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)

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.
