Colours are muted, and anything in shadow is basically lost to the darkness. The LED flash doesn’t help fill in the gaps in low-light, either. Move indoors and it’s a similar story – only you don’t have to zoom in to spot the lack of detail. The 2MP snapper struggles to capture detail even when you’re outside in perfect light, so as soon as the sun starts setting you know you’re in trouble. Things don’t look all that bad at first glance, but zoom in and you’d swear the phone was secretly applying watercolour effects to your snaps – there’s nothing but blur and warping. Honestly, though?

I really hope you weren’t holding out for AMOLED or a 4K resolution.Īt 2.4in, it looks absolutely tiny next to a current-gen smartphone, and the WVGA, 240×320 resolution is blocky and pixelated. In case you hadn’t sensed a pattern here already, the 3310’s screen is as basic as it gets. NOKIA 3310 SCREEN & SOUND: DON’T GET YOUR HOPES UP
