back to highschool... 20 years ago
This phone was superb. Perfect for a minimalistic livestyle. It was a pleasure for me to review it at my channel. From the integration of HTML5 Kaios apps and the sliding mechanism as well as the yellow banana design. The camera was acceptable too. Awesome for a feature phone.
those 90's tv series references where hilarious .. good job...
Mr Mobile just got uploaded to the matrix.
Awesome Background Sound Track 🤘
This phone is beautiful and classic at the same time
Nostalgia at its finest.. need to get me one!
1:48! I love Star Wars and got that reference to ROTJ instantly! “It’s an older code, sir, but it checks out.” Also, at 2:30 I don’t know if you were going for a TPM reference (“Now this is podracing!”), but if you were, I caught that one too.
I want this more than the s9plus
c122 h122 s9 is better but nokia is the most precious and the king of all phones
I wonder what % of your audience is old enough to remember these phones ? The Napster reference was classic!
Man I wasn't expecting the Angry Beavers reference in this video. That show was my favorite as a kid.
Oo I'm definitely buying this. Nostalgia is strong with this one.
Wish I could like this harder for the Angry Beavers joke.
Perfect gift for dads. 😊
Those references and Napster too. Nice touch.
MKBHDs new phone for April Fools Day😂😂
I'd get one, the yellow one of course!
The candy bar meets slider banana phone... #legend...
Ring ring ring, BANANA PHONE ! :D
Mannnn, I miss the old internet lol
As soon as I can flash it to Sailfish I'll get this phone... ohhh feature phones! So happy
Is it bad that I’m hyped for this phone? This is one of my all time favorites!
maybe i drank too much but you have the ultimate dad jokes for phones.. i like you vids btw
thumbs up for 2:00-2:10... that right there wins you the best preview video for this phone. Fortunately or unfortunately I am old enough to have watched those Tv shows when they aired originally in the UK
The yellow colour makes it such a eye-pop.
You're getting an upvote just for those 90's references.
I had the 7110 which was sorting loaded. It was a great phone
3 weeks of standby. King is king.
I wish more and more services like Napster. Those were the days!
Love you’re video Mr Mobile I even watch old video. Very original and more entertaining than anything on tv now a days.
The Intro 👍💪
name?
Ring ring ring ring ring
Banana phone!
I hope nokia relive the Nokia N Series with 4g that phones were awesome
I definitely would have gone bananas if this phone was released in 1997, back then I was using an old AudioVox MVX 502
bro, the spring slide action from the matrix was what made the phone cool.lol
they least they could do with the new version is giving it the spring action, and give the camera 4-8mp lol
Oh God, not another nostalgia phone!
Hey if by some way Nokia refreshes the sidekick XL, I will cry. Sidekick- the first true Android phone
When people keep questioning “why this even exists?”, “why tho?”. They actually help Nokia reach the purpose of this phone. Getting back on people’s talk and head. And someone who doesnt know about Nokia Android will reply “yea, totally”, and others will tell “well, Nokia has the Android line up as well”. And then “woa, really? I’ll google it”.
And yea, one more potential customer.
This hands-on intead of the Sirocco? This sh*t is bananas
Miguel Medina Your comment was featured on his video on the Sirocco.
Legend is Back congrats Nokia Reborn👍👌✌️🇵🇭
2:26 I'm back with my previous keypad! History scored A++!
I had two Nokia phones and they were so great the 3310 l do have fond memories of 😃😃
If this phone was compatible with T-Mobile's network I was legit gonna buy it for hikes and days outside.
If it had the spring loaded slider, I would buy it.
Would be so cool to have one of these around to take a break from the smartphone tbh. I'll snag one if they come to the states for sure!
1:59 Oh wow, all those 90s TV show name jokes...
After getting this phone its peanut-butter jelly time!
Also, if you get one. Make sure to get a rip of the Bananaphone song. Extra nostalgia.
Matrix was 20 years ago? Yikes! I feel extra old now.
The UK version of the original WAS spring loaded... old enough to remember it well!
