Details
have emerged that the new Nokia 3310 is about to be re-released.
It is perceived that the phone is now slimmed-down slightly and it is now a bit lighter than the 2000 model of the phone – of which there are 126 million.
And, perhaps the phone have colour variety display – although it’s not expected to be high resolution so that it can keep battery power.
It’s not expected that it will run android as it’s a ‘feature phone’ according to Vtech, but the design will largely be the same as the ‘Robotic’ old one.
We’re expecting announcements from the Mobile World Congress which is taking place in Barcelona next week.
The phone was discontinued in 2005 – but now there’s new hope for people who want a no frills handset that can stay on for up to ten days.
HMB Global, which owns the rights to the Nokia brand, is expected to announce four new handsets for sale, among them is the new 3310.
The feature phone will be retailed at around £49, according to VentureBeats reports.
A Mobile phone reporter Evan Blass said that the phone will be a ‘homage’ to the 3310.
The nokia brand will be marketed to European consumers, who may be willing to use it as a second phone.
Sales could be driven by a nostalgia factor, given that the phone has kept a kind of cult status among people who remember how long it lasted compared to today’s iPhones and Samsung Galaxies.
The event will be held on February 26 in Barcelona.
