Maalmahan waxaan tijaabinay mid ka mid ah rooxaantii tobankii sano ee la soo dhaafay: Nokia 3310 ! Hubaal inaad maqashay. Waa mid ka mid ah taleefannada astaanta u ah horraantii 2000aadkii. Waxaa jira dad badan oo ilaa hadda xusuusta teleefankan oo niyad jab ka dareemaya waayihii uu maamuli jiray Mobile-ka. Haddii aad dareento in hordhacu uu ku saabsan yahay dinosaurs, hambalyo, sax baad tahay! Nokia 3310 ayaa dabar go'ay ilaa ay sanadkan dib u soo noolaysay HMD Global^{(HMD Global)} oo ah shirkadda hadda leh astaanta Nokia . Kaftan^(Joking) dhinac ah, waxaan aad u xiisaynnay inaan tijaabino Nokia 3310 -ka cusub^{(Nokia 3310)}. Waxaan jecelnahay qaabka asalka ah waxaanan rajo ka qabnay dib u fasiriddiisa casriga ah. Ka dib markii aan isticmaalnay labadii maalmood ee la soo dhaafay, waa kan ra'yigayada ku saabsan qalloocan casriga ah ee halyeey:

Baakaynta, naqshadaynta iyo dhisidda tayada Nokia 3310

Nokia 3310 waa waxa aad ugu yeeri karto teleefan muuqaal ah, taas oo aan ahayn wax kale laakiin magac qurxoon oo qalab kale oo duug ah oo leh astaamo aad uga yar inta aad filan karto. Waa "telefoon doqon" oo aan lahayn sifooyin casri ah, laakiin leh wax badan oo nostalgia ah oo lagu duubay.

Taleefankan gacanta waxa uu galay mishiinka wakhtiga sanadii 2000 waxana uu soo baxay maanta. 🙂 Sidaa darteed, Nokia 3310 wuxuu ku yimaadaa sanduuq yar oo labajibbaaran, oo ay ku yaalliin sawirro qoraallo u eg. Waxaan u aragnaa wax lagu qoslo in muuqaaladu yihiin kuwo sinta ah oo si cad loogu talagalay dhalinyarada. Waxaan hubnaa in badi dadka xiiseeya teleefankan aanay ahayn kuwa da'yar.

Dhanka dambe ee xirmada, waxaad ku arki kartaa dhammaan "sifooyinka" lagama maarmaanka ah oo ay bixiso Nokia 3310 , sida kamaraddeeda 2 megapixels ama xaqiiqda ah in ay la socoto Snake preinstalled. 🙂

Fur sanduuqa, oo waxaad ka heli Nokia 3310 telefoonka, batari go'i karo, charger, headset iyo dukumeenti caadiga ah (Hagaha bilowga degdega ah iyo kaarka damaanadda).

Dabeyuhu aad buu u yar yahay wuxuuna isticmaalaa bakaylaha USB-ga^(USB) yar si uu u soo saaro 5 volts ee koronto oo leh 550mA. Batarigu waxa uu leeyahay awood 1200mAh ah taas oo aan u muuqan wax badan oo loogu talagalay heerarka casriga ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waa batari deeqsinimo leh haddii aad tixgeliso inta tamarta yar ee uu u baahan yahay taleefanka gacanta si uu u shaqeeyo. Sida laga soo xigtay Nokia , batarigu waa inuu ku filan yahay inuu telefoonka ku sii jiro ugu badnaan saacadaha 22.1, wakhtiga sugitaanka ugu badnaan ilaa 31 maalmood (wow!), ugu badnaan MP3 dib-u-ciyaarista saacadaha 51. iyo wakhtiga dib-u-ciyaarista raadiyaha FM ugu badnaan ilaa 39 saacadood.

Nokia 3310 waxa lagu heli karaa afar midab oo kala duwan: casaan diiran, jaalle, cawl, iyo buluug madow. Qaabka aan tijaabinay wuxuu ahaa midabka buluuga ah ee madow, kaas oo sidoo kale ah midab ay isticmaali jirtay Nokia 3310 asalka ah ee 2000-yadii. Mar labaad, midabada ayaa aad u sinta oo loogu talagalay dhagaystayaasha da'da yar.

Haddii aad u iibsato Nokia 3310 nostalgia dartii, waxaad u badan tahay inaad dooratid mid buluug madow ama cawl ah, labadaba matte. Haddii aad tahay hipster-ka raba taleefanka canabka ah laakiin leh muuqaal jahawareer leh, markaa waxaad doorbidi kartaa moodooyinka casaanka ama jaalaha ah ee dhalaalaya. Nasiib darro, waa in aad ogaataa in daboolladu aanay ahayn kuwo la beddeli karo si aanad bedeli karin midabada mar kasta oo aad ka daashid mid. Daboolka dambe oo keliya ayaa la siibi karaa.

Marka lagu jiro da'da casriga ah ee 6 inch, Nokia 3310 waa kaliya 4.55 x 2 inches (115.6 x 51 mm) dhererka iyo ballaca. Waxay leedahay dhumuc dhan 0.5 inji (12.8 mm) waxayna culeyskeedu yahay 2.86 wiqiyadood (81 garaam).

Marka aad gacanta ku qabato oo aad si taxadar leh u falanqeyso, Nokia 3310 waxa uu dareemayaa jaban. Tayada dhismaheeda cidna ma cajabinayso: balaastikada uu jidhka teleefanku ka samaysan yahay ayaa ah tan ugu jaban ee laga heli karo suuqa. Jaldiga dambe waxa uu dareemaya in uu kala go'ayo marka aad iska saarto oo aad dib ugu dhejiso waxa ay u baahan tahay xoog badan oo ka badan intii aad filaysay.

Naqshadayntu inkasta oo ay aad u wanagsan tahay, waxa ay ka duwan tahay tayada wax-dhisidda: shaashadu waa yara qaloocsan tahay, furaha ka hooseeyana waxa uu u muuqdaa mid qurux badan. Midabada la isticmaalo waa kuwo lagu farxo, si muuqaal ahaan, telefoonkani waa mid aad u qurux badan.

Nasiib darro, badhamada ku yaal boonbadhka aad bay u yar yihiin, furayaasha marinkuna waa kuwo aan la isticmaali karin qof kasta oo qaangaar ah oo leh gacmo iyo fara celcelis ahaan cabbirkoodu yahay. Markii aan isku dayay nuskii aan isku dayay in aan riixo badhamada sare, hoose, midig ama bidix, waxa aan ku soo afjaray in aan riixo badhanka Enter/OK .

Shaashaddu waxay leedahay cabbir dhan 2.4 inch iyo xallinta bandhig QVGA ah, taas oo ah nooca gaaban ee Quarter VGA waxayna la mid tahay 320 × 240 pixels.

Marka laga reebo dekedda Micro USB ee loo isticmaalo dallacaadda iyo wareejinta xogta ee laga helay cidhifka sare iyo 3.5mm maqalka maqalka ee laga helay cidhifka hoose, Nokia 3310 ma laha dekedo kale oo gaar ah ama badhamada dhinacyadeeda.

Dhanka dambe, Nokia 3310 wuxuu leeyahay kamarad 2 megapixels ah iyo Flash^(LED) flash. Ku dhow, waxa kale oo jira giraangiraha hadalka iyo astaanta Nokia .

Si loo kaydiyo sawirada iyo fiidiyowyada aad ku duubto kamaradkeeda, Nokia 3310 waxay ku siinaysaa kayd gudaha ah oo dhan 16 MB, kaas oo aad isticmaali karto 1.4 MB oo baaxad leh. 🙂 Nasiib wanaag, taleefanku wuxuu sidoo kale aqbalayaa kaarka MicroSD ilaa 32 GB. Kaarka waxaa la gelin karaa midigta hoosteeda booska SIM- ka. Isagoo ka hadlaya kaararka SIM , Nokia 3310 wuxuu ku shaqeeyaa Micro SIM kaliya .

Telefoonkan waxa lagu heli karaa hal iyo dual-SIM noocyo kala duwan, laakiin midkoodna ma isticmaali karo shabakadaha 3G ama 4G. Nokia 3310 waxa ay ku xidhmi kartaa oo kaliya shabakadaha 2G^{(Nokia 3310 can only connect to 2G networks)} , taas oo macnaheedu yahay in laga yaabo in aanad isticmaali karin gabi ahaanba haddii talefankaagu isticmaalo kaliya shabakadaha raadiyaha ee 3G/4G. Ma jiro wax ku xidhan Wi-Fi talefankan, kaliya Bluetooth .

Nokia 3310-ka cusub waa talefan fudud oo soo jiray xilli kale, oo laga sameeyay qaybo jaban oo tayadiisu liidato. Ma jiraan wax gaar ah oo ku xidhan, oo ma jirto sifo ka dhigaysa inay soo baxdo. Waxa kaliya ee ugu wanaagsan waa in ay u muuqato mid ka wanaagsan nuqulkii asalka ahaa ee sannadkii 2000.^{(The new Nokia 3310 is a simple phone from another era, made from cheap components and with a rather poor build quality. There's nothing special bundled with it, and there's no feature that makes it stand out. The only major positive is that it looks better than the original version from the year 2000.)}

Software iyo apps

Haddii aad da' weyn tahay (sidayada oo kale), waxa laga yaabaa inaad xasuusato waagii hore ee software-ka talefanku uu fududaa isticmaalkiisuna uu ahaa mid dhib badan. Haddii aad da'yar tahay, waxay u badan tahay inaad soo iibsato "telefoon doqon ah" sida Nokia 3310 si aad u ogaato sida ay talefannada gacantu u ahaan jireen waagaas. Waxaad u mahadcelin doontaa casrigaaga casriga ah haddii aad tan sameyso.

Nokia 3310 waxa ay isticmaashaa nidaam u gaar ah oo asal ahaan loo yaqaan Nokia Series 30+ , kaas oo la mid ah kii aanu ku aragnay in lagu isticmaalo talefanka Nokia 150 ee aanu dib u eegnay wakhti ka hor. Waxay u egtahay mid duug ah, laakiin waxay ku siinaysaa dhammaan agabka aad ka fili karto taleefanka "sifada".

Marka aad dhex dhex marayso interface interface, waxaad ogaan doontaa in Nokia 3310 uu leeyahay qalab ay ka mid yihiin Call Log , Contacts , Aarm^(Alarm) clock, Calendar , Message^(Messaging) , Calculator , Notes , iyo Voice recorder. Waxa kale oo jira app kamarada ah, ^(Camera)FM Radio app, shabakad ku dhex dhisan ( Opera Mini ), abka Cimilada^(Weather) , iyo xataa abka laga yaabo in uu calaamad u noqdo telefoonada Nokia : ciyaarta Snake . 🙂

Haddii aad la yaabban tahay, waayo-aragnimadayada adeegsiga abkaas oo dhan waxay ahayd lid ku ah waxa aad ugu yeeri lahayd cajiib. Waayo-aragnimada isticmaaluhu aad bay u taariikhaysan tahay si loogu raaxaysto heerarka casriga ah. Waxaad ugu yeeri doontaa wax aan ahayn "user saaxiibtinimo."

Hal shay oo nostalgics ah ayaa hubaal ku raaxaysan doona waa ciyaarta Snake , ugu yaraan dhowr wareeg. Taas ka dib, waxay u badan tahay inaad ogaan doonto sida ay u daal badan tahay in la ciyaaro.

Waxa kale oo jira "dukaanka" - Opera Mobile Store - oo ay ku jiraan qaar ka mid ah barnaamijyada Java iyo ciyaaraha, laakiin nasiib daro, ma jirto meel taleefoonka ah oo lagu rakibo midna ilaa aad sidoo kale ku darto kaarka Micro SD . Xitaa haddii aad sameyso, ma jiraan wax faa'iido leh oo run ahaantii ku jira gudaha Opera Mobile Store . Ha filanin inaad ka heli karto WhatsApp ama Facebook halkaas.

Waxaan jeclaan lahayn inaan tilmaamno in Nokia 3310 uu si fiican u shaqeeyo marka aad isticmaasho offline. Haddii aad rabto inaad internetka ku isticmaasho, fur browserka webka oo ku dhex soco Webka^(Web) , waad niyad jabi doontaa: internetku wuxuu u muuqdaa mid aad uga duwan sidii hore, markaad ku dhex aragto shaashad kaliya 240 x 320 pixels.

Nokia 3310 waxa uu ku shaqeeyaa nidaam hawleed aad u fudud waxana uu leeyahay ^{(The Nokia 3310 runs on a very simple operating system and has )}qaar ka mid ah ^{(some basic )}apps-yada aasaasiga ah ee ku dhex jira. In kasta oo ayan saaxiibtinimo ku ahayn isticmaalka, waxay sameeyaan waxaad ka filayso inay sameeyaan waxayna daboolaan dhammaan baahiyaha aasaasiga ah ee isticmaale taleefanka aan fasiraad lahayn.^{(built-in apps. Although they're not friendly to use, they do what you expect them to do and they do cover all the basic needs of an unpretentious phone user.)}

Waayo-aragnimada telefoonka ee Nokia 3310

Nokia 3310 sidoo kale waa talefan dhexdhexaad ah marka laga hadlayo shaqadiisa ugu weyn ee ah taleefanka. Waxa aan u isticmaalay in yar oo aan la sheekaysto dad kale kuwaas oo isticmaalaya shabakado kala duwan oo mobile ah iyo telefoono iyo telefoono kala duwan. 🙂 Had iyo jeer, Nokia 3310 wuxuu lahaa dhawaq dhegta laga saaray wuxuuna u dhiibay cod echoey ah dadkii aan la hadlayay.

Waxa kaliya ee wanaagsan ee aan ka sheegi karno Nokia 3310 waa in batarigiisu uu sii jiro waqti aad u badan oo aad u nugul tahay inaad illowdo goorta aad dallaci doonto. Waxaan haysanay ku dhawaad ​​hal usbuuc hadda, halkan Digital Citizen , iyo markii aan gacanta ku hayno, waxa ugu horreeya ee aan sameynay waxay ahayd si buuxda. Waxaa hadda laga joogaa 5 maalmood, waxayna wali u muuqataa in baytarigiisu uu buuxsamay 70%. Anagoo tixgalinayna inaan sidoo kale ku tijaabinay wada-hadallada taleefanka muddadan, waa madax-bannaani cajiib ah.

Nokia 3310 waa talefan bixisa tayada codka dhexdhexaadka ah ee wada sheekaysiga telefoonka, laakiin maamusha in uu soo jiito baytarigiisa muddada dheer.^{(Nokia 3310 is a phone that offers mediocre sound quality in phone conversations, but which manages to impress with its long lasting battery.)}

Khibrada kamarad ee Nokia 3310

Kamarada laga helay Nokia 3310 waxa loo xayaysiiyaa sida "2 MP camera with LED flash for snaps fudud", taasina waa sida ay tahay. Dareenka sawirku aad buu u yar yahay, tayada sawiraduna way dhaafsiisan tahay wax kasta oo aad u badan tahay inaad baratay. Sawiradu ma laha wax tafaasiil ah, midabadu waxay ku dhow yihiin xaqiiqda kaliya marka sawirada dibadda lagu qaado xaaladaha iftiinka aadka u wanaagsan, iyo isbarbardhigga wanaagsan iyo caddayntu maaha waxyaabo aad arki doonto. Isticmaalka kaliya ee wanaagsan ee sawirada iyo fiidyowyada aad ku toogto Nokia 3310 waa u dirida fariimaha. Ma jirto wax macno ah in lagu soo bandhigo shaashad weyn sida kan kombayutarkaga ama TV-gaaga, waxaanan aragnaa gabi ahaanba wax macno ah in la isku dayo in lagu daabaco warqad. Natiijooyinka ugu dambeeya waxay noqon doonaan kuwo aan fiicnayn.

Sawirka hoose waxaad ka arki kartaa sida ay kamaradu u xun tahay sawir qaadista - waxaanu ku soo darnay sawirada gudaha iyo dibaddaba, meelaha u dhow iyo muuqaalka muuqaalka.

Duubista fiidiyowyadu waxay u xun yihiin sida sawir qaadista. Nokia 3310 si fiican uma samayn karo, marka ma jirto faa'iido badan oo la isku dayayo ilaa aad ku dhacdo inaad ku dhowaato dhacdo aad muhiim u ah sida shisheeyaha soo degaya Dhulka^(Earth) . Haddii kale^(Otherwise) , kaliya ha samayn! 🙂 Waa kan muunad muuqaal ah oo aanu ku tooganay dibadda, si aan fikrad uga helno waxa la filayo:

Nokia 3310 maaha talefan la iibsanayo haddii aad rabto inaad sawirto oo aad filim sameyso. Si fudud looguma dhisin wax caynkaas ah. Sidoo kale, waa in aad iibsatid kaarka Micro SD haddii aad rabto in aad u isticmaasho sawir qaadis ama duubid muuqaal ah.^{(The Nokia 3310 is not a phone to buy if you want to shoot photos and film videos. It simply wasn't built for that sort of thing. Also, you must buy a Micro SD card if you want to use it for picture taking or video recording.)}

Faa'iidada iyo khasaaraha

Waxaa jira qaar wanaagsan oo ku saabsan Nokia 3310 :

• Marka laga eego dhinaca muuqaalka, taleefankani wuxuu u muuqdaa mid wanaagsan
• Waxay bixisaa nolol batari oo waarta
• Suuqgeynta-xikmad leh, soo noolaynta halyeey sida Nokia 3310 waa fikrad wanaagsan

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaa jira khasaare badan oo ku saabsan telefoonkan:

• Tayada dhismuhu waxay ka soo horjeedaa muuqaalada wanaagsan. Taleefankani waxa uu ka samaysan yahay walxo raqiis ah oo aad uga fog in ay u adkeystaan ​​sida kuwa asalka ah.
• Waxaa loo isticmaali karaa oo keliya shabakadaha 2G. Waa wax aan la isticmaali karin haddii hawlwadeenka moobiilku bixiyo kaliya shabakadaha 3G/4G
• Tayada codka liidata ee wicitaanada telefoonka
• Apps-ka ku jira teleefankan ma aha kuwa degdeg ah, ma fududa in la isticmaalo mana aha kuwo faa'iido leh
• Kamaradu waa mid aan loo isticmaali karin heerarka casriga ah
• Taleefankani qiimihiisu aad buu u badan yahay waxa uu bixiyo

Xukun

Nooca 2017 ee Nokia 3310 waa talefan sifada leh oo door wanaagsan u ah dadka xiisaynsan oo xusuusta "maalmihii hore ee wacnaa" ee horraantii 2000aadkii. Waa talefan loogu talagalay dadka doonaya inay ka fogaadaan "xilliga casriga" waana talefan kayd ah oo aad isticmaali karto marka batteriga taleefankaaga casriga ahi dhinto. Iyadoo muuqaal ahaan, ay u egtahay qalab loo sameeyay dhalinyarada, dhalinyarada si joogta ah u isticmaala taleefoonada casriga ah ayaa neceb. Waxaa laga yaabaa in qaar ka mid ah hipsters-yada da'da yar ay ku raaxaystaan ​​isticmaalka laakiin taasi waa ku saabsan tahay. Sidoo kale, "cusub" Nokia 3310 aad ayuu qaali u yahay wuxuuna ku guul darreystay sida saxda ah halkii awoowgeed uu ahaa halyeey: tayada dhismaheeda. Xayeysiinta agagaarka Nokia 3310 ma mudneyn!

Reviewing the Nokia 3310 - How nostalgia sells mediocre phones at a high price

These days we tested оne of the ghоsts of the last decade: thе Nokіa 3310! You surely have heard of it. It is one of thе most emblematic phones of the early 2000s. There are a lot of peоple who ѕtill remember this phone and who feel noѕtаlgic about the timеs when іt ruled the mobile world. If you feel like this introduction is about dinosaurs, congrats, you're right! The Nokia 3310 was extіnct until it got resυrreсtеd this year by HMD Global, the сompany that now owns the Nokia brand. Јoking asidе, we were very curіous to test the new Nokia 3310. We loved the origіnal model and we had some hopes fоr its modеrn rеinterpretation. After usіng it for the last couple оf days, here's our opinіon about this modern twist on a legend:

Packaging, design and build quality of the Nokia 3310

The Nokia 3310 is what you would call a feature phone, which is nothing else but a fancy name for an otherwise old device with far fewer features than you might expect. It's a "dumb phone" with no modern day features, but with a whole lot of nostalgia taped on it.

This mobile phone entered the time machine in the year 2000 and got out today. 🙂 Therefore, the Nokia 3310 comes in a small square box, with graffiti-like illustrations painted on it. We find it funny that the visuals are very hip and clearly aimed at young people. We're pretty sure that most people that are interested in this phone are not exactly young.

On the back of the package, you can see all the essential "features" offered by Nokia 3310, such as its 2 megapixels camera or the fact that it comes with Snake preinstalled. 🙂

Open the box, and you find the Nokia 3310 phone, the detachable battery, the charger, a headset and the usual documentation (quick start guide and warranty card).

The charger is very small and uses a micro USB plug to output 5 volts DC electrical current with a power rating of 550 mA. The battery has a capacity of 1200mAh which doesn't sound like a lot for modern standards. However, it is a generous battery if you consider how little energy is needed by a mobile phone to function. According to Nokia, the battery should be enough to keep the phone on for a maximum talk time of up to 22.1 hours, a maximum standby time of up to 31 days (wow!), a maximum MP3 playback time of up to 51 hours, and a maximum FM radio playback time of up to 39 hours.

The Nokia 3310 is available in four different colors: warm red, yellow, gray, and dark blue. The model that we tested was the dark blue colored, which is also a color that was used by the original Nokia 3310 from the 2000s. Again, the colors are very hip and aimed at a young audience.

If you buy the Nokia 3310 because of nostalgia, you'll probably choose one that's either dark blue or gray, both matte. If you're a hipster who wants a vintage phone but with a razzle-dazzle look, then you might prefer the glossy red or yellow models. Unfortunately, you must know that the covers are not interchangeable so you cannot switch colors whenever you grow tired of one. Only the back cover can be taken off.

In an age of large 6 inch smartphones, the Nokia 3310 is only 4.55 x 2 inches (115.6 x 51 mm) in length and width. It has a thickness of 0.5 inches (12.8 mm) and it weighs just 2.86 ounces (81 grams).

When you hold it into your hand and analyze carefully, the Nokia 3310 feels cheap. Its build quality is not going to impress anyone: the plastic from which the phone's body is made is probably the cheapest available on the market. The back cover feels like it's tearing apart when you take it off and mounting it back requires a lot more strength than you'd expect.

The design though is quite good, contrasting with the build quality: the screen is slightly curved, and the keypad beneath looks elegant. The colors used are pleasing, so visually, this phone is surprisingly beautiful.

Unfortunately, the buttons on the keypad are very small, and the navigational keys are almost unusable by any adult with average sized hands and fingers. Half the time I tried to press the top, bottom, right or left buttons, I ended up pressing the Enter/OK button instead.

The screen has a size of 2.4 inches and a QVGA display resolution, which is the short version for Quarter VGA and is equal to 320 × 240 pixels.

Except for the Micro USB port used for charging and data transfer found on the top edge and the 3.5mm audio jack found on the bottom edge, the Nokia 3310 doesn't have any other special ports or buttons on its sides.

On its rear, the Nokia 3310 has a 2 megapixels camera and a LED flash. Close by, there's also a speaker grille and the Nokia logo.

To store the photos and videos you shoot with its camera, the Nokia 3310 offers an internal storage space of 16 MB, out of which you can use a whopping 1.4 MB. 🙂 Fortunately, the phone also accepts a MicroSD card of up to 32 GB. The card can be inserted right under the SIM slot. Speaking of SIM cards, Nokia 3310 works only with a Micro SIM.

This phone is available in single and dual-SIM variants, but neither of them can use 3G or 4G networks. Nokia 3310 can only connect to 2G networks, which means that you might not be able to use it at all if your mobile operator only uses 3G/4G radio networks. There's no Wi-Fi connectivity on this phone, only Bluetooth.

The new Nokia 3310 is a simple phone from another era, made from cheap components and with a rather poor build quality. There's nothing special bundled with it, and there's no feature that makes it stand out. The only major positive is that it looks better than the original version from the year 2000.

Software and apps

If you're old (like us), you probably remember the old days when phone software was simple and using it was complicated. If you're young, you probably should buy a "dumb phone" like the Nokia 3310 just to experience how mobile phones were back then. You will appreciate your smartphone more if you do this.

The Nokia 3310 uses a proprietary operating system originally called Nokia Series 30+, which is the same as the one we saw being used on the Nokia 150 phone that we reviewed a while ago. It looks old, but it offers all the tools you'd expect from a "feature" phone.

Browsing through the user interface, you'll find that the Nokia 3310 has tools such as Call Log, Contacts, Alarm clock, Calendar, Messaging, Calculator, Notes, and Voice recorder. There's also a Camera app, an FM Radio app, a built-in web browser (Opera Mini), a Weather app, and even an app that should probably be a trademark of Nokia phones: the Snake game. 🙂

If you're wondering, our experience using all those apps was the opposite of what you'd call spectacular. The user experience is too dated to be enjoyable by modern standards. You will call it anything but "user friendly."

One thing nostalgics will surely enjoy is the Snake game, at least for a few rounds. After which, you'll probably notice just how tiresome it is to play it.

There's also a "store" - Opera Mobile Store - which includes some Java apps and games, but unfortunately, there's no space on the phone to install any unless you also add a Micro SD card. And even if you do, there's nothing truly useful inside the Opera Mobile Store. Don't expect to find WhatsApp or Facebook in there.

We would like to point out that the Nokia 3310 works well when you use it offline. If you want to use it online, open the web browser and navigate on the Web, you will be disappointed: the internet looks a lot different than you're used to, when you see it through a screen that's only 240 x 320 pixels.

The Nokia 3310 runs on a very simple operating system and has some basic built-in apps. Although they're not friendly to use, they do what you expect them to do and they do cover all the basic needs of an unpretentious phone user.

The phone experience on the Nokia 3310

The Nokia 3310 is also a rather mediocre phone when it comes to its main function which is being a phone. I used it for quite a few phone conversations with other people who were using different mobile networks and various phones and smartphones. 🙂 Pretty much always, the Nokia 3310 had a muffled sound in my ear and delivered an echoey sound to the people to whom I was speaking.

The only good thing that we can say about the Nokia 3310 is that its battery lasts so long that you're prone to forgetting when to charge it. We've had it for almost a week now, here at Digital Citizen, and when we got our hands on it, the first thing we did was charge it fully. It's been 5 days now, and it still looks like its battery is about 70% full. Considering that we also tested it in phone conversations during this period, it's an impressive autonomy.

Nokia 3310 is a phone that offers mediocre sound quality in phone conversations, but which manages to impress with its long lasting battery.

The camera experience on the Nokia 3310

The camera found on the Nokia 3310 is advertised as a "2 MP camera with LED flash for simple snaps", and that's exactly what it is. The image sensor is very modest, and the quality of the photos it takes is beyond anything you're probably used to. The photos have no details, the colors are close to reality only when taking pictures outdoors in very good light conditions, and good contrast and clarity are not things you'll get to see. The only good use for the photos and videos you shoot with the Nokia 3310 is for sending them in messages. There's no point in displaying them on a larger screen like that of your computer monitor or on your TV, and we see absolutely no point in trying to print them on paper. The end results will be unpleasant.

In the gallery below you can see just how bad the camera is at taking photos - we've included both indoor and outdoor photos, close-ups and landscapes.

Filming videos is just as bad as shooting photos. The Nokia 3310 can't do it decently, so there's not much point in trying unless you happen to be around a very important event like aliens landing on Earth. Otherwise, just don't! 🙂 Here's a sample of a video we shot outdoors, to get an idea of what to expect:

The Nokia 3310 is not a phone to buy if you want to shoot photos and film videos. It simply wasn't built for that sort of thing. Also, you must buy a Micro SD card if you want to use it for picture taking or video recording.

Pros and cons

There are some positives about the Nokia 3310:

• From a visual perspective, this phone looks good
• It offers long-lasting battery life
• Marketing-wise, resurrecting a legend like a Nokia 3310 is a good idea

However, there are plenty of downsides about this phone:

• The build quality contrasts the nice visuals. This phone is made of cheap materials that are far from being as durable as those used on the original.
• It can be used only on 2G networks. It is unusable if your mobile operator offers only 3G/4G networks
• Poor sound quality in phone calls
• The apps on this phone are not fast, not easy to use and not that useful
• The camera is unusable for modern standards
• This phone costs too much for what it offers

Verdict

The 2017 version of the Nokia 3310 is a feature phone that's a good choice for people who are nostalgic and remember the "good old days" of the early 2000s. It's a phone for those who want to get away from the "era of smartphones" and it is a backup phone that you can use when your smartphone's battery dies. While visually, it looks like a device that's made for young people, young people who use smartphones regularly will detest it. Maybe some young hipsters will enjoy using it but that's about it. Also, the "new" Nokia 3310 is too expensive and it fails exactly where its ancestor was legendary: at its build quality. The hype around Nokia 3310 is not deserved!
