The Finnish company Nokia begins sales in Russia of the successor to the cult Nokia 3310. The new version easily guesses the memorable design of its predecessor, but the 3310 in the 2017 version can boast not only a long battery life (up to a month from a single charge and almost a day of continuous talk) but also quite modern features and opportunities.

Official prices for Nokia 3310 in Russia

The new Nokia 3310 will be sold in our country at a recommended price of 3990 rubles. At the moment, you can find the model in the classic blue color, but later sales will begin in other bright colors. For Moscow Tele2 customers, we would like to remind you that Nokia 3310 does not work in 3G and 4G networks and the phone will not work in the Moscow Tele2 network.

What's new in the new Nokia 3310?

Almost all. From the original Nokia, only its no less original style has been preserved. In all other aspects - we have a modern inexpensive push-button telephone Nokia with advanced features. The most obvious innovations are a color screen (although many expected a monochrome return), a camera and a music player.

Phone for the nostalgic

The new Nokia 3310 did not exact copy its predecessor, but still inherits the iconic silhouette of the original. Yes, instead of a black-and-white display with a pleasant green backlight, a color, but contrasting one is used here modern interface stylized to resemble the simple graphics of low-resolution screens of those times.

The 2.4-inch screen with rounded corners, according to the manufacturer's promises, received a polarizing coating, which allows you to see a clear picture even in bright sunlight. In inexpensive phones and smartphones, it is customary to save on such little things, but for Nokia 3310 is a landmark product, therefore, even in such a simple and inexpensive device, the developers have implemented many pleasant and functional little things, many of which we will consider further.

Not good a high resolution the screen (only 320 × 240) is compensated for by its small physical dimensions, so that the picture will look quite smooth, without pronounced graininess.

In addition to stylized graphics, the familiar Nokia Tune melody has been preserved, which many have already missed.

The new model is thinner and lighter than the original, while the battery has become more capacious, and the legendary reliability, according to Nokia's assurances, remains at its best.

For example, the bright colors of the case do not wear out over time, since the paint is added to the composition of the material, and not just applied to its surface. This and many other solutions are designed to extend the life of the device for many years, which made its famous predecessor famous. Time will show.

How long will it last on a single charge?

Exceptionally long battery life is what modern push-button phones are worth buying. And the novelty has no problems with this.

Judge for yourself, according to official data, in standby mode Nokia 3310 will live up to 31 days under ideal conditions (in reality, you should expect about three weeks with inactive use). A non-stop conversation will drain the battery much later than all the ideas for such long conversations are exhausted - 22 hours, this is the length of calls announced by Nokia.

With regard to entertainment - then everything is on the level. The phone can play music for 51 hours and FM radio up to 39 hours. Unfortunately, the Finnish manufacturer did not specify how long you can play the famous snake, but future reviews and tests will surely show decent numbers.

The game Snake Xenzia from Gameloft acts as a "Snake", in which the graphics have been significantly improved and new features have been added to this event.

Easy to communicate

Fortunately, you don't need to invent any tricks to listen to music - the new phone has the classic and so beloved by everyone 3.5 mm jack, so absolutely all compatible headphones will work perfectly with the revived legend. For those who do not like wires provided bluetooth support third version.

And no more charging problems! In the days of the original Nokia 3310, each manufacturer had its own interface, but now everything has changed - the new 3310 has a standard MicroUSB connector, which is no longer the most advanced, but undoubtedly the most widespread at the moment.

Be online with Nokia 3310 ...

Yes, it sounds strange, but through the 3310 you can now access the Internet. And not just leave, but with comfort - using the super popular Opera Mini browser, which was developed specifically for the Nokia Series 30+ platform (interface for Mediatek systems-on-a-chip). Of course, in simple phone a fairly simple version of the popular browser is installed, with a simplified interface straight from the first versions, not supporting many features modern internet... However, for basic surfing and social networks it will be more than enough.

Hopefully, developers of popular messaging systems like WhatsApp will make a special version for the novelty. It is no longer very convenient to use only SMS for messaging - besides, the new 3310 has a camera, so it can be used to exchange impressions with friends. By the way, there is no selfie camera in the Finnish phone.

How much is an ageless classic?

Official Russian prices have not yet been announced, but a European price of 49 euros was announced at the Barcelona exhibition. In our area, the phone should be sold for no more than 3,500 rubles, and possibly even cheaper. The exact information should be available shortly.

Yes, for this money you can already take a smartphone (for example) with incomparably wider possibilities in all aspects. But no one hides that the classic device from Nokia does not compete with smartphones - it is rather a gadget for nostalgic, those who sadly recall the beginning of the era cell phones and wants to return to those days for a while. Or for those who need a strong and reliable device for voice communication with the most basic functions.

Let's add that we hope for glass protection of the display, as was the case with excellent phones of the series Nokia Asha 311, which also perform well as workhorses thanks in large part to the excellent Gorilla Glass. Many "long-livers" from Phillips and other companies quickly deteriorate due to easily scratched plastic screens.

We are waiting for the appearance of Nokia 3310 in retail in Russia in order to get a more complete picture of it in a detailed review.

I would like to hope that the return of the legendary "thirty-three ten" will be successful, although, whatever it was, Nokia has already received such powerful advertising thanks to the restart of its mega-hit that further sales should not worry them too much. Perhaps we have witnessed one of the most ingenious advertising campaigns in the telecommunications world.

And a small postscript specially for the residents of the capital - in the new 3310, to our great regret, will not work, because it does not support 3G \ 4G networks.

The updated version has almost the same design, but is technically much better than the old one.

Nokia 3310: Price and release date

The price of the new Nokia 3310 is ~ 3000 rubles. It fits perfectly into the budget, for those who need a reliable dialer, there is no better option. The release date of the new Nokia is April / June 2017.

Nokia 3310: Design and display

The weight of the updated tube is 79.6 grams, it has lost 2 orders of magnitude and now the pocket does not pull.

In the new version, everything is just as simple - the body is made of durable plastic, the screen is not touch-sensitive and has a modest 2.4-inch diagonal. The device has support for 2 sim.

Nokia 3310: Interface and Performance

The new version has remained true to its idea and works not on Android or Windows, but on the good old Series 30+ platform. All traditional options from old version will be saved: call log, contacts, SMS, calendar and Opera browser. And of course, an improved snake, in which only the left and right buttons work. On this smartphone you cannot put root , what if someone wants to receive root rights for Nokia 3310.

The four buttons on the keypad can be used to easily control what is happening on the screen, and we found the phone's overall speed to be good. Apps are launched in a split second, and if you take into account that this is not a smartphone, but a traditional phone, then there is nothing to complain about at all.
Our only disappointment with the new Nokia 3310 was that it only works under the 2.5G standard. That is, you will not have access to 3G and 4G networks, so you can only use a stripped-down version of the browser and that's it.
On models made for some markets, it will be possible to install simple versions Twitter apps and Facebook, but they were unavailable during our testing.
The phone also doesn't have Wi-Fi, so you won't be able to connect to more fast network at home or at work. Although it has Bluetooth, music player and a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can listen to any music you put on your microSD card.

Nokia 3310: Battery and Camera

The old Nokia 3310 was known for its excellent battery and we have good news for those looking for the same quality in a new phone.
The available 1200mAh power supply is significantly better than the battery original phone at 900 mAh. And thanks to improved battery efficiency, the new Nokia 3310 has 22 hours of talk time and 31 days of standby time.
That's a big improvement over 2.5 hours of talk time and 260 hours (about 11 days) of standby time for the original Nokia 3310. You can also charge the new 3310 via a standard microUSB cable, so you don't have to scour eBay looking for an old charger.
The old 3310 appeared before manufacturers started to build cameras into phones, but now it's 2017 and it is quite right that the new Nokia 3310 has its own soap dish, even though it is quite low.

At the back you can see a 2-megapixel camera, no flashes, no selfie cameras and other nonsense - that's 3310!

The new Nokia 3310 summing up the results

Those who have straight arms and are in place, who warmly remember the old days, the updated Nokia 3310 will introduce you to nostalgia. Excellent battery low price and indestructible quality are the main advantages of this model. Those who did not live in the 90s will not understand what kind of pipe it is and why there is so much noise around it.

How they find us

• nokia 3310 a new version
• nokia 3310 new version 2017
• nokia 3310 new

Sometimes they come back. Old films, consoles, games, hosts of popular shows. Legends that have become memes over the years. It is not surprising: the easiest way to cut the maximum hype is to reissue timeless classics.

In the case of the Nokia 3310, nothing else could have happened. Successor to Nokia, HMD Global, they needed a phone that could announce to the whole world that the cult brand is back and this is the same Nokia that everyone loved and remembered.

Old-school Finns from the management of this half-Chinese enterprise, as it turned out, are well versed in modern trends. Nokia 3310 was created for the hype. The result was predictable - the device in the majority retail outlets on the second day after the start of sales in Russia.

What is special about it and does it deserve to be rightfully called the proud name of the legendary phone? Let's say right away: we didn't break bricks for them, but you can go online with similar requests.

What's outside

This phone either likes it from the first touch, or causes instant rejection. I liked the new product immediately, although I had never been a fan of Nokia mobile phones before.

The colorful youth box immediately attracts attention, but we got the phone in a dark blue color. The classic version in the style of the old school 3310: matte rough plastic, tight assembly without squeaks and backlashes.

Personally, I like the glossy colors of this model better, but it's hard to find them on sale - disassembled instantly... They are not only brighter, but also feel a little different in the hand. It's hard to put into words, but the bright 3310 immediately looks more modern and attractive.

Yes, gloss collects scratches faster, but matte plastic is easily rubbed off. But with a smooth colorful body, you immediately feel younger and you return to the days of bright phones with buttons.

The shape of these buttons evokes nostalgic memories of old Nokia dialers, but the phone doesn't look much like the original 3310. Familiar, but more modern. Perhaps this is the most correct description. The designers did their best.

The latest simple Nokia backgrounds did not come close in terms of quality and style. I touched them all. New 3310 - best dialer companies over the years.

What is inside

Under the back cover, which is very difficult to remove, there are one or two slots for microSIM cards and a compartment for a microSD memory card up to 32 GB. What for? To take a photo on 2 megapixels camera and music storage. The phone itself has only 16 MB of memory.

Sample photo from 3310. Not bad for 2 megapixels?

The phone is identical to Nokia 150 in terms of filling, the only difference is in the camera resolution and the ability to connect to the Internet. It uses the Series 30+ platform. She does not know very much, but everything you need is here.

A simple player, radio. The menu even offers to watch a video, but you hardly want to do this on a 2.4-inch display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels.

In addition to these functions, it offers a full gentleman's set of units, an alarm clock, a voice recorder, notes, a calendar, a calculator and other good things typical for such phones.

There is even a browser Opera for those who miss the internet on the small screen. But you will have to go online through 2G, no other standards are provided. But that's not the point.

The main thing is that there is Snake... Alas, not the same as before, but pumped by the forces of Gameloft, but also very addictive. The primitive app store allows you to install Twitter and Facebook, but putting such apps on the 3310 is like insulting its very essence.

Take a break from social networks, play Snake, call your family, take a photo with a simple camera, shake the old days. A 1200 mAh battery with a month of standby time and 22 hours of talk time will allow you to make fun of the 3310 in different conditions.

For whom

So who needs this phone for 4,000 rubles that it costs in Russian retail? Nostalgic fans? To old people? Young people tired of social networks? The hipsters and geeks on the lookout for every new mobile device?

All questions can be answered simply: YES.

This phone is for everyone and for no one at the same time. He appeared to shake the dull modern world huge screens, dual cameras and space performance.

Nokia and HMD Global have proven what can be done in 2017 cool a phone without all this, and the whole world will still talk about it.

Thus, we can conclude that the models of the 2000s. and 2017 more differences than similarities. The original design has not survived, the modern version is thinner and lighter, it supports new services, the software has been replaced.

Start of sales and cost of the updated Nokia 3310 (2017)

HMD Global calls the approximate date of mass sales of the updated Nokia 3310 the second quarter of 2017. The price will be budget, about 49 € or 52 $. It is in the European market that manufacturers expect the main demand for the model, and they do not plan to bring it to the American market at all.

The start of sales of the updated Nokia 3310 in Russia. The price of the updated Nokia 3310

On May 16, sales of the updated Nokia versions 3310. The cost of the phone is 3990 rbl., which is more than 30% higher than the price originally estimated.

Advantages of the updated Nokia 3310 (2017)

One of the reasons for the high interest in the new model is, of course, the nostalgia of users who are tired of fragile and expensive smartphones, at the time of the first, symbolizing the progress of phones. Longing for the past is played by such a marketing move as the game "Snake".

An unconditional advantage is the affordable price of the model. In addition, modern models are quite expensive to repair. In the event of a malfunction, Nokia 3310 elements are simply removed, which does not create problems for replacement or repair.

Like the original model, the remake boasts a powerful battery, which, according to the manufacturers, is 22 hours of talk time and a month of battery life.

Of course, the manufacturers tried to repeat the strength and "indestructibility" of the phone at the beginning of the 2000s. However, it is too early to say how much this was possible.

For "non-advanced" users important point is a no-frills phone design and a non-touch screen. It is easy to type messages on it, and the menu has a classic look. Navigation through the applications is carried out in four directions of the navigation button-joystick (up, down, left and right), on both sides of which are built-in call and end buttons.

Disadvantages of the updated Nokia 3310 (2017)

The lack of modernity, the simple interface is the main drawback of the new Nokia 3310. Even budget smartphones support networks of the fourth generations () and Wi-Fi, which cannot be said about Nokia 3310. The camera of the model also does not differ in quality. If we take the 2000s, then one could only dream of such a camera, but in real 2017 it is an irrelevant decision. Most likely, the phone can rely on the audience for which the mobile phone is, in the old fashioned way, only a means of communication. Also, users buy the updated Nokia 3310 for history or as a second device.

Experts are careful with forecasts of the future of the updated Nokia 3310. Despite the active marketing campaign of the manufacturers, the 2017 model can hardly be called the reincarnation of the 2000 model. In addition, the requirements for mobile phones... Nokia 3310 was the flagship of its time, 2000s, and whether it will be able to conquer the modern audience for which the phone has become a way of life, the question is open.

Whether the updated Nokia 3310 will become a marketing built on nostalgia or a revived legend, how much the remake will be able to repeat the success of its predecessor and bypass the popularity of universal smartphones, can be judged only after sales begin.

Elite models of the updated Nokia 3310

Two manufacturers of luxury devices at once, Gresso and Caviar, announced their intention to release an updated premium Nokia 3310. Gresso expects to keep the parameters of the phone, but give it metal case made from a slab of aviation titanium, and poured out of titanium for each button. This uniqueness will make the model premium and so durable that a fall from 10 meters will go unnoticed.

Caviar has announced that it will release two exclusive models. One is distinguished by the presence of gold elements on the titanium case, applied using the Double Electroplated technology. The second is a unique bulletproof titanium engraved using the “Damascus” technique.

Information about the structure, principles of operation of subscriber devices, their speed indicators (depending on the category), as well as, in general, about the principles of operation mobile communications and her role in our life read in the new book " Mobile communications on the road to 6G". Also, the book deals with issues of economic and marketing nature: promising technologies and their areas of application, which technologies and high-tech products are promising to invest in, and which ones will become obsolete in the near or medium term? In addition, the authors consider the professions of specialists that will be in demand on the labor market, and which professions will leave the market.

Nokia 3310 Dual sim(2017) is a budget push-button phone announced in February 2017. This model from HMD Global is the reincarnation of the legendary Nokia phone 3310, which was produced from 2000 to 2005.
