(ThyBlackMan.com) The legend is back in form of the new Nokia 3310 and you’ll love it unless your obsession with smartphone is beyond control. Honestly, the phone has nothing special for you if you can’t live without WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, and are allergic to 2G network. But if you are the one who enjoyed Snake on feature phones, especially on the old 3310, or you are the one who simply wants to relive the past, this phone has everything you want and you won’t regret spending US$49 on it.
If someone tells you that they have buried their smartphones just after the arrival of the new Nokia 3310, they are probably telling the truth. The reboot of a 17 year-old feature phone will pull you to buy it. The legendary phone, which was known for its durability and was even compared to indestructible materials is now back.
Let’s see why you’ll love this dumbphone even when it will restrict you from accessing your favourite apps and emails.
You Won’t Be Wasting Time on Photographs
The original phone didn’t have a camera, but the new one features a 2MP camera, that too with LED flash. But when you’ll look at the quality of the pictures taken by the phone, you would want to forget photography. So obviously, you are not going to take pictures from 3310. And even if you do so, you’ll regret later.
Don’t think about challenging any other feature phone user for a photography contest with your Nokia 3310, you’ll surely lose. Even if you say that pictures are looking good on the phone’s 240 x 320 screen, just upload them on a computer and you’ll be convinced to take your statement back. Thankfully, there’s no front camera.
Charge Battery After Days, Not Hours
In 2017, who claims to give you 22 hours of talk time and a mobile phone battery that lasts for a month? Only Nokia can do this of course, and that too with the legendary 3310 phone. The best thing is that you can’t argue about the battery life related claims by Nokia because we all know how strongly it delivers on the promises. So even after heavy usage, you will be charging your phone after days, not hours. The stamina comes from the phone’s lack of abilities. Sounds strange, but this is the only reason behind its long lasting battery. There’s nothing much to do that consumes battery. Of course, you’ll rarely listen to FM radio and music on this phone.
No Distraction of Notifications
We all experience that moment when we really don’t want to speak to a person, but we have to because we are using the same chat app they are using on their phone. There are times when we don’t want our phone to make even a single beep. But how many of us keep our phones at flight mode? Many of us have never used that feature because we need to be fed by updates, both necessary and unnecessary. But when you only have Nokia 3310, no one in the world can dare sending you WhatsApp messages. Because the phone doesn’t support it. So unless you become a Snake addict, this phone is going to keep you away from all the distractions. Thankfully, the number of people using SMS these days is very less.
What’s better than Playing Snake
Internet memes, funny videos and forwarded texts turn out to be annoying sometimes, but when you have a revamped version of the classic game Snake, you are not going to care about what’s going on Instagram or who cares about liking or commenting on your Facebook posts.
Play the legendary Snake and forget everything because your new mission is to break your own high score record. Nokia has updated the game a little and on the color screen, it looks more engaging.
And there’s So Much More
Overall, if you really want to keep a phone for calling and sending SMS, for what it was invented, you will probably not hate the new Nokia 3310. It can really help you focus on doing more productive work. It can help you spend time on your hobbies. It can help you connect with people in the real world. And it can even help you take food in a better way and spend more time in the real world.
