Nokia

Nokia has a fresh batch of value-for-money Android smartphones, with the new devices led by the brand's first 5G-capable handset, the Nokia 8.3 5G – a phone you'll be able to see in the next Bond film when it arrives in November.

The current trend for smartphones seems to be all about cramming more and more cameras in. At Mobile World Congress this week, the crown was stolen by the Nokia 9 PureView, which has no less than six cameras – five on the back and one on the front.

The fact is smartphones are pretty useful – but that’s as nothing compared to the phones of yore! In those days, phones were real phones – you made calls on them, sent the odd text, and anything else was a bonus. They were just better. Here are five of the finest that prove it beyond any doubt.

As smartphones get smarter, they get more expensive, but they don’t need to. New Atlas compares the specs and features of some of the best phones you can buy for under $300 – ​the iPhone SE, LG K30, Huawei Mate SE, Nokia 6.1, ZenFone 5Q (or 5 Lite), and the Moto G6.

Cell coverage on Earth may not be as comprehensive as it could be, but that isn't stopping Vodafone and Nokia from setting up the Moon's first 4G network. The data-streaming network will provide communications support for an unmanned lander/rover mission by PTScientists scheduled to launch in 2019.

The biggest names in mobile devices are in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018, and the resurgent Nokia has just unveiled five new devices for 2018 – three mainstream Android handsets, one budget Android Go phone, and another rebooted classic from Nokia's past.

The name “Nokia” packs plenty of nostalgia, and now almost 20 years on, parent company HMD has rebooted one of its most iconic models – the Nokia 3310 – as a simple phone with a few modern concessions. But does it stand the test of time, or is it better left in the past?

​Back in February, HMD Global managed to send a slight tremor of excitement through the mobile tech world with the announcement of an updated version of Nokia's much-loved workhorse, the 3310, at Mobile World Congress​. Now the nostalgic novelty is being made available with 3G cooked in.​

​The first fully-fledged Nokia phone in a few years is about to land, and the fact that the company has skipped 7 to call the new model the Nokia 8 implies it doesn’t want to sound like it’s a generation behind its competitors. So just how well does it stack up against the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+?

Nokia is making a comeback under its new owners, but the former king of mobile phones will has a lot of ground to make up if it wants to reclaim that crown. Here, we put the new flagship Nokia 8 up against the iPhone 7.

The Nokia brand is back, under the watchful eye of Finnish firm HMD Global, and the "new" Nokia just got its first flagship phone: the Android-powered Nokia 8. Fitted with high-end components, a premium camera and a 5.3-inch OLED display, it could have enough to take on the market's biggest players.

As if having the Nokia brand back wasn't enough of a nostalgia hit for mobile lovers, new owners HMD Global have also brought back one of the most beloved phones of the past: the Nokia 3310. New Atlas got some hands-on time with it at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
