- Find out the Boring Phone giveaway details here.
Nokia brand’s parent company HMD Global has partnered with Heineken and Bodega to launch the limited-edition Boring Phone. It is based on the Nokia 2660 Flip phone. It has 4G calling support, two screens, and a translucent design. Let’s check out the phone from different angles and learn about its specs and features.
Boring Phone design
- It is a flip-form phone based on the Nokia 2660 Flip.
- It weighs 123g.
- The highlight is its translucent casing though which shows the internals. Another aspect of the design is holographic stickers. It is inspired by Newtro culture, which shows Gen Z’s love for retro fashion.
- Since Gen-Z largely suffers from doomscrolling and digital despair, Boring Phone is aimed at them as the anti-smartphone solution. So, you won’t be able to browse the web, use time-consuming apps, social media channels, etc.
- However, it does feature the classic snake game from old Nokia phones since HMD has its license.
