It works better as a hotspot for the laptop when I need a bigger screen?
- hkt 6y agoThere are smart-dumbphones with features like hotspots. The Nokia 8810 has WhatsApp, 4g and WiFi hotspots, as well as lots of other features previously only found in low end bonafide smartphones. Added bonus with the Nokia I mention is that KaiOS (formerly Firefox OS) probably doesn't ship telemetry to Google.

- MagnumOpus 6y agoThe 8110 has Google Maps as well as Uber. And food sites work just as well through their mobile web sites.
- happymellon 6y agoI did not know that. Thank you, most dumb phone also exclude high speed connections because they are cheap and this isnt a normal usecase.
- scarface74 6y agoIf battery life is only 9 hours for music playback, I can’t imagine how bad the battery life is when using it as a hotspot.
- happymellon 6y agoOh, when I hotspot my laptop, I almost always have the phone plugged into it to keep the charge up
