All you need to know about the new Nokia 6310

HMD Global recently announced a refreshed version of the popular Nokia 6310 feature phone, which launched 20 years ago. The original Nokia 6310 was a business-oriented device and the company’s first to come with Bluetooth connectivity.

It was renowned for its robust design and widely considered the best phone money could buy in 2001. The 2021 model features several upgrades, including a large full-colour display, camera, and built-in wireless radio.

However, the specifications suggest the device will be 2G-only, supporting only GPRS and EDGE mobile data technologies.

HMD Global’s focus appears to be on better accessibility, with the phone packing bigger buttons for easier interaction and zoomed-in menus for improved readability.

“The days of squinting at your phone are over – Nokia 6310 comes with new zoomed-in menus and larger font options, to provide even better readability,” the company states.

“Accessibility mode can automatically configure to a one-icon view, increase font size further and increase volume to maximum.”
Unlike some of Nokia’s other recent accessibility-oriented devices, the 2021 Nokia 6310 is purely a feature phone.

This much is clear from its specifications — with only 8MB RAM, 16MB storage, and a 0.3MP camera.

Importantly, however, this configuration means its 1,150mAh removable battery boasts a standby time of up to three weeks.
