‘Snake’ isn’t the only game you can play on the nostalgia-heavy Nokia 3310

MWC 2025
Read our complete coverage of Mobile World Congress

HMD’s Nokia 3310 may be the most popular phone at Mobile World Congress 2017, and a part of its nostalgic lure has been the modernized version of Snake that’s installed on the “dumb” phone.

If you missed the news, HMD Global, which is now a licensee of Nokia’s brand name, reintroduced a feature phone that originally debuted in 2000. The new Nokia 3310 runs on 2G networks, costs about $52, has a monthlong standby battery life, lets you make calls and text people as well as browse the internet via the Opera Mini browser. More importantly, you can play Snake.

But Snake isn’t the only game available on the 3310 — in fact, we spotted four others that were on the device, and more were available for purchase via the phone’s app store. There’s Doodle Jump, Diamond Twister 2, Drag Racing, and Asphalt 6: Adrenaline.

The app store didn’t seem to have any other non-gaming apps other than what was preinstalled, but it did say more apps are on the way. It’s unclear if the Nokia 3310 will ever get support for apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

There were a decent amount of games, most of which cost money though. Again, this device isn’t meant to replace smartphones, but the Nokia 3310 seems like a great gadget to keep around — for its aesthetics or in case you want a backup or burner phone. It’s why we awarded it the Best Gadget at MWC 2017.

If you want to play Snake but don’t want to wait for the 3310 to be released, you can challenge your friends to the game via Facebook Messenger.

TORRAS Ostand Air Case deal: save 15% for Earth Day
The iPhones with Ostands, one red, one green, and one purple.

Earth Day is almost here, and TORRAS is making it even easier to celebrate sustainably without sacrificing style. From April 18 to April 25, you can score 15% off the TORRAS Ostand Air Case (available for iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max) when you use code ostand321 at checkout. It's the perfect time to refresh your phone case with something that blends innovation, protection, and nature-inspired design.

Why the TORRAS Ostand Air Stands Out
Light as air but strong as a rock, the Ostand Air is designed for people who want serious protection without the usual bulk. The case features AirMax Cushioning with a dual airbag system, offering 360-degree drop protection. Four-corner core airbags and independent side airbags work together to absorb shocks from drops, bumps, and rough terrain. Whether you're hiking a rocky trail or just navigating a packed commute, those airbags deliver real peace of mind.

The iPhone 18 may increase in price… but not for the reason you think

Among all the tariff updates that we receive every week, there's one more factor that might make Apple's iPhones pricier: The switch to TSMC's 2nm process node. According to a new leak, Apple, MediaTek, and Qualcomm are well on their way to switching to the 2nm process, and that might increase the cost of some of the best smartphones.

The grim news comes from frequent leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo. According to the tipster, Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek are expected to switch to TSMC's 2nm process in 2026. This is good news performance-wise, but not so much as far as costs are concerned. TSMC's 2nm process will be more efficient, offering better performance across the board, but it'll also cost more than 3nm and 5nm. Because of that, the leaker predicts: "There may be another round of price increases for new phones."

Google demos its smartglasses and makes us hanker for the future
A screenshot from Google's TED Talk on its smartglasses.

At a recent TED talk, Google’s exciting XR smartglasses were demonstrated to the public for the very first time. While we’ve seen the smartglasses before, it has always been in highly polished videos showcasing Project Astra, where we never get a true feel for the features and functionality in the real world. All that has now changed, and our first glimpse of the future is very exciting. However, future is very much the operative word.
