In a world dominated by smartphones, feature phones still serve a purpose for those seeking simplicity and digital detox options. The Nokia 6310 is HMD Global's 2021 reinterpretation of the iconic 2001 model, marketed as a reliable device for basic communication needs. For those exploring basic phone options, this model stands out for its exceptional battery life and accessibility features.
It's the 2021 model that I've tested for this review, and the one you're most likely to find in stores and on third-party sites. However, note that there is also a 2024 model, with a larger 1,450 mAh battery (up from 1,150 mAh) and a USB-C port for simpler charging. (This one has a more old-fashioned Micro-USB slot).
Bear in mind, that both of these are 2G phones, in a world that's rapidly phasing out 2G in favour of 3G, 4G and 5G. If you're not bothered about using the web and just want to make calls and send texts, that won't be a problem. If you are, you should check first whether 2G is even available in your region, as all the major US carriers have already switched off or are in the process of shutting down their 2G networks.
