5 Awesome Specs For The Revamped Nokia 3310

At this year’s Mobile World Congress technology conference, Nokia in collaboration with HMD Global, the company launched a handful of Android-based smartphones relaunched a revamped thin, light and incredibly durable Nokia 3310 that was the dubbed as an ‘iconic mobile handset’.

Even though it’s still a basic feature phone, the refreshed Nokia 3310 comes with quite a few extra features and enhancements over its predecessor, which came out in 2000. Check out the 5 exciting features.

1. Available in Dual-SIM
Dual SIM users can relieve the nostalgia too, as the new Nokia 3310 also comes in a dual-SIM configuration, in addition to the standard single-SIM variant. However, both versions only support mini SIM cards.

2. Music player with microSD card support
The refreshed Nokia 3310 comes with a built-in MP3 player. And even though the internal storage is just 16MB, your have an option for an expansion microSD slot of up to 32GB.

3. 2MP rear camera with LED flash
The original Nokia 3310 couldn’t be used to take pictures because it didn’t have a camera. The refreshed variant takes care of that problem, thanks to its 2MP rear camera with LED flash. It may be a low resolution module but for basic shots, it’s more than enough. Some smartphones today also do feature a 2MP rear camera, so do ignore the 3310 because of its minor camera.[related-posts]

4. Supports MicroUSB Charging
The old Nokia 3310 came with a pin charger port, but the new one has a more standard microUSB part just like one of today’s smartphones. So you can use just about any microUSB charging cable.
