The Apple iPhone had been released and there were other phones now featuring bigger touchscreens. Of course, in the year since the Nokia 6300, plenty had happened in the world of mobile phones. It was one of the first phones to have the ‘Classic’ tag to reinforce this. ![]() But the winning formula seemed too good to waste and the Nokia 6120 was a slimmed down version of the powerhouses. After this, Nokia began saving some of their better technology for the N-series of phones, such as the Nokia N95. The blueprint for this phone was easy: some great candybar type models had already been seen from Nokia in the Nokia 6230 and Nokia 6300. While one could easily dismiss this phone as just a novelty item, banking purely on nostalgia, it’s those exact factors that could make the device hard to get a hold of as a collector’s item.Nokia 6120 Review: The Nokia 6120 was an interesting release. The phone will be available in Q2 of this year, possibly as soon as May. It’ll cost €49, which roughly translates to $52. The phone will come in 4 different colors: dark blue, grey, yellow, and red. It’s also chargeable via microUSB.įinally, if you’re Apple, the ultimate throwback is the headphone jack which lets you use the 3310 as a music player (though you’ll need to use the expandable memory unless your music library is small enough to fit in the 16 MB of storage). The new 3310 has a 1200mAh battery (vs the 900mAh of the original) that promises 22 hours of talk time and an entire month on standby. With all these caveats, there has to be something more to the device than nostalgia, and that’s the battery life. Twitter and Facebook apps will be coming to the phone at some point. There actually will be an app store for additional games and apps, though the selection is unlikely to reach the breadth of iOS or Android’s stores. Oh, and, of course, an updated version of the legendary Snake game. ![]() With it, you can navigate classic built-in apps, such as Call Logs, Contacts, Calculator, Messages, Calendar, Browser, Camera, Voice Recorder, Radio, and Music Player. Without a touchscreen, the 2-way directional pad has been upgraded to a 4-way navigation pad. The new 3310 is thinner (12.8 mm vs 22 mm) and lighter (79.6 grams vs 137 grams) the original. There isn’t even an option to connect to Wi-Fi to circumvent the legacy speeds. The phone is a 2G device, so you can only expect a very basic Internet experience at a snail’s pace if you’re used to 3G or 4G networks. The 16 MB of onboard is a major throwback to the limited capacity of the days of yore, though, luckily, this is expandable with microSD cards.īluetooth is another added convenience to the device, but that’s it when it comes to wireless modern connectivity. However, you’ll only be able to store about 7 photos on the device before you run out of space. One major upgrade from the original 3310 is the 2-Megapixel camera (without flash), as the original existed before camera phones became the norm. If you’re tired of the deluge of numerous Android and iOS phones, the 3310 runs on Nokia’s own Series 30+ operating system. It’s not a touchscreen, so you’ll have to do your navigation with an old school physical number pad. It features a low-resolution 240 x 320 screen, though it’s a backlit color display, a major improvement on the monochromatic LCD of the original. The 2017 Nokia 3310 is a throwback all the way down to the specs of the device. ![]()
