Nokia 3310 will boost a 41MP PureView camera with Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, and will run a modified version of Windows 8 to fit ‘ClearDiamond’ three-inch touch screen.
Three ‘soft-touch’ navigation keys still feature a Windows Phone ‘home’ button has been introduced to you straight back to the Start Screen.
Nokia 3310 will come with LiveTiles and App Folders. MS Office, Xbox Games, Outlook and OneDrive that offers 7GB free cloud storage out of the box will come pre-installed.
Phone will feature original monophonic ringtones.
