I noticed that the design of the new Nokia 3310 (2017) is totally different from the old Nokia 3310. The front view of the phone is just wow!. I really love the fact that Nokia still want to maintain some design of the old Nokia 3310 in the new phone, especially the keypad. The keypad of the new Nokia 3310 is wide enough that you can easily type whatever message you want. The screen of the phone is another interesting that got my attention. The old Nokia 3310 come with black and white display but this new device comes with a colour display.
Unlike the old device, you will see a USB port  for charging which is position at the top of the phone. Underneath, you will also see the 3.5mm audio jack that allow you to plug your earpiece or headphone and enjoy the FM Radio present in the phone. You can also play music from your memory card too.
Moving to the back, you will also see the 2MP camera with the LED flash. The speaker is also position at the back of the phone.

16MB OR 16GB INTERNAL MEMORY? PLEASE CROSS CHECK UR FACT. 18K+ IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A FEATURE PHONE. I WLD RATHER GO FOR HUAWEI Y11 FOR 18K ON JUMIA.
