The 2017 Mobile World Congress action has begun and it has begun with a big bang. Nokia has kick started the event with a lot of fireworks. Being one of the first smartphone maker to make it to the headlines with their new launches, the brand has also brought back a ton of bygone memories. Starting off with the return of the iconic Nokia 3310 feature phone, we believe it is the first ever time in history of mobile devices where the world is eagerly waiting for a launch of a basic ‘retro’ classic device in the age of futuristic smartphones.
Nokia has launched the 3310 for a price of EURO 49 that roughly translates to INR 3,500.
Without wasting anytime in nostalgia and remembrance lets get to the all new Nokia 3310. The new 3310 phone gets a complete design overhaul but it keeps the sentimental value going with its shape and aesthetics. The folks at HMD Global and Nokia have made sure that the 3310 gets the latest tech while retaining a lot of the bits of the original. Speaking of that, the new 3310 comes preloaded with the legendary Snake game but this time it is in colour.
The 2017 Nokia 3310 comes with a 2.4 inch colour display with polarized layer for better readability in sunlight. The OS and UI is kept close to the original version as it features Nokia Series 30. The phone is available in colour like, Warm Red (Glossy), Dark Blue (Matte), Yellow (Glossy), Grey (Matte). It comes with physical push buttons and the placement of the keypad is alike the original. Other features of the phone include:
