A Chinese company called Sugar Cubes recently attracted the attention of retro tech enthusiasts with a new product called N97 Elite, inspired by the "legendary" Nokia N97. Photo: BiliBili.

As the name suggests, this handheld game console bears many similarities to the Nokia N97, but is specifically designed to serve the gaming needs of users. Photo: YankoDesign.

The highlight of the N97 Elite is the sliding mechanism similar to the Nokia N97, with a 4.7-inch touchscreen that can slide up for a better viewing angle. The device has a dedicated control layout for gaming with a D-pad and buttons. Unfortunately, this device lacks an analog stick. Photo: YankoDesign.

In terms of configuration, the N97 Elite is equipped with a Snapdragon 855+ processor (launched in 2019), 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal memory, enough to play classic games and some modern games, but will be a bit weak with games that require high performance. The product is also equipped with an integrated cooling fan, helping to maintain stable performance when operating continuously. Photo: YankoDesign.

Currently, the N97 Elite is sold in China for $205 (about 5.2 million VND), with many special versions for anime lovers such as Gundam, Evangelion or Dragon Ball. Photo: BiliBili.

Initial reviews of the N97 Elite have not been very positive. Some say that the performance of the device is not really impressive, the software still has many errors. However, with its unique design, the N97 Elite still attracts the attention of many users. Photo: PocketTactic.

Launched in 2009, the Nokia N97 was a "seismic" in the mobile industry. This was Nokia's pioneering attempt to enter the emerging smartphone market. This unique slider phone had a touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, 32 GB of internal memory and a 5 MP camera. Photo: Nokia.

The Nokia N97 was expected to be a major step forward for Nokia. However, with a resistive touchscreen, outdated Symbian OS and subpar performance, the N97 failed to compete with the iPhone and Android devices at the time. Photo: 3dh3m/Nokia.
