WORLDWIDE — Nokia will relaunch its famous 3310 mobile phone, reports say.
The 17-year-old 3310 is best known for its durability and now, it’s getting a modern successor.
VentureBeat's Evan Blass reports that alongside its anticipated Nokia 3, 5 and 6 smartphones, HMD Global, the new company behind the Nokia name, will unveil a reworked 3310 at this month's Mobile World Congress.
The company is aiming to build a "modern version" of the device, including an updated design and presumably improved software functionality. Build quality and battery life will remain the top characteristics though, with marketing material heavily focused on durability.
The new phone will retail at €59, or $62.27, Blass reports.
