8 things you need to know about the new Nokia 3310

1. Your SIM card will not work

The slots of modern smartphones, as a rule, support nano-SIM. The Nokia 3310 slot is designed for micro-SIM cards, so this can be tricky. Recently, operators have been offering multi-format cards in a mini-SIM shell, from which you can squeeze a card of the desired size. If the shell is preserved, you can insert the nano-SIM into it. If not, you will have to buy an adapter or change the SIM card from your operator.

2. Opening the cover on the back can break the nail

To start using Nokia 3310, you need to install a battery and a SIM-card, as in the good old days. To do this, you have to open the cover on the back. It turned out to be difficult to do this. The plate is pressed so tightly that some reviewers even broke a nail, separating it. Be careful.

3. Nokia 3310 does not have WhatsApp and Viber

The device runs on the S30 + operating system, which does not support instant messengers, although it allows you to connect to the Internet. Therefore, the habit of chatting will have to be abandoned in favor of SMS. If you are sick of chats for a long time, but you cannot part with them, then Nokia 3310 will help you cope with addiction.

4. You can still go to Facebook

Through the Opera browser preinstalled on the device, you can access mobile versions of sites. This can be Facebook, VKontakte, or any other site that has an adapted version. However, it is unlikely that you will be comfortable working with them on a small screen and over the painfully slow 2G Internet.

5. Using the buttons is inconvenient

If you have owned a touchscreen smartphone for several years now, it will be difficult to interact with the new Nokia 3310 at first. Surely you will more than once catch yourself tapping your finger on the screen in an attempt to open the desired program or follow a link. In a few days you will get comfortable and the problem will disappear.

6. "Snake" has changed

If you are going to buy a Nokia 3310 hoping to play the same "Snake", then you will be disappointed: the "Snake" is not the same. The famous game was reworked: the design was changed, bonuses, booby-traps and a board of honor were added. However, she did not get any worse.

7. Nokia 3310 has a long battery life

4G, Wi-Fi, touch screen - all this energy-consuming baggage is not in the Nokia 3310, so a 1200 mAh battery is enough for about a week of normal use. Official figures: 607 hours of standby time, 22 hours of active use.

8. You need a memory card

Unlike its predecessor, Nokia 3310 can play music from storage and take pictures with a 2 megapixel camera. But 16 MB of internal phone memory is enough for no more than 12 pictures (excluding music). Therefore, if you want to use the device as a player, you will have to buy a microSD card.
