Make a political statement: Nokia 3310 Putin-Trump edition goes on sale

Encased in gold and titanium, back of the phone has a 3D picture of Putin and Trump

The return of the Nokia 3310, a few months ago, left many wondering if there was anything explicitly unique about the much-loved phone. But let’s not be disheartened because we’ve got news for you! 

A Russian-Italian phone customising company has launched a new Nokia 3310 Edition, which is named as the Putin-Trump edition.

This new edition is being released ahead of the upcoming meeting of the two superpower’s leaders at the G20 summit and is available in a number of countries, including Pakistan.

Encased in gold and titanium and priced at $2,500, the phone has a 3D picture of Putin and Trump placed at the back, with both leaders looking in the same direction.

Explaining the symbolism of this picture, the company stated on their website, “The fact that they’re looking in one direction undoubtedly expresses everyone’s desire of a progress in Russian-American relations”.

Unfortunately, till now, there are only 20 Nokia 3310 Putin-Trump edition phones up for grabs. 

However, despite the lavish encasement, the newly released edition of Nokia 3310 will feature the same specifications as the original edition which include:

2.4” with 240p resolution and a curved display with polarized layer for better readability in sunlight

2 MP camera with LED flash

16 MB internal storage along which can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot with support up to 32 GB

Available in both single SIM and dual SIM variants

1,200 mAh Battery, translating into up to 22 hours talk time and a standby time of 31 days

FM radio and MP3 player for music

Nokia Series 30+ Operating system
