Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

Nokia's 3310 isn't a smartphone - more a 2017 re-do if anything. With a rear camera and a display you can actually read in sunlight, along with that joyous asking price, Nokia's 3310 is a wonderfully affordable nostalgia trip that's well worth the ticket.

The Nokia 3310 does the basics well enough. But there is an elephant in the room, and that's the price.

If you need a secondary backup phone or want something that'll always make you feel nostalgic, go for the 'new' Nokia 3310. It also makes a good buy for someone who isn't comfortable using a smartphone.

Digital Spy | Shyvonne Thomas

The new Nokia 3310 isn't a phone to win your head, but it can certainly do strange things to your heart. It's the price of a decent powerbank and is a strong option to offer similar support services when your big and expensive phone inevitably decides to desert you.

Can I buy it? For my dad, sure, but not for me, or any other young person I know. Only if you can be fully productive with a feature phone should you consider getting this puppy, which, quite truthfully, is not the case for a lot of people.

Now the main thing the phone is selling is nostalgia. Even for a feature phone, it does not offer what you can expect at that price range. If nostalgia is what you want, you are better off getting the real thing.

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

Should you buy the Nokia 3310, for a bit of retro fun and nostalgic joy? Well, that depends if you've got £50 sat in your pocket and nothing better to do with it. Still, that cute factor alone wins it a three-star score, because anyone who buys it will do so simply to own a slice of history.

PC Mag | Thomas Newton

The new Nokia 3310 is a fun, if basic, mobile best suited as a back up for festivals, trips and holidays where your more expensive primary phone might easily get lost, damaged or stolen.

Forbes | Ewan Spence

It's not suitable for every occasion (no phone is) but when the time is right, it's waiting for your call. For those who want 'just a phone' there's a good argument for a phone like the Nokia 3310.

Gizmodo UK | Tom Pritchard

The new 3310 is an average and uninteresting phone with a name that invokes nostalgia. That's it. If you need a low-tech phone for one reason or another, nobody's going to stop you. Just bear in mind that you're not obligated to buy this. Go ahead and get something cheaper, because chances are you won't notice the difference.

NDTV Gadgets | Sanket Vijayasarathy

The new Nokia 3310 essentially has three things to offer - its looks, battery life, and Snake. But this isn't the most affordable device you can get with those features. In fact, a lot of entry-level smartphones can now be found in this price range, and in a world where WhatsApp is seen as a necessity, it simply doesn't have what a lot of buyers need.

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

We enjoyed unplugging for a few days and only being able to call and text a select few people, but it's not a perfect phone.

Wired UK | Jeremy White

That said, if we are to mark this against other dumb phones, this is priced very high and doesn't even have top specs in category. One can even bag a full Android smartphone for this amount of cash.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

It's a basic phone with basic features in a novelty, nostalgic shell. If you really want a dumbphone for the odd occasion, and don't mind paying over the odds for one, buy it. But if you're looking for an emergency phone, or something disposable, Nokia makes loads of much cheaper versions of the same idea. They're just not branded 3310.

Having spent seven days with the Nokia 3310, I can safely say I will never regress back to an outdated technology ever again. The new Nokia 3310 3G with the old year 2000 3310 and the Nokia 1100 would all be better left in the past.

International Business Times | Alistair Charlton

As an updated pastiche of the original there is plenty to like about the new 3310. But don't be fooled; this may be a phone named to tugged at your heartstrings, but ultimately it was designed to be cheap, simple and to survive a festival.

phoneArena | Damian M.

There is nothing of its 17-year-old predecessor left in this device. The sales are completely due to marketing and nostalgia, in our opinion. If you want a solid feature phone, HMD Global has produced far better options in the same price range.

Avoid the hype – this is nostalgia exploited in the worst way possible.

It may seem harsh to be comparing the Nokia 3310 – a deliberate throwback to 17 years ago – to the phones of 2017, but there's good reason to do so. And it's simply because most people will find this phone a chore to use once they've completed a few rounds of Snake.

TechRadar | James Peckham

The Nokia 3310 is a nostalgia-fueled re-release that can't do anything as well as a smartphone can, but for a low price this may suit you as a second device to take to festivals or keep in your bag for emergencies.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

This ain't no smartphone - the battery life champ is as dumb as it gets. Rose-tinted nostalgia can't disguise the 3310 for what it really is - a basic burner phone that's good for nothing but battery life.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
