Nokia 5310 (2024)

The Nokia 5310 (2024) suits anyone looking for a lightweight phone for calls and simple tasks, but its 1,450 mAh battery and very limited memory are significant compromises. It weighs 105 g and measures 132 mm tall by 57 mm wide. At 13.1 mm thick, it is thicker than most phones launched around the same time.

Its 2.8″ IPS LCD has a 4:3 aspect ratio and 143 ppi pixel density, among the weakest for phones of its time. The screen-to-body ratio is 32.3%, also among the lowest. There is 8 MB of RAM and 16 MB of storage, with expandable storage supported. The camera resolution is 0.3 MP, among the weakest of phones launched around the same time.

Cellular connectivity is GSM 2G, with GSM 900 and GSM 1800 bands. Other connections include Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio. It supports either one Nano-SIM or two Nano-SIM cards and has stereo speakers. The Li-Ion battery is removable.

Its weight is a clear strength: at 105 g, it is among the lightest phones of its time. By contrast, its battery capacity and display pixel density are among the weakest. The Nokia 5310 (2024) is a possible fit for buyers prioritizing a basic, lightweight phone; its memory, camera resolution and 2G connectivity limit its appeal for broader use.
