Nokia 3310 (2017)

The Nokia 3310 is one of the most recognisable phones in the world. It is a phone every adult has used at some point in their life and when HMD Global brought back Nokia last year, we had a new version of the phone made for the modern times. It's a phone for old time's sake. You won't the features you are used to on a smartphone like WhatsAapp, Facebook, etc. It does have a colour screen and music playback capabilities and a physical keypad, but more importantly it lasts for around five days on a single charge. The phone is available in a punchy red colour variant and is a perfect phone for that special someone who likes to stay off the grid.

iPhone 7 (PRODUCT) Red Edition

It was Apple who first thought of launching its existing phones in a red colour variant, but not for Valentine's Day. It actually had a philanthrophic aim to fund AIDS treatment research. Nevertheless, the red edition of the iPhone 7 was quite popular and we have spotted it in the hands of people quite a few times. It's still the most expensive red phone you can get right now starting Rs 58,490.
