I Would Cop This New Yet 'Old' Nokia Feature Phone
Remember when Nokia phones used to be “immortal,” with their lithium batteries lasting for weeks, indestructible bodies, and those changeable keypads? For a long time, Nokia was the world’s leading phone manufacturer. But everything changed in 2007 when Apple released the iPhone, a disruptor that would change communication forever. Fifteen years after the smartphone revolution that nearly erased Nokia from relevance, the beloved Finnish brand is winning hearts again.
HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, launches in the Nokia 5710 Xpress Audio—a new feature phone that celebrates the XpressMusic heritage and comes with detachable wireless earbuds that are stored and charged within the phone itself. The innovative design is paired with loudspeakers, audio control buttons, and a big battery to bring seamless audio. It brings back the old charm that Nokia phones had in the ’90s and 2000s: signature durability, robustness, and practicality.
A Battery That Lasts for Weeks on Standby
When I had my Nokia 3210 back in 1999, I did not need to charge it for weeks. The phone did not really have a powerful battery like today’s smartphones, it’s just that the phone was really efficient at conserving battery life. The Nokia 5710 Xpress Audio has a similar power lifespan: The 1450mAh battery delivers hours of talk and playback time and lasts for weeks on standby.
The phone’s speakers has great audio, but the detachable wireless earbuds offer another level of convenience. When not in use, the earbuds are housed beneath a sleek and robust slider on the back of the phone- saving your pocket so you won’t lose the earbuds. It also allows you to charge on the go.
“By incorporating wireless earbuds, boosting the battery, having dedicated audio control keys, and powering up to 4G, all much needed features of music lovers and millions of people who rely on feature phones for daily communication are met with extreme convenience completely on-the-go,” says Sancho Chak, Nokia’s general manager for Philippines.
The feature phone’s stylish design has a rounded shape specifically to improve grip. The Nokia 5710 XpressAudio has gone through rigorous testing to ensure it meets the exacting durability standards so it can keep performing and continue to look great for a long time.
The Nokia 5710 Xpress Audio in black/red colour variant can be purchased for only P4,190 in all Nokia mobile authorized resellers online and physical stores nationwide starting September 30. Fans can get this new feature phone for pre-order with Php 200 off exclusively at the Nokia mobile store in Shopee only from September 23 until September 30 only.
