It’s manufactured from a block of aluminum with diamond cut edges. And Nokia wants to bring luxury to the masses.Ĭase in point, the Nokia 6 doesn’t look like your average budget phone. Middle-range phones have started borrowing lot of features that have been limited to flagships so far. First off, let’s start with the Nokia 6 which is the top of the line device. So how do the new Nokia phones feel? At MWC 2017 we had the chance to play with them a little bit and here’s our first impressions. Also Nokia relies on the fans nostalgia for a brand that used to dominate the emerging mobile market almost a decade ago. Nokia believes the attributes the three phones bring to the table namely quality, design and their unique approach to Android are enough to make a statement on the market. But the Android market is very competitive today, so will Nokia’s slew of Android devices be able to make it? Nokia says it has brought Android onboard in order to cater to the needs of consumers, who have been asking for this for a while now. If you're one of those people, you'll be able to pick up the new 5310 in either black or white for 39 euros (roughly $42) this month.In partnership with HMD, Nokia took the stage to announce three budget-minded smartphones with Android and a Nokia 3310 revival feature phone. HMD Global believes, however, that its range of nostalgic 'Originals' can appeal to people in developing markets and anyone who craves a digital detox on the weekend or a secondary device while they're travelling, working outside, or attending a music festival. Still, it's a fun throwback that could draw some additional eyeballs toward its more important Android lineup. The original Nokia 5310 doesn't hold the same cultural cachet as the 3310 or 8110. It's powered by a modest MT6260A MediaTek chipset, after all, along with 8MB of RAM and a removable 1200mAh battery which HMD claims will give the single SIM version up to 30 days of standby time. The software choice is probably due to the phone's low-end hardware. That's right - unlike the Nokia 8110 Reloaded, this nostalgic remake doesn't run KaiOS, the smarter feature phone platform based on FireFox OS. The new 5310 has a 2.4-inch, QVGA display and a physical T9 keyboard, alongside a five-way navigation nub and some other tiny buttons for answering/ending calls and executing commands in the Nokia Series 30+ operating system. It can also double as a traditional MP3 player, provided you don't mind supplementing the 16MB of internal storage with a microSD card (the new version supports up to 32GB cards, which equates to 8,000 tracks.) Like the original, the device has a 3.5mm jack and built-in FM radio. The left-hand rail has a volume rocker while the right-hand edge offers basic play/pause, skip forward and backwards keys. The reborn Nokia 5310 is another candybar design with a red accent that houses some physical playback buttons. So how does the new version stack up? Well, it certainly looks the part. It had three physical playback buttons, for instance, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a slot that supported up to 4GB microSD cards. The original device carried the XpressMusic brand and was, unsurprisingly, focused around audio playback. Following the iconic 3310, "bananaphone" 81 Flip, HMD Global is remaking the 5310, a candybar handset from 2007. At the same time, though, the Finnish manufacturer has found success building feature phones that mimic classic designs from the 1990s and early noughties. ![]() ![]() HMD Global, the sole company building Nokia-branded smartphones, has built a business around inexpensive Android handsets.
