How to spot a fake Nokia 8110 4G (which is actually a 2G phone)
Nokia 8110 4G, TA-1048 dual SIM is a reasonable dumbphone choice even in 2026 because of its 4G support, VoLTE support, Wi-Fi hotspot support and looks.
Because of this, Chinese copies of the phone exist. (also, other HMD 4G phones are cloned too)
As I see they also sell the fake with the TA-1059 label right now.
The Chinese copy has (the lack of) the following features:
- 2G only (possibly MT6260)
- No Wi-Fi
- Not KaiOS
- Opera Mini browser instead of Firefox based
- Not a Qualcomm SoC
- Has some clone of the Snake game
The packaging is very similar, but you can still easily spot the differences. The fake's box doesn't mention 4G or LTE, VoLTE, Wi-Fi Hotspot.
