Nokia 3310 Relaunch

Analysts hailed the 3310 launch as a smart retro gambit, but one which could overshadow the Finnish company's re-entry into the global smartphone market.

Nokia 3310, known for its robustness, was the most widely used feature phone globally in 2000-05. It is estimated to have sold 126 million units globally when there were only a few countries with mobile networks.

The battery of the new device is removable, like its older version. However, the 2017 model is rechargeable through a microUSB port.

The new Nokia 3310 comes in four colours with a battery life of - wait for it - 30 days! Described as a 'modern classic reimagined', the reboot retains the silhouette of the original, albeit slimming it down, and replaces the black and white screen for a coloured one.

Launched in 2000, Nokia's original 3310 sold nearly 120 million units worldwide before it was discontinued in 2005, making it one of the world's best-selling mobile phones.

There are a lot of reasons why everyone loves the classic Nokia 3310 and remember it fondly even 17 years after its launch.
