Nokia 6310 | 2.8-inch Display | 1150mAh Removable Battery | Bluetooth 5.0 | VGA Camera With Flash
A modern revival of an early-2000s keypad favourite, rebuilt for today's calls, texts and wireless earpieces.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Nokia 6310 sells at Mascom International for KSh 2,300, brand new and sealed, with a 2.8-inch colour screen, a 1150mAh removable battery, Bluetooth 5.0 and a VGA camera with LED flash. HMD released this model in 2021 to revive the classic 6310 design that Nokia fans remember from the early 2000s, keeping the rounded shape while adding a modern colour screen. The Nokia 6310 runs on a Unisoc 6531F chip, takes one mini-SIM and one nano-SIM, and plays wireless FM radio. Test it at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for professionals and parents across Kenya, the Nokia 6310 handles the calls and texts that matter without the pull of social media. Parents buying a first phone for a junior secondary student get a handset that calls home and receives SMS, but cannot open TikTok or WhatsApp. Lawyers, accountants and sales teams in Upper Hill and Westlands pick it as a second line beside their main smartphone. Bluetooth 5.0 on the Nokia 6310 connects a wireless earpiece for hands-free calls while driving, and the 2.8-inch screen helps older eyes read names and messages. MMS support even lets you send a photo message.
At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for the Nokia 6310 from buyers who want something that looks different from the plain black keypad phones on most counters. The trade-off is clear: its 1150mAh battery is smaller than the 1450mAh cells in the Nokia 130 and Nokia 150, but you gain Bluetooth and a larger 2.8-inch screen than either. Every unit leaves our store sealed with a 12-month warranty. Drop by Kimathi Street to hold the Nokia 6310 in your hand, or order on WhatsApp and pay only on delivery.
Common Questions About the Nokia 6310
How much does the Nokia 6310 cost in Kenya?
The Nokia 6310 costs KSh 2,300 brand new and sealed at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD. For that you get the handset, a 1150mAh removable battery, a charger and a 12-month warranty. Delivery anywhere in Kenya is pay-on-arrival, by cash or M-Pesa. It sits KSh 100 above the Nokia 150 and the Nokia 3310, both KSh 2,200, and KSh 200 above the Nokia 130. The extra money over the Nokia 150 buys the larger screen and Bluetooth.
Nokia 6310 or Itel 8010 4G: which keypad phone is better for me?
Choose the Nokia 6310 for its larger 2.8-inch screen, Bluetooth 5.0 and camera with flash, and the Itel 8010 4G if you want a keypad phone on 4G networks for less money. The Itel 8010 4G costs KSh 1,700 at Mascom International, KSh 600 below the Nokia 6310. The Nokia 6310 runs on 2G only, with basic GPRS and EDGE data. Buyers who value design, hands-free calling and the classic Nokia layout should take the Nokia 6310; buyers who prefer a newer network standard at a lower price should take the Itel 8010 4G.
Will the Nokia 6310 work with Telkom and Airtel SIM cards?
Yes, the Nokia 6310 works on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom over the GSM 900 and 1800 MHz bands. It has one mini-SIM slot and one nano-SIM slot, so check your card sizes before you insert them. Most Kenyan SIM cards come in a multi-size cut, so you can pop out the size each slot needs. With two lines inside, a Telkom line for family calls and a Safaricom line for M-Pesa can share one handset.
Does the Nokia 6310 have Bluetooth for wireless earphones?
Yes, the Nokia 6310 has Bluetooth 5.0 with A2DP and LE, so it pairs with wireless earpieces, earbuds and car kits. A2DP is the Bluetooth profile that carries stereo audio, and LE stands for low energy, a mode that uses less battery. Taxi, delivery and school van drivers on Mombasa Road or Thika Road can take calls hands-free with an earpiece. A 3.5mm jack is also there for wired earphones when you prefer a cable.
Is the Nokia 6310 good for elderly users?
Yes, the Nokia 6310 is a sensible choice for elderly users because its 2.8-inch screen is larger than the 2.4-inch screens on the Nokia 130 and Nokia 150. Contact names, SMS and M-Pesa messages appear bigger and easier to read, which helps grandparents and anyone with weaker eyesight. The physical keypad means no tapping on glass, and the menus are short. Customers across Nairobi tell us they buy it for parents upcountry who struggled with a touchscreen.
Is the Nokia 6310 battery enough for a full day?
The Nokia 6310 uses a 1150mAh removable battery, and buyers throughout Kenya report it covers a working day of calls and SMS. No official talk-time figure is listed, so we do not quote hours. The larger screen and Bluetooth draw more power than on simpler keypad phones, so switching Bluetooth off when unused helps. It charges through microUSB with the charger in the box, and a charged spare battery keeps you calling through a long KPLC outage.
Can the Nokia 6310 take photos and send them?
Yes, the Nokia 6310 has a VGA rear camera with LED flash, giving basic 640 x 480 pixel photos. It also supports MMS, so you can send a picture message to another phone over the 2G network, with charges set by your operator. Photos are fine for recording a receipt, a parcel label or a meter reading, but not for family portraits. Pictures save to a microSD card, sold separately at Mascom International, because the 16MB internal storage fills quickly.
Who is the Nokia 6310 right for, and who should choose something else?
The Nokia 6310 is right for professionals who want a distinctive second line, parents choosing a distraction-free phone for a child, and older users who need a bigger screen. Skip it if you work outdoors in rain and dust, because it has no listed IP rating; the Nokia 150 with IP52 protection is the better fit at KSh 2,200. Skip it too if you need WhatsApp, Google Maps or banking apps. For those, the Itel A100c 64GB 2GB smartphone at KSh 8,300 is in stock at Mascom International.
Technical Specifications
Display
- 2.8-inch TFT LCD screen — bigger text for contacts, SMS and menus than the 2.4-inch screens on smaller keypad phones.
- 240 x 320 pixel QVGA resolution — clear menus, icons and photo previews on a compact panel that is easy to read.
- About 143 pixels per inch — characters look smooth at normal reading distance, even when you hold the phone low.
- Roughly 32% screen-to-body ratio — more display area than many keypad phones while still keeping a full physical keypad.
- 135.5 x 56 x 14.1 mm at 98 grams — light in a shirt pocket despite carrying the larger screen.
Processor and Software
- Unisoc 6531F chipset — a low-power processor widely used in keypad phones, which keeps battery drain modest.
- 8MB RAM — the working memory the keypad system uses for calls, messaging, radio and Bluetooth audio at once.
- Lightweight keypad operating system — no app store, no updates to chase and no account to sign into first.
- Preloaded games — offline games for a wait in traffic or a queue, with no downloads or mobile data needed.
- No Java support — extra apps cannot be installed, which keeps the phone simple and free of distractions for children.
Memory and Storage
- 16MB internal storage — holds contacts, SMS, call logs and a handful of photos before a memory card is needed.
- Four times the internal space of the Nokia 130 and Nokia 150 — their 4MB against 16MB here, for more saved messages.
- microSDHC card slot — add a memory card to store VGA photos and keep the internal memory free.
- Phonebook and call records — save contacts and see missed, received and dialled calls at a glance from the menu.
- Small VGA photo files — each image takes far less space than a smartphone photo, so even a modest card lasts.
Camera
- VGA rear camera — 640 x 480 pixel photos, about 0.3 megapixels, for quick records and reference shots.
- LED flash — lights receipts, labels and other close subjects in dim rooms, corridors or at night.
- MMS picture messaging — send a photo to another phone over the 2G network, subject to your operator's charges.
- No selfie camera — the front of the phone carries only the screen, earpiece and physical keypad.
- Photos save to a memory card — keeps the 16MB internal storage free for messages, contacts and call logs.
Battery and Charging
- 1150mAh lithium-ion battery — modest capacity matched to a basic phone with no apps running in the background.
- Removable battery — swap in a fresh battery as it ages instead of replacing the whole phone after a few years.
- microUSB charging port — works with the older-style cables still found in many homes, offices and car chargers.
- Charger in the box — start charging and calling on the same day the phone is delivered to you.
- Bluetooth off when unused — the simplest way to stretch the time between charges on the Nokia 6310.
Connectivity
- GSM 900 and 1800 MHz with GPRS and EDGE — works on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom 2G for calls, SMS and MMS.
- Mini-SIM plus nano-SIM slots — two lines on one handset, so work and personal numbers stay together.
- Bluetooth 5.0 with A2DP and LE — pairs with wireless earpieces, headphones and car kits for hands-free calling.
- Wireless FM radio — listen to stations through the loudspeaker without plugging in any earphones as an aerial.
- 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB port — wired earphones and charging work with standard cables, no adapters needed.
Package Contents
The sealed Nokia 6310 box contains the handset, the 1150mAh removable battery and a charger. That is everything needed to insert your SIM cards and start calling the day it arrives.
