What We Think

2G feature phones are still popular worldwide, including India. HMD Global notes that over 130 million users are buying 2G handsets in India alone. In this scenario, the Nokia 5310 offers a redesigned feature phone with enhanced music features and a long-lasting battery, catering to a large part of the Indian audience. At the same time, the Nokia 5310 could be a good choice if smartphone users are looking for a second phone, especially for its battery life.
