Available from May 18 in India at price of Rs 3310. Available in four colours: Red, Yellow, Dark Blue and Grey.
As these specs suggest, Nokia 3310 is not for everyone. But it is for people who already have a smartphone, or for people who will never buy a smartphone (more this later).
It is also a collector's edition phone. There will (most likely) never be a Nokia 3310 V2 edition. Next year Nokia will not launch a new updated Nokia 3310. This is one special occasion. The company is trying to tell consumers that despite the name HMD Global, it is actually the same old Nokia that once made the iconic Nokia 3310. And it is doing that by giving the old Nokia fans a redesigned, re-imagined Nokia 3310.
With Rs 3310, you are not just buying the Nokia 3310. You are buying so much more, the fact that it is also probably a fantastic feature phone is just a bonus. I have a feeling that lots of people would have bought this phone for even Rs 5,000 or Rs 10,000. But at the price of Rs 3310, it is probably just going to fly off the shelves.
Chances are that regular consumers still won't buy the Nokia 3310, but then the brand Nokia still have enough fans in India and they are going to make a beeline for Nokia 3310 on May 18.
