Nokia 5110 Review
The Nokia 5110 was built into a new shape with more curves than the older Nokia 2110 which was a ‘block’ of a phone. The 5110 was a bit heavier at 170 g (6.00 oz) and came with the standard 
monochrome graphic screen with a 5 line resolution. The call records was a compromise between the last two mobile phone they brought to market as came with 8 dialed, 5 received, 5 missed calls ability.
The hallmark of the Nokia 5110 was it ability to fit covers over them. This became a new industry which was spun off from the mobile phone trend setters. In Asia you would find stores that just sold covers. Even today the mobile phone covers are a big seller. Over the years even these covers evolved. Many covers for mobile phones today as sold with a rubber type covering which protects the phone during an accidental fall. Very few would know which phone actually set the trend in 1998 that is still common today – The Nokia 5110. The phone also brought the clock and alarm to the industry as standard.
Hardware
The Nokia 5110 originally came with a Li-Po 600 mAh battery, giving us about 2 hours of talk time. Despite this, we still found ourselves charging the phones daily. However, as we look back at the evolution of Nokia phones, we see changes in battery technology and how it impacted the mobile phone market.
Interestingly, the Nokia 5110 remains a solid choice today, mainly because of its user-friendly buttons. These buttons are not only large but also firm, making it a great option for those dealing with arthritis. As we reflect on Nokia’s history and the development of mobile phones, it’s evident how new technologies like Lithium Polymer batteries have shaped the market.
Considering the Nokia 5110’s enduring popularity, it raises the question of whether Nokia could reintroduce some of its unique features. For instance, the ability to turn off the phone and receive a notification about missed calls upon restart could be a handy feature. Additionally, bringing back auto-answer, especially for people who spend a lot of time driving, could add practical value. See also the Nokia 8110 Review and Nokia 3110 Review.
It’s curious why mobile phone manufacturers sometimes seem disconnected from the preferences of their users. The Nokia 5110, even today, maintains an excellent reputation and holds a decent second-hand price. Perhaps there’s room for manufacturers to take cues from successful and well-liked models, incorporating features that users appreciate and find useful.
