Alongside a host of new smartphones, including its first-ever 5G phone, HMD Global has also taken the wraps off the Nokia 5310 feature phone. Yeah, that name sounds familiar because it is. This is a refresh of the super popular Nokia XpressMusic phone from 2008. Nokia is again banking on nostalgia to connect people and deliver new set of features to first-time users.
The new Nokia 5310 sports almost the same design as the original XpressMusic phone with the volume rocker and music controls buttons. HMD Global sure has made a host of improvements across the board, in line with recent leaks.
The internals here include a MT6260A processor, paired with 8MB of RAM and 16MB of internal storage. Yes, 8MB RAM. Measly in comparison to 16GB on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, right? It supports storage expanstion up to 32GB via microSD card, so you can store all your favorite MP3 trackson the phone. You can choose to play the in-built FM radio as well.
Nokia 5310 has been priced at 39 euros (around Rs. 3,099) and will go on sale in March itself. It comes in two color variants – Black/Red and White/Red.
