According to Nokia, the re-launch this year was purposely orchestrated to coincide with the 20th anniversary since it first launched. This new model features a 2.8-inch display against a 1.8-inch screen on the original model. It is powered by a UNISOC 6531F processor and has 8MB of RAM and 16MB of storage. it runs the Series 30+ (S30+) operating system.

Top stories from last week: Axon 30, Huawei P50 series, Nothing ear (1), Motorola Edge 20 series, and more

July is over and while it was pretty long, it did pack some interesting announcements. The last week of the mount was also packed with product announcements alongside some really interesting news. Here’s a recap of last week’s top stories:

Xiaomi global event

Xiaomi announced a handful of new products for the global markets on Monday, July 26. The list includes the Mi Router AX9000 gaming router, Mi 2K Gaming Monitor 27”, the Redmi Buds 3 Pro, the Mi Electric Scooter 3, and the Mi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L.

New Nokia phones

HMD Global announced a trio of new Nokia phones. Top of the line is the Nokia XR20, the first Nokia-branded 5G rugged smartphone. There is also the Nokia C30, an entry-level Android smartphone, and last but not the list is the rebirth of the classic Nokia 6310. The manufacturer also announced about a dozen new earphones.

OPPO Watch 2

OPPO made its foray into the wearable market last year with the OPPO Watch and the OPPO Band fitness tracker. It has now followed up the former with a successor called the OPPO Watch 2 and it comes with a dual operating system and dual-chip design and a starting price that converts to about $200.

No OnePlus 9T?

Starting with the OnePlus 3T in 2016, OnePlus has made it a tradition to announce a T-variant of its flagship phone(s) for that year. It turns out that may not happen this year as a trusted leaker has revealed that OnePlus isn’t going to announce a OnePlus 9T.

MediaTek Kompanio 1300T

MediaTek announced a new chipset in its Kompanio series, its line of processors designed for Chromebooks. However, the new Kompani o 1300T won’t be appearing first in a Chromebook but the upcoming Honor V7 Pro tablet.

ZTE Axon 30 5G

ZTE announced the Axon 30 5G in China, its newest smartphone to feature an in-display camera. ZTE claims the camera technology has been improved significantly compared to the Axon 20 from last year. The phone will get an international release in September.

Nothing in your ears!

The Nothing ear (1) is official and it was one of the most-talked-about product announcements last week. The new earbuds from Carl Pei’s new company bring a new design to the earbuds space. It also offers a lot for $99!

Nokia is making a tablet

Remember the Nokia N1 tablet released in 2015? It wasn’t much of a success but Nokia wants to give tablets another chance. Who can blame them considering the market has seen renewed interest. The new tablet will launch as the Nokia T20 and will have a 10.36-inch among other features including its price tag that leaked last week.

More than 10 million PS5s sold but I still don’t have one

Sony revealed that it has sold more than 10 million PlayStation 5 units since the console went on sale in November last year, making it its fastest-selling console. That is pretty impressive considering supply issues have caused a scarcity.

OPPO Reno6 Pro+ Detective Conan Edition

The Reno6 Pro+ got a custom edition themed after the popular manga, Detective Conan. What is interesting about this device is its electrochromic back which changes color when you double-tap on the back.

Huawei P50 series – a latecomer with no 5G

Huawei’s P50 series finally launched last week but the two new phones don’t have 5G support. The Huawei P50 (powered by the Snapdragon 888), and the Huawei P50 Pro (available in Kirin 9000 and Snapdragon 888 variants) are proof that Huawei’s problems are far from over. They feature a new design and pack impressive cameras (that already top DxOMark’s list) along with other flagship-grade specs but their lack of 5G support may make them a tough sell. However, a 5G variant of the pro model is expected to launch later.

Huawei also announced a new smart speaker, a smart display for kids, the Watch GT2 Pro, Band 6 Pro, and new TVs including its largest yet.

Motorola Edge 20 series – flat OLED displays and 108MP cameras

The trio of the Motorola Edge 20 Pro, Edge 20, and Edge 20 Lite were announced last week in Europe. The phones share some similarities such as a 6.67-inch OLED FHD+ display (albeit with different refresh rates) as well as 108MP primary rear cameras and the same fast charging technology but that is pretty much where it ends. You get different processors across the board, different battery capacities, and more.

The Nokia 6310 returns in an elegant new body for €60

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 27 Jul 2021 00:41:52 +0000

HMD Global has made it a tradition to relaunch classic Nokia feature phones since it got the license for the Nokia brand name a few years ago. Today, the latest classic phone to get a modern release is the Nokia 6310. The 2021 edition comes in an elegant but familiar new body.

The new Nokia 6310 keeps the candy bar design of the original launched back in 2001 but with some modern additions. While the claw-like speaker grille of the original would have been nice, the new version settles for a simple horizontal slit for the earpiece. Gone is the monochrome 6-line display and in its place is a curved color one that is also bigger. The 2021 version also packs a rear camera.

With respect to its specs, the Nokia 6310 has a 2.8-inch display. It is powered by a UNISOC 6531F processor and has 8MB of RAM and 16MB of storage. The spec sheet says it runs the Series 30+ (S30+) operating system. The icons are bigger and the menu is zoomed in to make it easier to read. There is also an accessibility mode that even further simplifies the menu.

The video advert shows the Nokia 6310 in three colors but users will only be able to purchase the phone in Black and Dark Green. I know a lot of folks will agree that the latter is the finest of them all.

You can pick up the Nokia 6310 for €59.90 in Europe on the official Nokia Mobile website.
