Nokia 3310! Function machine market gimmick, sales reached tens of millions

Do you still remember the summer rain at Daming Lake? Or the iconic Nokia 3310 from the early days of mobile phones? For the feature phone market, Nokia has never truly stepped back. In fact, the company remains deeply embedded in this space. While most manufacturers focus on high-end smartphones, there's a growing gap in the low-end feature phone segment—something that Nokia has been successfully filling.

According to Counterpoint Research, a global market research firm, Nokia sold 13.5 million handsets in Q3 2017 (July-September), with the re-launched Nokia 3310 being the top seller. This revival of a classic model shows how strong the demand for simple, reliable devices still is, especially in emerging markets where affordability and durability are key factors.

The new Nokia 3310 comes with a fresh color design and now supports 3G networks. It offers up to 6.5 hours of talk time and an impressive 27 days of standby time. Priced around 399 RMB, it’s not just a nostalgic throwback—it’s a practical choice for users who value simplicity and long battery life.

Function phones still have a solid place in today’s market. Their main advantages include security, privacy, and durability. Most feature phones run on the S40 platform or custom-built systems, which prevent the installation of third-party apps, making them more secure against malware. With lower hardware requirements, they consume less power, leading to longer battery life. These features make them ideal for users who don’t need the complexity of smartphones but still want reliable communication tools.

In a world dominated by smart devices, the survival of feature phones like the Nokia 3310 proves that there’s still a niche—and even a growing demand—for simpler, more durable technology. Whether it's for daily use, emergency situations, or just a break from digital overload, these devices continue to serve a meaningful purpose.
