Nokia re-releases classic 6310 'brick' phone with Snake game on it to mark 20th anniversary

Minimalists rejoice; Nokia has rolled out a new version of its classic 6310 phone to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

The old-school phone seen in every other person’s hands in the 90s is back, featuring a few new specs and all of the old favourites - including the iconic game Snake.

Upgrades to the phone include a large curved colour display offering improved readability and accessibility - though without touchscreen capability, users will be tapping away on the keypad.

The familiar specs that made the model such a favourite still feature, including a wireless FM radio and the same tough shell that will keep the phone going through a few bumps and falls.

Like its predecessor, it has a massive battery life of up to 21 days and includes a single rear camera.

The phone comes in two colours; black and a lemony shade of yellow.

This handset comes in at just £59.99 on the Nokia website .

First launched in 2001, the 6310 was updated in 2002 as the 6310i and was finally discontinued in 2005.

Earlier this year it was announced that the phone was making a comeback following a remastering by Finnish tech giant HMD Global which licences the Nokia brand.

An HMD Global spokesperson said: “The Nokia 6310 is a classic reimagined for today’s connected user.

“Bringing advanced accessibility, optimised ergonomics, and battery for weeks, it honours everything that Nokia phones stand for. And yes - it still has Snake.

“With accessibility at its core, the refreshed larger push buttons and ample display make screen time more effortless and enjoyable.

“The new zoomed-in menus and larger font options improve readability and text messages can be listened to for ease of use.”
