HMD launches Nokia 6310, Nokia 5310 and Nokia 230 featurephones

HMD adopted a new multi-brand approach for its smartphones, but is sticking with the Nokia name for its featurephones. The Finnish maker just launched three new handsets, all a modern twist of classics – Nokia 6310 (2024), 5310 (2024), and 230 (2024).

This phone brings a few new features for a 2024 version. It is similar to the 6310 from 2021 but HMD gave it a bigger 1,450 mAh battery and a USB-C port.

The rest of the specs remain the same — a VGA camera with a flash at the back, a 2.8” LCD at the front, a dual-SIM slot with stand-by capabilities for both cards and an extra slot for microSD cards.

Here, HMD decided to keep the overall design from the 5310 (2020), but this handset actually grew in size — it is taller and wider, making room for the bigger 1,450 mAh battery. The chipset is now the Unisoc 6531F, moving away from a Mediatek platform. The bigger footprint also brings a bigger 2.8” LCD.

The 5310 name is all about music, and we all remember the 2007 XpressMusic classic. Here, the play buttons are on the phone's right side, while the volume keys are on the left. HMD also put a USB-C port on the bottom, but inside, everything remained the same — 8/16 MB memory (a microSD card slot is present), dual speakers, and FM radio.

This Nokia 230 received the same treatment as its other two siblings — a similar design but a new battery. The footprint is exactly the same as the phone released in 2015, and the 2.8” TFT with 65K colors is retained too. It also has the same 2 MP camera with an LED flash combo on the front and back panels.

The major difference is the 1,450 mAh battery and the USB-C port. Bluetooth 5.0 is enabled by the Unisoc 6531F chipset, while other features such as a 3.5 mm audio jack and 8/16 MB are unchanged.

HMD did not reveal any pricing for these phones. We should point out that all three phones are limited to 2G, meaning they won't work on any 3G or newer networks.
