Do you think WhatsApp can only work on smartphones? Think again! Apparently, the banana phone Nokia 8810 4G is going to get WhatsApp support soon! Keep reading for more details.
Nokia 8810 4G to Get WhatsApp Support
HMD Global has now officially teased WhatsApp support for the ‘banana’ phone – Nokia 8110 4G. The phone, which was unveiled at MWC 2018 as the successor to the legendary Nokia 8110, runs Smart Feature OS (based on KaiOS). Also, it gives access to apps such as Google Assistant, Google Search, and Google Maps as well as includes a revamped Snake game. It does not have support for WhatsApp yet. But that might change soon.
While the Jio Phone is very popular in India with over 25 million subscribers, HMD Global will directly take on the giant if it introduces competitive features like WhatsApp support. Supporting for more popular apps, both the Jio Phone and Nokia 8810 4G can give competition to several low-end smartphones. Notably, it’s unclear how the KaiOS version of WhatsApp will differ from messenger’s Android or iOS apps in terms of functionality.
Regarding Nokia 8110 4G specs, the device sports a 2.4-inch QVGA (160 x 120 pixels) display. The screen is fine for reading texts and viewing basic images and games, but not works of art or movies. This handset also features a headphone jack and FM radio app and a 2MP rear snapper with a single LED flash (first appeared in Original series). Meanwhile, there is no front-facing option. You also get a Qualcomm 205 chipset, 512MB RAM and 4GB ROM. The interesting part is the availability of 4G connectivity and a WiFi hotspot that your phone, tablet or laptop can connect.
Nokia 8110 4G release date and price
Nokia 8110 4G is already available now with a price tag less than $100 ~ Rs. 6,506. However, this phone is more expensive than the 3310 reboot for the design (a distinctive banana-like curve and sliding section).
