诺基亚还是记忆里比较耐用,很好的手机,尽管它的王者地位不在,我们仍然期待着它的归来。因为我们想念过去把体积小小的它握在手中的感觉,想念贪吃蛇游戏,想念可触摸到的物理按键,想念那种熟悉的铃声······
Nokia had it all from bar phones to flip phones to slide phones and even released all sorts of gaming phones and business phones. But all of them had more or less the same distinctive qualities and features that make former users long for some old-fashioned Nokia handset. Here are some of them.
Durability —— 耐用性
这一条大概是很关键的一点吧,还经常听到有人用诺基亚开核桃的。另外,现在的智能手机确实不耐摔,内屏和外屏很容易碎,换个屏又要上百。诺基亚就没有这种问题啦,尤其对于一些经常不小心摔手机的男生来说。O(∩_∩)O
There are no regular phones that are as tough and sturdy as Nokia handsets. They can sustain and survive years of bumps, drops and accidental throws. Nokia phones are the tortoises of the mobile industry.
Battery life ——电池寿命
Old Nokia phones lasted for up to seven days (待机可持续7天)depending on usage and model. Some handsets even lasted up to a day with the “low battery” notification constantly going off every few minutes. Modern smartphones typically last for about 24 hours, which is why power banks are essential nowadays.
Physical keys —— 物理按键
物理按键有时会满足心理上的一种体验感。比如说,电脑的键盘在一定时间内不会被触屏所取代。尤其是打游戏的人一定会喜欢网吧里那种凹凸有致的按键感。
Typing messages is faster and easier with Nokia feature phones because users can actually feel the keys. The buttons are spaced apart just right for those with large fingers. One doesn’t even need to look at the phone’s screen when composing a message with a physical keypad.
Compact-sized —— 小巧的体积
有一阵子,手机的屏越大越受欢迎,然而现在看来,身边最常见的智能手机普遍都是同样的类似iPhone 6 plus 大小。但不知为何,还是会怀念之前袖珍的,可以尽在手中的Nokia。
Nowadays, mobile phone companies try to one-up each other by boosting their handsets’ display sizes. Some new phones can’t even fit in some pockets and certain hands due to how bulky they are. Nokia phones of the past were adequately sized and fitted anywhere they were placed.
Variety of designs —— 多样的设计
bar phone 直板手机
Old Nokia phones had some of the most outrageous designs the world has ever seen. The Finnish company didn’t just stick to typical bar phones, flip phones and slide phones. It also brought about phones that were oddly designed like the Nokia 7600, which was shaped like a leaf, and the Nokia 7280, which looked like a lipstick. The Nokia 3650 also featured a circular keypad, while the Nokia 6810 had a fold-out QWERTY keyboard.
Snake —— 贪吃蛇小游戏
“Snake” was the biggest mobile phone game for years. Owners of old Nokia phones used to spend hours making the snake as long as possible until it filled up the whole screen.
Loudspeakers —— 扬声器
这也是很有特色的一方面,有同学说她的爷爷奶奶就用的Nokia,所谓的老人机么。每次听到电话都好大声音,使她印象深刻。
Phones like the Nokia 3310 have extra loud speakers that are almost impossible to suppress(抵制). Calls and messages are rarely missed with such handsets unless they are put on silent mode.
Ringtones —— 铃声
Millennials will forever remember the golden age of ringtones. Nokia monophonic ringtones were simple and fun. Some models even had the Composer app where users summoned their inner Mozarts.
