New Nokia 3310 Magic: Here Are 6 Wacky Things You Can Do With Everyone's Favourite Nokia Phone!

Nokia brought back the 3310 feature phone with a dash of modern elements to make it survive today¡¯s tech world. However, no matter how good the phone feels, or how nostalgic it may seem, it is still feature phone, and in today¡¯s world of smartphones, it isn¡¯t as feature-packed as we¡¯d want it to be.

However, if you still feel like buying this feature phone, we have six non-smartphone uses for the Nokia 3310.

A Fitness Music Player That Just Works!

With the era of smartphones changing the mobile game, the screen sizes of today¡¯s devices have increased gradually too. And while having a large screen real estate might generally be a good thing, drop the phone and you¡¯re in for a heavy service charge for replacement.

Instead, use the 3310 while working out. Not only the device is tiny and easily pocketable, so you won¡¯t have a big smartphone juggling in your pocket, but the device is also sturdy enough to resist a good fall or two. Moreover, even if you do wreck the phone, it¡¯ll be a lot cheaper than getting your actual display fixed.

FM Radio Nirvana!

The smartphones have taken over our media players. However, we do sometimes miss the rather simpler FM radio. FM not only which made us indulge into some cool groovy tracks without looking in a playlist to browse tracks, but having your favourite music turn on the FM playlist added a different fun to the listening experience.

Moreover, Radio jockeys always crack open some interesting conversations to break the monotony. Alas, not many phones today come with an FM Radio pre-loaded, and internet radio isn¡¯t just as good as the regular FM. However, Nokia 3310 does come with an FM receiver built-in, filling in the void perfectly.

Fidget Spinner FTW!

Fidget spinners are the next big trend that today¡¯s kids and adults like playing with. There are a plethora of designs and models to choose from and in so many different materials. However, long before fidget spinners existed, us adults loved flipping and spinning our tiny phones to tackle anxiety and boredom.

Sadly, the smartphones today have grown so large, even using them with a single hand is a task. But Nokia 3310 is still as tiny as were the phones in the past. Since the device has gotten sleeker, spinning the 3310 got a lot easier and a whole lot fun too.

You Can Track Your Phone With The Nokia 3310

Auto thefts are on a rise and today¡¯s thieves also know how to disable even the best GPS security trackers in the market. However, did you know that our mobile phone networks can also be tracked and traced, making it easy for the cops to locate your vehicle? Obviously, having a smartphone as a tracer is not only going to be an expensive affair, but its poor battery performance isn¡¯t something that would help you trace the device for long. So simply use a feature phone like the 3310.

Not only it¡¯ll be really discreet, thanks to its tiny form factor, but it also has an insane standby time on a single charge. Put the phone on silent, and stick it on the top of your glove compartment, hiding it underneath the leg cavity on the passenger¡¯s seat, so it doesn¡¯t come directly into the eye of the thief. Keep charging it on regular intervals to have full juice all the time, if things do go south. And now you¡¯ve got a pretty cool and reliable car tracker without breaking the bank.

The Ideal Device When On A Long Hike Away From A Charging Port!

What¡¯s the last thing that you want on a good detox vacation? A pinging, blinking smartphone to ruin the peace and harmony of your getaway. You surely can choose to uninstall the apps, but that will also mean that you¡¯ll need to set everything up once again, which can be a lengthy and boring process. Moreover, the smartphones have abysmal battery life, so definitely not the most ideal for a long journey.

However, what if you¡¯d shifted to the Nokia 3310 for the vacation? The phone doesn¡¯t support any smart apps, but you can still access Facebook to do those quick check-ins and tags with friends and family. If you feel that you¡¯d miss clicking good selfies, the rear camera on the 3310 can shoot decent pics with a flash. And while the image quality won¡¯t be the best, you¡¯ll definitely get a dash of nostalgia clicking selfies the old school way. But the best reason to switch is the insane battery life on the device. A single charge can last really long, without wanting you to plug in every single day. That¡¯ll be one more reason to not stress about.

Smash It As A Stress Buster!

When you¡¯re in a conversation with someone and the argument is just getting out of hand, instead of smashing your iPhone on the floor while in conversation, smash the Nokia 3310. Yes, you read that right, and no we¡¯re not crazy. When we stated that the Nokia 3310 can take a beating, we weren¡¯t kidding.

This tiny monstrosity is built like a tank, and it can easily take a few aggressive smashes, resulting in minuscule scratches and cuts. Even if you do wreck the phone, the cost will be a lot cheaper than what you¡¯d lose on your iPhone or any other smartphone for that matter. Just make sure your flooring is strong enough to resist the smash.
