Description of smartphone 3310 (2017)
For about a month, the Internet was full of rumors about the reissue of the most popular Nokia 3310 phone and on February 26, Nokia presented a modern mobile device under the same name and affordable to every customer. But to understand which phone in question, we added the prefix of the year of release to the name.
After the release of the phone, there were mixed feelings. By design, the 3310 (2017 release) received a body that is made in the style of the old device. Also, several color schemes have been released for better personalization. For starters, only four: dark gray with a light keyboard and edging, light gray, red and bright yellow. The manufacturer promised that other colors may appear in the future, so that each customer can choose the solution they like best.
If we talk about the technical side of the Nokia 3310, then there are not many parameters here, as this is an ordinary "dialer". But the most dramatic change is the 2.4-inch color display, which has a resolution of 240x320 pixels. Compared to other already released mobile phones from Nokia, the screen is identical.
On board is the Nokia Series 30+ system, which was created by Microsoft and MediaTek. This platform has already installed the Opera mini browser and several games, including the updated classic snake.
The Nokia 3310 supports memory cards, which allows you to expand your device memory up to 32GB. The manufacturer does not specify how much memory is in the phone. If we talk about prices for mobile phone, then the cost will range from $ 40 to $ 50, depending on the country of sale.
Video review Nokia 3310 (2017):
In February 2017, the world famous Nokia brand presented 3 new creations. Among the new products shown, the most attention was paid to an improved version of the legendary model 3310. How does the updated gadget differ from its predecessor? A detailed comparative review classic and updated Nokia 3310.
Nokia 3310 appearance
The design of the old model was distinguished by the rigor and minimalism typical of that era. The phone had only one color scheme: a dark gray body and light gray buttons. The dimensions of the legendary model were 113x48x22 mm. She weighed 133 g (which is quite a lot, given the small size). The brand name was displayed above the phone display. Also, the upper part was set aside for the speaker. There was no camera on the back, which was not surprising for the early 2000s when the model hit the market. At the bottom was the entrance for the charger, which, according to the legends of the fans, was rarely used. The upper end of the device contained a power button. Both the back and front panels are removable. Thanks to this design, the user was able not only to get to the battery, but also to clean the phone if necessary.
As for the updated version, its design has undergone significant changes. First of all, the developers have reduced the dimensions of the novelty. Now the dimensions of the 3310 are 115.6 x 51 x 12.8 mm. Following the dimensions, the weight of the gadget has also decreased. The updated version weighs only 79.6 g. Such dimensions and weight make carrying the device as comfortable as possible. Unlike the old model, the new Nokia 3310 has several colors. Now the buyer can get a phone in yellow, blue, red or gray. Another design innovation is the more streamlined shape of the gadget. The phone is now egg-shaped. The brand name still appears on the front panel above the display. The appearance of the rear panel has also changed slightly. Now there is space for the camera and LED flash.
The phone buttons themselves have undergone design changes. The old model contained the following control keys:
- 10 numeric buttons (from 0 to 9), with side keys had the form of a droplet, and the central ones - a horizontal ellipse;
- keys "*" and "#";
- the reset button, which was responsible for canceling the selection, as well as returning to the previous menu level;
- coupled forward-backward button;
- the main big button responsible for calling up the menu, selecting a menu item, etc.
- 10 digital buttons (also from 0 to 9);
- "Asterisk" and "lattice";
- call answering key;
- call reset key;
- a large central button responsible for selecting a menu item;
- side buttons surrounding the center key (they provide up-down and right-left switching).
Technical parameters of Nokia 3310
The old version 3310 was provided by the operating system Nokia OS. The legendary phone lacked internal memory as such. The memory capacity of the gadget was limited by the capabilities of the SIM card. The phone could store 8 last dialed numbers, incoming and missed calls. In addition to making calls, the old model allowed the exchange of SMS messages.
The display of the legendary phone was monochrome. It only supported 2 colors: black and dull green. The diagonal of the screen was only 3.55 cm. The display supported a resolution of 96x65 pixels.
The developers endowed the updated version of the Nokia 3310 with stronger technical characteristics:
- Operating system. The updated 3310 runs on Series 30+ OS. This system just allows you to significantly expand functionality device.
- Display. The developers have equipped their new creation with a 2.4-inch color screen. The display resolution is 240x320 pixels. The average concentration of pixels per inch is 167 ppi. Typical display accessory - QVGATFT LCD.
- Memory. The phone's integrated memory is very small - only 16 MB. However, the 2017 model supports microSD-HC cards, which can expand the memory up to 32GB. This capacity is enough to store the optimal amount of information (photos, music).
Nokia 3310 multimedia capabilities
The classic version of the considered model contained only standard ringtones and a limited list of applications. Among available programs there was only a clock, an alarm clock, a calculator and a unit converter. But the main pride of the old 3310 was a game called the snake. In addition to the snake, the classic Nokia contained 3 more games: "Pairs II", "Bantumi" and "Space Impact". There was no possibility to view pictures. Also, the old model did not have a camera. She did not support any network that existed at that time. wireless... In fact, it was a device that could only make and receive calls.
In order to at least slightly adjust the 2017 model to modern realities, the developers have significantly expanded the capabilities of the phone. Among the innovations are the following:
- the presence of a 2 megapixel rear camera - it allows you to take a photo, however, the final quality will be far from ideal (dim or very bright lighting can noticeably lower the quality);
- support for MP3 format, which allows you to use the novelty as a player;
- the presence of a radio;
- the presence of an improved version of the game "Snake" (now the sensational mobile hit is colored, and the movements of the snake itself are drawn more clearly);
- support for some wireless networks (in particular, data transmission via Bluetooth 3.0 is possible, there is a connection to GPRS).
Nokia 3310 Battery
The classic model was equipped with a 1000mAh lithium-ion battery. According to official data, the battery could hold a charge for 245 hours (almost 10 days) in standby mode. With continuous conversation, the gadget sat down in 5 hours. But this is only official data. It is because of its battery that the classic 3310 has become a real legend. Reviews from many users indicate that this mobile phone could last more than a month without recharging. Quite often, the owners simply forgot to recharge it. getting used to the incredible battery life.
The developers took into account this quality of the old model. So they equipped the 2017 Nokia 3310 with a more powerful 1200mAh Li-ion battery. According to the manufacturers, with a continuous conversation, the gadget will last almost a day (to be more precise - 22 hours). If you leave it in standby mode, the phone will require recharging only after a month.
Such claims are overwhelming, although they can be doubted. It should be borne in mind that the classic Nokia had limited functionality. Often, it was used only for calls. In addition, this legendary phone had a two-tone screen that did not differ high quality display a picture. All these factors contributed to the fact that the battery was under minimal load. Because of this, the device could last for weeks.
However, the new model has undergone many functional changes. She now has a color display with great detail, the ability to listen to music and connect to the Internet. At the same time, the battery capacity was increased slightly - by only 200 mAh. It follows from this that the additional functional qualities will have a greater impact on the battery, as a result of which it will lose its charge much faster. Of course, the updated Nokia will still be quite "tenacious". But only practice will show whether she will be able to repeat the record of her ancestor.
Nokia 3310 price and video review
Our comparative review of the classic and updated Nokia 3310 showed that the 2017 model is a full-fledged ideological successor to its legendary ancestor. but additional functionalityequipped with new gadget, makes it more practical and interesting for a modern person.
The price of Nokia 3310 in Russia starts from $ 40. A video review comparing the classic and new models is presented below:
Back in 2000, about 126 million copies of the legendary Nokia 3310 were sold. At that time, the phone was the crown of achievements in mobile technology and will receive hundreds of thousands of rave reviews. At MWC 2017, the Nokia brand, from which only one name remains, presented an updated version of the iconic phone, as well as held a presentation of others.
Price and main characteristics
In Britain, the novelty will hit stores on May 24. On the same day, sales will start in other major European cities, including Russia. The starting price tag of the device is at the level of $ 65; 3310 hit the shelves of our stores at a price of 4000 thousand rubles. This is not a small amount for which even an ultra-budget smartphone can be purchased.

The updated push-button telephone is running operating system Nokia Series 30+ with some improvements for modern applications. This solution is well known from the model lines of numerous push-button Nokia.
Completion and appearance
Following the old design trends is embodied not only in the device case, but also in its box. This is not a minimalistic white box like the iPhone, but a bright, flashy packaging. On the back of the box you can see the main specifications device.
In addition to the phone itself, you can find a charger inside uSB device Type-C, earphones, removable battery and documentation. 3310 cannot be charged via USB port computer, since the charging unit and the cable are one.
The manufacturer tried to keep the design of the old legendary 2000 model. In part, he did it, the new Nokia in front looks almost the same as its predecessor. However, the body of the device itself has become almost two times thinner and lighter than the original. The 3310 no longer feels like a heavy brick in the hands.
There are doubts about the resistance to damage of the new item. It is unlikely that it will withstand all the tests that the old model endured. The body of the new 3310 is completely made of plastic. The back cover can be removed to replace the battery or change the SIM card. Customers can choose from four colors: red, glossy yellow, classic dark blue and gray.
The location and shape of the buttons have been slightly adjusted to meet modern standards. They respond to pressing with pleasant clicks; individual keys are very easy to feel in the dark due to their greater width. The 2.4-inch display on the front panel occupies almost the entire area free from the keyboard. It is surrounded by large black accents, which gives the false impression of its oval shape.
The lines of the case against the background of modern smartphones look very unusual. There are no sharp cuts and corners, the front of the 3310 smoothly merges into the rounded ends. The 3.5mm headphone jack is located on the bottom right side.
Type-C for charging is on top, it is not symmetrically placed.
To access the SIM and microSD slot, you must first unplug the 3310, then remove the cover and remove the battery. It also houses a 2-megapixel camera with flash that can be used as a flashlight. Just above the lens cutout there is a small perforation for the speaker.
In general, the 3310 of the 2017 sample is a bit similar to its predecessor, but it has its own characteristic features. The phone turned out to be as simple as possible in design, but its appearance can be described in one word: “fresh”. For lovers of nostalgia, we recommend purchasing the dark blue version of the device, it is most similar to the original.
Screen and interface
The new 3310 is equipped with a 2.4-inch TFT display with QVGA resolution. The pixel density is 167 units per inch. It makes no sense to evaluate the display according to the criteria of standard modern smartphones, since it has a completely different purpose.
3310 is needed exclusively for calls or a couple of important SMS. A small color screen is enough for this. True, it is not always possible to use it comfortably. All because of the fairly small viewing angles and a weak margin of brightness. To make out the text on the display in the sun, you have to squint hard.
The interface of the phone is most likely already familiar to many from previous generations of devices from Nokia. The Series 30+ operating system has a menu that contains several essential options. TO standard icons calendar, contacts, call log and basic application catalog are joined by the Opera Mini browser, voice recorder, player and camera application.
You can control the interface thanks to the square of four keys under the screen. They allow you to select menu items in four directions, just like most push-button phones. The functions of the call and off buttons are marked on the display.
Functional
What can the Nokia 3310 do? Trying to keep up with the modern times, the manufacturer has provided the Opera Mini browser. It is almost impossible to use it due to lack of support Wi-Fi networks, and the Internet speed in 2G simply does not meet the basic requirements of most users who are accustomed to high-speed Internet.
Considering the emphasis on nostalgia for the old model, the legendary "Snake" is back in the new Nokia. The game was developed by Gameloft studio, which already has a wealth of experience in the field of mobile entertainment. The company managed to turn the game into a colorful quest with red apples instead of dots in the old 3310.
Snake Xenzia looks pretty and lets you pass the time when needed. Several other entertainment apps can also be installed here. Old school fans will love Asphalt 6: Adrenaline and Diamond Twister. Initially, only 16 MB is available for user files and applications internal memory... For full use of the phone, we recommend that you immediately purchase a memory card, which will reveal its potential as an Mp3 player.
Camera
Now it would be foolish to launch even a push-button phone without a camera on the market. Nokia has taken this fact into account and provided the 3310 with a 2-megapixel rear-facing photo sensor. There is no front-facing selfie module. The camera is equipped with flash only, there is no HDR or other modern features.
As expected, the image quality does not shine with stunning results. The camera can be used to capture printed text under normal lighting conditions, no more. It is quite difficult to post finished photos on social networks, you have to use the help of a computer and a card reader, and the pictures themselves hardly deserve that.
Speaker, sound quality
3310 fulfills its “dialer” task one hundred percent. The speaker of the phone is powerful enough to hear incoming call even in a bag or backpack. But hearing the interlocutor is sometimes difficult due to the lack of a noise reduction system.
Battery
The outstanding autonomy of the old Nokia is preserved in the new 3310. The removable 1200 mAh battery leaves modern smartphones far behind. In the talk mode, the phone can hold up to 22 hours. Standby mode will discharge the device only after a month.
Approximate battery charging time is 1.5 hours. If you wish, you can buy another battery, although this is not so necessary, the 3310 confidently lives from one charge for 4-5 days with average active use.
Communication and Internet
The set of communication modules looks very poor even for push-button telephone... The new 3310 does not support the 3G standard, data can only be transferred using 2G. This makes the phone's browser almost useless in today's environment.
Inside is also bluetooth module 3.0. Wi-Fi or GPS connectivity is not provided here.
Video review of Nokia 3310
Competitors conclusion
Excellent autonomy;
Strong enough body;
Removable battery;
"Snake".
No Wi-Fi;
Small amount of internal memory;
Work only in 2G.
The new Nokia 3310 can be viewed from two points of view. Compare with previous modelthere are certainly huge improvements to be seen while trying to keep the original design. In part, the manufacturer succeeded.
However, the rapid pursuit of nostalgia has turned the device into an almost useless device against the backdrop of smartphones. Consequently, for the money set aside for the purchase of the 3310, you can get a fairly decent budget chinese smartphone... Should I buy new version legendary phone? Only if you are a hipster or want to go back to 2000.

What can I say ... The new Nokia is convenient to use as a second phone to a smartphone if you have two numbers. It hardly makes sense to look for all the pros and cons in it, this is an ordinary simple dialer, this is its purpose. Of the advantages, I liked the design, initially it seemed that the display was very convex, but everything is fine. Convenient buttons, loud enough ringtone. The quality of the connection and the speakers are all right. Of the minuses. Weak vibration, the display is invisible in the sun, although they promised something else. Also an inconvenient square button for switching the menu, your finger often slides off this small square frame and falls into a square. right button cameras to some other. The screen is scratched. I put it in my pocket with the keys and immediately a scratch and abrasion. As for the battery life, it lasted about three days with moderate use and calls. And by the way, ladies with a manicure and not only them, a fingernail, as it is written in instructions, open back cover not even worth trying, you will be left without a nail. Only with something sharp. In conclusion, an unreasonably high price,
At Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bHDM Global, which owns the Nokia brand, unveiled an updated version of the formerly famous Nokia 3310 phone.
According to the assurances of journalists, new phone inherits the iconic silhouette of the original model and has a modern interface.
Figure 1 shows the Nokia 3310 (2017) with different body colors. According to the information from the creators of the new phone, the color of the case will not change over time, since the paint is part of the plastic of the case, and not applied to it.
On May 22, 2017, I purchased in one of the Svyaznoy stores this phone for 3990 rubles, made in a dark blue matte design. Let's see what this "beast" is.
Met by clothes
The appearance of the 2017 Nokia 3310 leaves an ambiguous impression. On the one hand, a thin body, a 2.4-inch screen, optimally located number buttons. On the other hand, the back panel is only 1 millimeter thick, and the joystick under the screen is extremely inconvenient.
If we talk about the plastic from which the phone case is made, then even the appearance it is clear that it is of poor quality, although it is colored (as we were promised).
Figure 2 shows: original Nokia 3310 and Nokia 3310 (2017). So, the new phone is smaller, thinner, and therefore lighter. Is it good? In my opinion, no, because such a device can slip out of hand on the go.
The weight of the 2017 Nokia 3310 is 79.6 grams versus 133 grams of the original Nokia 3310.
The new Nokia 3310 has a micro-usb connector on the top of the case, and a headphone jack on the bottom. On the back of the case are located: speaker, camera lens and flashlight bulb.
Figure 3 shows the package bundle of the Nokia 3310 (2017) purchased in Russia.
Phone, removable battery 1200 mAh, charger, headphones, documentation in a box. There is no separate cable for synchronizing the device with a PC, and the wire from the charger is not disconnected.
Let's move on to the technical characteristics of the Nokia 3310 (2017).
Don't be useful, but be useful
As a matter of fact, the technical characteristics of the new Nokia 3310 are no longer a secret to anyone, so I won't present them in this article, but I will share my impressions.
So, a 2.4-inch color screen with rounded corners. Good, no doubt about it. Convenient for dialing, viewing the contact list, typing sms messages. And the font can be increased.
Figure 4 shows Nokia 3310 (2017) with removed back panel and battery.
The ability to use two sim-cards of the micro-sim format, memory cards up to 32 GB. Okay! By the way, on the "Svyaznoy" website in the "sim card" column nokia characteristics 3310 (2017) the long word “normal” is written, and my standard sim card did not fit into the device. Fortunately, the documentation about the format of supported sim cards is written.
Removable 1200 mAh battery. A controversial decision, in my opinion. With active calls, use mobile internet, a flashlight and a camera are enough for three days. Philips, for example, offers us mobile phones with 3000 mAh batteries.
2 megapixel camera with flash. It is completely incomprehensible to me why a camera, a flashlight, an mp3 player, an FM receiver should be crammed into an ordinary mobile phone. Moreover, in the phone, which is positioned as the successor to the cult Nokia 3310.
Unfortunately, there is no infrared port. But there is Bluetooth, it works perfectly.
So what about the Nokia 3310 (2017) software?
Operating system and programs
Forgive me, but I do not know a single decent saying about operating systems and applications ... Therefore, to the point.
The new Nokia 3310 runs on the Nokia Series 30+ operating system. The interface is made in a simple style, which is good news. But I could not rejoice at the software products. No, there are some useful ones (notes, calendar, calculator). But there are more useless ones: a music player, FM-receiver, voice recorder, Opera browser, application manager and weather forecast. On a 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 240x320 pixels, it is extremely necessary to surf the Internet, find out the weather forecast, isn't it?
The volume of the phone's memory is a modest 16 MB. With support for memory cards modern man can download music, photos, videos to the phone. But is it just necessary? I have the same question regarding mobile Internet (GPRS).
Many of my peers, like me, enjoyed playing games on their phones. The original Nokia 3310 delighted me with two games: "Snake" and "Space impact 2". The company "HDM Global" has sewn into the Nokia 3310 (2017) one free game - a new version of "Snake". Personally, I passed it in three evenings, playing no more than an hour after work. Through the application manager, you are offered to download several games for money.
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
As you know, the original Nokia 3310 was popular not only due to its size and weight (which guaranteed a comfortable position of the phone in the hand), and the simplicity of the interface. This phone is rightfully called a legend for its resistance to shocks and drops.
And that's where the Nokia 3310 (2017) has a problem. Viability test results showed:
- when dropped from a height of 1.5 meters to the floor, the body of the device did not receive noticeable damage;
- after being in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator for 2 hours, the phone continued to work, but after 5 minutes the battery charge dropped from 50% to 5%;
- when dropped from a height of 1.5 meters onto the asphalt, the body of the device was noticeably damaged (Figure 5).
If you recall the original Nokia 3310, then my device fell several times on the asphalt, ground and snow, and continued to work normally outside at temperatures below -15 degrees Celsius. In colder air temperatures, the battery was discharged quickly.
Thus, the Nokia 3310 of the 2017 model is less resistant to external influences compared to the original.
Of course, these days, a mobile phone can be protected from physical deformation by tucking it into a silicone case. Nokia 3310 (2017), placed in such a case, becomes unprepossessing - it becomes more difficult to hit the number buttons with your finger the first time. What can we say about the joystick, which is inconvenient even without a cover.
Let's summarize.
A good start is common, a good end is rare
New versions of old films are not uncommon in cinema today. When the supply of ideas runs out, the scriptwriters take on shoveling some strong or medium-sized film (TV series) from the last century. Well, or they write a script based on some book.
HDM Global, which owns the Nokia brand, decided to enter the market and prove that their products are significantly different from Microsoft's Lumia line of smartphones. In terms of smartphones, the company will release Nokia models 3, 5, 6 and 9 under the operating android systems... And the decision to release a mobile phone Nokia 3310 (2017), in my opinion, will go sideways for the company.
Why? According to the company, the Nokia 3310 (2017) was released as a second phone for those who remember the original Nokia 3310. Now think about whether people who have used the legend for several years (and some still use it) will buy new model? I don't think they will.
Today the choice is clearly not in favor of the Nokia 3310 (2017). Saving on materials, manufacturing in China and Vietnam, and, as a result, the instability of the device to falls from a height, shock and negative air temperatures. Smaller in comparison with the original dimensions and weight, which makes the phone inconvenient to hold in hand. Weak battery. Unnecessary applicationsthat you can't get rid of. Oh yes! According to information from "HDM Global", the Nokia 3310 (2017) will have interchangeable themed back panels.
Of course, the 2017 Nokia 3310 can be used. Someone will find it convenient because of the size and weight (not everyone likes "heavy" phones). Someone will probably buy this unit as a second phone. Someone will like that one device has a camera, flashlight, voice recorder, mp3 player, internet. Only by launching the Nokia 3310 (2017) on the market, HDM Global deliberately deprived the heir of the advantages of the original. In addition, the new Nokia 3310 does not stand out against the background of existing mobile phones alcatel phones, Philips, Samsung.
In my opinion, the company "HDM Global" cheated by releasing a new mobile phone. It looks like the original Nokia 3310 but turns out to be a mediocre phone in use. As for the garlic, the brand owners should have released a model with a different name, because they failed to revive the legend. Will HDM Global meet expectations? Where will their marketing move lead? We will see this very soon.
