Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Specifications
Now since we know what the new version carries, its a rewind time to 2007. The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic was the phone with most swag in 2007 due to the music features the phone carried. The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic came with 2.1 inches display with 240 x 320 pixels resolution. The display had a 29.4% screen-to-body ratio. It came with Java which had amazing features such as Nokia sensor, Nokia mobile search, World Clock II, Converter II
, Predictive text input, Stopwatch, and Voice memo/commands. There was 30MB storage which was more than enough at that time.
And when we were bored, the games like Snake II, Music Guess, and Towerbloxx kept us entertained. An 860 mAh battery ensured up to 300 h of stand by time. The design of the phone was incredibly cool. It came with color options like Red, Blue, Pink, and Black. I personally loved the black color with red dedicated music keys attached closely to the display.
HMD Global Is Ruining Our Memories!
My statement might be harsh but that’s what the truth is. The new model features some degraded specifications and it would have been better if they kept the classic keypad instead of a new one.
Anyways, the Nokia 5310 (2020) is heading together with Nokia 5.3 Android smartphone in India. The 5310 2020 was launched globally for 40 Euro, let’s see at what price they launch the feature phone in India.

I had this phone. Was awesome and very very very thin. But… the coloured metal frame had tendency to peel off and eventually detach from the phone. Sad thing. Quality wasn’t there.
