    • Design & Color
      • It is one of the major changes from the original 3310. The company claims that the new design language is a modern classic re-imagination of the phone that was first made available in the year 2000.  The 2017 version of the Nokia 3310 is much lighter and slimmer with new push buttons, but the phone continues to have the rounded corners similar to that of the original model. The new Nokia 3310 will also be available in different colors options – Red, Yellow, Blue and Grey.
    • New Display
      • The original Nokia 3310 had a monochrome graphic screen with a resolution capable of displaying 5 lines. And, 17 years later, the reimagined form comes with a 2.4-inch color curved window display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels accounting to a pixel density of 167ppi. The display also has a polarized layer for better readability in sunlight.
    • Camera improved 
      • Back when the original Nokia 3310 model was announced, camera on a phone was still an engineering challenge. Fast forward 17 years, the new model comes with a 2 megapixel rear camera on the back along with an LED flash.  The featurephone will help you capture some simple images, and of course the quality will be great, but this phone is all about going back in time.
    • Memory increased 
      • Nokia 3310 was able to store 8 dialed numbers, 8 received numbers and 8 missed calls along with some short messages in its memory.

    • Earphone jack
      • A new addition to the 2017 Nokia 3310 model. The phone comes with a 3.5mm audio jack and guess what, it also supports FM radio and MP3 player. So, a new use case for the Nokia 3310 – a basic music player. Yes, you can do that without any issues especially after considering its amazing battery life
    • MicroUSB port
      • The pin charger from the original Nokia 3310 is gone! It’s been replaced by a microUSB charging port in the 2017 model.
