Nokia to re-launch iconic 3310 at MWC 2017
Four Nokia phones are set to hit the stage at MWC 2017 in just a few weeks, according to a new report from a reliable leaker, and one may give you flashbacks of mobile years gone by.
HMD, the Finnish company that owns the rights to the Nokia phones brand, will lift the lid on a quartet of devices at the big Barcelona mobile show, a source briefed on the plans tells Evan Blass of VentureBeat.
While three of the phones aren't likely to get your pulse racing, the fourth one might, if only for memories' sake.
HMD is said to be readying a new take on the Nokia 3310, a feature phone we once called the greatest phone of all time. Smaller and more compact than its predecessor - the 3210 - the 3310 won over many in the early 2000s with its swappable fascias, overall resiliency, fully internal antenna and affordability.
Affordability will be a hallmark of this Nokia 3310 redux as it's said to go for €59 (about $62, £50, AU$81), a price that could be worth paying just to play a few rounds of Snake and send some SMS texts again.
