Is the New Nokia 3310 Worth It? #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin this is the

legendary Nokia 3310 now in addition to

being a lot of people's very first cell

phone it also has a reputation for being

basically indestructible

fast forward to 2018 though and Nokia

has released this a brand new version of

the 3310 so I mean it wasn't even like I

had a choice of course I had to get one

take a look at the box and you're gonna

see something that looks very very

similar to the original 3310 of course

one of the best features of this phone

was the games or well the game sake in

fact was probably the best game on any

phone ever fighting kind of care that

fight me I think he was gonna fight me

over snake everyone agrees on that right

put the new and the old 3310 side by

side you see they have a lot of

similarities but of course the new one

has a much larger screen but one of the

important things is that because it's

going to be so thin and light it's

actually kind of makes sense as a

secondary phone so maybe you just want a

backup phone or maybe you just want

something to go off the grid for a

weekend or something and not to worry

about people you know Facebook messaging

you and emails and I don't know can this

thing do email actually you probably can

rain these are not cheap by the way I

think the Nokia 3310 this one cost me

around $60 so you could get like a

low-end smartphone for that however you

definitely don't get that kind of cool

retro Nokia vibes from it turn you on

the first thing we get is the charger so

thankfully this is now in 2018 and well

2016 because we're using a micro USB

cable but it's a lot better than the

stupid barrel plug on the original 3310

we also surprisingly get a headset

that's actually kind of impressive

there you go got a headphone jack right

there I don't know how you actually get

music on this if I actually don't know

that much about this at all so it does

say on the box it's got the Opera app

store so we actually might have some

flexibility and what we're doing with it

pop off the back and the first thing we

see is the battery spot as well as a

slot for not only a micro sim but also

micro SD card you know for when you want

to store all your sick 90s jams okay so

that was the simplest phone setup

process ever so at least we're getting a

full-color display unlock press start

unlock okay oh wow

so we actually have snake Facebook

camera we've got the mobile store even

have the Twitter I this actually might

not be that bad of course though the

only game that anyone really cares about

the snake oh wow that was really

generous oh I have like a super wide

head oh you don't even need to hit it on

the necessarily right on the mark

it has snake but it's not the real snake

I will say though this actually at first

glance doesn't seem like it's going to

be that far off I was expecting

something with no apps something there's

gonna be super basic just for text and

calls but we do have some apps we have a

Twitter app we have a couple games that

aren't snakes

so let's actually use this for a day so

it is time to use the Nokia 3310 and

there's actually a lot of weird stuff

with this phone no the responsiveness

actually isn't too bad so I have a list

of apps well apps the mostly just web

apps because there is offer mobile on

this guy oh wow we have 30 megabytes of

phone memory free but I guess we could

use that microSD card slot to but more

than three mp3s on it oh I've got a

flashlight

excellent revolutionary technology

there's so much weird stuff with this

here comes my favorite part

typing out my entire Twitter credentials

on the little t9 keyboard

oh-ho we are on glorious twitter.com for

mobile that looks exactly like 2012

actually I mean this kind of works it

looks a little broken it's definitely

slow but I mean it works alright let's

let's wait kai reply where do you oh I

think that's it wait this button is

replying oh wait I just retweet oh I

didn't okay

let's reply so you have to consider what

you're going to text or tweet from this

because it takes a little while to text

if you're lame and you've forgotten how

to use a t9 keyboard like I have I think

Ken's getting frustrated with how long

it takes for me to type on this thing

I'm officially written out 123 character

tweets and I have proof this was in fact

written on a Nokia 3310 alright so it is

time to use the Nokia 3310 for real

it's gonna be a little too challenge but

honestly after playing with it for just

a few minutes it's actually not that far

out of date I mean some stuff seems kind

of okay so of course what better way to

test than with some proper retro looking

headphones so you do have to use a micro

SD card to actual wrong phone I meant to

grab the one in this pocket which

actually does have a headphone jack it's

a little tinny but it's much better than

we expect out of a tiny little feature

felt like this mostly like it's actually

not that hard to use everything is

pretty responsive I mean obviously we're

not running Android or anything but can

actually multitask oh I can so I can

move around while still listening in

music I really want to try is the camera

that's I would call not a lot of dynamic

range

yeah wait how do I do a selfie okay five

four three two wow it actually worked

that doesn't look like the worst thing

I've ever seen oh okay okay so what have

we learned well first of all this is

definitely not a replacement for a

smartphone however if you want something

that's going to be small lightweight and

hopefully should survive a quick little

drop it should be fine right hey it's

fine I had no doubts any this is carpet

to be fair but the nice thing is because

it's so small and lightweight it's easy

to be able to carry this around as a

secondary device or if you're just

someone who doesn't really want to deal

with a smartphone and want something

that's just gonna be a little bit

simpler so you know call text listen to

some sick 2003 jams the Nokia 3310

actually not gonna be too bad so as

always I will find a link to this guy

and put in the description things like

60 bucks or so from curious would you

actually ever want to pick up a 3310 let

me know in the comments below and I will

catch you in the next one
