Hereâs the bad news: It doesnât have WhatsApp or Facebook or Snapchat or access to any of the services weâve come to demand from our smartphones.
What it does have though is 22-hours of talk-time and a full month of stand-by battery life.
It also has a brand-new colour version of the iconic mobile game Snake.

The original Nokia 3310 was released to the public in 2000 and went on to sell over 100 million units worldwide.
Critically acclaimed for being almost entirely indestructible the original then led to a further seven versions of the iconic phone.

The company unveiled its new version of the phone to a packed crowd of journalists at Mobile World Congress 2017.
Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer of HMD Global, said: For the Nokia 3310 we just couldnât resist. We wanted to reward loyal Nokia phone fans and make a statement that rich heritage, innovation and modern design can go hand-in-hand.
Thereâs no firm release date but Nokia says that they expect the 3310 to go on sale later this year for around âŹ49.

Google Pixel
The Huffington Post UK
This is Googleâs iPhone. Itâs that simple. As such there are achievements and compromises. If youâre after an incredibly well-built, powerful Android flagship, Google have given you a truly five-star smartphone. If youâre a photographer, the Pixelâs camera and cloud storage option make this a no brainer. It's not cheap though, with the XL costing over ÂŁ800.
OnePlus 3T
The Huffington Post UK
The OnePlus 3T is simply a continuation of the ethos that makes OnePlus phones so good. Itâs exceptionally well-built, powerful and offers you everything you could want in an affordable and meaningful package. No smartphone will give you more value for money.

With a new curved back and larger 5.5-inch display the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is more about evolution than revolution. The S7 edge now sports a water-resistant body, embedded camera and a MicroSD card slot. The S7 edge is also Samsung's most powerful smartphone yet, so powerful in fact that Samsung have actually had to equip a tiny water-cooling system inside the phone. The good news though is that means you'll never have to worry about getting a warm hand.
Apple iPhone SE
The Huffington Post UK

The Huawei P9 is a smartphone designed for capturing life. Thanks to a partnership with photography legends Leica this dual-lens camera can take pictures that'll put your dedicated camera to shame. Of course it helps that the P9 is also a pretty great Android smartphone as well.
Google Nexus 5X
The Nexus 5X strikes the ultimate balance between power and affordability. Taking over the responsibility from the frankly excellent Nexus 5, Google's new smartphone boast an ultra-light body but still crams in a fingerprint sensor, the latest version of Android marshmallow and a Full-HD display.
