3310 UK-SIM Free Feature Phone - Warm Red

👍

The hype for Snake, T9 texts and sleek design has turned the 3310’s relaunch into a big event for me. But 2G connectivity and a rubbish camera bring you back to earth which is absolutely fine by me, I am nostalgic for the original 3310 after all. The “new” Nokia 3310 is more like a homage to the original than a straight-up remake. It looks vaguely like the original, thanks to its blue and grey colour scheme, oval buttons and Nokia logo. But the screen – now a 2.4in QVGA colour beast – and the body are vastly improved, at least within the realms of a “candybar” feature phone that would be at home in the year 2024.The back comes off to expose the removable battery, micro-sim and microSD card slot – here you’ll need the older, slightly larger sim card size, not the modern nano-sim, or at least an adapter. The front is fixed, so pick your colour wisely, blue and grey is perfect for me. In the top there’s a microUSB slot for power, which means no more tiny pin Nokia charger, and the bottom has something even Apple’s iPhone can’t boast: a headphone jack.To sum up, this phone is great for basic phone functions, a bit pricey though, and I will try to update this post with the battery life when it dies

I chose Nokia for my elderly Mother, as I have fond memories of my Nokias of the past. She only needs it to make and receive calls and I thought it would be ideal. Unfortunately, the build quality is shocking and the buttons so hard to use. The phone has now stopped working and it will no longer turn on even after charging. I only bought it at Christmas.

The battery died after one change, replaced it £11, its a good little phone and I am happy with it, mine in grey, was £37.

I still have three of my/my family's old Nokia 3310's and they are still in good condition and going strong. However, I wanted to try this new updated version and I am not disappointed. It is still the basic old phone I loved but with a few modern features added to it WITHOUT turning it into an all bells and whistles phone. I think the addition of a BASIC camera/video recorder is a good one being only 2mp. The internet is a slow 2G like the WAP which the 3330 had (3310 with the addition of internet). Yes it is basic and very understated but that was the idea of it, it was never intended to replace our smartphones. I have an iPhone 6s Plus as my main phone and this Nokia 3310 works nicely as a spare alongside that.If you are thinking of buying this phone for playing Snake, please bear in my mind that the game has been modernised. I quite like it but if you miss the old snake game I have found it on the App Store for IOS (not sure about Android's Play store)...it's called 'Snake '97' and it is pretty much exactly like the old favourite. You can even go into settings and choose which virtual Nokia you want to play it on and it will appear on screen as that exact same phone with buttons and everything. But give the new Snake a try also, it's a nice update for this new 3310.It is nice to use a phone with physical buttons again and for me this does not seem too strange as I have my old large size sim from a different network (had that same sim card for 16 years) in another candy bar phone, so I'm used to actual buttons on a keypad.This is a lovely looking and perfect sized phone that is a slightly different size and shape of the original but is still instantly recognisable and I am so pleased I got it. I have the yellow one and it is stunning.I was fortunate enough to have preordered this phone two months before it's release so I got it at the reasonable price of £49, a bit different to the extortionate ridiculous prices that greedy third party sellers are now asking for it.

This Nokia phone came with a non standard UK plug. I couldn’t find which country it came from and gave up searching in the end. After moving the upper prong it was clearly a UK plug that can be folded for travel purposes.It doesn’t have the now standard USB-C port which was annoying on a new phone.The numbers on the keypad are difficult to see.The phone feels cheap and not a patch on the original.On the basis of my experience of this purchase, I returned the 3310 opted for the 2024 Nokia 3210 and all the above issues have been solved. Same plug but happy that it’s easy to use.Thank you for reading my review, I do hope this was helpful. Kind regards.

It is very difficult to see the writing on the keypad esspecially when it lights up. Also it will not connect to the internet. When you click on Opea Mini it tels you to go to a brower which doesn't exsist.
