Nokia 3310 (2017)

“The Nokia 3310's sole purpose for existing is that it looks a little bit like the phones we used to own as teenagers. That's not really a selling point. It's barely an idea.”

“The Nokia 3310 3G looks and feels like a 2005-era phone, which doesn't take advantage of 2017's voice technologies.”

“For most people, the 3310 isn’t going to be a phone you buy as a primary mobile device. Its functions are way too limited, and considering how cheap smartphones are getting these days, the £50 price point won’t feel cheap enough to make the cost savings tempting either. Even as basic, no-frills device, it feels limited and expensive. You could buy a Nokia 150 - as an example - and save yourself £30.”

“At the end of the day, the Nokia 3310 is a play for nostalgia, and how much you care will depend on how much affection you have for the old Nokia bricks. It’s not going to replace your smartphone - and it doesn’t want to - but it could be a cheap supplement (although the SIM size is annoying). And yeah, you could already buy another feature phone for cheaper, but between the epic battery life and the sheer Nokia factor (and Snake!) we know where our loyalties lie.”
