Nokia 5310 Xpress Music phone is the latest Originals member, launched in India at Rs 3,399

A few years ago, Nokia announced an Originals series, under which it has been bringing back some popular phones from the early 2000s. It brought the Nokia 3310 (review) in 2017, followed by the Nokia 8110 Banana phone  in 2018, and others. Now, in 2020, Nokia has re-launched the phone we all best knew as the Xpress Music phone – Nokia 5310 – under the Originals series.

Nokia 5310 specifications and features

The highlight of the phone, as its name suggests, is definitely the features it puts upfront to cater for the music lovers. The Nokia 5310 has dedicated music buttons on the top half of the either side of the phone. From the left, you can adjust the volume up and down, and on the right, there are dedicated buttons, to play and pause, and to play next or the previous song (the latter two buttons can also be used to change channels on radio mode).
