New Nokia 3310 Vs Original Nokia 3310 MWC 2017 Nokia 3310 vs Nokia 3310: What's the difference 17 years on?
The rumors were true - the iconic Nokia 3310 is back and it even has Snake. A refreshed version of the 3310, known for its simple design and a nearly indestructible shell, was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday.
Wait, what?
Yes, that's right, the Nokia 3310 is back from the dead, 17 years later. The iconic phone that was originally launched in 2000 has now been updated. As Nokia looks to launch a new range of Android smartphones, the only phone that people are talking about is this retro wonder, the Nokia 3310.
I’m Kayra and you are watching KaraMazu. In this video, we will talk about Nokia 3310.
Design and build
Nearly half the weight and thickness, but slightly taller and wider. But it's not just about the weight.
Gone are the squared corners, giving way to softer curves that make the Nokia 3310 all the more comfortable to hold. At the same time, the profile of the new phone lacks the crude muscularity of the 2000 version.
The Nokia 3310 is still plastic, however it's now glossy in red, yellow, blue, grey. The 2017 Nokia 3310 has a removable back cover, so you can change it, or to access the battery.
On a serious note, the button layout across the middle of the new 3310 is entirely different, less linear, but still rather basic.
Display
The original Nokia 3310 had a glorious 1.5-inch display with a pixel density of 65 ppi that was monochrome. It was just about enough to read SMS messages, make out the numbers you tapped and play Snake. It was flat, offering great contrast, simple and to the point.
The new Nokia 3310 has a huge (by comparison) display at 2.4-inches with a pixel density of 167 ppi, stretching over the top half of the phone and curving away to the top. It's also now color, so the experience is rather different. The new display also has polarizing layer to aid sunlight visibility.
Connectivity
Fortunately the new Nokia 3310 has moved with the times a bit more. There's Bluetooth to connect to a headset or your car, there's Micro-USB for charging - so no need for that bulky charger - the option for microSD to expand the storage, 3.5mm headphone socket to listen to music or the FM radio. Neither phone offers 3G, 4G though, this is strictly 2G all the way, so it's a phone for talking.
Camera
In 2000 the notion of having a camera on a phone was slightly alien. Why would you need one? There were no social networks, the selfie didn't exist and you'd never have been able to share it anyway. Ok, so Friends Reunited launched in June 2000, but really?
In 2017, most phones are judged by their cameras. It's the central feature for many, replacing the cheap compact camera segment with social networks killing the notion of printing photos and making albums.
The new 3310 has a 2MP rear camera with LED flash, but we suspect the experience is not going to be worth it.
Battery
The thing that the original 3310 was known for was battery life. In those days, of course, you weren't playing Pokemon Go, snapping Insta selfies and streaming music. You just got the occasional message from a friend, or placed a few. But the battery didn't last forever, it just lasted days.
The new Nokia 3310 battery does almost last forever. With 31 days of standby and 22 hours talk time, you'll be hard pushed to drain this battery. This is a phone you can probably go away with for a week and not need to worry about the charger.
Snake Game
Snake was the iconic game of the 3310 and other Nokia phones. Snake didn't need to be any better, it was basic, but it worked.
The 2017 version of Snake isn't the same thing. It's been reworked by Gameloft, it's full color, smoothly animated and it seems, well, boring. It lacks the retro charm of the original, that simple throwback wonderment of that old Snake game.
Price
Phones used to be a lot more expensive. The Nokia 3310 was one of the more affordable at around Rs. 5k, and for many it was the first mobile phone they had, bringing freedom of communication away from landlines.
In 2017 you get a lot of phone for that money. You can get a full-featured entry-level smartphone for that money, so it's no surprise that the new 3310 is only Rs. 3.5k.
