Nix McRetro
That’s it, I’m sick of mobile phones and always being switched on in the digital world. Modern phones are such a joke with their 60-minute-man-like batteries.
All I use my phone for is SMS and that’s usually just 2FA rubbish. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting almost two days out of my phone, but it’s time to move backwards.
Enter the Nokia 301.
Nokia quoted up to 39 days of standby for the single-SIM Nokia 301 on a 3G network. Actual battery life depends on network conditions, signal strength, battery age and what you do with the phone, but more than a month was the advertised maximum. One month or MORE! Thank you, candybar phones!
Maybe when the next batch of iPhones roll out and there’s a 4” overpowered phone available for a reasonable price I’ll switch back. At any rate, it’s time to sell my old iPhone 5s and move on.
