NOKIA GO BACK TO THE FUTURE

-

The Mobile World Congress has been under way all this week in Barcelona. And the oohs and aahs were loudest, once again, for Nokia. This year, they unveiled smartphone­s for all ages and budgets. Among them was the top -of-the-line, Nokia 8 Scirocco, selling for €749. But the 8110 4G wowed most. Many of us remember Keanu Reeves using the original in The Matrix and it’s back, and has been upgraded for 4G networks. Ideal as a travel or spare phone, it even has the original Snake game and will sell for €79. Samsung showed off the Galaxy S9 and S9+. With 5.8 and 6.2-inch screens, Samsung have focused mostly on improving the camera, adding better low-light performanc­e and a super-slow motion mode. Sony debuted two new sleek handsets, the 5.7-inch XZ2 and slightly smaller XZ2 Compact. Meanwhile, Huawei unveiled a laptop called the MateBook X Pro. It has a power button that doubles as a fingerprin­t sensor.
