Nokia 3310 finally launched in India at a price of Rs 3,310!

The iconic phone is here. The Nokia 3310 has officially launched in India and will be available for purchase at a price of Rs 3,310 starting May 18 via offline channels. It will be available in warm red, yellow, dark blue and grey color variants.

Ajey Mehta, VP India, HMD, Global said, "Talk all day on a single charge, send texts, take pictures and enjoy a pocket jukebox with a built-in FM Radio and MP3 player. Our reinvention of this classic design is sure to make you smile. It's got everything you remember, but with a modern twist. So whether you're after a feature phone that offers amazing battery life in a head turning design or a companion phone, the Nokia 3310 won't let you down."

The new Nokia 3310 is slimmer than the original and if it is anything like its predecessor; it should be tough as nails. The device is unmistakably a feature phone, sporting a 2.4-inch QVGA display, Nokia's Series 30+ OS. We aren’t sure if the device will support popular apps like WhatsApp and can't even be sure at this point if it will include the ability to load extra apps besides the ones preloaded. Unlike the first version, this one now has a color display and includes 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded to 32GB via a microSD card -- just what's required to store a set of songs and the basic photos its 2MP rear camera (with LED flash) camera captures.

It is powered by a 1200mAh battery that is rated to deliver a maximum talk time of up to 22.1 hours, listening to MP3 songs it is rated to go for 51 hours, and its standby time extends to 31 days. That's right; the battery can last for up to a month on a single charge.
