Certainly, Nokia 3310 is one of the main stays of being with us till today, the strength is strong. The new variant is also strong and your heartbeats will not grow even after it falls.
although, HMD Global claims that it is easy to read on the phone in sunlight. And there is a slight reflection on the 2.4-inch QVGA(240x320 pixels) display. If you have more light, you will have to backlay level more than average to read on screen. Originally Nokia 3310 did not have a color screen like a new screen, but this feature was extremely important and it is easy to use the device.
You will get an updated Nokia Ringtone in the new phone, which can be a smile on your face. However, if you talk about old memories then the end is right here.
The Nokia 3310 specification and feature:
phone UI is new, but many features are similar to original phones and it’s easy to understand. The menu gives you photos, music player, opera mobile store, calendar, weather, calculator, FM radio, Apps like voice recorder will be found. Apart from this, there is also a new version of the classic snake game. That’s just something special in this feature phone. And if you are looking at it as an alternative to a smartphone, then you will face the truth when there will be nothing to do with you after 5-10 minutes of using the phone.
Nokia 3310(2017) is one of the greatest specialties. Great old snake games. Yes, the popular snake game has returned, but according to the expectation, in a new fashion. It’s colorful and looks attractive but it does not mean that it will be fun to play. And as expected, the old game’s memories are not as fresh with new snake games(with all modes). We did not have the satisfaction of playing a new game like old games. Developer Gameloft introduced the simple and fixed navigation of the old game in a new version, Has changed with the modern look. The old game’s features have been lost in the rotation of the game. If you are excited to buy phones due to the snake game in 3310 then you may be disappointed.
Nokia 3310(2017) has a dual micro-SIM slot and supports microSD card up to 32 GB. The phone has 16 MB of internal storage, of which only 1.5 MB is for the user’s work. Therefore, the MicroSD card will be required to store photos or songs.
The retail box has a standard 3.5mm headset that can be used to listen to music and FM radio. Audio Quality is OK. Without a headset, the call quality is superb but with the headset, the sound becomes more pronounced. It’s only 5 MB. Therefore, the MicroSD card will be required to store photos or songs.

According to us, the D-pad given for navigation is much better than the single-axis scroll button given in the original phone. You can quickly access apps like SMS, Calendar, Contacts and Flashlight. The T9 keyboard is just as good as the original, but due to the use of smartphones for nearly a decade, typing can make it a bit upset.
Nokia 3310 Performance, Camera and Battery Life
It may be funny to talk about the performance of a feature phone, but eventually it is a mobile phone. And the features and pitfalls of feature phones can also be talked about, Even if their UI is made for limited work There is no problem using the new Nokia 3310 and the apps that are already installed have run very well.
The Nokia Series 30+ operating system has been made by MediaTek and it’s fantastic for feature phones. Earlier this operating system has also been used for Nokia 150. The Opera Mini browser comes pre-installed in the phone, in which Facebook, Twitter, Google, Mail checking and many other websites can be surfaced. But by the time it takes to open a webpage without Wi-Fi and 3G / 4G connectivity, you might start to snap your hair. In the App & Games section, You can download the version of Twitter and Facebook app. But there is no support for whatsapp and this is a big drawback for low-budget customers. To sign up, you have to use the SMS app.
Nokia 3310 has a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash on the rear. Talk about image quality, there is nothing really to compliment. In the sunlight, photos come with good light and color from the camera, but the focus is not too sharp. Photos taken in the dark, flashes are also bad for use. So in any case it would not be good to rely on this camera. Looking at the 2.4-inch screen, the photos are okay but sharing on social media is not worth it. Apart from this, video recording can also be done, But it is also clear focus on moving so you have to be extremely slow recording to get better results. Without MicroSD card, you will only be able to store up to 7-10 photos in the phone. The camera also has effects such as Sepia, Black & White, which will work to create better pictures.
Nokia has asked for 22 hours of talk time and standby time of one month with 1200 MAH battery given in Nokia 3310. During the playing time with the phone, there was more than 50 percent of the battery left after playing games, calling and listening to music for up to 2-3 hours for four days. This indicates that the battery will last for about a week, however, this is not new to feature phones. Nokia 150 has a 1020 mAh battery and claims similar battery life. Its price is around Rs. 2, 000.
Honestly, Nokia 3310 can be a secondary handset. Apart from this, it can also be used as a common phone in the home. The phone does not have many features like features like Wi-Fi, 3G / 4G connectivity and GPS.
Our decision:
is clear from the very beginning that HMD Global is bringing Nokia 310(2017) back due to old memories. Classic Nokia Ringtone, Physical Button, The small body and strong build quality are such features that will make sense to use the original Nokia 3310. And perhaps it’s enough to buy this phone for Nokia’s crazy fans. And this feature phone has sold out as fast as the Galaxy S8 in the US . The question is whether people are buying this phone to use or just as a collection and memory.
HMD Global told Gadgets 360 that Nokia 3310 is getting a very good response in India. And the initial stock has been sold out. This is proof that people buy the handset of the Nokia brand due to its robust, dependable and good looks.
The new Nokia 3310 has three things that make it better - look, battery life and snake games. But with Rs 3, 310, it is not the most cost-effective handset to come up with these features. Rather, companies like carbon or micromax will have many options for entry-level smartphones in this price. And in a world where Whatsapp has become a necessity now, Nokia 3310(2017) does not have all that buyers need.
HMD Global launches the old classic phone, launched in the modern world and has made a lot of headlines. The Nokia 3310(2017) feature phone is not the best choice for those who want more functionality in less cost. But there are many people who just want good voice quality, SMS functionality and one or two games, this is a good option for them.
