TheNokia 3310 (2017) is aNokia-brandedfeature phone developed byHMD Global. It was announced on 26 February 2017 atMobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 as a revival of the originalNokia 3310 that was produced from the early 2000s. An improved model with3G support was released on 29 October 2017.
On 14 February 2017, it was reported that a modernised version of the 3310 would be unveiled at the 2017 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona by HMD Global, a Finnish manufacturer with rights to market phones under the Nokia brand, with the price point of 59 euros.[4][5] On 26 February 2017, the modernised version of the 3310 was relaunched at a price of€49.[6]
The initial 3310 release only came with support for2G networks,[7] which led to criticism especially as a number of countries, including theUnited States,[8]Australia andSingapore[9] were in the process of phasing out their 2G networks; an improved variant of the phone with support for 3G networks was later announced by HMD, released on 29 October 2017.[10]
The 3310 has functions like anFM radio, theOpera Miniweb browser, a voice recorder, and a 2-megapixel camera with flash for photos and video recording. The flash LED doubles as a flashlight. Certain models haveBluetooth 3.0 and a Dual-SIM tray.[11] The display has a polarized layer for outdoor use.[clarification needed]
The originalSnake game has been replaced byGameloft'sSnake Xenzia with updated modes and graphics. It is also possible tosideloadJava-based applications using the .jad and .jar format. Available apps are browsers, games, internet radios, etc.
The design of the phone heavily mimics its predecessor both in design and form factor. It comes in twoglossy colors, red and yellow, as well as twomatte colors similar to the original Nokia 3310: dark blue and grey.
The 3G model has many improvements and changes apart from the 3G radio. The internal storage has been increased from 16MB[12] to 128 MB, and there are some cosmetic changes, including a new silver keypad.[13] It comes in four new colors: yellow, "warm" red, azure and charcoal, all matte.[14] The phone's size has slightly increased (by 13.29%) to ergonomically make typing on the keypad easier. The 3G radio has reduced battery talk time, but slightly increased standby time.[15] All 3310 3G versions support Bluetooth 2.1.[16]
The 3310 3G also runs a Java-based operating system that HMD calls "Smart Feature OS" (based on Mocor RTOS). Its appearance is similar to theSeries 30+ as on the 2G version, but has a new customizable interface.[17] However, only sim-slot 1 is 3G compatible, the slot 2 is still only 2G capable.
In 2019, HMD released the newer revision of Nokia 3310 3G, which runSeries 30+ based on Mocor RTOS instead of Smart Feature OS, without J2ME games and apps support.[18]
A4G version was released in late January 2018 in China in partnership withChina Mobile. It runsAliOS, an incompatible fork ofAOSP (Android), and can create WiFi hotspots using the LTE data connection. Internal storage has been increased to 512 MB, and 64 GB memory cards are now supported.[19][20]
HMD announced on 2 July 2017 that the 3310 received great demand and was as a result sold out in many markets.[21]
UK retailerCarphone Warehouse said on 7 March 2017 that demand was "astonishing".[22]
The new 3310 received mixed reviews.CNET praised the phone's battery life, price, and durability,[23] butTechRadar andThe Guardian said the device lacks much of the utility to which modern users have become accustomed.[24][25]
One consensus among most reviewers was the nostalgia of playing the iconicSnake game.
Somecounterfeit versions of the phone have been produced due to the model's popularity.[26][27][28]
