"People oriented technology" is probably the most familiar slogan for many mobile phone users. It and Nokia have spent a good period of youth with many post-70s and post-80s generation. But now, the Nokia LOGO will soon be replaced by Microsoft. For a long time, we may not be able to see the real "Nokia mobile phone".
Nokia Mobile's real success began in the mid-1980s, and it has been more than 30 years now. In the past 30 years, Nokia has experienced development, glory, decline and finally was acquired. During this period, it has created numerous classic mobile phones, of course, there are successes and failures. Before Nokia phones completely disappear in the market, let's take a look at the 30 best and worst works of Nokia in the past 30 years.
1985: Mobira Talkman
Mobira Talkman is Nokia's second mobile communication product. It was born in 1985. It has a huge appearance like a handbag, and may be older than many of our netizens. There is no doubt that its meaning is no longer "mobile phones" or "products", but antiques. If you have such a device in your home, it can already sell for about 10000 yuan, which is of great value for collection.
1987: Cityman
In 1987, Cityman was the first mobile phone in Nokia's true sense. It supports analog communication networks and has the appearance of a "big cell", competing with Motorola. Although it may be impossible to calculate the exact number of sales, its significance is obviously not just sales, because it will be the bottom of the foundation of Nokia's brilliant decades in the future.
1993: Nokia 1011
In terms of market significance, Nokia 1011 is obviously extremely successful. It is the first GSM mobile phone of Nokia and has successfully helped the company complete its transformation. But in terms of design, it does not have Nokia's iconic elements.
1996: Nokia 8110
The 8110 is obviously a product of both fame and wealth for Nokia. Its cool automatic slide design has become Nokia's signature design for a long time, and has ranked the bottom of the high-end positioning of the "8" series. In addition, it also appeared in the classic movie The Matrix. Nostalgic friends may want to review the classic of this phone in the movie,
1996: Nokia 9000 Communicator
Although Nokia declined in the mobile Internet era, it is actually forward-looking. As early as 1996, Nokia launched the 9000 Communicator, which is a mini notebook with a folded full keyboard, supports GSM data network, and can send and receive fax, e-mail, and surf the Internet. It was very powerful at that time. But unfortunately, cross-border positioning and high prices ultimately lead to its failure in the consumer market.
1998: Nokia 5110
In 1998, Nokia 5110 was the first economical mobile phone with business orientation, and its overall sales volume was good, and its biggest contribution may be the popularity of Nokia's signature game - Snake.
1999: Nokia 3210
Obviously, the 3210 may be one of the greatest mobile phones in the 1990s, and many friends' first mobile phones are it. The design of no antenna, exchangeable case and the price that is close to the people have established the young and fashionable status of the "3" series. According to statistics, 3210's global sales reached 160 million units, the second highest in history.
1999: Nokia 7110
Strictly speaking, the Nokia 7110 is not a very successful model, although it is one of the earliest phones with built-in WAP browser function. However, its exposure is not low. You can find it in the classic movie "Swordfish Action".
1999: Nokia 8210
Another "arcade" created by Nokia, the simple, fashionable and compact body design of the 8210 can be called a classic, and the interchangeable shell design has also made it a favorite of the fashion industry. Of course, the subsequent 8250 continues to lead a trend of "blue backlight".
2001: Nokia 7650
7650 is Nokia's first Symbian S60 smartphone with a built-in 300000 pixel camera, and is also its first camera phone. I believe that at that time, the "alien" advertisement was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though the price was expensive, the overall sales of 7650 was also very good.
2001: Nokia 5510
The 5110 is Nokia's attempt in the field of full keyboard multimedia phones, although it has not won the recognition of sales and users. The narrow screen is not attractive enough, and the shape is slightly stupid. However, the built-in memory of 64MB and the ability to play MP3 music files were very advanced at that time.
2002: Nokia 3650
As a cheap version of the 7650, the 3650 basically uses the same configuration, but the body shape has changed. It uses a retro round dial keyboard, which looks very unique. However, it also made its body very large, which was not very popular in the mobile phone market where "small is beautiful" at that time.
2002: Nokia 6800
The 6800 is another attempt by Nokia to use a full keyboard phone. It uses a reversible dual keyboard design. It is usually a straight phone, but after being turned over, it becomes a QWERTY full keyboard phone. However, this design makes the fuselage very thick and heavy, and its durability is not very good, so it has not become the mainstream model in the market.
2002: Nokia 5100
Maybe many friends are not very impressed with this 5100, which also shows its achievements. The cheap rubber body and small screen did not attract much. Although FM radio was supported, other entertainment functions were limited, but the price was not cheap at that time.
2002: N-Gage
N-Gage is Nokia's attempt in the mobile game market, which ended in failure. This mobile phone adopts a horizontal handheld design, supports a dedicated S60 platform game SD card, and supports stereo and FM radio functions. Even if it is not listed in China, it is also loved by some players. However, due to insufficient game resources and low performance, Nokia finally terminated the research and development of game phone series.
2003: Nokia 3300
The Nokia 3300 phone follows the N-Gage landscape design and highlights music playback, which can be seen as a simplified model. However, the monstrous and huge fuselage did not form a great influence.
2004: Nokia 7600
7600 is Nokia's first 3G mobile phone. Its unique leaf shape has won the favor of some female friends. However, as it is only equipped with the S40 system and is not listed in China, its actual influence is still small.
2004: Nokia 7280
The famous "lipstick mobile phone" represents Nokia's advance and innovation in industrial design, but it is also a huge market failure. Beautiful appearance is one of its selling points, and it supports MP3 playback, but the lack of numeric keyboard increases the difficulty of text input, and the high price eventually makes it a chicken rib.
2005: Nokia 7710
The 7710, which looks like a small computer, is destined not to succeed in the era of functional computers. However, it does have some advanced concepts and technologies, such as a high-resolution super large touch screen, built-in WIFI connection, a complete intelligent system and Internet capabilities, which are essential elements of current smart phones.
2005: Nokia N90
Now it seems that the success and failure of Nokia N90 are very obvious. Part of the success lies in the concept of "camera phone". High quality image sensors and lenses have been popularized, and Nokia is obviously forward-looking; The failure lies in the huge and inconvenient design. It is obviously not the right direction to make mobile phones into DVs.
2005: Nokia 8800
The year 2005 can be said to be the initial stage of smart phones, and 8800 obviously no longer represents advanced technology, but "style". Basically, it is just a S40 functional machine that has replaced the color screen and supports data network. It mainly focuses on the metal body and texture, so the price is naturally high. But at this time, more and more users began to pay attention to the functions of mobile phones, so the 8800 could only be the "last generation of mobile phones".
2005: Nokia 1100
The actual market performance of 1100, which focuses on the low-end market, is good, which proves that Nokia still has strong appeal in the low-end market, and this appeal even continues to the Lumia era.
2005: Nokia 3250
The 3250 with its main music and "twist waist" design is a popular arcade. Its unique design is lively and interesting, and it is also very convenient to play music. In addition, the S60 system has also improved its scalability. However, the quality of the cable arrangement was a minor defect, which troubled many users in those days.
2005: Nokia 6280
The overall market performance and reputation of this 6280 is average. Although it adopts the slide design that users like, it only carries the S40 non intelligent system, and the price is not cheap. It is not a popular Nokia model.
2005: Nokia N70
Obviously, compared with the mediocre 6280, the N70 in the same year was more attractive and won a win-win situation in terms of sales and reputation. It is equipped with the new S60 system, which improves the processor and other configurations. The straight board shape and sliding lens cover are also popular designs.
2006: Nokia 5300
The 5300 in 2006 is a popular model of Nokia. It is lively, supports music playing and has a moderate price. Although only equipped with the S40 system, it is still the first choice for many young people.
2007: Nokia N81
Nokia once tried to find the feeling of a game phone again on the N81. This time, it abandoned the handheld model, used a more popular slide design and equipped with independent game keys, and built N-Gage 2.0 into it as a game platform. Of course, Nokia did not succeed in the end.
2010: Nokia 1280
A very low-end dual card mobile phone was launched in 2010, and its overall performance is not good or bad, and many users may not be very impressed.
2012: 808 Pureview
The 808 Pureview, the last Symbian computer king, actually has a very powerful function: a 41 megapixel camera, which can even achieve a function similar to optical zoom. Of course, in 2012, when iPhone and Android phones became mainstream, the 808 Pureview could only be a representative model without market capacity.
2013: Lumia 1020
Nokia, which switched to Windows Phone, launched Lumia 1020 last year, which is the computer king. It has shrunk the 41 megapixel lens of 808 Pureview into Windows Phone, which is impressive. But unfortunately, even if this huge and heavy mobile phone can achieve lossless zoom, it will still not shake the position of Apple's iPhone 5s or Samsung S4. After its launch, the price has frequently plunged, and Nokia has finally changed from mainstream to non mainstream, and finally fell into the pocket of Microsoft.
