Nokia brings back the 8110 slide phone from The Matrix

Nokia is hoping to bring the magic back by reviving the iconic 8110 from the film in the form of a 4G feature phone. 

The 8110 4G features the curved banana body from two decades ago, but it’s dropped the antenna and is also a fair bit smaller. As with the original, you can slide the keypad cover down to receive a call, and slide it back up to end the call.

There’s also a 2.4-inch color screen (320 x 240 pixels) with which to run apps on KaiOS (which was forked from Firefox OS), including a take on the classic Snake game. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm 205 chip, with 512MB RAM, and also comes with a 2-megapixel camera.

Nokia claims that you can get up to 25 days of standby time on a single charge with the 8110. That, along with its dual SIM support, could make it a handy device to carry around when you travel.
