It’s a phone That’s it. A phone Just like the one It is named after. The one that came before In 2000. The one that broke pavements By falling on them. This one won’t. It is built solidly, yes, But not for pavement demolition. It will turn heads instead With its colors And because it is so Incredibly small. So small That it makes the iPhone SE look big.
The geeks will say What of the tech specs? What tech specs? This is not a smartphone. No HD display, HD? No multi core processor, No 3G, no 4G, no Wi-Fi, No gigs of storage or RAM, No front camera, No high megapixel rear camera (just two megapixels) No “proper” apps, No WhatsApp even. What does it have then? Well, Nothing except A great keyboard (Remember those?) Great sound on calls A battery that goes on And on and on (Two charges = a week) And a game called Snake In color.
Should you buy it? For Rs 3310 (lesser now)? Or should you spend A little more And get something better? A Moto C, a Redmi 4A, a Yunique 2? Just ask yourself: What do you need? A computer? Or a phone? Text or e-mail? Calls or chats? Mobile network connectivity Or social network connectivity? Do you want to leave Your portable charger at home?
Do you need a cycle In an era of cars? It is not fast But it is healthy. A glass of water In the era of carbonated and health drinks? It is not tasty, But it is healthy. A human being In an age of robots? It is not super efficient, But is self-sufficient.
Do not buy it For your “old mother or father” Do not buy it For your “driver or maid” Do not buy it As a “back up phone.” But it because All you do with a phone Is talk And text And want to do so Clearly Without worrying About reception On either of the two SIMs About battery
The Nokia 3310 In 2017. In the smartphone era Remind us That even smarts Need a phone…
