MWC 2017 update: Samsung's new HDR tablet and the return of a dumbphone

Mobile World Congress is gearing up in Barcelona, where so far, the big hit of the show isn’t some sci-fi wonderphone with VR or AR or 5G or OLED this or that. No, it’s the Nokia 33-10, an update of the classic candy-bar dumbphone that Nokia has brought back to life as… an updated dumbphone. Here’s what you don’t get: no internet. No email. No LTE. No 4G. No 3G.

There’s no full keyboard, no big OLED super-screen, no 20-megpixel dual-lens camera. So what does it come with? How about a two-megapixel camera, a new but quite tiny color LCD screen, 2G connectivity (we didn’t even know that was still around), an update of the Snake game – it’s in color now – and a massive 16 megabytes of memory – yes, megabytes. Also, it comes in four fun colors.

And since they could pretty much fit all of the 33-10’s electronics on a circuit board the size of a fingernail, the inside of the phone is pretty much all battery, giving 22 hours of talk time or a month of standby. OK, you can expand the tiny memory with a microSD card up to 32 gigs, and there’s also an FM radio and MP3 player built-in, so hey, not bad for a price of around 50 bucks. Who’s it for? Anyone tired of smartphones, we guess, and of course, those “emerging markets.”
