The reimagined version of the classic Nokia 3310[1] has launched[2] in India at Rs. 3,310, with the phone available for purchase starting Thursday, May 18 via offline stores only. You can get it in four colour options across two finishes: Warm Red and Yellow in glossy, and Dark Blue and Grey in matte.
It’s not a modern phone by any standard, though. The 3310 has a 2.4-inch QVGA (240x320 pixels) TFT display, just 16MB internal storage expandable by microSD card (up to 32GB), and a 2-megapixel shooter on the back. There's no selfie camera, no Wi-Fi, and no GPS.
It does have support for 2G connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0, and has a Micro-USB port. What it lacks in mere specifications, it makes up for in month-long battery life, and the return of classic Snake game. HMD Global[3] isn’t selling a budget feature phone, clearly, but a nostalgia pill more like.
