Nokia 3310 is a revamped version of its predecessor, which was one of the most successful phones from the original Nokia Mobile. It sports 2.4-inch QVGA display. The 1200 mAh battery in Nokia 3310 is the USP of the phone, which is claimed to offer a standby time of up to a month with maximum talktime of up to 22.1 hours.

Nokia 3301 packs 16MB internal storage and supports expandable storage as well (up to 32GB). It runs the Nokia Series 30+ OS. Other features of Nokia 3310 include a 3.5 mm headphone jack, FM support and an in-built MP3 player. Nokia 3310 features a 2MP rear camera with LED flash. It supports the new Snake game as well. However, the phone does not support apps.

Nokia 3310 is expected to hit the shelves in India this month, and price will be the main concern. A price tag of Rs 3,500 or above will make Nokia 3310 an expensive option if you compare it to phones like Micromax Bharat 2.
