Nokia is re-launching one of its classic mobile phones, the 6310 ‘Brick’, completing 20 years since it was first released in the UK. Surprised or excited? Relax, we’ve got more gist on the newest Nokia phone.

The maker of the Nokia phone; HMD Global, said the device will feature the classic 6310’s original and iconic silhouette.

The phone still has a durable frame that could survive the knocks and bumps of everyday life
The new version is built in the same way, with its trademark long battery life and surprisingly, it still has the Snake game.

The phone will come with a copy of the classic 90s mobile game Snake, and a strong form factor that earned it the nickname ‘The Brick’ when it first came out in 2001.

There will be ‘subtle changes’ to mark 20 years of technological development, including larger buttons for ease of reading and a zoomed-in menu.

It comes with a larger 2.8-inch 320×240-pixel screen, compared to the 1.8-inch 120×160-pixel screen found on the original screen, which is available for sale for £59.99.

The Nokia 6310 was first released in 2001 and has been re-released in 2021 to mark its 20th anniversary.

The new variant comes with a bigger screen, bigger buttons, but the same long battery life and a sturdier body. Nokia says a new version of its iconic device, the teen darling when it was first released for its reliability, long battery life, and sturdy looks, will also include a wireless FM radio.

Talking about the anniversary release, a Nokia spokesperson said, “The nostalgia of the new Nokia 6310 makes the new Nokia 6310 the perfect tonic.”

The new handset has been ‘refreshed and revamped to meet the modern needs. It includes a larger screen and buttons, making it easier to read messages and connect with loved ones, Nokia says.

“With the Nokia 6310, it’s a whole lot of fun and games,” the firm said.

One thing that Nokia hasn’t changed is the battery, with the new device lasting for weeks between charges, just like the original. It can take up to 21 days between charges when left on standby!

According to Nokia’s website, the phone charges using a micro-USB cable and can last up to 19 hours on the battery when actively used in calls.

The Nokia 6310 was first launched in 2001, updated to the 6310i in 2002, and finally discontinued in 2005 with the release of the Nokia 6230 and others.

The original came with a 1.8-inch screen, while the new version would include a larger 2.8-inch screen. Nokia says a new version of its iconic device, the teen darling when it was first released for its reliability, long battery life, and sturdy looks, will also include a wireless FM radio

When the original version was released back in 2001, it could send email, text, and picture messages had basic Internet access and simple Java-based applications, including Snake.

It was about 3.9 ounces and could store 174 KB of data, with a battery that lasted up to 408 hours on standby, or seven hours of continuous talk time.

The new version is made from a tough polycarbonate shell that can ‘knock-in everyday life’.
