Features

The 3310 has all of the old features including 2G connectivity for calls and texts, Bluetooth 3.0, a two megapixel camera, an LED torch, an FM radio, a headphone jack, 16MG storage and a 2.5G connection that allows for you to go online.

The phone's Opera Mini browser also supports Twitter, Facebook and other apps, despite it being very slow.

Design

Taking the silhouette from the old classic, the new 3310 has an improved custom designed user interface with a 2.4” polarized and curved screen to help improve readability in the sun.

The re-launched 3310 is available in four colours; black, yellow, red and grey.

Battery Life

Just like the old 3310, the re-launched version comes with incredible battery life. According to Nokia, the phone will last up to a month on standby mode.

Weight

If you are after something light, the 3310 is perfect for you! The phone weights only 79g in comparison to an iPhone 7 plus which weighs 188g.

The phone in noticeably slimmer to the original, with the old version weighing 133g.

Games

The question everybody is asking, 'Does the 3310 come with Snake?'. Of course it does! Not only that, Nokia has given it a little upgrade in the form of a colour screen.

Will you be buying one of these? It looks like we are going to be hearing a lot more of that classic Nokia ringtone!

Check out the ten reasons we loved the old Nokia 3310:

You could change the covers.

You could play Snake.

It only needed charging once a week.

The screen didn't need a screen protector.

The screen wouldn't crack.

Neither would the case.

You could also see the screen in direct sunlight.

You could compose your own ringtones.

Because there's no internet there are no distractions!

And the default ones were pretty iconic.

We hope the new one lives up to our expectations!

Another point to add about the new headset is that the company developing it, HMD, plan to position the Nokia 3310 as the perfect 'digital detox' phone.
