Nokia had a 2.4-inch display with 240 x 320 pixels resolution and just 167 ppi of pixel density. It was launched with only 2.5 G connectivity. It was a dual-SIM smartphone with a microSD card slot that allowed memory expansion up to 32 GB, which was pretty badass for its time.
The new Nokia 3310 comes with 2-megapixel camera with a LED flash and is available for sale in the market today.
