Nokia 888 Review

Nokia introduced a bold concept of flexiblesmartphone, which remained at the level of the concept. This is the phone Nokia 888. Its feature is the shape in the form of a bracelet. Thanks to this form, the smartphone could be worn on the arm as an ornament.

Specifications

It is certainly not known what characteristicsmust have this smartphone. However, the images of the concept clearly show that the Nokia 888 has a long display that extends all over the outside. He also planned to equip him with a camera for video communication.

As for the processor, it is notreached. It is difficult to say which manufacturer could develop a processor for working in such a thin and bendable body. Also there is no data about the amount of RAM, video core. But no one disputes this, because Nokia 888 exists only at the level of the concept.

If you consider this phone as a convenientfunctional decoration, then it is not bad. However, as the phone does not fit. First, even if we imagine that this concept will have at least those functions that are now available in budget smartphones, developers will not be able to implement a flexible display in any way. So far, such a development is only at the level of tests and tests. Samsung recently published a video with a new flexible display that flexes and returns to its original position without damage.

There are also doubts about the implementationmodern processor in a flexible phone housing, and even such a thin, as shown in the photos. And we do not talk about the battery. This is generally the weak point of any modern phone. Even relatively weak phones with conventional HD-displays consume a lot of energy. Batteries in this case occupy about 50% of weight and volume. So far, even modern technologies do not allow creating such a flexible smartphone, although the idea is quite beautiful.

Modern analogues Nokia 888

Such smartphones do not exist today. However, there are fitness bracelets and smart watches, which are similar in performance and functionality to the device. Just like the Nokia 888, they show the time received SMS, events in the social network. Some watches even have a microphone, which allows you to answer calls and talk with your interlocutor (even though it looks strange), and most importantly - they are worn on the wrist.

Reviews about Nokia 888 are contradictory. Although no one has ever used this phone, people have shared with those who liked this concept, and those who did not like it at all. It is difficult to argue with the fact that it has a number of shortcomings, although it looks very stylish and expensive.

These parameters Nokia 888 could not have due to their physical characteristics.
