Wondering what the new Nokia 3310 brings to the table? Here are seven features of the Noki 3310 (2017) you just can't miss.

Nokia 3310 (2017)

1) Nokia 3310 design

We all are familiar with the hefty Nokia 3310 design which was also considered to be among the sturdiest handsets ever built. For the new Nokia 3310, the company has a slightly different take on the design. The company says that the Nokia 3310 (2017) is "reborn with a modern twist on design."

The new Nokia 3310 (2017), however, maintains the design cues including the rounded corners from its original sibling. HMD Global says that the curved screen window makes for better "readability in sunlight."

The new Nokia 3310 also sports new push buttons, and will feature a new UI with similarities with the original sibling.

2) Nokia 3310 camera

The new Nokia 3310 sports a 2-megapixel rear camera which can be considered as one of the biggest updates to the iconic handset. It is also accompanied by an LED flash. As with all feature phones, the quality of pictures will not be exceptional, though the presence of a camera adds a lot of value to the device.
