Nokia 5310: At a glance
When it comes to design, the Nokia 5310 resembles the handsets from the early 2000s. It has a candy bar form wherein half the body is covered by a 2.4-inch (240x320 pixels) QVGA color display and the other half is taken by a physical keyboard. It gets dual front-facing speakers, a VGA camera with flash, and comes in White/Red and Black/Red colors.
No 3G/4G support
The Nokia 5310 does not offer support for 3G/4G network and therefore cannot be used for streaming or downloading content from the internet. However, it can be used for listening music thanks to the in-built MP3 Player and FM Radio.
Under the hood
The Nokia 5310 is powered by a MediaTek MT6260A chipset, coupled with 8MB of RAM and 16MB of storage (expandable up to 32GB via microSD card). Under the hood, the handset runs on Nokia Series 30+ software and packs a 1,200mAh removable battery that offers up to 30 days of standby time. For connectivity, it gets Bluetooth and a 3.5mm audio jack.
