Yes, Nokia did it again.

Last year, the brand made a big comeback at MWC for announcing a 3310 rerelease. This year, they had another big announcement.

Remember the Nokia 8110? Let me remind you with scenes from The Matrix.

Yep, that’s Keanu Reaves as Neo in the hit 90s movie. And what’s that he’s holding?

Here’s a closer look at the featured Nokia phone plummeting from a building in that iconic scene.

Well, that phone is making a comeback. Nokia has just unveiled the 8110 4G.Dubbed the “banana phone” during the 90s, the 2018 version comes in black and a fun yellow color. This 4G version is capable of creating hotspots and it can load apps like Facebook. The handset will also be able to link to your calendar, contacts and it, of course, comes with Snake. Like any feature phone, its true selling point comes in the form of battery efficiency — it can stay on for a whopping 25 days on standby.

It will roll out starting May and will cost only EUR 70.

Big props to Nokia! They managed to get me excited over a phone from the 90s… again.

Two years after making its big comeback, Nokia is slowly filling in the pieces of its Android smartphone lineup. The star of course has to be the new Nokia 8 Sirocco, the most premium from the announcements at Mobile World Congress.

But our favorite is the Nokia 7 Plus, a near-borderless Android One phone with Zeiss optics and a beautiful build.

A new color, internal camera upgrades, and a few minor changes here and there don’t necessarily make the S9 look or feel new.

But is retaining the same beautiful, sleek design such a bad thing? Are the subtle improvements worth the high price tag? Is AR Emoji a gimmick?

YouTubers Mrwhosetheboss, Joshua Vergara, GadgetsBoy, GadgetsJon, The Tech Chap, David Imel, PC Centric, and Isa Rodriguez tell us what they think about the the Samsung Galaxy S9.
