HMD launches affordable Nokia G310 5G and Nokia C210 in the US

16 August 2023
The phones come with a basic design, and entry-level features; will be available only at T-Mobile.

Sort by:

G310 is actually a pretty good deal in the US, with a decent chipset, 128GB internal storage, and a big battery with 20W charging for $186. This undercuts Samsung at least.

C210 kinda sucks though. SD662 will probably be inadequate soon, and 32GB internal storage (probably eMMC) is paltry. $109 for this makes it somewhat justifiable, but I'd strongly recommend going for at least 64GB of UFS storage so that the phone doesn't run out of storage or lag all the time just running the OS.

    Here in Slovakia most people above 60 uses button like phones jsut like the good old Nokia.
    Same goes for small kids as their first phone.
    or they get something very cheap around 100-150 or their previous phone from their parrents .

      justasmile, 16 Aug 2023Not really. You can't trust Nokia when it comes to ... moreUm friend. When comes to trusting brand there is noone you can really trust maybe apart Vertu because its handmade.
      If you have a bad luck even a brand new flagship grade device with price tag of 1500 will breaks.
      Tons of example happened in past from many various brands.
      Some of them agreed and fixed them and some others just ignored as long as they could.
      At least said Nkia for 100 will not ruin our wallet unless you are homeless or unemployed and have not much money to spare.
      Samsung, Apple, Sony, Xiaomi, Motorola, Nokia etc. quality it does not matter all them are china made or with china or Taiwanesse made components.
      Just like the scene from Armaggeddon movie with that Russian Cosmonaut when their ship engines shut down.
      This is the reality it only proves noone is different from others.
      Apart the fact brand availability arojund the globe makes said brand to sell more so more people will trust that brand. But selling more does nto means is better.
      Case bought from Alliexpress for 2 euros or case bought in my country for 20 euros makes also zero difference because you dont know maybe that 20 eur case was also bought from china and sold for 10 times price increase. This is just an example.

        Can someone please send hmd current year calendar

                Anton., 16 Aug 2023And all that for 600 dollars? They will not sell you that h... moreNokia was never 600 euro on there flagships specs. There flagships were always in the market flagship normal high price just like Samsung, apple and Sony phones flagship prices with flagship specs phones.

                There middle class phones were at the 600 euro range and i talk about the Chinese middle class specs phones. For a phone and specs like Poco F5 the HMD/Nokia price would be like 700 euro minimum

                  Cpt.Power, 16 Aug 2023Well honestly its not that bad. Cheapest Samsung is like ... moreOn how old are the elderly in your mind ? I would think for parents who are like 70 years old there phones are bought by there kids or they get there kids old phones as kids want new phone

                    justasmile, 16 Aug 2023Not really. You can't trust Nokia when it comes to ... moreMy friend maybe yes and maybe no but everything comes with warranty and as long as your warranty stands it does not matter becuase you cal always fix, repair or replace your device.

                      Nokia should use atheist Snapdragon 4 Gen1 not Snapdragon 400 series.

                        C210 for 110 euro that has 3GB ram and 32GB storage. Thats insane expensive for these specs.
                        G310 5G for 190 euro is nothing affordable in that when it's 720p screen and everything low end.

                        Well for US market also is weird but then again US like only have apple, samsung, sony and this HMD/Nokia and thats probably it so they dont get the best phones for the price so must over pay for the e-waste trash of the year

                          BudgetPhoneFinder, 16 Aug 2023I feel like Nokia is just spamming. They use 1 chipset, and... moreAnd all that for 600 dollars? They will not sell you that hardware for less than 2,000 dollars

                            I feel like Nokia is just spamming. They use 1 chipset, and they go for that chipset, It happens for the Snapdragon 480+, Snapdragon 695, Snapdragon 662 and so on. Also they spam the design. The G310 has the same design as the G42 just different colors. Nokia, make an proper device, return to the Flagship market. Do the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 4 cameras 200 megapixel, 4K 60 fps/8K video, 5000 mah battery, tiny bezels, 5 years software updates, IP69, MIL-STD rating, 12 gb RAM 512 gb storage, LidAR scanner

                              Cpt.Power, 16 Aug 2023Well honestly its not that bad. Cheapest Samsung is like ... moreNot really.

                              You can't trust Nokia when it comes to making phones. Sometimes, they make it so bad and even the price is messed up. Take a look at Nokia G42. Its specs are below average for the price and you can get Samsung A24 for way cheaper.

                                The real people of NOKIA should disenfranchise HMD, because they are being embarrassed! In general, how much money will the real Nokia make? for that hmd must sell devices

                                what is not happening.

                                  DarlingYext, 16 Aug 2023Nice, so the G310 5G is just a rebranded G42.. what's ... moreIt is a locked carrier device and secondly no guaranteed software updates

                                    Well honestly its not that bad.
                                    Cheapest Samsung is like 200 which is twice as much from a 100 dollar phone.
                                    And many people who could not afford 200 dollar phone will buy this nokia with ease.
                                    Some people who needs a phone for dialing and text and internet for brownsing will buy.
                                    A decent phone for a decent price.
                                    Because Samsung, Apple, Google etc are phone of the limits for those who can afford.
                                    Those who can will gladly pick Noki aover something whic is way more costly.

                                      Overall quality and finishing was far better there. Even the prices were around entry level. That good quality vanished after HMD became popular and today there phones are beyond pathetic and have ancient specs

                                        When HMD first started selling Nokia, their phones were far better than the garbage that sell today

                                        I bought 3 Nokia phones years ago. The quality is far more premium there
