Classic Nokia 5310 Set to Return to India; Launch Imminent
The classic Nokia 5310-a name that sparked nostalgia among millions-is ready for a formal comeback in the Indian market. Fresh reports indicate that HMD Global, the custodian of the modern Nokia brand, plans to reintroduce the beloved feature phone, speaking directly to consumers who value simple, sturdy devices.
Key Features of the Nokia 5310 Re-Edition
Leaks and early reports show that Nokias new take on the classic 5310 keeps the old charm while adding subtle modern touches. So far, the rumoured specs include:
- 2.4-inch QVGA screen
- Dual front-facing speakers
- MP3 player and wireless FM radio
- 1,200mAh removable battery
- Extended standby time
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- MicroSD support up to 32GB
- VGA rear camera with LED flash
- Physical keypad for easier typing
The handset will likely run the Series 30+ OS, a no-frills platform that handles calls, texts, radio, and music without fuss.
Attention to Sound and Endurance
The original 5310 earned a reputation as a pocket jukebox, and the re-edition aims to pick up the same nickname. Side-mounted music controls and loud dual speakers should please casual listeners while the detachable battery promises days of idle standby. That endurance makes the phone appealing as a dependable second device for calling and texting, not to mention jingles.
As some smartphone users tire of constant updates and oversized screens, a quiet interest in basic mobile devices has resurfaced. Keypad phones remain popular among older people and workers who need rugged handsets, and Nokia appears ready to meet that demand once more.

Price Range
Though Nokia has yet to publish formal pricing, industry insiders suggest the updated 5310 could retail for under 3,500 rupees in India. If accurate, that figure would position it among the cheapest music-friendly feature phones now available.
Closing Thoughts
The comeback of the Nokia 5310 links nostalgia with everyday usefulness. While flagship smartphones race ahead, many users still prize long battery life, basic functions, and a tactile keypad. These consumers are likely to welcome the new 5310, which promises to be rugged, simple, and dependable.
