The Nokia 1100, one of the best-selling mobile phones ever made, is making a comeback. According to Radiofonica 100.7, the classic handset has been reissued in a new version for the current market.
Multiple outlets, including Infobae and Clarin.com, report that the relaunched device carries a price of roughly US$32. The new model keeps the familiar, old-school design that made the original a global phenomenon, but it also adds at least one modern capability: the phone can charge other devices, a function that requires a specific activation step, per Infobae.
The return of the 1100 fits a broader trend of consumers gravitating toward simpler, more durable phones. As lu17.com notes, the new model is also being described with a focus on extended battery performance, with one report referencing up to 40 days of standby time. That kind of longevity is a stark contrast to modern smartphones, which typically need daily charging.
