The New Classics

It’s getting a lot harder now to make an impression in the smartphone scene. So, companies now increasingly rely on unique features or “groundbreaking” technology. But even as most brands busy themselves with clearer displays, sharper cameras or better user experience, some are actually returning back to basics. Such is the case with the mother of all cellphones: the venerable Nokia 3310, which this year has undergone an amazing revamp. With a swappable and customizable plastic case that is colorful, fun and retro, the new Nokia 3310 comes with a rounder edge, thinner design, smoother surface and most importantly, “Snakes.” It has a 2.4 inch polarized and curved screen that allows for better readability under sunlight. The Nokia 3310 also boasts a standby battery life of up to a month. So, try and beat that.
